Madden NFL 17 Ultimate Team Budget Offense: part 2

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 favorite 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. Prices are based on Xbox One averages at the time of writing (January 20th 2017) and change day to day so they are subject to change. We have reported the budget offense part 1: Cheap Madden NFL 17 Budget Offense lineup 
 


Center:
Maurkice Pouncey, 85 Overall, 2,800
Pouncey’s Overall rating may put you off but his other ratings and his play are at a much higher level, and at this price you simply cannot pass him up. He has 88 Strength, 88 Run Block, 88 Pass Block and 92 Impact Blocking which makes him one of the best all-round offensive lineman. Like Thomas, Pouncey remained my team’s center for a long time as very few centers have better ratings than he does, regardless of the Overall rating.
 
Tight End:
Tyler Eifert, 86 Overall, 8,100 Coins
Within the budget Eifert is the most all-round option available at tight end and he is a very good one at that. He is an excellent pass catcher and is on the faster end of the spectrum for ‘Base Set Edition’ tight ends. He is a menace over the middle and is a great weapon in the redzone. Just to make things better, he has 79 Run Blocking which is several points less than his main competitor Greg Olsen, which is why I chose Eifert of Olsen.
 
Left Guard:
Richie Incognito, 87 Overall, 8,200 Coins
With Incognito at LG next to Joe Thomas at LT you’ll have a very well rounded blindside. Incognito has 85 Pass Blocking, 92 Run Blocking and 82 Impact Blocking and so creates a very well balanced side of the offensive line. In the run game you’ll be able to jam the ball own the defenses throat behind Incognito but then he’ll be solid in the pass game to keep your pocket clean.
 
Right Guard:
Zack Martin, 87 Overall, 8,000 Coins
Zack Martin is the second best RG in the NFL at the moment, if not the best, and this ‘Base Set Edition’ of him reflects that. He has 86 Strength, 88 Run Block, 91 Pass Block and 82 Impact Blocking. Like Incognito he is a force to be reckoned with on the interior and the trio of Incognito, Pouncey and Martin means that running the ball down the middle will not be an issue for this team.
 
Left Tackle:
Joe Thomas, 87 Overall, 8,000 Coins
Joe Thomas, despite not being the highest Overall LT in the game, is not that much worse than any of them and for his price he is great value. He has 90 Pass Blocking, 86 Run Blocking and 88 Impact Blocking with 87 Strength, and that is pretty much as good as you can ask for, especially within this budget. In fact, he was my teams starting left tackle for a long time despite being the worst rated o-lineman on my time going by Overall and he was never a weak link.
 


Right Tackle:
Mitchell Schwartz, 86 Overall, 5,800 Coins
Schwartz was one of the highest rated RT’s available within the budget and he is well worth the Coins. He has 87 Strength, 85 Run Block, 91 Pass Block and 82 Impact Block so, like all of the other players on the offensive line, he is capable and good at doing anything you need him to.
