AP for which Positions ? Offense and Defense

now that the Ap has been decreased to 6. Which Positions do you feel need the Ap ? offense and defense, and are the 2 bucket 0ap players worth it even if it costs you your theme team chemistry ?

OL is all about 0 AP Edge Protector and 0 AP Secure Protector. 2 AP goes to Rodgers for his god stack of 4 abilities. With 4 AP to spare, your WRs can go with Short In, Short Out, Route Technician and/or Deep Out Elite. 

On defense, your DL is again all about 0 AP abilities. Your SubLb should have 0 AP Pick Artist of course. So with 6 AP to spend on your secondary, I'm going Pick Artist, Acrobat and Deep Route KO on my two outside CBs, FS and SS.

So AKA players on the line you wouldn't have or you wouldn't activate? I currently have Maniac and Maxx Crosby I'm using ap on them. on my corners I'm running PA only for 0ap same with safeties on sublbs I have enforcer on both

Honestly, that's all up to you. I've always built my Panthers TT to mimic the meta in terms of abilities, like what the top players in the MCS are doing. You could spend AP on RBs and crush players that don't know what they're doing. If you want to use AP on AKA players, by all means go for it. It's your team/decision

Personally, I can justify 1 ap on an x-factor for flash or gus. On defense, I think 1 ap for unstoppable force is doable but I wouldn't do multiple dline with that. Generally agree with the rest of what's been said though. Personally, I would sub acrobat for inside shade/ osa in man if the player gets a good discount.

I like big hitter trait corners cause for some reason they seem to tackle better.  i have blount in the slot and NTL and Rod Woodson on the outsides. I run zone most of the time and user my sublb

Your scheme should dictate how you use your ap.

For example, I sub a HB in at WR3 very often, to audible down,  so having anything but free ap on that player is a waste.

That choice allows me to have Threat Detector on an olinemen. Huge for seeing what my opponent is doing.

saying that, atleast 3 secure protectors are needed on the oline. Really only must currently. Man is kinda dead, having 1 0 ap short out hidden on the roster will help when you face that. Much more flexible on offense 

Defense is much more difficult. You have to make a sacrifice if you want flexibility. If you want to just come out in the same set up then that allows you wiggle room. I mix my scheme up so I want the KOs along with double AKA ends. I had to sacrifice PA on my outside corners and middle dropper in C2. Sucks but I know we’ll get multiple GTs that should allow freedom. I know i’ll need atleast 2 DBs that come.
