Theme teams debate

I don’t run themes anymore. A glitchy setup is more preferable. Some cards play above their overall/stats. It’s a fact.

Thinking bout a bills TT but dont know if its woth the money. Thoughts?

OLB and safeties are weak but seems decent other than that.

I mainly build a Packers TT for fun and play with occasionally. But be assured that players who actually played for GB at some point are on mine. I'm not a fan of universal chemistry.

I run a 50/50 Washington TT and I like it. Getting the multiple team diamond players (x3 chemistry) and the stocking stuffer player (x2) allows me enough slots to throw in some "mercenaries" that enhance my team. One thing I found to be a bonus, that I wasn't expecting is that I don't chase after all the newest cards that come out. I just go for select ones that would really help my team out, since I don't want to break the chemistry. Overall it makes it less stressful for me.

I use a titans because there my favorite team but  might change for better wr

I use fillers. it hurts to watch the Panthers Oline in real life kill their own QB  I don't need to relive it in madden

I’ve always just ran my favorite players that I’d be fairly certain would get 97-99 cards by end of year. Sean Taylor, Gronk, Moss, LaSainian Tomlinson, etc.

This year I started the same as the last 6 years and decided to switch it up and try a Chargers Theme Team. Man I’m glad I did. In 2 weeks time I’ve transformed my old team into a 93-93-95 Chargers Theme team with still some good upgrades needed. I’m having a blast even with backups being lower overall.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys prefer, a pure TT or mix things up with 'fillers'?

I usually go with fillers but I'm thinking about the pure theme team way, especially this late in the year.

I'm running a Lions TT btw. Your favorite team irl is always the right way to me.

Dolphins r my favorite team irl and I run there tt it's a 94 ovr 95 offense 95 defense for me I run fillers because if I can still have a good team with the tt I'm happy and it gives my players like Jaylen waddle 99 speed and I run fillers at QB and CB,SS,C,RG and I was running kelce at TE but now have mike giesicki

I'm Running Raiders TT my fav team

Tl;dr version: I really enjoy trying to run a theme team based exclusively on one franchise.

I run a  Seahawks tt, but I also grind out all the challenges. Helps me focus my time on challenges that reward seahawks players.  I have been excited by some available players. For FB I get to start Franco Harris, with Marshawn as my backup (no Mack Strong this year). For HB, I get Shaun Alexander, Adrian Peterson, and Ahman Green. The WR group is stacked (Lockett and Metcalf maxed out arent even in the top 6). Russell Wilson was pretty disappointing as a qb until the recent legend release. This year seems to allow a lot more flexibility in secondary chem positions, too. The RE position was stacked with Freeney, Dunlap, Clark, and Suh, but the LE, DT, LOLB, and ROLB were relatively weak, until recently. With the secondary chem, I could run Clowney and Clark at end, Suh and Woods at DT, throw Freeney and Clark at OLB, then put Wagner and bosworth at mlb. Talk about a fun front 7! Then I get to run Jamal Adams at SS, Quandre Diggs at FS, and put Kam Chancellor as my backup Safety and Nickelback, with secondary chems. CB position was pretty weak until recently so that was tough.

so personally, I run a vikings TT with fillers. I personally am a browns fan, but vikings is like my 2nd favorite team, and at the time I decided to do vikings instead of browns because it was better at the time. I feel like fillers make it less realistic, but makes the team better! It’s just personal preference.

50/50 Jags. No regrets. Don't spend too much coin and can fill in gaps with the ultra players

I don't have a favorite team so I try to run a different TT each year and then fill in with my favorite players regardless of team.
