    @xRatedGProdigyx_PSN this is gonna sound crazy neither are in my lineup they are very very similar it’s a toss up I currently have figgins at 3 V mart at one Yordan at dh so no real room for them. Figgins just plays a role for me.

    Arenado has been insanely good for me. Seems like they changed his swing. He gets the authentic follow for through animation where Arenado really compresses and drives through the ball. Plays like a completely different card than the old Arenado cards IMO.

    I’d say Arenado is right there with Miggy.

    Why have all 3 outfielders play in their secondary positions?

    Put Carlos in RF, Jones in CF, and Trout in LF.

    Or if Trout cant play LF; switch him and Jones.

    Or you could rin the Pirates Draft Pick left fielder out there.

    @rubicante23_PSN Miggy isn’t in this equation for me. I have Pujols at 3B, VMart at 1B and Adley at catcher. I want someone at C who at least has a chance to throw runners out. I think Posada is a great option too. I’m running Trout on the bench as a platoon for Bellinger and PCA to platoon with Jones. I have Langliers as an option if I really need to try to throw out a runner. My last bench spot would be an alternative to Pujols or a defensive replacement for Albies. I don’t know what it is with Albies defense, but he consistently gets bad animations.

    Rotation for me is Bumila, Clemens, Leiter, Mis and Verlander.

    Bullpen is Miller, Duran, Ashby, Britton, O’Day and Bautista.

    Trout is headed for the bench once I get Jones this evening, Beltran's primary is CF and Pujols should be fine in LF, I do have my eye on the Pirates OF though.

    My bad. I mistook 99 Beltran as the free Finest version thats RF.

    @samguenther1987_PSN skenes rly? I find skenes gets teed off of for me and I tee off other people’s. Same with Sanchez I played a 1000 player earlier he started Sanchez I was mentally defeated when I saw the 1000 but proceeded to put up 7 IN THE FIRST! made him rage quit after he flew out twice.

    @Onix_Savage22_PSN for me, a pitcher needs two out of three of a cutter, sinker or outlier fastball to be worthwhile. Also, they need either a change up or splitter to go along with it. Ideally, I want someone with a slider or sweeper as well. There really aren’t a lot of pitchers in the game that fit this criteria with a good rating.

    Change or split or fork is so underrated - even if the game will occasionally bone you by making them hang in the middle even though you made a perfect pitch. You still really need them.

    @GoozeFn_PSN I just had a rly good outing with Yamamoto, lazardo got bumped after a bad outing I replaced him with sale for now but I try to keep my Sox tt pitchers separate from god squad pitchers for stamina reasons.

    I can't afford some of the big names being thrown around in this post yet, but here's what I'm rolling with right now:

    Infield: Adley, Vmart, Nunez, Tulo and Miggy
    OF: Pujols, Trout and Jones
    DH: Jordan Walker
    BENCH: Ceddane Rafaela, Esmerlyn Valdez, Yordan and Vahn Lackey

    SP: Felix, Ohtani, Skubal, Flora and McLean
    Bullpen: Dibble, Riley O'Brien, Britton, Raisel Iglasies, O'Day, Latz, Mason Miller and Hoffman

    I need four more cards for Beltran, and when I get him I'll probably send Trout to the bench. Other than that, I'm pretty much just waiting to see what cards drop in the next week or two.

    The best lineup for me is the one i have the most fun with, changes a few times a week and is currently looking something like;

    C - Vahn Lackey
    1B - Esmerlyn Valdez
    2B - Travis Bazzana
    3B - Chase Headley
    SS - Otto Lopez
    LF - Samad Taylor
    CF - Andruw Jones
    RF - Carlos Beltran

    SP - Gio Rojas, Justin Verlander, Felix Hernandez, Roger Clemens, Ian Seymour

    Bullpen - O'Day, Mason Miller, Hughes, Soto, Ashby, Latz, Petty and Hoffmann.

    I get bored using the same cards on repeat all year, so i just take these funky lineups online and see how it goes.
    If i am good enough to win, i'll win whether i am using all my 99s or this lineup, and if i'm not good enough, Tulowitzi and Martinez won't change that.
