I'm planning of joining a local BB tournament and want to play Pro Elves (Elf Union) I'm allowed 1100k for building the team and 150k for skill. Skill rules are no +st or +ag upgrades and no more then 40k (two normal skills) allowed per player.
I've chosen my players to be all the positionals and 3 linemen, 2 rerolls, and an apothecary. (1140k) It's the skill selection that is knocking me up. I've chosen block on all the catchers (80k) and am not sure if I should put guard on the blitzers (60k) or dodge on the blitzers and skill (safe throw, accurate or leader) on a thrower. {70k)
the core of the debate is guard stacks well with sidestep and will help me block down key players on the other team. Blodge and sidestep stack better however and if I get leader; I could drop a reroll and buy another lineman, and in a most likely bashy tournament would be more useful on a whole. The other passing skills are just plain useful with four NoS catchers and pulling off classic elf nonsense.
Comments, critiques, and advice are welcome. Thanks for the help |

Hello,
Off the top of my head, I would go:
2 Blitzers, Thrower, 3 Catchers, Linos to 12, 2 x RR, Apo. That’s flush at 1.1.
Skills: Leader Thrower first, get to 3 RR. I’d like a Dodge / DT Blitzer for being super annoying. That’s 40 k (60 k total). Guard on the other Blitzer is a good shout, but you'd also have to invest in a further double to spend all 150 k. If you went that way, I’d have two Dodge and a Wrestle across your Catchers and not spend it all. Instead of that, you could take a two skill Catcher or a second Guard. I think you need two more Dodge players and a Wrestler, though, so that's where I'd go.
I’m not into giving Throwers passing skills. You don’t need them, you’re Pro Elves!
Have fun, and I’ve edited a bit of language in your post. Please keep it clean.
Many edits: Fat fingers plus Monday morning = terrible post. Sheesh. It's right now, though.  |

a few thoughts without calculating the costs:
- another lineelf would be good, it's a very fragile team
- generally you don't need two passer on any team, much less on an elf team
-> maybe dropping one passer and one catcher for 3 lineelfs is doable? (again, no calculation, I don't have the costs memorized)
- tackle on either a blitzer or a block catcher is highly valuable
- dodge! at least one of the catcher should have dodge for that last turn dodge through the screen winning TD..and dodge is good on other player, too...you won't win the block war, but you can build positional advantages |
