Currently Running Simpson and All pro Fred... looking to upgrade... Whos goat on the inside.

There's a BUNCH of new, truly elite cards available -- if you just need something quick, don't snooze on the new Wild Man, his 88 OVR (budget version) still has 90 COD, which makes him feel ridiculously smooth when roaming around the field. It's potentially a skill issue (or lack thereof) on my part, but i'm constantly zooming all over the field and don't rely on the Switch Stick as much as i probably should, so i may value Change of Direction a bit too much.

Same as you, i'd been using big Fred Warner on 49ers theme team since i managed to pull his 85 BND from one of those daily 79+ pack offers. However, he's no longer elite, there's other options with 85+ ZCV and high physical stats. In no particular order, some to consider:

Wild Man - Ray Nitschke (MLB), also LTD available, but hardly worth the cost, IMO as he doesn't get any special abilities
Troy Anderson (MLB)
FREE Kyle Hamilton (SS) -- requires some upgrades, will become more attractive very soon, but he's tall, fast (assuming you get him to 88+)
Jerome Baker (MLB)

Any particular theme teams or any other specific requirements you have that might help tip the scales and inform your choices here? If you need a SUBLB2, i think the best in the game is Ivan Pace Jr. especially if you run a lot of Double Mug (Mid Blitz 0, etc.) he's tiny and can fit through those small spaces, primarily as an A-gap blitzer. I've been running split 49ers/Fins hybrid TTs, the ones listed above are who i've been leaning on heavily in the past week, or two.
