Warrior General Games

Full disclosure: I am a first year owner, but have been here since season 1, day 19. I own the Burundi Hutu and my team is almost completely made of my players. I'm saying this because I don't fully know the ends and outs of what it takes to have a great team and yes, I am one of those guys.

That said, I ranked Lion Conference on what I believe to be the elements that create a good team (chemistry not included- everyone is basically the same). Also, all rankings are based on HUMAN players, not CPU. This is an interactive online game WITH OTHER PEOPLE so I IGNORED CPU players in considering depth and how good a team is. Due to this, a team may post a better record than where I put them, but through no real ability of their own or the players they recruited.

Without a game under our belts to see how good a team can gameplan, I have placed teams into categories instead of a simple 1 to 16 rundown. These categories have no set number and don't take into consideration anything other than my opinion (I don't have a fancy formula or numerical value attached to players- this leaves some breathing room for bad player builds, bad coaching, etc.). These teams are also in these categories in no particular order. Order will come later in the season. First I gave out awards to best units.

Some team awards (in some cases depth was considered):

Best QB: Johannesburg

Best RBs: Nigeria- have the depth, but Ethiopia has the best back

Best WRs: Katangas- depth and human

Best O-line: Mozambique- best starters, but could still use some depth

Best D-line: Johannesburg- DTs are nasty

Best LBs: Scottish- can't overlook that level 18 dude

Best Secondary: Nigeria- minor points off that best CB is CPU, but decent depth and players

Best K and P: Red Sea- too bad it's the best part of this team

Team that thinks they are better than they are: A.C.T.- no depth on the team to be any good

Laziest Team: River City- dude, go get some human players, all CPU D is weak

And now on to the Power Rankings:

Worst Teams- Teams in AA for a long time
Tijuana- no depth, almost all level 1s and 4s
River City- horrible offense, CPU defense
A.R.T.- no depth

Decent Teams- Teams that may be good with coaching
Oklahoma- Too many CPU players to be higher
Red Sea- See above
Band of- No real strength to the team
Katanga- Good depth, but holes in roster

Solid Teams- Playoff teams, but aren't really champion material
Cape Verde- Solid, but needs...SOMETHING to stand out
Burundi- O line will help until backups get better
Rhein- too many CPU players to be considered elite
Scottish- all human players means good negotiator
Ethiopia- wanted to put in elite, but too many CPU players
Nigeria- too many level 4s on depth chart to be elite
Beltway- decent depth, but lacking in some areas

Best Teams- Legitimate chance to win Lion Conference
Mozambique- Low level QB hurts, but solid all around otherwise
Johannesburg- depth everywhere and easily the favorite

Prediction-
Conference Champ- Johannesburg

Now let the debate begin:

Good list I agree with fairly well.

Sorry, just added beltway

That seems fair. Hard to tell who will do what come game day. Most of the teams at the top are solid.

So, considering your list goes downwards, does that mean the Bandits are the third ranked?

Seems low to me.

I can't wait to crush the Burundi Tutus

Hutu, Hutu
Not Tutsi, the other African tribe. Read a little, do some research about the region and tribes, then call me "Tutus".

By the way, just try and beat me.

I live in africa, so I would know. It was a reference to the ballet tutu... So Come Getsome Tutu...

Dude, your team doesn't even have a ROT or FS. Your team only has one SS and only three CBs, only two DEs, one C, one TE, and only three WRs. That doesn't include the fact that your team doesn't have anyone on special teams.

Reply back when your owner starts doing something intelligent.

Thanks for that felixtovar! There’s nothing like being an underdog in my opinion. You just give my guys an excuse to want to prove everyone wrong & whoop everyone’s ass!!!

You want to talk about the best back in the division you have to throw VJ Treonday into the mix!

I don't understand how you can make the assumptions that you have based on the fact that teams have still not filled their rosters and you have no idea what players builds are like and how they relate to a teams game plan. Clearly anyone could have posted the waffle you just posted up here.

Bring on the season and when the ORCAs come rolling round get your ass ready for a pounding!

Nuff said.

About your RB, I can't make any conclusion on him since he was never a featured back and looks, from his stats, to be a scat back. Even when he did rush he only average 2.4 ypc while T Light (Ethiopian back) got 3.3 ypc.

In regard to builds and game plan:

You seem to be the expert, why don't you post your own power rankings?

never claimed to be an expert! As for power rankings before one snap has been played in a new division, waste of time!

That's weird, for such an 'arbitrary' subject and thread, you seem to be posting a lot.

Why so upset guy? Don't worry you don't have to convince the rest of the division how great your team is, we believe you.

Zulu > Lion Conference
