With the changes in the sim, what are your thoughts on turning a speed back into a combo back. With 20 SP to spend at the beginning of the season, and +4 equip as well, would it make sense to put it all in strength, so he can actually run through the line for once.

My other plan would be to cap agility and speed at 68.

No one knows what next season will bring... power backs might get nerfed... and who knows if the Super Elusive will be any good

It's whatever the flavor of the month will be. Last season it was 5 Wide passes and the powerback in general. This season who knows.

Looking at your guy's build I'd say it'd be a good investment to make. Strength still costs 1 sp and you didn't go extremely high on any SA's yet.

quick and track star for the VAs. I'll probably wait till the season starts to see what's up. At the moment, I'm splitting time with another elusive back and a FB, so I think I might try it. If I were to add just to strength, that would put me at about 50 or so for strength. That's not really a combo back, but it could be on the right track in the long run. The only other scenerio I see working for my guy if the sim doesn't improve, is to increase jumping and catching significantly to become a serious receiving threat.
