Thunder 'n' Lightning provides devastating run attack behind premier O-Line. Solid passing game. Primary passing target is HB Keith Rutler.

Defensive star is Tiag Omch. Sack machine. Bryn Price II is a strong CB.

5 Reading Armed Centaurs

Average passing game. HB Ronnie Dobbs does the primary rushing, with backup Roid Rage949 an able backup. Un-remarkable receiving core gains from run focused offense.

DE Dallas SACK MACHINE is one bright spot on the defense.

Sub par kick and punt returning, average kicking and punting teams.

Your defense is what lowered you. It can be worked around with a decent DC, but without any sample games to judge from I had to do some of the ranking from raw numbers and gut instincts.

BTW, I love the fact that your GM'd team has to spell out that it's named after a country.

Just you wait. The Russian Strelets defense wont be an issue. Green Gator knows how to run a team. We were unlucky in the shuffling but we are going to make the best of it. Its fine though. It is just a ranking of opinion and some things that you dont know about will stand out.

Perfect... I know I've done a good prediction if people get upset about it. ;-)

Out of curiosity where would you put yourself on this list if you could move yourself?

Thanks for the #2. Not so much thanks for spoiling where we throw to Though the sim looks to be changing so much next season, anyway!

Wow.

Yeah we have a deep roster. I do plan to move some on, but I dont want to neccesarily move on the lowest level guys. Some are good friends and good agents to me etc...

Not sure I like being no1 seed, but hopefully we can live up to the bill.
