Hey Guys. Question.
On my perpetual mm human team (1190 TV atm), I have a AG+ Blitzer (no other skills yet). He would be a very good player if not for the fact that he got a niggling injury.
Now I'm wondering if it is worth keeping him around or booting him first chance. What do you think?

Hey Guys. Question. On my perpetual mm human team (1190 TV atm), I have a AG+ Blitzer (no other skills yet). He would be a very good player if not for the fact that he got a niggling injury. Now I'm wondering if it is worth keeping him around or booting him first chance. What do you think? Toughie. I'd say it depends if you have any other "core" skills on other players yet. If no, keep til you do or he dies. If you already have a thrower and catchers , and especially if you have skills on them, drop him. ag 4 is still not as reliable as ag3 rr, so unless you're missing pass, dodge, catch etc, I'd dump him. alternatively, if your offence is more bash orientated, keep him, use him as cage centre/carrier, and tool him with sure hands etc. Well caged he won't get hit, therefore niggle won't matter as much :-) personally I run my humies with screens not cage, and I have a thrower and 2 catchers, so the ag4 isn't that crucial. Definitely a tricky choice.

I usually play a loose running cage style. At the moment I only have an unskilled thrower and catcher because I kept handing off to blitzers/linemen to score (and only just bought the catcher).
I guess I'll look to replace him when I can afford it.
Thanks for the help.

Man... that's tough...
Humans really benefit from any stat increases. But they're only ever going to be AV8. A niggle will mark him to the end of his days. I know it's a tough decision, but cut the bloat and fire him. You'll be happy later when you really need his skills, but he can't stay on the pitch every drive because he's KO'd from a blitz, or something. Cut him before he gains any more SPP's.
It's going to hurt, but it's the right decision in the long run...

Boot- you are just going to keep wasting your Apo on him, and he will be targeted. And an Apo use on him means your other viable players will be getting crocked slowly. It's harsh medicine, but I would do it.

I can see what everyone is saying here but I'd keep him for now. I wouldn't use an app on him though, and let him fade away on the pitch. It should be possible to protect him and could be used as a ball carrier or ball retriever. He's still got decent armour and good stat/skills.

That was my thought. If you had another ag4 or developed receivers he would be unnecessary, but he will sertainly suffice while training some assuming you protect him. Would be an easier decision with a proper cage team as opposed to running screens. Another thought I forgot to ask was how easily you can afford to replace? If you're short on cash or saving for something, or only have 11-12 players prob best keeping him too

At the moment I only have 11 players and 70K in treasury so that's why I'm keeping him around for now. Already played one match with him niggled and he actually managed to stay on the pitch (mostly because I never let him base someone). I will definitely look to replace him though, but I want another lineman first.

i would keep, at least for now, it may help if you define some of the roles your players will be.
"ball hawk" skills to int or get to the ball (pass block, leap, strip ball dodge) "killer" Skills like MB PO jump up tackle "protector" Guard, stand firm, Scorer - dodge, catch, dive catch, fend Defender - kick dive tackle tackle shadow side step strip ball
some roles not matter if niggled but others like protector would need to be sacked (but you wouldn't have an agi 4 protector lol)

Retire him. I am not a fan of having an agility up on players that aren't meant for that role in the first place and now that he is niggled....
Mostly for the reason of boosting your team's tv. You don't need that. Slow up your development, plan your skill/stats increases, and focus on utilizing the abilities that are useful and cheaper!
