Is your CB #5 and 6 getting playing time?

Hey y'all, I've been playing with some lineup changes with all the great cards out it's so hard to limit oneself. Lol. Anyway, since getting on MUT (this year is my first time doing Ultimate Team) and following people here and on YouTube my understanding was that CB5 never sees field time so it's a safe spot for program specific players, etc,. 

Well recently I've discovered that if I use CB4 as Slot corner 1 and  a 6th corner at slot corner 2, then yes, I can confirm CB5 and 6 will absolutely see field time. A lot. I'm running a 45/25 Cowboys/Seahawks TT and currently I'm using: 

Richard Sherman CB1

Jalen Ramsey CB2

Tariq Woolen CB3

Daron Bland CB4 (Slot1)

Byron Jones CB5

Shawn Springs (95 no upgrad)  (Slot 2)

I've been having a blast seeing all these cool cards get playing time. I'm gonna upgrade Shawn Springs soon but damn, even only boosted to 97 without Ryan Clark he's made some great plays for me. Byron Jones does see the least amount so far but he does show up on certain plays.

Let me know what y'all think about building a God Squad secondary and seeing them all get to eat? 

I love it! ✌️

I’ve always wondered what corner would be best to run as slot I’ve always used CB3 for slot role. 

I know that CB2 is the one that is going to be challenged for deep bombs so I usually put my best corner as CB2

Same here for the longest time. Only recently I've become "attached" to certain cards and started messing with the specialist slots to see what I could get. I edited my post and heading because I can actually get 6 different corners rotating. 

My CB5 is Byron Jones, I put him there yesterday and when with Springs still at Slot 2 they both sub in on certain plays. It's really cool.

I find it more valuable to have as many safety as possible 335 penny & big nickel over G use 3 safety then you sub lb a safety and you have 4 safety 2 corner 1 LB and 4 DL put LB at your rushing edges then you have 3 LB 2 DL

so 

safety 4

CB 2

LB 3

DL 2

my set up

my set up

I'm using Kam Chancellor as my Sub LB1 

Bkackmon is my #2 and usually covers deep right. 

Krause is deep left at FS1

So I usually get three on the field and then the CPU will rotate the corners depending on man/zone cover 3/4/6 etc. 

My user skills are so novice that I'm either using a lineman or aLB. I'm too  green to use the DB's as I have a tendency to blow coverage. Lol. I'm getting there but still have a lot of practicing to do.
