Please be aware, that different managers do have different opinions on the priority and values.

I know managers who do not like to have as example OL player with less than 48+ as STR, while I settle with 45+.

Physicals are important on the game, but not the ultimate difference maker.
So from my view, don't dive too hard into this, it might just lead to frustration, since the market just don't have so many 50/50 guys you want on the team to have.


Yes, I was only asking to have it as some basic guideline when deciding where to put some players. Like when their SPE and STR are both pretty high, but one is a bit higher... Just a little helper, or dealbreaker when its hard to decide

so my other DE has much better skills and is better against stronger opponents.


I wolud really like if you could tell us what does part "better against stronger opponents" means?


I am referring to all actions. So how many tackles he has, the success rate of the tackles, the number of TfLs, in contrast to the other DE.
But you also have to note that the skills of my DEs are quite different.

Take a look in Elite statistical leaders just for league games and tell me when you find a DL on sack list? 😉

Tip: both sacks came against team soon to be a bot

To be clear, I like my DL to be fast, but they MUST be strong at least 49.


I understand what you mean, but I just work with the resources I have available. I would also be happy if he had a higher strength, but he doesn't. And I'm just testing him out, maybe in a few seasons I'll say the player is just garbage. But at the moment I'm very happy with him, and as long as I don't have any better players for the position, he's a starter for me. Last season he was the number 1 in sacks for my team and even though the LBs make the most sacks on all other teams (even in the Thunder league), it's a different story on my team, where my DLs make the most sacks. I may have the worst LBs in the game in that regard, but I can only speak from my experience, and I'm happy with my DE.

In my view, this is one of the beauties of RZA: gradually building the roster step-by-step. We have an idea of the players we'd like to have, and can then create a strategy to get there. And while we implement the strategy, having to choose what position to place our current players with the best physicals, plotting the next priorities, developing good youth players to take over from the old guys.

Hello again!

I would like to continue a bit in this topic...

I would like to ask for few more tips. There are some positions that divide into more in the depth chart. OL, DL, SF... So I would like to ask if there are some differences between those? How to decide, which player to put where?

It was mentioned even here before that for example DE might need more SPE. Makes sense, he needs to run longer distance than players in the center. I guess something similar might be for OL? I know SPE is not the most important skill for OL, but maybe the faster OL should be on the edges? Or are some positions more crucial than others? For example, maybe the best OL should play as Center, and the worst on the side?

And what about Safeties? Is there a difference in requirements between FS and SS?

Thanks

Hi Ethaziel,

Personally I put the fastest OL and DL at the ends and the slowest in the middle. I make SS the strongest. It may or may not make a difference, but I do it because it makes sense to me.

I do weight all players according to Jack6's ABC position skills, though what values you use as the ABC weightings is of course up to you. Using that approach in the first weeks, I did find that I could balance the team a fraction better overall than the auto-sort, which made me happy
