Str useful in both rushing and blocking so its probably a good area to start.

Im also gonna slowbuild a FB, mine is going to be runblocking.

What do you think of:

Speed 2nd cap
Vision 1st cap
Agility 1st cap
Speed 3rd cap
Vision 2nd cap
Agility 2nd cap

While training Strength/Blocking

If you're slowbuilding, don't cap speed early. It gets no natural level gains, so capping it early is about as useful as capping lead block early.

And Agi is more useful than speed on a FB anyway you dont need top speed as much as you need acceleration if your going to be lead blocking. Not saying to neglect speed either tho.

yeah, and you'd be surprised how agility, even without speed, can help get you at least to your first block while you're slowbuilding.

AGI
STR
SPD

then, whatever you like I like str and agility to 2nd cap, blocking to 1st. I don't know that a FB needs capped vision right away

+1, its working great for me. Its the best build advice for a FB. I had 119 pancakes in my season on BBB doing this SAME THING...and my FB SPLIT time. The other FB was built the same way and had 110 panckakes.

YOu need to keep that strength high though. i wish i didn't have that +4 speed gear for my FB. Its in my SA gear 9first step) and if you knew how long it tpook me to roll first step...you would not break it down either.

Expect that to take 3 seasons to get done. Level 29 thereabout with boosting.

This is true, i just wanted speed because some of our backs have crazy first step. Also, it helps if your team runs the FB flare and FB texas. Agility helps you reach max speed faster, and that helps with pancakes (hit defender at max speed = mire force)

The above advice is proven and will not dissapoint you.
