Because I'm so fucking awesome that I can't stop coming up with ideas to make GLB better, I decided that Bort should add an "athlete" position that should cost 200 flex and can play four other positions with a 5% penalty to each.

Offensive Athlete: can play HB, FB, WR, and TE at a 5% penalty.
Rushing SAs - Cover Up, Lower the Shoulder, Stiff Arm, Spin, Power Through.
Receiving SAs - Quick Cut, First Step, Sticky Hands, Head Fake, Juke.

Rushing Athlete:
5'10" - 6'2" , 180-220lb
Majors: Speed Agility Strength Carrying Confidence
Minors: Stamina Vision Blocking

Receiving Athlete:
5'10" - 6'2" , 180-220lb
Majors: Speed Agility Catching Jumping Vision
Minors: Stamina Carrying Blocking



Defensive Athlete: can play LB, CB, SS, and FS at a 5% penalty.
Tackling SAs - Wrap Up Tackle, Shed Block, Closing Speed, Big Hit, Monster Hit.
Coverage SAs - Change Direction, First Step, Swat Ball, Superior Vision, Shutdown Coverage.

Tackling Athlete:
5'10" - 6'2" , 180-220lb
Majors: Speed Strength Vision Tackling
Minors: Stamina Agility Confidence

Coverage Athlete:
5'10" - 6'2" , 180-220lb
Majors: Speed Agility Vision Jumping
Minors: Stamina Strength Tackling


The offensive athlete has to be .4 major or else it could end up better than WRs & TEs even with the 5% penalty, but the defensive athlete has to be .5 major to avoid being useless since every other defender is .5.

So... where does this dot play without penalty?

For ironman leagues perhaps. But Bort has said that's all but NGTH so meh.

This is the only explanation.

Intriguing, but I think they're too good of SA sets. All LB's, given their crappy SAs, might end up being Defensive Athletes instead for the better SAs.

The following changes to the SA trees weaken them. I want it to be clear that I realize that. It's actually the point. The idea is that the trees shouldn't be better than those that already exist. I did add a couple of "extra" SA's, because there's no reason not to:

Offensive Athlete: can play HB, FB, WR, and TE at a 5% penalty.
Rushing SAs - Cover Up, First Step, Lower the Shoulder, Stiff Arm, Spin.
Receiving SAs - Sticky Hands, Quick Cut, Jumping Catch, Catch Fake, Juke.

Defensive Athlete: can play LB, CB, SS, and FS at a 5% penalty.
Tackling SAs - Gang Tackle, Wrap Up Tackle, Big Hit, Diving Tackle, Closing Speed.
Coverage SAs - Change Direction, Zone Focus, Swat Ball, First Step, Shutdown Coverage.

EDIT: it's strange because despite my intentional nerfing of the OP's proposed SA trees, they're still far superior to what LBs have....
