I'm I headed down the right path? I want to be able to cover and be abel to make the tackle since I'm the last line of defense.

My equip. is all speed attribute except for one in agility. I have not upgraded my basic equip, should I invest the money in it or save?

Advance; upgraded it twice +2speed, 6% fumble chance.

Thoughts?

In order of important, completely my own opinion.

1)Speed is really important for a F.S. Agility is very important for tackling, shedding blocks, and cutting back and forth towards the ball carrier. You should try to work on those first.

2)Then Vision helps out in diagnosing whether or not it's a run or pass. Vision also helps you get picks, defections, and hone in on the ball carrier.

3)Strength and tackling to do something about it once you get there.

4)Jumping and catching to help you in pass defense.

you can switch 3 and 4 depending on how you want to take him. personally I am going with the INT route so I am getting my catching and jumping high first, then he will worry about str and tackling later.

Here is my own player you can use as a reference. it's not the best F.S. ever.

It also depends on how your d.c will use you. F.S.'s are one of the hardest positions to build imo. You have to be able to cover so much ground, you have to be able to get there fast enough. Then you have to have the str and tackling to make a difference.

Good luck I hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help. I really appreciate that. How do you feel about equipment? Do you upgrade your basic equipment or do you tend to save your money? Is my advance peice worth keeping?

I would wait until to hit around level 30 to roll for a better piece of AEQ. Although it doesn't guarantee that you'll get something good, it increases the odds (I guess, although not for me).

Yeah you always have to try to buy and upgrade all your basic equipment, as much as possible.

As far as A.E. goes, look for something really helpful to start. Maybe Like super vision. You can find that pretty easy, sometimes.

I found super vision for all 3 of my corners. One got it at level 16 or so. I am still looking for super vision for my Free Safety.
You kind of have to make sure you maximize what you find. Especially your first piece. You want to make sure it's exactly what you want because you would be upgrading it the most, before moving onto a second piece. I would say shop till you find a super vision piece, then start intense training to upgrade it.
Your dream piece would be +3 speed +1 super vision.
But if you find a piece like +2 tackling +1 super vision, or just +1 super vision, buy it, and don't worry too much about it. give it a full upgrade.

One piece of advice I can tell you for sure is not to invest in SAs quite so early.

I think FS is pretty straightforward to build. He's, as is freely acknowleged, the last line of defense in a wide open field against insanely fast WRs and RBs. It's simple. Speed.

Speed to 68.
Agility to 60.
Vision softcapped.

All doable by lvl 21. With CE, 90+ speed by lvl 24. I'd put equipment only in speed.

From there it depends on your focus. I'm big on getting Stamina to 40+ so the team can just carry one FS. But Str/Tkl is also a good focus point. I'm not sold on super high Vis myself.

Yeah your level 19 F.S. is rocking that casual BBB league.
