How well does an elusive back with a fullback leading do running up the middle? The reason I ask is that currently I have 2 speed backs on the roster and we were easily shut down in some games. If I redistribute my equipment, I can have my speed at about 49 and agility around 55 (with 13 more points to soft cap agility) and 31 vision. The lead blocking FB I am bringing over will have about 48/49 speed as well.

Is this a good combo for running up the middle provided I get my carrying upwards of 30-35?

I'm not really sure. It works on some plays and doesnt work on others. I have an elusive RB and a pure blocking FB. If the team you are facing blitzes up the middle you are screwed. You're RB's and FB have to have high vision to see the block and the hole. My RB had 1300 yards but only averaged 3.6 YPC. So it really sepends on the team you are facing and how well your FB blocks.

should be fine, so long as your oline is good.

you should have enough agility and vision to get through the line. you def wanna have some high SAs to help get past the big guys in the middle.
