Had some free time decided to do this.
1: Helsinki Red Raiders. They made some serious offseason moves and put together what looks like a powerful team on both the O and the D. Has great depth at everything except LB and FS. As long as their game planning is strong Helsinki should make a run
2: USAORG Dragons. Also made some good moves and brought together a serious looking D. They also have put together a sold O. Possible weakness is the backups on the O line. D is solid at the starter and backup positions.
3: St. Petersburg Red tide. Had some high level FAs sign on board in the offseason. Their O looks to be even more explosive then last year. The D has a strong corps of LBs, DTs and CBs. Strong at the WR position weak at the safety spot.
4: Krakow Gutter Runners. Has put together a very solid team on both the O and D. Look for them to be a team that is going to try to control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Glaring weakness is their SS. Also weak at the backup positions for LB and O line.
5: Lefkada Ionian Sea Hawks. Offensive does not look potent on paper, due to their low lvl o line, but the pass and catch that PJ and Hayes play will put up points. D looks solid minus the LB depth. Like i said before o line is a slight weakness.
6: Grid Iron Valor. Decent looking offense but has some low lvls on the o line. D looks solid in the run game but weakness appears to be the secondary. Backups on D may hurt the Valor in gut check games.
7: Samarkand Wolverines. Explosive Offense but weak D. Samarkand is going to score points but the problem is their D stopping teams from scoring points.
8: Stockholm Vikings. The only team in my top 8 that was not in EEA1 zeta last year. Looks to have a decent team but with a few glaring weaknesses. Their CBs are too low to keep up with the big time passing games that this league sees. Their lines also appear to be a bit too low to handle the high lvls that some of the teams in the league have. Look for them to beat the bottom half of the conference and make the playoffs.
8: Transylvania Vampires. I have them tied for 8th because they put together a decently solid team but like the Vikings have some glaring weaknesses.
The rest of the teams are a weird mix of CPUs and partially gutted teams. Look for these 9 teams to be competing for the 8 playoffs spots.
Dont rip my head off if you dont like what I wrote. But i would love if people wrote their own opinions. If enough people make their own rankings we can compile a list.
