Lineup Suggestions

What kind of tips are you looking for?

What players to buy and good sets to complete I suppose

If you're going for full legends, definitely think about what ULs you want to target.  Build them on Saturday when packs are being ripped to get them at their cheapest.  Slowly build a UL and then sell the player you are replacing them with to recoup some of the cost.  I averaged around 625K building each UL last week, I expect them to be around the same or cheaper tomorrow and if you have a player that can get you back 2-300K after, that's not a bad upgrade cost because a lot of the ULs have great ability discounts and stats.

I'm looking at either a dt or rt right now but the players I'm going to replace for them are non-auctionable. I'm kinda looking for a set where I turn in 5 and get back 5.

Unfortunately there isn't a set that gives back 5 legends, but if you're ok with non legends as your BNDs, you can target Super Bowl Hype Train Darnell Dockett but the BNDs wouldn't help your team much. 

There is also no recent RT set that gives back BNDs.

If the DT and RT you are targeting can be non legends, that opens up your choices more.

For DT you can target GG2 Al Woods, alternatively, if you can still earn another GG2 Origin player in your Field Pass or House Rules, you can select 95 Kenny Clark and not have to pay for a DT at all.

If you go with GG2 I would select the following back as BND, 94 CB Roby, 94 TE Thomas, 94 C Andrews since each of these would upgrade positions for you slightly and you still have your pick of 2 more from the 94s.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing those super bowl sets too. However, I kind of want to wait until there is a set that returns players with legends chemistry to really make use of my coins. By the way, can I ask you a question? Do you think prices are going to drop when season 4 releases? I'm thinking of selling Cromartie and shields.

I could put a non-legend on DT because I already have three legends chemistries in that position. However, I'm only like 28/40 legends chemistry with Cromartie and Shields. So, I'm not sure I can sacrifice a spot on my lineup where I could instead put a player with a legend chem.

I don't see them coming out with a set that returns legends, our best hope is if they come out with a CH3 promo or possibly Backyard Ballers.  But with what is coming up, it isn't likely we will see that many legends other than with UL and Team Diamonds 2 and those don't return BND players.

Combine should be next week and then we have a Free Agents promos and Easter but it's not likely the set cards will be legends, maybe some masters but not BND returns unfortunately so I wouldn't bother trying to wait for something that probably isn't coming.

As for prices dropping, with each season comes improved odds and that naturally drops the market, as does TVP leaving, but as we've seen, EA has chosen to control the market by bringing TVP back on a whim so your best bet is to quickly buy when TVP is gone knowing it could be back the next day and raise prices again.  If those players aren't a necessity to you, definitely sell now, they aren't going up at this point since alternatives are readily available.
