Abilities and Spreading Them Around

If you don't want to use multiple AP on one player, on offense, defense, and only use the 3AP allowed on special teams, what are the best 1AP ones to use?   I also only use 1XF per player per side, so what would be the best?  

If you're against the idea of spreading it around like that, which positions would be the most important on both sides and which are fine without any boosts?  FYI, I went months before I realized I could assign those or any of the card slots on the strategy page, so I'm slow I guess. 

Thanks and ✌️ out. 

A-a-ron

Offense it's mostly qb abilities like SFL, HRM, GS, or GW. Extra ap is often spent on jukebox or other route apprentice abilities if you don't use hrm.

Defense is mostly deep zone KOs, lurk artist on current gen, and possibly pick artist. Inside stuff and no outsiders can be helpful for stopping the run and are also good but not as good as the KOs. You really need to run multiple pass rushing abilities like DON and Edge threat to see a noticeable difference and that often isn't worth the ap in my opinion.
