Third skill on Wight that already has Guard and Mighty Blow

So my undead team is coming along nicely and my sacker-Wight just got his third level. Now I'm not sure which skill I want to give him, either Pilling On or Tackle. He already has Guard and Mighty Blow. What do you guys think?

My team is in a fixed league with 7 other teams: Lizardman, Elf, Wood Elf, Dwarf, Norse, Goblin, Orc.

My complete team with their levels:
Mummy - Block, Guard
Mummy - Guard, Breat Tackle
Wight - Guard, Mighty Blow, [new skill]
Wight - +1 AG, +1 MA, Tackle, Dodge
Ghoul - Block, Sure Hands
Ghoul - Wrestle, Tackle
Ghoul - Guard
Ghoul - Guard, Block
Zombie - Block
Zombie - Kick
Zombie
Zombie
Zombie

The purple colored Tackle and Block are also new skills I just got last game. You are welcome to comment on those as well, if you have better suggestions than the ones I took.

I would love to hear your opinions and suggestions :)

I'd go for tackle on the wight and change the ghouls tackle to strip ball

- Piling On makes Mighty Blow more effective, and you have other Tacklers to deal with Dodge, so I suggest Piling On on your Wight, moreover Piling On makes the SPPs gain faster.
- The Wrestle, Tackle Ghoul is fine, DON'T swap Strip Ball with Tackle.
Tackle is generally more useful, while Strip Ball is situational and loses effectiveness as the teams get skills.

Piling on. Not great synergy with guard, but he is about the only guy that can become your killerblitzer and theres no other obvious paths or needs that you have to fill so go killer i say. Just be a little bit more conservative with using PO than if he hadn't got guard.

Thank you all for the surprisingly quick feedback!

I hadn't really thought about strip ball as an option, just figured tackle would have more uses both offensively and defensively, especially with the number of opponents that build it are building their team around a one turn touchdown. And both elf teams, the lizardmen, and the gobbos are full of dodgers (of course).

But as I see it the advice is split between two options:
1) take tackle with the Ghoul and pilling on with the Wight
2) take strip ball with the Ghoul and tackle with the Wight

For now in leaning to number 1

Pile on Wight.
As to the ghouls l aim for blodgers for 3 then Frenzy on 1 sure hands on a second and tackle on the third. Wight 4 is either blodge sstrip ball or wrestle strip.
Mostly in reality they are blodge dead.

so strip on the wrestle guy as he is a ball hawk. 2 guard ghouls. Scary but glass l would have gone mb.

Deffo Piling On for the Wight. Ghoul is tougher. Tackle and Strip are both fine, Strip probs getting the edge for me as he willl only really be trying desperation blitzes.
