Hi all,
After a really successful streak of matches (13-2-1) with my new Undead team in BB2 COL, I have decided to start this thread to pay homage to the often underappreciated skeleton.
Contrary to "established wisdom" (or at least what I have read in this web and seen on the pitch), I decided to stack up on skellies, isntead of zombies, as my regular grunts. Obviously, I run 3 zombies for defensive LOS duties, but every other player who is not a positional is a skellie and I am starting to become really happy about my decision.
The key is, of course, that extra MV, which in my opinion beats the zombies´extra AV, What is not surprising, when you come to think about, because most coaches would pick the extra MV rather than the AV when rolling a 10. If you do that with most of your players, why choosing a zombie over a skeleton?
That extra MV is quite invaluable at many tasks, such as providing assists, marking runaway players, shutting running lanes and, of course, fouling where is needed. It really shines on defence, and the low amount of TD´s my team has sustained is partially due to the skellies´hard work.
Just as an example, my last match was against an Undead team very similar to my one, with a major difference: my rival had no skeletons. At a crucial point of the match a zombie snake eyed a GFI and my rival started complaining about bad luck. My thought was: that wouldn´t have happened to a skellie
What do you guys think? Anyone else a fan of the skellies?
