So.... need some position help :)

So, got a bit of a problem now.  Later in the week I will have quite literally the best offense I have had in any Madden game: I have 97 Julian Edelman, 96 Andre Reed, 98 Gronk, 97 Travis Kelce, and a 97 George Pickens coming later this week. All BND. And I want them all to see the field.

I was thinking of a potential move, but wanted some opinions on it first: Move Gronk to FB but keep at TE2 for Legends chems, move Travis Kelce to TE1. Then George Pickens, Julian Edelman, and Andre Reed at WR. Then trade in Larry Csonka for 97 Sam Adams to keep 40 legends chem.

What do y'all think?

I think what your planning will work out well especially if you run FB sets and have Vanguard on Gronk.

If you have the coins, I prefer Delanie Walker and even Owen Daniels over Travis Kelce.  Both those guys get Legends chems, and both of em can block.

I also play Delanie at FB a lot and he is a very good ball carrier.  

I would also rather have George Kittle over Kelce.

On the other hand, if budget is a concern, I think Kelce is very good as a receiving TE.  You can always put Gronk in that spot on running plays.  

I'm not sure if you know who Zan is, but he actually said on twitter today that in his opinion, Delanie is better than Gronk!  He said Gronk's player model is too big and clunky, and gets bumped and knocked over too often.

Really depends what abilities and playstyle you run.

I would recommend Gronk at TE1 with vanguard ability and  whatever you like (i have vanguard, SIE, DOE)

Csonka at FB with free HL - this is a no brainer for me if you have a top end legend squad.

If you are not pass only, I would get Delanie Walker (no abilities) as well, sub him into TE and Gronk onto WR for running outside, Pickens at the other WR spot, will give you three HL type guys plus delanie running around flattening guys in the open.

Run five wide. It's already been very strong this year. I was gonna do the same thing with 97 carmichael 97 julio 97 watson 97 unicorn and 98 gronk

What playbook? I've been running the Saints Gun Empty YSaint, which is essentially five wide but has the HB at WR.

Also, I do have to ensure that I can keep the 40 Legends chem, so need to figure that out.

Went ahead and tried what I had thought about in the OP, worked pretty well. Gronk still getting loads of pancakes, if not more lol.

Went 5-1 in All Star H2H, gonna play the playoffs tomorrow.

I'd recommend switching to a different playbook, to be honest. Empty Y Saint can be countered with zone coverage and decent usering. I use Alternate West Coast's Doubles North which has some amazing plays. Nowadays everyone's using Saints Playbook so it could be advantageous to switch it up a bit. If you do end up using Doubles North I'd recommend Slot Corner because it's easily adjustable depending on what your opponent is running. Take note that TE2 is the main receiver in this play. So, you could put Gronk at TE2 if you want. I wouldn't recommend switching to Adams because there are not a lot of good and cheap FBs in the game right now. If you need someone good at DT get mean joe.

If it fits your playstyle, i see no problem with that offense

I should have specified, I don’t have enough coins to by anything significant as far as legends pieces. The assumption is that the listed players are the only ones I can move around.   

My reasoning behind Gronk at FB is that Vanguard works to pancake all defensive positions, while HL only works on DBs.

I think I'm going to keep Gronk at FB and TE2 for run plays, but this formation intrigues me. How can you get this playbook? Is there a set or training pack for it? 

Also, how many WRs are on the field in the Doubles North formation?

I did switch to Adams because there's no need for both a 99 and 97 FB, with Deflator and DON. So far so good, he works well in a scheme at DT2 next to Gravedigger.

Edit: NVM I found it in the playbooks database. Still, can you get it with training or in a set?

It's only in the auction house. The training playbook pack is only for the 32 NFL teams.
