Don't really know what to do next. These are my attributes without equipment. I 2nd capped strength/blocking/agility two levels ago and have been holding onto 10 SP to put toward my next task. Despite stamina/vision/confidence being 30ish, I haven't put a single SP into any of them (as far as I can remember), all SP has gone into 2nd capping the big 3. Right now I am just training speed/stamina on intense because it's the best combination with speed right now. But are there other things I should be doing before putting SP into speed, since there are no benefits to capping it sooner rather than later...?

Strength: 62.2 Blocking: 62.6
Speed: 16 Tackling: 21.51
Agility: 61.63 Throwing: 9
Jumping: 9 Catching: 8
Stamina: 31.1 Carrying: 8
Vision: 30.26 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 29.2 Punting: 8

I just recently realized that it might be good to cap vision ASAP and then just forget about it for the rest of my career. TBH I feel like vision is extremely underrated for LOTs. I'm almost convinced I should SECOND cap it, just because I'm going for a build that will completely shut down any and all speed DEs. 2nd capped strength/blocking/agility/vision with speed that will end up at about 50 sounds pretty good to me. When I do decide to break from my slow build and dump SP into speed when I'm ready to compete, I can move to stamina/confidence training I guess, and just train those out for the rest of my career, while I could put my SP toward SAs and third capping stuff like strength or blocking.

Sound like a good plan?
Yes, if you can make any sense of what I just wrote, this build will take a lot of time to pan out

I think spd/sta is a good choice and haven't found it absolutely necessary to cap speed, 45 has been enough even against 65+ speed ends. After spd/sta I would work vis/cnf, vision can help and confidence won't hurt, by then everything will be fairly high. I would definitely 3rd cap str and agi, but probably not blocking.

So to answer your question, I would train spd/sta for a long time while 3rd capping str/agi. Then get points in protector.

a shame your stamina is up so high already, unless there is a decent amount of equip there. Although speed gets no natural gains, thus stamina/vision/confidence would be more logical things to cap first (mathematically), if you're interested in playing well before level 35, I'd do speed.

After that, I'd do sta/vis/conf before taking agi and especially str to 68. MAYBE agility to 68, but str is useless.

There's +4 in stamina (2+2). I guess it just got up there from training/leveling, no SP in it. Same with vision/conf.

If you haven't upgraded your lvl 24 EQ yet sell it and get those points out of stamina. Mathmatically it's better to have all your EQ in one area. It needs to be STR or BLK , but definitely not stamina. At your lvl a stamina of 25 or so is adequate. I'd train SPD to 20 before spending SP on it, it's wasting SP if not. You get such a high % increase from training when your only at 14. AFter that train VIS/CON.

I would get STR & BLK to the 3rd soft cap first though. If you train SPD the whole time it will be in the 20s and then you can soft cap it, while training vis/con. One problem is if you train intense then SPD doesn't have a good second option for you. You can get a grease mokey script that will let you pick any 2 attributes to train. There's a link for it on the GLB Wiki. Then you could train SPD/VIS, while building STR & BLK.

The script doesn't do what you think it does, it only helps you find possible training combinations when you select an attribute you want to train on intense, just to make it easier so you don't have to search through the default unorganized list.
It won't let you train any combinations outside of what Bort already has it set up for. Training speed/stamina isn't so bad anyway, it basically keeps my stamina where it should be.

Still, most of what you wrote makes sense, I'm just unsure about 3rd capping both strength and blocking.

Unless your team does nothing but pass block, I'd 3-cap strength.

Bump, updated original post with concerns about vision.

first cap should be enough imo.
