Safety question/issue (FS/SS, User) - opinions wanted

So I painstakingly built 96 Derwin but now Lott dropped with insane abilities and Lynch with 0 AP avalanche.

I run a Giants TT mostly (40/40), so my safeties are Ryan Clark (gets NYG chem), McKinney, that Derwin, and either Rocket or Reid (I also have 20 KC chem).

Now I got my hands on Lott and built Lynch....Seems to me like Lott is the better card but Lynch gets 0AP avalanche...

If I didn't run a NYG TT I'd just run Lynch, Lott, Derwin and one of the other guys....

With 0 AP avalanche, Lynch as my user may be the move? If you were locked in to McKinney and Clark which 2 other Safeties would you go with? And who would you user? Bear in mind I run a lot of nickel and Dime sets

If you feel the need to comment on me being ale to afford Lott and Lynch, please move along. A lot of people saved up coins for the SB promo for exactly this reason. I'm looking for honest thoughts on which cards are best

Lynch's 0 AP avalanche is a starting on X-Factor, that will be gone in just a few plays.  It's hard to re-activate it.  I wouldn't let that be your deciding factor.

You CAN get it always on, as he gets it in his last ability bucket, but it's 2 AP.  I'm currently using Lynch/Ray in the box, and Rocket/Lott deep.  Derwin is my nickel CB.

I still feel Derwin is the best defensive card in the game (he at least plays like he is), so he would be the one for sure.  Lynch/Lott is a toss up.  I think they are both very similar cards.

First, good to hear from you and hope you and your fam are well....

As to your above post, that's a really good point. I also wonder what the difference is between the X factors labeled as "Super Bowl X" and those just labeled "Super Bowl" ...

Do the ones labeled "X" have an easier requirement to re-activate? I haven't seen much on this....

With needing Clark and McKinney adding to my Giants TT chem, I kinda have to stick with them...really having a hard time considering not starting that Derwin card so I hear you.

Thanks bud

Thanks martry, you as well :)

Yea, the X-Factors are confusing.  The ones that just say "Super Bowl" are the same basic X-Factors that are in the game now that are all 0 AP, that come standard on almost most cards.  These are the ones we've had in years past, and the ones that take a LOT to activate (for example Freight Train is 5 carries of 10+ yards).  The only difference is the SB ones start on, and will stay activated for a few plays.  I tried some on MGJ/Ware, and they were gone fairly quickly (I think its 30 yards given up on defense to de-activate for those), and getting them back requires 3+ sacks I believe.  

The ones that say "Super Bowl X" are the newer types of X-Factors we've already gotten this year like "Pick Artist XXF" or whatever they are called.  Those are X-Factors that aren't as dominant (for example pick artist), but requires a lot less to activate.  Again, the "Super Bowl XXF" are the same as those, they just start on.
