CB4

I got RP DRC, RP Marcus Peters and GT Randy Moss on my lineup now…. Looking for a CB4 who have bottleneck…who should I go and buy? (I do run man coverage a lot…sorry if that annoy some people)

I continue to waffle a bit with my CB4.  I'm floating between Revis and Khyree Jackson (RIP): https://www.mut.gg/players/27908-darrelle-revis/24-44027908/#abilities

Revis would fit your Bottleneck meta wonderfully, assuming you have 1AP to devote to his stack of; Universal Coverage, Pick Artist & Secure Tackler (plus baked on Bottleneck, but you cannot remove it, so i left it off the list).  He's fantastic, just a bit on the shorter side.  And very reasonably priced for an end-game DB.  Other options might be a Safety playing OOP at Slot2.  I prefer to have a fast player, who is great at making tackles and preferably with either Avalanche to try and make some plays on kickoffs, that CB4 streaks down the left sideline.  However, OOP players typically cannot be added from pre-game menu options, you'd need to sub once actually in a game.  Tatum (also gets 0AP Bottleneck), Ryan Neal or even Larry Wilson would all make fantastic Slot corners in a pinch.

I like Revis much better than Khyree. However, both Revis and Moss require a lot of AP to really make them good, so it is difficult to use both. Of course you can give Revis a great stack for 1 AP but on the advice of someone else on this site, I added Bench Press to all of the players with Bottleneck and it does make a big difference (So my Revis was at 3 AP). Decided to also use Peters, Moss, DRC and the used Ward as my fourth for now. I know I gave up bottleneck for Ward, but saved a lot of AP and was really better than Khyree. Outside of bottleneck, still think of Ward as one of the CB in the game (Peters only one that is clearly better). I tried Neal as CB for awhile but he just gave up way too many plays.
