RE: Legendary Strategy Item Fantasy Pack

Which would you choose, and why? 

-In the Trenches which is for DL at +2 impact blocking, +1 block shedding, +1 power moves, and +1 finesse moves. 

-Finesse which is for DL/OLB at +5 finesse moves. 

-Slot Specialist which is for WR/TE at +2 short route run and +3 release.

-Sprinter which is for WR/TE/HB/QB at +2 acceleration, +1 change of direction, +1 release, and +1 break sack.

Personally I'm thinking Sprinter because it covers the most offensive players, or Finesse because it covers the most defensive players.  Just don't know if any of these will actually help and/or be noticeable.  Thanks in advance!

i chose sprinter for the same reason but my 2nd choice would’ve been in the trenches cause i liked that it hit a few different attributes versus just finesse moves

Thanks.  It would have been super classy of EA to give you a choice of one offense and one defense though.

I went with sprinter, I think it has the best boost since acc is probably the most important stat that any of these items can boost.

Slot specialist is fine but most of the best cards already have decent route running and generally I don't have much trouble beating press even without boosting it.

Of the defensive ones, I like in the trenches more since every player on your dline benefits both in the run and the pass game. Finesse is fine but depends on who you have on the dline. If none of them use finesse moves, Finesse is pretty useless but could be decent if some of them do.

I ultimately went with Sprinter, only because there aren't really any decent options for offensive strategy items now that we're able to max out Throwing Power at 99.  I've continued using the "Hybrid" defensive strategy item, exactly for the reasons you stated -- i prefer to have the stat bonuses applied to as many players/cards as possible.  While +4 ZCV sounds cool and all, i haven't really noticed much of a difference now that everyone is at or near max 99 Zone coverage.  Plus, i've got bunches of Zone KO abilities, so the extra (+2 MCV) from Hybrid helps in scenarios where i often try to run actual hybrid Zone / Man on defense.  Often with Zone all around the outside then some Slot corners manned up to TE and/or Slot receiver(s).

I didn't feel strongly about any of them, even after mulling over this decision for a couple days prior to ultimately making the selection.

I think Sprinter honesty makes the most sense, especially with my epic strat, coach, and hybrid all centered around my D.  Thanks!

Yeah, with all my SB players, and boosts from epic strat, coach, and hybrid centered around my D, kind of a no brainer.  I like the idea of a little bit of boost here and there, but I'd love more 0 AP and LIU tokens. Ha!

I went with finess because I use mostly power rush archetypes as i have found double or nothing to be the most worth while pass rush ability, this helps make up for some players lack of finesse moves.

Sprinter is BIS but Im gonna stick to my purple Wrecking Ball because that makes my GOM Henry have 97 Trucking and 97 Break Tackle. Which is like a GT in January

I would go sprinter

I chose Sprinter and promptly sold it on the AH for $375K to someone that apparently had more MUT coins than sense.

Chose sprinter but sold it for 160k because I need the THP for Jordan Loves playoff item.

I haven’t redeemed a Strategy Pack since the start of Season 4, so I’ll be opening many two Fridays from now. My preferred strategy item from this pack will be either Sprinter or In the Trenches based on whether I first pull a Legendary offensive or defensive strategy item from the random packs.

If I know I’ll get stupid money for it, I’ll redeem and sell it now instead.

How many coins does it quick sell for just wondering.
