Theme teams debate

I run a full cowboys TT. I have a few fillers on defense but could really use some oline upgrades now lol. (Tyron, Biadasz)

i gotta pure browns tt except for mays starting at fs but as soon as we get a delpit/jj3 upgrade he gone and it’ll be all browns

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys prefer, a pure TT or mix things up with 'fillers'?

I usually go with fillers but I'm thinking about the pure theme team way, especially this late in the year.

I'm running a Lions TT btw. Your favorite team irl is always the right way to me.

Oh I say if u run a tt, you should go all the way. However i feel if you're team is lacking a position, say raiders with 82 Kolton Miller, then it's fine for fillers. But if you're using fillers for the best players in the game (like using Henry over Cunningham on a vikings tt), then you might as well not use a theme team. That's just me though.

i run a full JETS team only with players that has played for the team. no masters or players like jordan whitehead or emmanuel sanders that can get chem.

I would love to run 50/50 lions but the number of fillers I would need would defeat the whole purpose of the +2 stats bc all my skill position players wouldn't be from the lions. The only skill players would be Megatron, Diggs, and Oruwariye. So I run a 25/25 Lions and Cowboys which I am going to convert into 50/50 Cowboys until Lions are more balanced.

My goal is the hit 50/50 while having the best possible players in.  I ran a Ravens TT and was at 40/50 for a long time while I waiting for good players to come out.  When Past Deion, Hester and Humps came out of was so happy.  I take full advantage of the +3's from Ngata, my captain and Suugs so I can have dudes like Henry at QB, and most of the Oline are just the best linemen across Mut.

“Until the Lions are more balanced”

Might not happen in our lifetime bud. ☺️

I respectfully disagree :)

My favorite NFL team is New England Patriots, but I've never ran a Patriots TT in Madden. Mostly because Tom is not my type of QB - I like to scramble a lot; and also I didn't want to embarrass this legendary franchise with my poor playing, but turns out they can do it just fine on their own.

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys prefer, a pure TT or mix things up with 'fillers'?

I prefer a mix with fillers - "mercenaries" as I call them. I try to keep theme teamers at key positions if they're decent enough, but I don't mind replacing them with significantly better mercs. Like if I packed Jeremy Chinn he would replace my Juan Thornhill (Chiefs TT) in an instant.

I know a guy who is a die hard Vikings fan, and he runs a Vikes TT every year. Pure Vikings team - if their best RG is 79 overall in March - so be it. But at the same time he has no problem in using mercs with Viking chems: captains, level masters, free agents, team diamond masters etc., even though they've never played for the team irl.

Bro just don't use Tom brady... My pats TT is OP you can have like 12 starters from other teams and still be 50/50

25 Cowboys 25 9ers is good

I run 25/25 seahawks and 25/25 vikings

i run 30/50 panthers TT not bad i focus on run game mostly with cam and CMC

CHIEFS for life I get clowned for losing to bengals but i think that is motivation. You have to run your favorite team for theme it just makes sense

Only last year did I start MUT and I have never ran a TT but I think i'm gonna start running a 50/50 vikings TT

Yep - raiders theme team for me for 3 years straight now, only thing that brings me back to the game honestly

Same here. My entire offense is built around Bo and his maximum dominance.
