Hey MUT fans, this week wrapped up the Most Feared program with its third and final release. We decided to look back and rank the top 10 players of the Most Feared program:
Top 10 Most Feared Players in MUT 23
1. 92 OVR Harold Carmichael (WR)
There isn’t a lot of explanation needed for this one. Carmichael is a 6’8” wide receiver with 90 speed. He also gets Deep Out Elite or Red Zone Threat for just 1 AP. He should be on every team.
2. 92 OVR Trent Williams (LT)
Williams has great run blocking ratings and decent pass blocking ratings. That’s not what matters though. Williams can equip Edge Protector for just 1 AP. When everyone is running Edge Threat and its combos, countering it with Edge Protector for just 1 AP is incredibly valuable. If you play any H2H at all, you need 1 AP Edge Protector.
3. 90 OVR Andrew Thomas (LT)
You’re probably wondering why a 90 OVR player and another LT is so high on the list, but it’s the same reason as Williams. Thomas also can equip Edge Protector for just 1 AP. Abilities work just fine out of position, so there’s no problem with running Williams at left tackle and moving Thomas over to right tackle. That way for just 2 AP, you’re immune to Edge Threat and you have great protection against edge rushers in general.
4. 92 OVR Derwin James (SS)
Derwin is arguably the best user defender in the game. He’s 6’2” with 91 speed and high agility (90) and change of direction (88). What makes him special is that he gets the Crusher ability for 0 AP. Landing Crusher hit sticks with Derwin can add up to create fatigue problems for your opponents. Combine that with his 90 hit power and you’ll be forcing fumbles that can change the outcome of a game.
5. 92 OVR Stephon Gilmore (CB)
Gilmore might be the best CB in the game right now. He has 92 speed, 92 man coverage, 91 zone coverage, and 92 press. The best part about this item is that you can equip Tip Drill for 0 AP. Without Tip Drill (or Pick Artist) your DBs will not be able to intercept dropped passes. When you can run Tip Drill for free, it helps shift the balance a bit towards your defense in the current meta of high point aggressive catches.
6. 92 OVR Tyreek Hill (WR)
Tyreek is the fastest player in Madden Ultimate Team right now. For that reason alone you should strongly consider adding him to your roster. He has 93 speed and 94 acceleration along with 90+ in all route running ratings. He’s also a huge threat in the open field with 93 juke moves, 90 spin moves, 90 break tackle, and 94 change of direction. Don’t forget that he can equip Juke Box or Outside Apprentice for just 1 AP.
7. 92 OVR Kyle Pitts (TE)
Pitts is an athletic freak. At 6’6” and 91 speed, he can beat you with a high ball aggressive catch or just take the top off of your defense. He can’t really block, but hopefully you’re sending him out on a route the vast majority of the time. He can equip Deep In Elite, Mid In Elite, or Runoff Elite for just 1 AP which all have value in the right schemes.
8. 92 OVR Derrick Henry (HB)
There are a ton of great options at HB in MUT right now, but Henry is probably the best downhill runner available. He has 90 speed, 92 trucking, 91 break tackle, and 92 stiff arm, all on a 6’3”, 255 lb. frame. He also gets your choice of Bruiser, Goal Line Back, and Tank each for just 1 AP.
9. 92 OVR Myles Garrett (RE)
Garrett is an amazing pass rusher coming off of the edge with 92 power moves and he has all of the pass rush traits. His ability discount on Double or Nothing allows you to run the Edge Threat with Double or Nothing stack that’s popular right now for 5 AP instead of 6. If you go that route and you’re facing someone without two Edge Protectors, Garrett is going to be a problem for the opposing QB.
10. 92 OVR Tyrann Mathieu (FS)
Mathieu barely made it into our top 10 Most Feared players. On one hand, he’s a 5’9” safety in a game that’s dominated by height right now. One the other, get can equip Tip Drill for 0 AP, so if your opponent doesn’t come down with the aggressive catch, the Honey Badger has a real shot at an interception. It’s hard to turn down free abilities that are difference makers.
