Okay, my HB has always *sort of* been a balanced back, but he's definitely leaned towards the power back build. However, using my boosts and probably 1 midseason level-up I'm going to make him a true combo back. Here's the plan:

Current stats:
Strength: 56.78 Blocking: 14.45
Speed: 52.31 Tackling: 7
Agility: 53.76 Throwing: 14.45
Jumping: 14.45 Catching: 22.71
Stamina: 31.58 Carrying: 27.45
Vision: 40.81 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 21.36 Punting: 10
33111
22231

Here's the logic that I'm going to follow:
DBs are always going to have higher speed than me, and DL are going to have lower speed than me. LBs will be about equal.
DL are always going to have higher strength than me. LBs and DBs will have lower strength than me.

The thought is to run past the DL and run through the LBs and DBs. That's how I'm going to build him from now on.

With my 15 boost SPs, I'm going to put 2 into First Step, 2 into Juke, and 7 SPs(to give me 3) into Spin. That gives me 4 more SPs which 2 will be put into Agility to reach the soft cap and 2 into Carrying.

From then on, almost all of my level-up SPs will go into speed. Let's say I get 2 level ups throughout the season...that will be 5 additional speed.

So at the end of the season, my stats will look roughly like this:
Strength: 57 Blocking: 14
Speed: 58 Tackling: 7
Agility: 56 Throwing: 14
Jumping: 14 Catching: 23
Stamina: 32 Carrying: 29
Vision: 41 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 24 Punting: 10
33334
22231

He will run on power the entire time.

I'll update this for each game. Hopefully it works well! Combo backs get a bad rap and I'd like to change that.

Why run on power if you're going for combo?

you mean padded 4.9 in the 5th best league in GLBv Look, every RB played against the bad teams, how come they didn't get as many yards? Seriously, you'd have to be pretty damn dumb to pick your RB over mine. Yours obviously suck while mine has been productive for 3 seasons.

My RB is Balanced and he adveraged 10.2 yards a carry in my last game 31 carries for 315 yards

I'd go with Balanced Running Back they can do it all have more strenth than the DB's (Safeties/Corners)to run them over and speed and agility to juke, out run or shake a LB or DLinemen

You are also level 10 so take it with a grain of salt
