Fwiw I wrote this as a PM reply then typed in my team forum then typed here. Enjoy.

It is important to not see 100 base as a magic number. On some players you want it higher, and on some lower.
Some basic building premises.......
1. 4x multi then lvl2 enhance any attributes ur gonna be training for a long time. lvl3 might be worth it (I am not going to excel the days trained needed to break even, and gain +1 SP again), but lvl2 is safer as a hard fast rule (remember you only need to unlock 3 attributes to 4x multi, and then you can swap off the attribute u didn't buy to any one if you want, so you effectively pay for 3x multi with a wildcard space)
2. 3AE or 4AE. 3AE in the vast majority of cases. 4AE can be argued only on QB (because +% AE is king), RB (because they need alot of +% AE which is king, plus +58 spd is big), and WR (have bad ALG's, +58 spd is big). Keep in mind that WR and HB can be argued for 3AE, but QB you really want 4. Defensive players have so many secondaries and different +% pieces needed that 3AE is king. It also makes ur dots look sexier cuz owners just look at effective levels like sheep, and EL ignores AE.
3. Pump first 2 attributes to idk, like 86 with SP. Maybe less on the second depending on what your build goals are, but majors are important.
4. 4x multi asap your first 4 attributes (including the one you pumped to 86), and remember step 1 to level2 enhance them all. Feel free to keep training attribute one as long as its not over 100. Multi training as high attribute levels is efficient so it makes good dots.
5. +% AE is still the most important thing in this game. Luckily 3AE dots have 4 +% slots thanks for CE. If you are a low +% position like oline or dline, you better have triple stacked (+15%, +15%, +12%CE) in your respective hold/break block%, that's 25.5%. And yes, the 3rd stack is good. You are a DE. All you care about is getting off that block. +3% break block, in your break block score gives you +3% spd, agility, strength, vision, any SA's that help, any other attributes that help. Overpowered best thing on earth. On some spots you can only double stack your favorite thing (like the back 7 on D because you have so many demands), but on a 3AE CB, +15% pd, +12%pdCE, +15% avoid fake (catch fake overpowered start putting this on your DBs cuz builds are catching up at WR), +15% make tackle is good, which gives you 21%,15%,15%. If you feel you only care about coverages, changing 15% make tackle for 15% (effectively 7.5%) avoid fake, is a good idea.
Lesson being, Just about all your AE and CE needs to be going into +% stuff unless you are an olineman, dlineman, kicker, or punter.
6. Gotta be lvl60+ if not lvl70+ to pump SAs. Kinda dumb, but SA's do not get ALG's (auto level gains) so they are best saved for later.
