Your agility isn't third capped, confidence is 29, tackling below first soft cap, jumping at 36, strength at 30...and you're running out of ideas? Lots of viable options for you right in that list tbh.

Well, I think the question is which first. And I'm not convinced that having AGI, VIS and SPD all at the roughly the same place is the best way to go.

tackle to 1st cap
agility to 3rd cap
train confidence
superior vision up 1?


looks solid though


How did you get closing speed to 4 without adding to those other SAs? AE?

AE indeed. Spent the whole of two offseasons ago looking for it. Thanks for the input, and I'm definitely planning on training confidence this season. I was wondering whether I should save some points to drop into confidence at the end of the season? Nah, I think I'll just train it all season and add the points next season.

i would go stamina, it will help you play a peak performance far into the game. Jumping also "jumps" out a me... I would think a d-back would have at least soft capped it by now

I realize I'm totally in the minority on this, bu I'm of the belief that catching is more important for PD's/Ints. So I've been trying to raise the two roughly equally. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

yes but jumping helps with tackling, pd's and ints, catching only influences the radius of your hands and the probability to make contact with the ball

Good point about jumping factoring into diving tackles.

I'd softcap tackling and jumping

Whatever you do, softcap Stamina and Tackling since it will cost 4 or 5 SP total.

Probably right, but my auto level gains are so minimal at this point, I'm not really gaining by it.

Yeah, lets assume you'll level say 15 ( boost + 3 natural levels) more times if you play until season 12. That's still about 3 double SP points you'll get in both. A new gain of about 6 SP. Plus more stamina will help your performance.

I hadn't realized STA and TKL are both major skills, so that does weigh in favor of capping them. It's not clear exactly how many seasons of boosting I have left (2 or 3). If I gain 10 levels, it'll be 1.7 points in each, which works out to 6.8 SP saved. If it's 15
levels, I'll gain 10.2 SP. So, yeah it looks like your right- I'll go do that now.

I would work on jumping--maybe cap tackling while training jumping/strength or jumping/catching.
