Attila, I can't get your solve to work, I think you might have mis-written a move

R' F R //2x2x1
F U R //Blocks
U2 R L' B' L //Place edge on DB + Blocks xD
R B L U2 L' U //2x2x1
F2 L B L' F2 //Removed that tiny annoying flipped DL edge
D B D' R' //Many blocks
(B' D R D2 R') //On inverse, paired up 2x2x1
B' //Worst L3C case, solved edges are 2 moves away jic something cancells out
D' F' D B2 D' F D B2 //1st comm
R' U R D R' U' R B //2nd comm cancelling as many moves I could

Final solve: R' F R F U R U2 R L' B' L R B L U2 L' U F2 L B L' F2 D B D' R' B' D' F' D B2 D' F D B2 R' U R D R' U' R B R D2 R' D' B (48 moves)

Idk I tried a weird freestyle technique. Solved in around 7 minutes

I stink at rotations. I probably did some of them wrong.

L F2 B' L2 R2 //Pseudo 2x2x2 [Premove: F] (5)
U F' L' B L2* //2x2x3 (5)
Switch to Inverse
U' R B' R' //F2L-1 (4)

Your blockbuilding is good, but 9 moves for EO is kind of bad. You can do edge control before inserting the third slot like this:

L F2 B' L2 R2 // 222 (5/5)
U F' L' B L2 // 223 (5/10)
switch to inverse:
F' U' // adjust
L U L' U' // flip two edges + lucky pair formed
R B' R' // F2L-1 (9/19)

Then if you sledgehammer the pair in, you end up with OLL skip and a U perm, no AUF. Either finish it with a U perm (33 moves) or see if you can insert an edge commutator (probably ~31 moves).

L2 B2 U' L2 B2 D2 U' B2 R2 U2 R2 F R2 B L' B D2 F D U F D2

FreeFOP, 49 FTM, 51 ETM.

z' x'
U' L R F U F U2 F U' // accidentally xxcross
x' R' U R U' R' U' R // pair
D U2 R U' R2 F R F' // EO
U2 y L' U L // slot
x' U' R U L' U' R' U r // COLL
(U D') R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2 // U perm

Tried to simulate what I'd do if I had perfect lookahead. Was going to do F2L-on-left with white, but switched to F2L-on-bottom with red since pseudo-xxcross happened to be formed and was just an x' rotation away.
