Skills like this are going to give you better odds when blocking and blitzing and help you avoid needing to use a precious reroll. Any skill is useful here, but the skills that give you rerolls (Sure Hands, Throw, Catch, Dodge, etc) are ideal.Īlso, skills that help with blocking are great, such as Block, Wrestle, or Tackle.

Get Players That Come With Skillsīecause you’ll generally be starved for rerolls early on, having players on your team that come with skills is extremely valuable. On some teams they really help out early on, but put some serious thought into it and the value they bring. I’m not saying never take a Big Guy on your starting roster.

You don’t need them early on, though it’s damn tempting. Putting a Big Guy on your starting roster can really harm you as a result of that unreliability. They also lack mitigating skills like Block. A Big Guy is the antithesis of reliable because of detrimental traits like Loner, Really Stupid, etc. You’ve got limited funds to get everything you need and you want a reliable team to start with as you’re going to likely be limited on rerolls. Those are all great players to have on your team, but they aren’t required for a starting roster. Try to Avoid Big GuysĪ common point in this regard is Big Guys, be it an Ogre, Kroxigor, Minotaur, etc. That being said, if you want to maximize your team for league play, then you should be buying players that you need to have. Buy Players You Need and Not Players You Wantįirst, I’m all for just buying players for your team that you think are great be it a model or you just like the player’s rules. However, there are a few key points that I feel are consistent from team to team. I can’t cover this in great detail as every team is going to approach roster building differently.
