Seeking Help with Optimal Player Upgrades / Lineup Upgrade Meta

Posts: 25 |

Sorry if this is a dumb question - I haven’t played Madden Ultimate Team in years. I’ve been grinding MUT for ~3 weeks or so, and I’ve reached the point where I have finally completed every available Challenge (including every available Star), and I’m beginning to micro-adjust my lineup. What I’m struggling with is deciphering what the optimal Upgrades for each Player in my Lineup are? Is there a Meta for each position? Current example(s) below.

QB:

Josh Allen - 94 OVR - Playoffs Set Unstoppable

Gunslinger - 0AP - Unstoppable once activated! Grants faster passing speed.

Dashing Deadeye - 2AP - Perfect Pass Accuracy on the run up to 40 yds.

HB:

Isaiah Pacheco - 94 OVR - Playoffs Set

First One Free - 0AP - High fakeout rate on next juke, spin or hurdle.

Matchup Nightmare - 2AP - Better Route Running & Catching vs LBs

Next, once I learn & assign the aforementioned upgrades, I need help understanding what my respective Lineups should look like in terms of balance. (i.e. 3 Positions, 4AP ea.,)

My goal is to gain a thorough understanding of optimal Positions to Upgrade, Individual Player Upgrades, & Offense/Defense Lineup AP Balancing. Thanks in advance if you take the time to read this far!

I am just going to give you the optimum AP and stack at each position(meta) and the best player

QB Bo Jackson,

Truzz (combine) X-factor, cant fumble

SFL(Set Feet Lead)- the ball is quicker in the air

Gunslinger- quicker release

HRM(Hot Route Master)

Gift-wrapped, helps players catch easy dropped balls

6 AP

RB, Bo Jackson

X factor Angry Runs(combine)- higher chance to break a tackle

Evasive- better spins and juking

0 ap

WRS, any ability that is discounted or free,(don't put 4 or 3 AP route tech on someone)

TEs,

X factor Vanguard if you are big on running(makes your TE insta pancake them)

O-line, any free ability

D-line in general, any Unstopable pre lit X-factor like Sapp LIU or Karlaftus

Inside Stuff- Insta sheds on inside zones

DE/OLB(pass rushers)

No outsiders- for outside runs

DBs, pick artists and KOs

FS/SS, Pick artist, and Deep Zone KO or any type of KO

MLB/user

X-Factor Avalanche

Lurk Artist(Needed)

I run my offense with most of my AP on my QB, and spreading out the rest on O-line, receivers, and RB, and on Defense, I try to spread AP out, like don't put 5 AP on a user, you would be better of spreading it around and making your whole defense better, KOs are very OP, if you can get most DBs on your team to have a KO you would be set, I've played good teams with KOs and i just cant complete a pass

Sorry for giving an Essay, but hope this helps
