AKA Token Set-Hot Takes

In the very first write-up for the AKA program it was written that this token set would be a “choose 1 of 3” full AKA player.

Hopefully we get a fantasy pack with all of them since the wording on the actual set says choose ”ANY” AKA player but it’s EA.

Either way here’s my take on how to handle this set if we get to pick “ANY” AKA player:

-Don’t rush to pick your player tomorrow. We are getting All Madden 3 on Thursday and who knows what players they will drop (maybe Sean Taylor as some have mentioned). You may be thinking “I won’t be able to afford the All Madden 3 players”, while this may be true it will likely make some other great cards drop in price that you can afford.

-Choose the card that you think will be useable the longest. These are going to be BND so you’re either stuck with them or you can quicksell them for next to nothing. Sometimes the card that  looks the best right now can be outdated fairly quick (WR’s, HB’s, etc.).

-Keep in mind the discounted abilities that fit with your scheme/lineup.

-I imagine a lot of these guys get newer cards at some point making their lower cards super cheap.

I’m kinda bummed the AKA program is ending. I loved the idea and really enjoyed the program (mostly the card art and nicknames on the jerseys).

Cheers to a free player!

I'm just waiting for a market crash in AKA cards. I predict that being able to choose a free player will drastically lower the prices of AKAs, similar to the Ultimate Legends cards last year (those were auctionable but it should still have a similar effect).

slay is the obvious choice imo

but ofc waiting for reveal tonight

Same, I just hope they don’t bug his coding knowing that everyone is going to choose him. Also, I feel like the other one is likely      ”Broadway Joe” and I would think if it is then we will be getting another top tier QB very soon.

I was able to pick up Kyle Hamilton who is like 95% of Dawkins, who I was going to select for my AKA pick. 
 

ill probably look at Slay or whoever the offensive player is tonight.

is it sellable?

Weapon X has been amazing but I feel like we’re going to have so many options there soon and a lot of them will be taller.

Slay looks great but I want to see how he does in games before I decide for sure.

Thats pretty much my problem. Weapon X is going to be great for my update but I do have spots where I could put Hamilton or Minkah or whatever. 

If they go down even more, I could easily replace them and get slay there and still be over 40/40

If none of them appeal to you, but you are already using one, then take that one to replace the one you have, and sell the one you already have. I have a Packers TT, so I use the Reggie White card. I can select him and then sell the card I have. Then you at least can get some coins out of the deal. That's only if there are no other cards you'd want.

Yes it’s hard to choose, I would definitely take Weapon X on Legends TT over Kyle Ham and Minkah but when Sean T drops I’m not sure if I am going to have a place for Dawkins. Darren Woodson is very similar to Dawkins but a lot faster and I think slightly taller.

I understand that Reggie fits your TT but why not take a better card that can help out somewhere else on your team instead of selling Reggie for maybe 60k? Also I would think Reggie gets an upgrade at some point sooner than later.
