I bought Jamal, used him, sold him bought Lynch and can’t decide which one was better

I haven't used Lynch, but he's quite possibly one of the better HBs in the entire game. I moved on from Jamaal Charles, using Shaun Alexander at the moment, but overpaying for his ability stack, something liek 4-5AP and reconfigured my squad to have 25/50 Seahawks in order to get him to max 99 SPD (also Legion of Boom, using OBJ et al).
IMO, Shaun is nearly as shifty a runner as Jamaal Charles, but way more physical. Jamaal just moves so well on the field, but the taller RBs tend to get better juke animations, longer legs or something. For the time being, i prefer having both Truzz and built on Angry Runs, along with Tank and Jukebox, of course, hence Shaun. We have so much AP now, it hardly matters to waste a bunch on a single player.
I am sticking with JC for the 0 AP omegastack, adding on FT XF for some additional juice. I’ve tried Payton and Shaun but sold back as I played just as well with JC, no fumble issues at all either.
Was using Lynch at HB1 and Powerback and Charles at 3rd Down Back it was a decent setup but too much coins invested to that setup so I sold lynch and bought Perry. Charles HB1 and 3rd Down Back And William Perry Power back.

Nah, but close. I think I said "nearly as shifty" Jamaal quite possibly the best pure runner I've used all year, sadly FOF not that great. Poor phrasing, my bad.
Curious how that new Thurman Thomas plays, but not enough to build his set. Content with Shaun. Although Truzz might be a bit overrated. Needed help against Avalanche, so pairing Truzz with Tank.

I'd love to hear how Thurman plays. Didn't notice he does NOT seem to get any Angry Runs (or Freight Train), but those abilities are significantly less impactful these days, when basically everyone is equipped with Tackle Supreme or Secure Tackler. Regardless, Thurman might be one of the best pure receiving backs in the entire game... and it's passing league, after all. Both IRL and in-game.
The dual 49ers/Seahawks hybrid TT feels a touch sacrilegious, but it makes sense for the moment and Shaun at max 99 SPD has been really fun to use. Best of both worlds, a bit of a hybrid/combo between Brandon Jacobs physical running style and Jamaal Charles' finesse. Although, i'm embarrassed to admit I managed to get CPU stripped by Aaron Donald when i was testing him out in a Solo Battle game -- so Truzz might be overrated and a waste of 1AP. Obviously a no-brainer on Thurman, but something to keep in mind if you make the switch.
