Strength: 63 Blocking: 19.4
Speed: 10 Tackling: 11.6
Agility: 44 Throwing: 8
Jumping: 10 Catching: 11.6
Stamina: 11.6 Carrying: 22
Vision: 11.6 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 11.6 Punting: 8

1-1-1-1-1 (custom EQ)
0-0-0-0-0

All points over soft cap from STR are from equipment. AGI is getting soft capped next level. Where to go from here? Vision? Speed? Stamina?

Blocking, Agility, Strength and Carrying get 0.5 points per level, so what I did for my latest FB (Intended purely as a blocker) was to softcap strength, blocking and agility straight away which I've done now at lvl 16. Could be done faster though, as he wasn't slow built and I did get some stamina too.

So what I'd do is softcap blocking. I'd also have put the equipment points (At least the +2 normal gear for a total of +8, as it's so cheap) into stamina, allowing you some more time on the field. Then when you have enough stamina to do without it, switch to strength or whatever else it is you want.

There are some tough choices early on though. No speed will make you rather useless at the moment, but so will no stamina. Likewise, the low blocking hurts your blocking. At the same time as blocking is the least urgent attribute in terms of usefulness (I mean at that level, high strength and 20 blocking is pretty decent), it's also the one which you'll benefit the most from softcapping ASAP.

Choices, choices.... mine would be, as I said, blocking.

Agree. But, if the HB you are blocking for is fast, you may need to push speed up just a bit...otherwise you can't stay ahead of him long enough to be of any value

Definitely need more speed and stamina.

do wind sprints for the rest of the season (speed/stamina), save those SPs, then redistribute evenly to both. i am doing that. You can wait on the carrying and tell your owner to not give you the ball too much so you don't fumble. Then when your carrying is at least 25...you can start to get more carries.

Another option is to buy custom gear and have +6 stamina. Then you can put 5 points into stamina for a level up and switch out the gear.

I would train stamina and speed to 20 each before you add the SP.

I have a similar FB build I am doing. Check my FB "Love Train" I have his attributes open.

P.S. I would train carring/confidence after you train speed/stamina to 20.

I'm slowbuilding a fullback, already have strength softcapped. I've been training pass blocking drills for AGI and BLK. Which spot should get the points poured into first for a blocking fullback?

Speed, is huge for my team. Im able to get to the out side fast enough to mow down the corner and often get to another player.

blocking if you can afford to be selfish. you can always use one piece of cheap eq as a speed boost instead of using it all in stamina.
