| Play style | Useful priorities | Best roster focus |
| Run-heavy | Blocking, stamina, acceleration | Running back and offensive line |
| Air attack | Route running, release, arm strength | Quarterback and receivers |
| Defensive pressure | Speed, power moves, pursuit | Pass rush and linebackers |
| Coverage focused | Awareness, agility, zone skills | Cornerbacks and safeties |
Before buying, compare how a potential addition performs within your scheme. A slightly lower-rated card with ideal traits can provide more value than a famous name that does not match your playbook.
