With natural attributes at 77 agility, 85 strength, 75 speed and 77 Carry, what's the consensus on best equipment build. Go with Power Thru AE (10 with stats/AE) or switch to Spin AE (8 with stats/AE)? Power archetype so penalty to Spin.

I can run him at
a) 102 Speed/101 Strength/82 Agility for Power Thru (10)

or

b) 112 Speed/92 Strength/82 Agility with Spin (8) with Power Thru remaining at 4

for that matter I could also +/- Speed/Strength by 6 if I swap out CE for speed/Elusive Tree stuff so 118 Speed/86 Strength with that last one

Looks like ya have the build/equipment making him very versatile! The math says go +12 (8 spin, 4 Power Thru). Most SAs for yer buck.
Ultimately tho, it all comes down to yer role for the team. If yer the 3rd/4th down and short yardage /goalline guy, then "Power Thru" is the way to go.
This question is best asked to your OC.

Spin is for a super elusive HB

If you are a power back then stick with Power Thru

OK follow up on this then....would a 3rd piece of break tackle EQ and sticking with Power Thru be preferred over Spin?

40+% Break Tackle and 6-7 Power Thru or 34% Break Tackle, 8 Spin and 4 Power Thru

He's primarily utilized as the more inside runner but his build was made to allow versatility

The nerfing of stacking equipment probly makes a third pc of Break Tackle not a great value.
When I start my third pc, I'll probly go with "not fumble", or "first step".
I'm sure you've got "Surge" SA. If not that's best.
I'm looking forward to seeing first step, then Surge firing. With high STR/CAR, he'll run like a ball of butcherknives!

but did they have the same amount on the tree for the setting? and ur mainly a power back so i would have to say powerthrough first before spin especially because of the negative hit it takes

OK just to update I settled on the Spin piece rather than the Power Thru. Bought rental EQ (100 per season not a bad investment) with Speed/Elusive Tree.

Current settings:
119 Speed
85 Strength
80 Agility
83 Carry
7 Spin (8 in a few days with AE upgrade with BTs)
4 Power Thru
34.5% break tackle (plus the Bruiser/SYM maxed and building QF now that I've got Spin)

He has standard EQ/CE that he can go 104 Speed/100 Strength/6 Spin/5 Power Thru if needed for a particular gameplan.

His Spin (at 7) has kicked in more in the past 2 games (per carry) than I had seen Power Thru trigger at 11 despite playing against better defenses than he's ever seen before in previous seasons. He's level 66 so have 30 more SPs to distribute over next couple of seasons so we'll see what happens.

i would get my str in the 90's and with the indorse with your super eq u could add like 4 more points in ever super eq u got when u do that put it in to speed it should take u some were in the 120's then he would be a killer ,that wat i did to my guy and he doin pretty good in the EEPL
