How much in carrying should a level 19 HB have? At what point do consistent fumbles stop?

I didn't have a fumble issue last season, but this season I've fumbled 6 times.

I don't want to state how much carrying I have yet, I would like to see what the consensus says is a valid amount of carry for my level.

I'd say 30ish unless you're still finishing off a slow build. Fumbles, like interceptions, are due to a lot of other factors than just stats. It totally depends on your O Line and the Defenses you're going up against.

Honestly, fumbles never stop. I can tell you that being a 32 HB and having a 29 power back as well. Just make sure you keep you carrying/strength/cover up going upwards every few levels. 1 fumble every other game is a fair average to shoot for.

Oh and dont neglect confidence.

Well that kinda sucks. My player is over 30 in carrying with +3 in coverup and he seriously gets a fumble every game. We have an FB with the same stats that gets one every game as well.

Perhaps higher confidence is needed...

Maybe your OL sucks and is letting LB's and SS's move in to hit you hard?

The fumbles mainly happen in the open field.

I think that fumbles have increased for everyone this season with the changes to the importance of carrying. Another victim of the Bort stat changes.
