Top 5 Halfback Items in MUT

Most players utilize a run-first offense early in the season while they are still looking to build confidence in their passing game. This year, both power backs and elusive backs can be effective with the right play calls. Consider grabbing a backup who is a solid receiver for third downs. However, if you get one of these elite backs, you should let him carry the load for the offense.

Jamaal Charles

Style: Short Pass

Jamaal Charles is an excellent back, and not just because of his breakaway speed. Charles also has excellent hands out of the backfield and is one of the best route runners in MUT. If he gets matched up against a linebacker, he will win almost every time.

Adrian Peterson

Style: Speed Run

Adrian Peterson can defeat tacklers with both power and elusive moves, which makes him one of the most versatile backs in Ultimate Team. To prevent fumbles, make sure to cover up the ball, and avoid taking unnecessary hits.

Le’Veon Bell

Style: Ground and Pound

Bell is a powerful runner with a great arsenal of moves to defeat tacklers. While most power runners tend to be straight-ahead-style players, Bell can quickly cut and change lanes. He also is an every-down back, which provides great value to any team.

DeMarco Murray

Style: Long Pass

Murray has such a tremendous blend of power and speed that not only can he knock over tacklers, but also he can run right past them! Murray is another rare combo player who has hands to go along with his power and is a very valuable back to an offense.

Marshawn Lynch

Style: Short Pass

Lynch is the best trucking back in the game and should be used to build a power run offense! While Alfred Morris, LeGarrette Blount, and Eddie Lacy are all solid trucking backs, Lynch is simply head and shoulders better. He will convert consistently in short yardage to keep the chains moving for your offense.
