To add TTM possibility. The possibility of overtime doesn't change! |

Like p4m and Zombie69 says: to add an OTS possibility via TTM. Chaos teams could go this route for example, they often hire Ripper or Morg in tourneys and don't normally have access to a player with Right Stuff.
To change topics: one thing that fascinates me about the polling results is the large number of coaches that prefer a DE/HE lino to a WE lino. Like I wrote in my previous post, I find the WE lino to be strictly superior. The difference is in MA and AV, so clearly most coaches prefer higher AV. But why? You're picking a player to be your ball-carrier. He's clearly going to use high MA to do his job. And if you play it right he's not supposed to get hit, so his AV won't come into play very often. So why pick the higher AV elf lino? |

"if you play it right"
Its a rare game that your ball carrier doesnt get hit. Some people will also want to use the elf for defence and absolutely everyone wants to keep their prize alive for a long period of time... I'd rather thave a slightly slower elf for 15 games than a faster one for 10 games |

Yea, that's the heart of the issue i suppose. I'd rather have a slightly faster elf for 10 games. |

I've been back and forth but going to go for a High Elf lino over a Wood Elf one for potential longevity. I want HE rather than DE as he'll look more out of place and fluff wise I think a high elf would turn his nose up at Orcs which will make me feel better when he niggles first game. |
