Warrior General Games

I took some time to give my spin on the league. There isnt much to go on yet since it is still the pre-season, but here's what I came up with...

Western Conference

Waianae Seariders
Average Player Level – 191.46
Player Count – 51
Analysis – Waianae is a one agent team; OC, DC and owns all the players. This helps eliminate any communication issues with a team, but the success of the team rides solely on one person’s shoulders. The depth chart is very thin though despite 51 players. Only 1 QB, 2 HBs and 1 FB could leave the offense worn out in the second half of games, especially early in the season.
Prediction – Play-offs, 6-8 seed

Ohio State Dotball
APL – 195.03
PC – 52
Analysis – The offense seems geared toward the run with multiple blocking FBs, but having only 2 guards and 3 tackles could leave them gasping for breath as well. A few CPU players a sprinkled through the line-up, I assume for depth purposes. A few players did not get the 3 boosts in before roll over which will obviously leave them a step behind the rest of the league. As long as their coach is forthcoming with any future violations they should have a chance for success.
Prediction – Play-offs, 6-8 seed

Plymouth Pirates
APL – 167
PC – 46
Analysis – All CPU team, tactics will only get you so far.
Prediction – Bottom of the league

Florida Stingrays
APL – 185.82
PC – 45
Analysis – A small roster and half of which did not boost at the end of S20 will cause this team only limited success in S21. They are thin at every non-glamour position and most of their defense. Open builds reveal some interesting equipment placement, no CEQ and one player with only one piece of equipment so far. Eight CPU players out of 45 players will limit their success.
Prediction – Will struggle to qualify for the play-offs

Tokyo Bust a Groove
APL – 173.69
PC – 51
Analysis – Predominantly a one man show with a little help sprinkled in. Most of the team did not boost before roll over which will hurt them as well. A well rounded roster overall, but only two HBs could cause some fatigue issues. Their pre-season successes so far come from a weak schedule so far. I see them riding an undefeated streak into a week 3 match-up with the Wookies that could bring them quickly back to reality.
Prediction – A bubble team who are on the outside looking in right now

I Bent My Wookie
APL – 196.23
PC – 41
Analysis – Another team with one agent running most of the show. Their APL and mostly level 4 players shows good build guides. The only weakness I see once again is lack of depth at the skill positions. Two HBs, one FB, one TE and four WRs means fatigue will be an issue in the second half of games. Don’t expect to see much 5WR since they don’t have a fifth WR on the depth chart and the TE will be exhausted from playing almost every down on offense. So far they have been racking up their yards on the ground leading to a 3-0 record, but can they sustain that once they face a defense that isn’t completely CPU players?
Prediction – They coast to the play-offs as a 4 or 5 seed

St. James Gate
CPU owned team that should be a cake walk for all opponents

Pudong Skyfire
APL – 191.99
PC – 40
Analysis – Pudong seems to be playing “live by the pass, die by the pass”… and right now they are dying by the pass. Yeah they have put up 700+ yards of passing so far, but they have failed to move the ball on the ground or keep their opponents out of the end zone. More lack of depth will keep this team from reach their full potential.
Prediction – Pudong will finish middle of the pack, but fail to make the play-offs

Ty-Isaf MAN DOWN!
APL – 179.9
PC – 41
Analysis – A roster of predominantly level 1 players, open builds and inactive agents is a stark contrast to the 3-0 record they are currently sporting. Ty-Isaf is another team who has chosen to go with two HBs and one FB. Maybe I am way off here, but once again I think this will lead to tired players towards the end of games. With 14 open roster spots more depth at skill positions was possible.
Prediction – Play-off, maybe an 8 seed

Peoria Patroits
APL – 171.82
PC – 55
Analysis – A full roster, plenty of depth, plenty of agents… but that’s the only positives. A full roster of level 1 dots mean this team better have great tactics to make the play-offs.
Prediction – Will struggle to make the play-offs

Tennessee Tyrants
APL – 197.13
PC – 47
Analysis – A full depth chart, some players who have already boosted to level 7 and a solid APL tells me this is the team to beat… at least in the short run. The level 7s will start to fall behind in regards to training, but I don’t know if that will affect S21. There are a few CPUs on the team, but I think right now they are still one of the teams to beat in the West.
Prediction – They will fight for the top spot in the league

Lancashire Wolverines
APL – 195.16
PC – 46
Analysis – The roster that is almost a 50/50 split of level 4s and level 1s. They had a good streak going in the pre-season, but have taken some lumps recently. If they had some more horses in the running back stable I would feel better about their chances.
Prediction – Middle of the play-off pack

Mason County Marauders
APL – 212.62
PC – 49
Analysis – Great depth, great APL. About 2/3s of the roster has already started boosting for S21. This will lead to loss of some potential training gains, but I don’t think it will affect their finish this season. They have a good pre-season going at 5-1 and appear ready to carry that success into the regular season.
Prediction – The other team in the West fighting for the 1 seed and home field advantage

Toronto Rush
APL – 171.91
PC – 48
Analysis – A half CPU roster and 99% level 1 dots leaves this team struggling to be competitive, as shown by their 1-3 start. Depending on when they boost they could make some noise in the league.
Prediction – The bottom of the bubble or worse

Le Mars Steelers
CPU owned team that should be a cake walk for all opponents

Bedford Rodents
APL – 180.6
PC – 41
Analysis – A fully stocked human defense leaves is the best they going for them. Unfortunately, a season in which the owner is honoring his daughter will not equal much success on the grid-iron… unless sentimentality shoots them to the top of the rankings. We wish the owner the best of luck in his personal life.
Prediction – Somewhere in the middle of the bottom half

Eastern Conference

10 Years in a Cell with a Psycho Gorilla
Average Player Level – 183.99
Player Count – 40
Analysis – With only nine human players and 31 PCU players this team will continue their pre-season struggles throughout the regular season. Of those nine players only three have boosted. Looks like these guys got there are gonna be locked up for at least another 40 days.
Prediction – They appear to be locked up in a spot just above the CPU owned teams

Ft. Gordon Commandos
APL – 196.06
PC – 49
Analysis – A well rounded roster with plenty of depth and some level fives and sevens sprinkled in should spell success. However, their 2-2 record so far speaks much differently. It would appear these commandos are either setting an ambush for the regular season or they need to head back to basic training.
Prediction – A bubble team who I am putting on the top half of the bubble based on potential

Rookie Screaming Chocolate Eels
APL – 194.22
PC – 54
Analysis – A full, well stocked, boosted roster should help avoid fatigue issues. The Chocolate Eels are have had good scrimmage success in the pre-season, running off an 8-game winning streak since applying their stock piled skill points. I’m sure they’re pulling for a 10-1 pre-season and Hershey squirting their way into the regular season on a high note.
Prediction – A top finish fighting for the #1 seed

Otago Irons
APL – 173.25
PC – 40
Analysis – Otaga is an Iron Man team who I wish the best of luck in their Iron Man League, but success will be “hard” to come by in this league… get it???
Prediction – The Irons will finish near the bottom and will be in a fight for the 14th spot

Springfield Isotopes
APL – 0
PC – 40 CPU players
Analysis – Doh!!! A roster full of CPUs and a couple 0-112 blow outs so far tells me this team is looking to future and ignoring this season.
Prediction – Another team fighting to stay out of the 14th spot

That's So Cliche
APL – 195.95
PC – 55
Analysis – A full roster and plenty of depth is a recipe for success, but the level ones and twos on the roster could keep them from a chance at the #1 seed. So far a stout defense and a powerful, balanced offense have led to some huge blow outs. Week 16 looks like it’s going to be a fight to the death. Who will throw in the towel first when an Immovable Force battle an Irresistible Force?
Prediction – Week 16 could determine the #1 seed for the Eastern Conference

FFA has Tiger Blood and Adonis DNA
APL – 195.53
PC – 40
Analysis – Talk about clichιs… Another team with another bare bones roster. I lack of depth will keep these immortals from #winning it all. The only bet Sheen would make on these guys is that they won’t go 0-16.
Prediction – Right now I have them on the top half of the bubble. Can they keep the CPU trolls from ruining their run to the play-offs?

Philadelphia Ice Bats Black and Red
APL – 195.39
PC – 39
Analysis – A small roster and a sprinkling of CPUs will keep them from top contention. These Ice Bats should end up black and blue after playing some of the better teams in the conference. A so-so pre-season will carry over into a so-so regular season.
Prediction – Another bubble team, but their bubble should be safe

People of Walmart
APL – 195.73
PC – 51
Analysis – Another solid team on the surface. A stocked roster, full depth chart and CEQ (at least on the open builds) tell me these guys have a solid game plan. Their scrim losses appear to be tactics test with a sister team. Their true test will be in an unfortunate tourney draw. A well played game will prove they’re not mullet headed red necks, but a force to be reckoned with in the East.
Prediction – These bargain hunters appear to be a top tier team and will finish in the top 3 in the East

Colonial Zoners
APL – 189.43
PC – 50
Analysis – This roster of mostly level one dots has pulled off a good pre-season, but the quality of competition is questionable. Their success tells me they have a good game plan in place, but their lower leveled dots will have trouble executing it against fully boosted teams.
Prediction – Right now I gotta give them some props based on their record. I say they are a second tier team and could do better when/if they boost this season. They make it to the play-offs, but slow building would mean an early exit for the Zoners

Bortsville Mystery Nerf
APL – 193.41
PC – 39
Analysis – The only mystery I see here is how far a team can go with no depth at any skill positions. Only one QB, one HB and one FB on the depth chart tells me that if a game starts going in the wrong direction morale and fatigue are going to keep this team from being able to fight back.
Prediction – Despite their three wins so far I see this team struggling in the long run to make the play-offs

Samba Vikings
APL – 199.78
PC – 50
Analysis – These guys have raped and pillaged their way to a perfect record so far. Though they have a pretty full roster they still have some ones and twos at key positions. This is somewhat made up by the few sevens they have on roster, but they are mostly at non-crucial positions.
Prediction – They will continue their success in the regular season. They will be a second tier team and easily make the play-offs, but they title hopes will be sacked this season

Show Me Your TDs
CPU owned team that should be a cake walk for all opponents

Odessa "MOJO" Panthers
CPU owned team that should be a cake walk for all opponents

Rochester Vendetta
APL – 172.5
PC – 49 (8 human)
Analysis – A predominantly CPU team the will struggle to finish above .500 despite their 2-2 pre-season. This season the V on their logo will not stand for Victory.
Prediction – Will miss the play-offs

South Yorkshire Aftershocks
APL – 174
PC – 50 (2 human)
Analysis – Another CPU team that I can only assume is holding a spot for future competition. My only shock is that luker isn’t going to let this team compete in S21.
Prediction – Play-offs are not in the cards for these blokes

Very cool, can't wait to hear your take on my team

Appreciate the effort and time spent.

Thanks! Looking forward to the east write ups.

Awesome write up! Really appreciate you taking the time.

Well done

Hopefully the west doesn't get upset that I tried to add a little humor into the east write ups. I tried to add a little play on the teams names into each write up.

You guys want me to keep doing this?
