    Here’s my line up. Long term, I think it would outperform any other line up (assuming I’d be playing an equally skilled player where we’d both play to .500 with the same team over a large enough sample size)

    Mantle cf
    Chipper 3
    Ruth dh
    Trout lf
    Harper 1
    Acuna rf
    Mauer c
    Captain Ripken ss
    Semien 2

    Tatis (subs in immediately)
    Castilla
    Torre
    Brock pr

    The Ripken card boosts fielding for Trout, Acuna & Harper, and it pushes Tatis to full contact against lefties.

    So you’re looking at
    125/125/125/114 106
    120/125/125/125 112
    125/125/125/125 111
    125/125/125/120 97
    125/125/125/120 109
    125/125/120/120 121
    125/125/121/105 113
    125/125/125/122 91
    125/125/120/106 116

    At this point there are so many great guards that get boosted that it is personal preference.

    I don’t have a single one of those in my lineup lol not even the bench

    but it does look like a very nice lineup. I’ve never used a single captain boost other than once with Buck O’Neil

    @Luckygiodom Tried this many times. Fun for a second while you’re building the team, but then you realize they’re not as good when you play them (lesser hitting attributes or slower or worse fielder) and think, why play with anyone except the best when all you’re doing is disadvantaging your team? It’s all just code. User skill is the same no matter the player.

    Your last sentence contradicts the whole paragraph.

    @X-FREEZE-OFF-X I'm saying, user skill always being a constant, the coding for each player does ultimately make a difference over a large sample size.

    With all things being considered (swing, attributes, defense, speed, Cap boosts, etc), here is my "best" lineup:

    2B Betts R
    LF Trout R
    CF Griffey Jr. L
    RF Acuna R
    SS Elly S
    3B Tatis R
    1B Harper L
    C Realmuto R
    DH Cap Rip

    Bench:
    DH Soto L
    DH Vlad Jr. R
    Speed sub Carroll L
    Speed sub Eric the Red R

    There are several cards that are not in my current lineup that I sub in from time to time (Contreras, Mauer, Belli, Sheffield, Torres, Chipper, Ruth, Mantle, Stanton, Judge, etc.). There are, obviously, a lot of great cards available now.

    It isn’t the lineup. It’s the user. Your opponent will use Fernando Valenzuela and make you quit before the game ends. 😉
