It's my 1st HB and there are a number of different ways to go, which would be the most effective with my next 25 SPs (I should level twice and use my 3 Boosts before the season ends). I could take strength to 74 Cap, Speed to 61 cap, or pump power through. If you have any other suggestions let me know. Heres the build

I would go speed--I'm not a big fan of spending above 68 on strength (though some are) and it's too early for SAs.

Since your close, I would go ahead and get speed to double cap. After that, I would go with 3x cap agility.

what you do has all to do with how you want your back to turn out, as silly as that sounds.

if you take strength to the 74 cap and keep adding strength in equip, then you'll eventually have a power back with like 110 strength come level 48. not that its bad, but if you get speed to 68 quicker, then you'll have a back with 100 strength and maybe 75 speed rather than 110 and 65 speed.

my opinion is that at some point its just not worth it. i'd work on getting speed up, and maybe eventually you could spend SPs on strength later in his career. its high enough now that the natural level gains your getting on strength are also negated by the natural gains your getting in speed still at the 2-1 cap.

tl;dr - speed

my level 55 back only has 75 strength runs on -50 and breaks 10-20 tackles a game. speed is always on strength is not

more speed

How high should carrying get for a powerback? and when? His is only at 26.95 right now. Just an observation,or is it not as important as seasons past.

75 strength including equipment, or is that just 75 natural? If that is 75 total, then what do you think is causing you to break so many tackles?

once you hit 50 carrying you can get bruiser VA which is best one out there for a powerbacks

IMO Carrying needs to be at least>60.

75 strength with equipment. Good vas and sas as well as good speed. I also have a break tackle piece
