I'd try and find some PFs. It seems like not too many people post here.

Whatever you do, don't build a comboback, I built one ages ago and he was garbage. Good for the first few years and then he just sucked. Pick either elusive or power and just stick with it. But it seems your stats are already too far ahead to pick one as his stats scream combo.

Sadly your OC clearly didn't know how to use your guy.

What's the best way for combo backs to be used?

In a variety of ways. Thats the point, its easy for a DC to spot an Elusive or Power back and tag them accordingly. If the Power back is in you stack the box, if the Elusive is in, you bring your safeties in on the flats.

You can use a Combo for every type of play as they'll have enough Speed and Strength to be productive on; inside runs, outside runs, pitches, screens etc. Combos are hard to gameplan against and can therefore expose a defense with greater ease than a traditional Power or Elusive guy.

+1.

I converted my elusive back to a combo back his last 2 seasons and he performed great in WEPL better than he ever did as an elusive back.

Surge IMO since FS has a penalty for Power Backs.
