Im the owner of a SS, CB and P

never knew much about FBs
I eventually want to be a bruising carrying FB

Strength: 17 Blocking: 13.39
Speed: 12 Tackling: 10
Agility: 14 Throwing: 10
Jumping: 9 Catching: 10
Stamina: 20 Carrying: 14
Vision: 15 Kicking: 10
Confidence: 10 Punting: 10

yes I know level 1 is bad, but I need to know how to build him right from the start instead of crap foudnation!
Any help is much appreciated!

Do not add any SA's until at least level 8. Strength is most important. Stamina is not as important since there are several formations (ie. shotgun) that do not use a FB so they get decent rest during the game.

Don't waste any points in catching in the beginning as passing to FB is elementary at best at the moment.

For a rusher, start by concentrating on strength, agility and vision. Don't slack too much on carrying and blocking as they are important as well. Train in speed.

you tell him not to concentrate on blocking yet a fb blocks blitzers and lb/dbs when blocking for his rusher

Strength will make him a good blocker at lower levels, but he will need blocking eventually. Notice I said "start by concentrating". There's no doubt it will be needed eventually, but he said he wanted a rusher so that is my opinion on it.

I wouldn't touch his vision again, EVAH.

This is just an OPINION.....no need to freak out fellas.

I would train his speed up to at least 15 before adding skill points to it. Put your skill points elsewhere.

he's only a lvl 6 but he'll level up either tonight or after tomorrows game (985/1000 now)

I'm thinking of the 3 pts in strength and 2 in blocking
I'm training speed now at .41, so that'll be about 15-16 by lvl 8

If you plan on staying on the same team.....don't the RB's run right over him?
