I'd recommend dauntless. Since he's strength 2 and most of the other players are at least strength 3, this allows him to block and blitz them at even strength. With his high movement, you can develop the gutter into a mobile blitzer and e.g. harass the opponent's thrower. Later skills for him would be block, strip ball and tackle, horns on another double.
One other option is just taking the movement and developing him into a one-turn scorer by giving him sprint and later sure feet. Just be careful not to let him hog all the SPPs or your team will be very unbalanced.
Edit:
You can of course just take +MA and use him normally like any other gutter runner, only with even more mobility. |

If you want an MA11 gutter runner (the much hated and despised one-turner) you can better opt to pick the +MA because odds are better that you roll a double for the VLL.
I'd pick dauntless any day though.  |

MA or dauntless, not VLL. VLL is easier to get than MA and you can only get VLL once, MA twice. The only thing better with VLL is the +1 to intercept. |

get a one-turner, and i'll do everything in my power to kill it...
the lesson?....don't make one-turners...they cripple teams, because you rely on them for everything, they're spp whores, and the next thing you know you're at TR 200 with a 100spp player, and everyone else has like 10....and your team gets broken....
skaven are weak, armor-wise....don't cripple them even more by overbalancing them with a stupid one-turner....
having a MA10 player is cool, simply for being able to have such sick mobility....but MA11, or 10+sprint is just begging to ruin your team

I'd say +MA over VLL because you can then add either another movement increase or very long legs to that. You can't choose very long legs twice, so if you roll another pair doubles (not 5+5), you can't increase your movement with that.
Then again, VLL also gives you +1 to interceptions so if you think that's important for this player you could consider it. Besides, MA 10 is enough to score in one turn with sprint already. |

Um...*cough*
you do realize that VLL isn't the only mutation, or skill chosen on a double right?

Purely on the VLL vs +MV, VLL adds +1 to MA and +1 to interception attempts but can only be taken on a double. If you are going to take +MA you might as well take VLL.
The only draw back on VLL vs +MA would be if the GR were to take shadowing at some point. (I think) |

The key to one turners is to use them in the first turn, then hide them in the reserve box until the field is clearer, and bring them out only if you need to score quickly again. |
