Now the concept of not putting any pts into stam, pumping STR immediately and then training stam, makes much more mathematical sense -- particularly with respect to DT's. But the idea of not putting pts into STR or stam at creation is recipe for disaster.
That is basically what I do. I train Stamina and use my points for Strength (for a DT) to get it to the soft cap of 48 asap.

Under the new system, the best DT roll that I've gotten is +19 (the aggregate surplus of STR, AGI and Tackling over the base 10). I think it was STR 19, AGI 15 and Tackling 15.My DT when rolled had 21 Strength, 17 Agility and 12 Tackling for a +20.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=665247I have trained him the first two nights on Strength so that he can hit his 48 soft cap as a level 3 player.
21 + 0.37 + 0.37 + 0.66 + 0.66 + 15 still on hand from creation + 10 he will have from leveling twice = 48.06
He will now train Stamina on normal exclusively the rest of this season.
0.52 + 0.51 + 0.50 + 0.49 + 0.48 + 0.47 + 0.46 + 0.46 + 0.45 + 0.45 + 0.44 +0.43 + 0.43 + 0.42 equals the remaining fourteen days of this season where he can train = +6.51 Stamina.
So to sum it all up: End of season Jackson will be a level 4 DT. The 5 skill points he gets at level four are divided with 4 into Agility and 1 into Stamina. Here is how he will look as a level 4 without any equipment on:
Strength: 48.72
Agility: 22.32
Stamina: 17.11
Tackling: 13.32
In my opinion the above is one heck of a build for a level 4 DT.
Beyond that is season four where he begins to round out his skills more with improvements through training his tackling and placing his points up through level 8 at a ratio of 4:1 Agility and Stamina. I won't do all of the exact math but he should look something like this for a level 8 without equipment:
Strength: 51.36
Agility: 40.96
Stamina: 21.91
Tackling: 20.96
Now he finds a home on a human team, gets his level 8 equipment and I spend the flex to have him in full custom with a SA tree. Equiped level 8:
Strength: 65.36
Agility: 40.96
Stamina: 21.91
Tackling: 20.96
