Universal coverage/Deon/Sherman

I have Universal on my CB's Deon and Sherman however this ability is on the stay away from list. Other options for them have Shutdown, Zone Hawk and bottleneck which aren't great on the reccomended list. Wondering if I should just not give an ability and use them for other position players? I also have Acrobat on Deon and Deep Zone KO with Sherm since he was getting Mossed on deep balls. Any thoughts

I never looked at that stuff before but now that you said it I checked it out.

Its interesting to see that the X factors are pretty low on the list for everyone and none of them are recommended.

The reason why they're that low is that they're basically hard to activate, they deactivate quickly, and they rarely make any impact. Passive abilities matter so much more since they're always on.

Because almost all X-Factors are 0 AP, you might as well use them if you have the Training to spend. The pros just don't prioritize these at all when building their teams. I do think the better ones should be at least Silver since they cost no AP.
