Both have great blocker and pass blocker to 15.

What VA should I put points into next?

motivational speaker and second win.

I put 5 into Second Wind, which gives me +10 energy at 4th quarter. it works well, but i think if an entire team did it you would see great results.

I also have some points in Showboat Blocker, but it doesn't look like your guys are racking up pancakes this season so I would avoid that one until you're pancaking more

Good Q. I'd like to know the answer too.

For my LG I have them spread around in Clutch, GL Blocker, Motiv. Speaker (2) and Hometown Hero. Might put a few it Showboat Blocker also.

This feels wrong though, maybe I should have just gone for the +0.3% Str one.

I took my LOT to Goal Line Blocker next along with 1 point in Motivational Speaker. I never see any benifit with 2nd wind for an OL player. Of course I have had stamina at the soft cap for a while now.

Motivational Speaker is only activated when you're on the bench, so it only makes sense for only the K and P who are on the bench most plays. Since only one player can be activated at a time, it is better to have K and/or P at 15, rather than 1 or 2 points scattered throughout the team.

Don't forget Clutch and Red Zone Freak, both general VAs that can help Oline help keep drives alive and finish them off (along with Goal Line Blocker).

red zone freak doesn't sound good to me for LOT - you should be running a lot here not needing the LOT much.

+0.3% strength is fine for a starter who didn't have the benefits of slowbuilding and really needs that strength boost!

showboat blocker is only good if you get pancakes against playoff calibur teams because if you can't pancake in the playoffs, you wasted all of those VAs in your quest for a championship.

motivational speaker only for players who are backup + special teams players.

the +confidence in the playoff one could be nice for a LOT if your league is full of great DEs ( though those don't really exist the last few seasons )

second wind isn't necessary for a very high level player, as you should have capped stamina. but if you're a lower level and want to skip the stamina cap, this could be nice, especially on a pass heavy team where you might be called upon to make some great plays late in the game

clutch I don't really know how well it works for offensive line, what is a "clutch play"? The description doesn't talk about boosting your stats, but "making plays" - sounds to me like catching/PD, tackle/break tackle, etc., MAYBE block/break block would be in there but I dunno.

goal line blocker is great for a ROT and RG or even C if you pound the ball a lot - BUT if you've never had a problem all season on the goalline, why use it? Go look at your play by play - if youv'e never been stood up at the goalline, I see no reason to use this VA.

hometown hero, sure maybe if you're going to host a lot of playoff games in a tough conference, but I don't like stuff that wont help in the playoffs

Okay, there is a lot of thoughts, hopefully you can pick out what applies best to your player, at least if you agree with my opinion which maybe you don't!

This depends on your team, I don't know that you would necessarily run more than pass in the red zone. I mean a lot of receivers use RZF. If your team is passing in the red zone, it would help your LOT and LG.

Clutch is a mystery exactly what it does, but because it is available for each position, I would think it's safe to assume that it does something for each position, and hold block seems the most likely for these positions.

Agree with this, it is better for C and RG, and it's worth checking the pbp to see how your players is doing on the goal line to see if you need it.
