Mostly agree, though I would swap linchpin for one of the route apprentice abilities

It doesn’t say it but linchpin is only for run blocking so you should run protected if you want better pass blocking

Luck (GS, SFL)

M faulk (JB, XFACTOR YAC)

Deion (Joystick)

Thats what im using and pass >75%. Throwing to faulk is glitchy with that xfactor and JB. Make one miss with JB then autobreak next tackle after catch. 

Could prob do without joystick on deion and use another 1 AP elsewhere but i run cowboys tt and thats what im using for now.

I guess I'm one of the few who believes in deep ball deadeye. 

Appreciate the tip on linchpin vs protected tho. Didn't know that

linchpin doesnt help with pass blocking

This is potentially solid advice, but i'm not sure Protected does anything at all, so as others have mentioned, it's typically best to use that last remaining AP on a Jukebox or Apprentice (RB, TE, Slot, etc) ability.  Everyone needs to be running Set Feet Lead on their QB.  You're gimping yourself without it.  And Gift Wrapped ensures your players actually catch the ball.  Gunslinger is nice, but we now have QBs in the game (such as Andrew Luck) that have wonderful Traditional 4 style release that is totally usable without Gunslinger.  So you can have 3AP total to invest elsewhere.

Setting your blocking scheme during pre-play adjustments, such as identifying the Mike blitzer, sliding right, etc. can seriously help buy you some time in the passing game.  Also, if you're not already running Sweet Feet and Country Strong as backups to further boost the O-line, that is something to consider.

I know it’s not a ability but use double me for x-factor

I like using in Spread offense mid out elite on my wideout. Verts with outside comeback is realy good and if i play against man press, after my WR beat the press i immediate throw free form high and ability is activated in this time. Im using it on AJ Brown in 25 Eagles TT, Hurts classic SFL,Slinger and wrap and Bijan with AKA Xfactor RB Apprentice

QB: perry or luck: Sfl and gift wrapped (Perry gets gunslinger for free so if u have coins get Perry)

RB: Anybody with 1ap RB apprentice (CMC, Dri, Faulk) or Derrick henry.

WR: Anybody with 1ap Slot apprentice (Rashee Rice, Cooper, etc.)+Fast guy(Deion, or DHB)

TE: 1ap TE apprentice guy ( I like Tony G)

OLine: Any free cards over 90ovr

facts

Matchup Nightmare is the best catching ability I've used all year. I've even gone without SFL just to have a couple on the field depending on what scheme I'm running at the time.
