Basically run the meta nah I’m kidding although it can still work. How I’ve found success is just by doing what I like/are comfortable with Ive tried to use what’s the meta but I’m not comfortable with it sometimes like in the all run meta in madden 20/21 I was always more comfortable passing so that’s what I did and I found more successes with it and won more games its the same with qb I always have wanted to find success with vick or cunningham but I’m just better with a pocket passer or slightly agile thats why I use Herbert he can scramble if needed but he has a good arm and accuracy same with running back I just can’t use a Jerome bettis I would rather use a cmc or a joe mixon just something that’s more all around 

conclusion 

I’m probably not the most qualified person but I’ve been in legend and have a lot of experience and this is how I’ve found success and I hope you will to
