Appreciate everyone's input, especially the bit about levels in Wizard and the EK guide. I am still toying with my EK build, thinking of either going with a DEX-based gnome or a STR-based Half-Orc.
Here are my thoughts on Half-Orc...open to suggestions!
Also, since this is for AL, I can only go with EE or SCAG, not both, hence the reasoning behind my spell selection.
Still have some spells to figure out. Also couldn't figure how to take the odd numbered stat to my advantage...
Also not sure if I'm taking levels in Wizard but the build below does not have any Wizard levels. If I took any, it would likely be after 11 per another suggestion on this board.
Race - Half-Orc
Class - EK Fighter
S – 17
D – 10
C – 15
I – 14
W – 10
Ch – 8
Defense Fighting Style
Feats
4 – +1 STR / +1 CON or Great Weapon Master
6 – +1 STR / +1 CON or Great Weapon Master
8 – Resilient - Wisdom
12 - +2 INT
14 - +2 STR
16 - +2 CON
19 - +2 INT
EK Cantrips – Not sure, actually, given that I won't be taking anything from SCAG. Open to suggestions.

Thank you!
