This guy is a blocking only FB. The primary HB he blocks for has 71/60 speed/agility. Would you bump Lead Block from 5 to 7 (cost of 8 SP's) or spend those points on speed/agility?

Speed:54.09Tackling:15.57

THANKS in advance for your input....

Id go agility and also consider stamina if he is the main FB on the team

Just curious--what are your thoughts on Stamina for the FB position? I'm the primary FB and a level 40--My stamina is around 43 and I've not noticed any reason to bump it much beyond that (other than a point or two a season to match the increased burden of playing at higher levels).

tbh I like stamina to the softcap on all my players when they get to 35ish... earlier on certain positions... but thats just me ! depends on backups etc too ....

I'd go for Agility to 60. Once you're there, save the remaining points and watch the next game and see if your guy is fast enough to block for the HB. If he is, go ahead and spend those points on Lead Block, if not then spend them on speed and/or swap one piece of equipment from Strength to Speed.

THANKS for the input so far....he is the starter but the backup is close to his level so stamina in not a primary concern at this time, although I'm training it and Confidence on intense to "keep up" as stated by Larry Roadgrader above.

Yeah agility would make the most sense. Best "bang for you buck" imo.

You need to second cap his blocking and put some pts in Lead Block when able..... Imo
*Edit* Forgot to see that you haven't 2nd-capped Agility yet.... I would do that before 2nd capping blocking.... then invest more in Lead Block.. but DEFINATELY 2nd cap BLOCKING. ( If you're going for a blocking FB )

false. blocking is over rated... he is hitting a hole hard with speed. its not about technique, its about speed acceleration and strength.
