Cheap Madden NFL 17 Budget Offense lineup
Madden 17 Ultimate Team is the place football fans go in order to build a team that is completely their own. Unlike Connected Franchise, there is no cap space to worry about, no salaries and contracts to worry about and players aren’t owned by other teams who demand high trade prices. Any player you want you can get and that allows you to build a team filled with the best players available or all of your favourite players. Do you want to make a great team on Madden Ultimate Team without spending hundreds of thousands of coins? Here is a budget offense that is as good as any other lineup. Here is the lineup to 85,000 Coins and limited each position to 15,000 Coins.
Quarterback:
Aaron Rodgers, 89 Overall, 14,500 Coins
He wasn’t the cheapest option, an 88 Overall Cam Newton cost around 8000 Coins and a 90 Overall Philip Rivers cost around 10,000 Coins, but this version of Rodgers strikes a balance between those two that is hard to beat. He has one of the best arms in the game, as he does in real life, as he has 91 Throw Power, 91 Short Accuracy, 90 Medium Accuracy, 86 Deep Accuracy and 90 Throw on the Run. Then if you ever need to scramble he has 77 Speed which, despite not being fast, is more than quick enough to get the yards that you need.
Full Back:
Patrick DiMarco, 85 Overall, 5,900 Coins
Within the budget you could buy the 89 Overall ‘Most Feared’ version of Patrick DiMarco but he is not worth the extra Coins. He is about 10,000 Coins more expensive but only offers an upgrade of 2 or 3 points on each attribute. So, for example, the 85 Overall version that I have chosen has 85 Run Blocking and 91 Impact Blocking whereas the 89 Overall version has 88 Run Blocking and 92 Impact Blocking. Of course the latter version is better but if you’re building a budget team then using the base edition of DiMarco is far more economical.
Running Back:
Carlos Hyde, 88 Overall, 9,900 Coins
For just under 10,000 Coins Hyde is a bargain and can do pretty much anything. With 89 Speed he is plenty fast enough and his 90 Acceleration and 88 Agility make him just as quick as he is fast. What’s more, he has 91 Trucking, 88 Stiff Arm, 92 Spin Move, 84 Juke Move and 82 Elusiveness so he can bowl over and through people with ease or can make people miss and bounce off tacklers on his way to big plays.
Wide Receiver:
Jeremy Maclin, 88 Overall, 11,500 Coins
Maclin is quite a bit more expensive than the previous two, especially when you consider I have him playing in the slot as the number 3 receiver, but he is worth the money considering the amount you saved on Green and Hopkins. He is a little quicker than the previous to and he suits playing the slot position more than either of the others. In my experience of using him he is a very good deep threat but is equally as dangerous on very quick passes that he can turn into big gains, which is what a slot needs to do. He is a reliable third down option and completes a very effective WR corps.
DeAndre Hopkins, 87 Overall, 6,900 Coins
It’s the same story with Hopkins as it is with Green. The differences between them are negligible. Hopkins is a slightly better possession receiver, in that he is better at making spectacular or contested catches, but Green is slightly better after the catch. Between them you’ll have a formidable one-two punch at receiver.
