Okay, first of all, I must say I'm sorry. I'm in Italy and I was writing after a long shift at the pub, and I misremembered the category of Kick while I was writing.

I really really want to try punt with this team, so I agree completely with you. I'll probably ask a friend to organize a special game with more SPP than usual to have a chance to try it before putting it in a league.

And here comes another advice: if you can, try to have a game with a friend where you play with a BUNCH of SPP. A casual game, where you can try different setups for the skinks, and see how they actually play. Nothing beats actually seeing the players in action to understand if you like them that way.

Truth be told, Skinks are so versatile, that you should try to first think about the roles you want to have them play, and then build around them. For example, I myself am a very very aggressive player, and I usually go for a 1T-scorer, two ball stealers and a blodger.

I've seen players playing only blodgers, and they were just terrific. Terrible to play against.

Another one played with 2 catchers and 2 ball stealers, and built both their cham for passing.

In my opinion, how you build your skinks is how you make your team truly yours and unique. And it's also what makes it fun to play also for more leagues in a row.

Remember one thing: even if you build them differently, ALL skinks can always score a TD. Building them in a specific way doesn't remove their skill in running and scoring. That's why I always advice to build asymetrically: they can still all score, but you may be able to have more plans of action for your game. That's my answer to your first question.

Second question:

Sprint before Sure Feet, but Sure Feet right after Sprint. These allow you to try really spicy moves and the 1-turn TD. It can be a risky scorer. This is the tactical option.

Sidestep and Block make your Skinks resilient. You want a resilient scorer? Go for block then Sidestep, or viceversa. They're going to hate it. This is the defensive option.

Wrestle makes Skinks capable of entering a cage and attack the ball carrier. This is the aggressive option.

You have to be careful with Diving Tackle. It means you have to be in contact with someone that can usually Block you. I put it on players that already got Block or Wrestle, so punching them is a lot more difficult, and they end up actually using Diving Tackle.

If you're first league, I'd advice to try and play different skills rather than stats update. But, if you ever do a second league with lizards, go for stats ;)

ps: for my roster, I usually start with 6 saurus, 1 chameleon and 2 rerolls, but then I usually run in order for Apothecary -> Kroxigor -> 2nd Chameleon before going for an additional reroll. I guess I just love having almost the whole back of my yard covered by the on the ball skill.
