Be warned, though, he\u2019s not much use past level 20 and fast becomes irrelevant. His best position is as a forward due to his goal scoring prowess.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best position: Forward<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 1 Stats: HP<\/strong> 80. <strong>SP<\/strong> 65. <strong>EN<\/strong> 9. <strong>AT<\/strong> 6. <strong>PA<\/strong> 3. <strong>BL<\/strong> 5. <strong>SH<\/strong> 17. <strong>CA<\/strong> 2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 50 Stats: HP<\/strong> 3, 327. <strong>SP<\/strong> 66. <strong>EN<\/strong> 46. <strong>AT<\/strong> 31. <strong>PA<\/strong> 11. <strong>BL<\/strong> 23. <strong>SH<\/strong> 22. <strong>CA<\/strong> 18. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Wedge can be found at Luca\u2019s main gate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt='jumal-blitzball-goalkeeper-2422239' src='https:\/\/blogofgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Jumal-Blitzball-Goalkeeper-2422239.png' \/> Jumal \u2013 Blitzball Goalkeeper<\/p>\n<p>Like Wedge, Jumal is another blitzball player to recruit early on in the game. After level 20, he\u2019s fairly useless if you\u2019re aiming to get the best team possible. If you\u2019re aiming for one of the best blitzball teams early on, however, Jumal\u2019s a good choice for a goalkeeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best position: Goalkeeper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 1 Stats: HP<\/strong> 100. <strong>SP<\/strong> 60. <strong>EN<\/strong> 8. <strong>AT<\/strong> 1. <strong>PA<\/strong> 5. <strong>BL<\/strong> 4. <strong>SH<\/strong> 1. <strong>CA<\/strong> 14.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 50 Stats: HP<\/strong> 3,347. <strong>SP<\/strong> 60. <strong>EN<\/strong> 16. <strong>AT<\/strong> 16. <strong>PA<\/strong> 25. <strong>BL<\/strong> 7. <strong>SH<\/strong> 11. <strong>CA<\/strong> 25. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Jumal can be found on Luca Square, along with his family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img alt='zalitz-blitzball-defender-1774286' src='https:\/\/blogofgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Zalitz-Blitzball-Defender-1774286.png' \/> Zalitz \u2013 Blitzball Defender<\/p>\n<p>Zalitz is a sailor who grows tired of the sea after encountering Sin one too many times for his liking.

He doesn\u2019t become available until later in the game, though, so you may have to be a bit patient before recruiting him to the Besaid Aurochs.<\/p>\n<p>He starts out as the keeper for the Al Bhed Psyches, but should be snaffled up at the earliest possible opportunity to create the best blitzball team possible in FFX.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best position: Goalkeeper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 1 Stats: HP<\/strong> 96. <strong>SP<\/strong> 60. <strong>EN<\/strong> 5. <strong>AT<\/strong> 10. <strong>PA<\/strong> 2. <strong>BL<\/strong> 4. <strong>SH<\/strong> 1. <strong>CA<\/strong> 18.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Level 50 Stats: HP<\/strong> 3,063. <strong>SP<\/strong> 60. <strong>EN<\/strong> 33. <strong>AT<\/strong> 23. <strong>PA<\/strong> 17. <strong>BL<\/strong> 11. <strong>SH<\/strong> 11. <strong>CA<\/strong> 35. <strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:<\/strong> Nimrook is easy to locate, he is in the corridor of the Farenheit airship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Ropp \u2013 Blitzball Defender<\/p>\n<p>Ropp is a clerk with an unassuming ability as one of the best blitzball players in FFX.
