Champions
Khalil Mack (CHI | LOLB | 94 OVR)
This Mack item immediately slots in as one of the best pass rushers in the game, if not the best. The 94 block shedding and finesse moves, plus 90 power moves, 89 speed and 88 strength are downright overpowering. Absolute game changing item on defense.
Alvin Kamara (NO | HB | 94 OVR)
One of the lone bright spots of New Orleans’ offense this year, Kamara is putting up his usually impressive numbers and gets a MUT item to coincide. I’m shocked by this item’s 88 trucking. Power isn’t usually Kamara’s strength, but this item definitely doesn’t sell him short. Combine that trucking with a 93 speed and 89 change of direction and you’ve got your MUT squad’s RB1.
Tyreek Hill (KC | WR | 94 OVR)
*Sigh* Well, I, too, was hoping to see some jumping off the screen speed numbers here, but a 94 is far from something to sulk about. The route running attributes are all fantastic, too, capped off by a 94 deep route running. Line this Hill item up anywhere on the field and find your mismatch because it’s a solid weapon.
LTD
Matthew Stafford (LAR | QB | 95 OVR)
Talk about a dude who’s been balling out this year! Usually players take a year or two to get acclimated to new surroundings, but Stafford went into this season with the Rams guns blazing. These passing attributes are some of the best in the game, looking at you, 95 throw power.

TJ’s Top Five: Second Harvest
I’ll save you the Heroes, Champions and LTD. Everyone knows these cards are beastly. Instead, I’ll focus on the meat of the Harvest II release and give you my favorite items that could bolster your Ultimate Team.
Michael Carter (NYJ | HB | 84 OVR)
This item is a fantastic back to mix into any system. The 89 speed and change of direction can hang with the best of them, and at an 84 overall, this item will surely be available at a discount. I’d be more than happy with this item as a change of pace back.
AJ Cole III (LV | P | 90 OVR)
Punters are people too! There’s not much to say here other than 91 kick power. It’s one of the highest ratings in the game from either a kicker or punter. The 85 kick accuracy solidifies this item as force to be reckoned with, well, as much of a force as a punter can be. This probably isn’t the item to run some funny stuff with (60 speed, 26 throw power) but assuming Cole’s only in there to punt, you’re in good hands … or … feet.
Rashaan Evans (TEN | MLB | 90 OVR)
MUT unveiled another beast of a middle linebacker item here in Evans. The combination of speed (88) and strength (86) is impressive from someone who will be front and center on your defense. This Evans item boasts 90’s in both tackling and block shedding, plus a 92 hit power, making it an elite run-stuffing option at MLB. The 65 zone coverage isn’t fantastic, but if you’re usering this item that’s not much of an issue. Plus, the 92 POW will keep drag and slant routes away with fear alone.
Jason Peters (CHI | LT | 88 OVR)
There are plenty of linemen with a 90 overall and higher tag, but this Peters item can hang with any of them. I’d feel comfortable starting Peters at either tackle position against any MUT squad right now. Namely, the 90 strength is what moves the needle for me. However, the 88 run blocking and 86 pass blocking are also impressive. I’m curious to see if the marketplace boosts this item’s price, but if it’s significantly cheaper than some of the 90+ linemen, I’ll be all over it.
Ernest Jones (LAR | MLB | 86 OVR)
This Jones item is an undisputed W. I’m ranking it ahead of the Evans item because it gives you most of the juice with four less overall points, likely making it more obtainable in the marketplace. Not to mention, this item’s zone coverage (70) is a whole five points higher than Evans’. The 87 speed is extremely solid for the position and all other attributes hold their own, specifically the 84 block shedding, which, given the 86 OVR tag, could have been much lower and we still would have been content. I’m trying to find this item wherever it's available.
