Since I am much more of an OC than DC or ST's guru, I am only going to go through the offensive side of the ball.
A couple small notes I can add to the OP:
- Builds that generally move around the field a lot and possibly have lots of speed usually should have mid 60's stamina. Some builds may benefit from a couple points in Second Wind as an alternative to keep refreshed if your depth isn't already the fix to that issue.
- Some build strategies are worked around lack of confidence to get primaries to higher levels. If you feel you are a good enough team throughout and are using this strategy, HOAC and/or Hometown Hero can be attractive offers.
- My general setups don't include team wide strategies nor do they differentiate a starter from a backup. All my general setups are based on starters. The alternatives really come into play for backups. Other strategies I have used as well are building the starting offense geared toward the RZ. 15 RZ Freak and GL Blocker on the oline starters, 15 RZ Freak on a couple targets. One or 2 players with Prime Time Player (generally a TE since they are easiest to manipulate though i have pretty much just done it on everyone now). Another strategy is late game savers. If you are a defensive type team that has a lot of close games, OT Killer to the max on all the starters really can go a long way. Whether you are trailing by 0-7 or winning, it can be quite a good strategy to play. Generally ill keep OT killer from 1 to 6 on most players. But i have tried the idea of 15 on all starters and thrived with it.
