New England Patriots

Offense

The Patriots’ offense is excellent for players whose focus is a quick passing attack all over the field.

Key Formation

Gun Trips Y Iso allows you to use lower-rated WRs and concepts to get open on the trips side. Anytime you get a one-on-one matchup to the iso side, take a shot downfield.

TE with 90+ Overall who has the size to be split out wide and can win one-on-one matchups downfield

Defense

The Patriots’ playbook is one of the most versatile in the entire game and features both 3-4 and 4-3. Drafting a strong OLB is crucial to the Patriots’ success on defense! This player needs to be a hybrid rusher who can stand up in the 3-4 or drop down on early downs and hold up at end in the 4-3.

Key Formation

The Nickel 3-3-5 Odd is a unique formation that should fool your opponents early in the game. Keep switching between 3-4 and 4-3 fronts to see if it throws them off.
