Too Many good SS Options (Who goes where)

99 Pola-Moa, 98 Woodson (BND), 98 Neal, 98 Derwin, 97 Hit Man (45/50 Vikes TT) 

Current set up - Eric Berry at FS - he has balled out. 

Woodson at SS with Deep Out, PA, Acro - 2 AP

Neal at SUBL1 - PA, Acro, Crusher - 1 AP

Derwin at SUBL2 - PA - 0 AP

Hit Man PA- 0 AP..  2nd SS for Big Nickel. I actually move him into the box with Fred Warner and put neal at SS2 (Derwin is off the field with his 65 Blockshed)

Derwin has been unreal at SUB2 and I have found myself usering him a lot over neal which I shouldn't because of Neals Balanced ball trait and Neal has 91 PRC to Derwins 95. When you beak down most qualities with traits and catching numbers like spec catch, and CIT, Derwin is the looser. Woodson has crazy catching numbers, blockshed and has acro. Neal has the 3 abilities for 1 AP and Acro is one of them, Pola-Moa is 6'4 and has End Game numbers. 

NEW Set up Ideas - Share your thoughs about what you are doing.

Pola-Mao Up top - 6'4, 99 Speed, ACC, Agility, COD, Man, Zone and very Important Play Rec. Catching Numbers are Good but not Woodson. Pola is the best user but really shouldn't be usered in my opinion as his Play rec stands out above the rest. Pola has 85 BKS compared to Woodson 95 so not as great in the box or a low SS in my 4-6 PB. 

So Pola at SS, Neal at SUB1 and mostly usered, Woodson at Sub 2 taking Derwins spot - ONE inch shorter but catching numbers and BKS are way higher along with ACRO. 

Am I wrong to say Derwin is out? Do I replace Eric Berry at FS with Woodson and put Pola at SS ? Or Pola at FS and Woodson stays at SS, Derwin stays..

Too much of a good thing lol. 

Im going to use Palo Mao as user to keep my L TT. Much easier to manage.

In your case, put Palo and Derwin up top and then woodson user IMO

Why not run 5 safteis lol

im running big nickel cover two

berry and derwin deep with deep zone ko/PA 1 ap each

hit man avalanche for kickoff and mid zone ko, he’s the left hook zone

 neal is my user sub lb 1

pola mao is sub 2 with deep in zone which I end up putting in a middle deep zone but still showing a cover 2 look 

the  Woolen and Ramsey at cb with flat kos

kust give me more safeties !

so ryan and pola-mao at sub lb

bates/derwin/berry up top

byard and woodson at cb

imo best setup

Side question - where do you put these cards in the lineup to get the players to play in each of these spots?  Or are people manually adjusting the rosters in game?

I hear ya for sure.. I like playing Big Nickel a lot, it does however Auto switch more and I do like to control where all of my KOs are.. I may re think my KOs. I am Running Deion, Slay and Woolen CB with Kos for their postions as Nickel is my normal defense.

Maybe just do what you feel/plays best. Sometimes we get too many good cards and cant use them all. Could also move them to CB

How is bates, I was close to getting him until they announced pola mao

I've heard of this for sure. The all safety lineup with the Play Rec Strat.. I'll think of that as well. Thanks for that input, now I have more options.

I switch it up so much searching for what I feel plays best. Most of the time I am trying to scheme my team or build it more than I play. The game gets stale to me when my lineup is the same for more than 5 days lol. All of these safeties are messing with me. I think I will move one to CB and see what happens. I run 4-6 Speed package and wouldnt hurt to have another safety in the 4th CB spot.
