For all the theme teams out there...
now maybe this is just me, but for all the talk on here of running a theme team, it sure doesn’t feel like that many people do when you’re playing online h2h. I can recall throughout the year playing against some 49ers and Steelers teams, and at least one eagle squad. But overall, i don’t feel like there’s honestly as many out there as it seems like there should be
50/50 Eagles, most of which play for me. Some noteable subs are:
I sub out Goedert for 99 Captain Sharpe 99 Shazier is my user 99 Deion and 99 Ramsey at CB due to weakness at position Quinnen Williams at DT2 due to weakness at position (Could run Reggie at DT but Williams is a beast) 99 Ricky is at PWHB for a quality backup 99 Randall McDaniel at LG due to weakness at position 98 Bohanon at FB because I'm not giving up Kelce at C
Otherwise I think it's all Eagles starting.
50/50 Broncos. I rarely see another Broncos team; I feel like most of the theme teams I see are Ravens.
I have a 50/50 Saints team, but I supplement the weakest spots with other players. These are the non Saint starters:
LG Nelson RG Allen WR2 Diggs FS Taylor CB2 Fuller CB3 Sherman ROLB T. Smith MLB2 Shazier LOLB Ware RE Taylor
I also have CB Sanders as my SLCB2 in sub and as second/backup returner, as well as QB Vick as my backup QB for FG fakes and if I need to change things up (he and Brees are pretty opposite QB style wise).
Quote from bigrobj4 >> Quote from robskins21 >> 51/50 Redskins. I do have Shazier as my MLB1 and captain Rice at WR1 as well as Buckner at DT2 because the skins are thin at those positions. I also have a couple of players OOP like Krause at SS2 and Jason Taylor at ROLB1 so I don’t get credit for those in the team chemistry, but I still have 51/50 so I don’t need it. I’m seriously considering upgrading Moses at RT1 to someone else which will put me at 50/50. Moses constantly gets beat and I always have to leave a RB in to help him out. Any suggestions on the best RT in the game?

Agreed, its a cool thing to check out. Wasnt a huge point to starting the thread lol
Quote from bigrobj4 >> A theme team is different to every person. I’m sure there are tons that have 50/50 for the chems but it might not seem like it because they’re filling holes.
If you play me however, the only 2 non Redskins players you will ever see on the field is Franco at FB (since we literally have no option at FB) and the Shazier. I’m 100 solo tackles away from meeting the Shaz objectives and then he’ll be sitting on the bench. (I know it’s dumb to go after at this point but I’m committed to finishing those objectives!!). Every other player has the Skins chem on my team. I’ve even toyed with my lineup and stuck Vernon Davis or Jordan Reed at FB some.

I run a Ravens theme team but I have 99 Hilton 93 Deion Jones and 99 Gronk as exceptions. so when my top 3 is Lamar Gronk and Hiton it looks like a normal team but has almost only Ravens on it.
Regarding the threshold for theme teams - look, I don't give a damn what you field, but it's been discussed here from the beginning of the season that theme team was originally considered 40+/50 and only 50+/50 since introduction of Team Builders. Moreover, seriously, there is just no problem in building a 98 OVR theme team for any team out there at this point, so as I said, play with whoever you like, but it really makes no point in getting involved into theme team discussions if you have something like 30/50, we just face other issues and challenges in teambuilding (e.g. how to get certain players to 99 etc.).
So basically, this post just highlighted an extremely small part of MUT, most likely all from this site lol. Not sure what point was trying to be made by it, but cool to see other guys on the same wave as me!
Quote from Onesko8 >> I rock 40/50 lions. Only 11 of those players actually see the field for me
Do you consider that a theme team?
Same here, 40/50 Chargers, most on the bench. But my starters DO give the team a Charger flavor:
QB: Brees RB's: Gordon & Tomlinson FB: Lo Neal WR: Keenan Allen TE's: Winslow & Gates S's: Weddle & James CB's: Hayward & King MLB: Perryman DT: Tillery DE's: Bosa & Ingram & Deacon Jones
I run into Eagles theme teams more than any other theme team. I have seen Lions, Broncos, Steelers a couple times, Pats once or twice, Seahawks, and Cowboys.
I usually message them as we're playing, especially if its Eagles, and talk about it. Its cool to see other theme teams.
I use 50/50 eagles, the only non Eagles are RT2 - Mitchell Schwartz 93, who I have for the last two Brawler chems TE3/FB - HR Gronk MLB1 - full PU Shazier SS2 - 97 Jamal Adams HB3 - 99 Ricky
Quote from papichulo2358 >> My H2H and SB squad is 40/50 Broncos but I have another 98 OVR 50/50 lineup that I use for solos or whenever I'm bored. Theme teams are meant to juice your favorite team's best players. I could care less if you guys don't think my 40/50 squad Isn't a theme team because I'd rather start 99 Allen over McGovern at RG. Anything over 25/50 is considered theme team territory.
Bingo.
50/50 Eagles Chem - Only spot that I don’t have Eagles for H2H is CB’s we have no good ones - Ramsey -Woodson-Fuller- Darby 99 speed 95 ovr lol - also LG / FB / MLB QB Vick 99- 98 speed non gold RB 1 - Blount 99 speed RB 2- Jordan Howard 97 speed WR 1/2TO & Cris Carter gold- 99 route running in everything WR 3 Jackson best slot in the game TE - Ertz 99 gold 93 speed LT -Jason P best LT in the game LG - Nelson C- Kelce 99 RG-Brooks 99 RT- L Johnson 98 FB Harris FS- Dawkins 99 non gold version SS - Jenkins 97 speed 99 ovr ROLB- Romanoski 99 ovr 99 str-tak-prc-bsh-pow / 92 speed LOLB- Chuck B 99 MLB - Shaz Hicks 98 ovr 92 speed LE - 99 Chris long - 98 ovr Brandon G RE - Barnett DT 98 Cox
so majority are eagles
