Cap speed, Swap some equp to agility, then carrying. Unless your team doesn't use the FB much. We are a 20-35% Fb running team. I average around 8-12 carries a game, and I had a fumble problem out of nowhere season 3 that I stamped out fast. i had to get my carrying to 34 and I had to get cover up to 4 (with equip). Then I only fumbled once in the playoffs (semis) season 5. None in reg season.

What about vision for FBs? Does it help the FB go to the defender that is "better" to block for the HB rather than the closest defender....like helping to double team a DT on a pitch play totally worthless.

I am going to level up after 2 training days, then I am gonna boost once at that time, then i am boosting twice on my last level up before playoffs.

I don;t know where to put my 10 SP either for my build.

I was thinking
2 SP in Power Thru
2 SP in Quick Cut
4 SP in vision
2 SP in speed
OR
2 SP in Power Thru
2 SP in Quick Cut
6 in speed
Then swap a piece of speed equip (3SP) and swap it for strength to give me 60 str

Vision for Fb's makes you go to the biggest "threat" The biggest threat being a function of tackling strength and position i believe. So on a pitch your fb will now go inside and grab the NT probably. So vision for fb's starts acting glitchy at 30+

for your fb its sounds like your plan is pretty good to.

I thought you would trash my Fb because he is so weak. I just haven't noticed anything bad not having 80 something strength.

You can be honest...really He is only in an AA league, but it has been around since week 9, season 1. So I am still going against defenses who are level 28-33 depending on if they boosted.

I think i am gonna go with this choice:

2 SP in PT
2 SP in QC
6 in speed
Swap speed equip for Str. to get my str to over 60.

Anyone else getting fumbling worries? That is why I am saving 2 boosts, in case i need to "stop the bleeding" and get carrying/cover up beefed. I get at least 8 carries per game, so there is a decent chance of a fumble.

The only use for uber high strength is getting pancakes (bc you are usually double teaming a dt.) and while i like those i recognize that is not a fb's only purpose unlike a lot of people. I think that you will be fine w/0 the caryying/cloverup but you will be glad for saving those boosts if you do start having problems.
