Hey all. I just rolled up a fullback. Here is a link to my character http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1537236. The only character I have had before was a center, so I had some questions-

1) There are two lvl 1 FBs on my D-league team and I am the second string. Should I quit and sign with a new team?

2) When slow building, you save Skill points until you can reach a cap correct? For instance, I have 15 Skill points. I should wait until I have a 33 in Str before blowing them all so that I can get my STR up to 48, and I shouldn't use any before then right?

3) What is a good build for a FB? I understand speed is important, but that you want to hold off on it so that you can cap some other skills first. Right now I am training STR/BLK up. Is that the right choice? If so, what do I train after that?

I would train strength/blocking all season until the end of the season and then you should have enough to cap both of those. Then switch to training agility/something else while saving SP's until you can cap agility. Speed should be the last thing (not because it is not important but because you can capitalize on level increases on other skills.

I also just noticed that my speed is an 8. I know it is important to keep the attribute gains in mind, but I'm seriously slower than a lineman.

Speed has no attribute gains. It is not important at level 1 but it becomes important later. starting out at 8 is not uncommon.

As to your first questions. It is better to train your first skill to 24 with 90% to 99% trained. Then by level 3 or 4 you can softcap it with your saved SP. Your next skills can be trained higher before capping. The trick is to cap your fist skill as soon as possible. This way you can take advantage of level gains very early.

I like blocking FBs. taking strength to 68 is a common first goal for FBs. Blocking and agility are other great skills. These are 3 of your 4 major skills as a FB and should get 0.5 points gained per level. Speed gets no gains so it is better worked on later. I prefer to wait until at the earliest level 21 when your level gains reduce for the first time.
