1 – IR x Brady, xxChildxPlease, MrTookYoShi (10-2) Bucs

Brady, on Brady, has been pretty much unstoppable. He has the best QB stats in the league and would probably win MVP comfortably in any other year. Add on the fact that ChildPlease is legitimately a top-5 user DL skill wise, and you have a very good line. One anonymous owner said: “Brady is probably the best QB in the league now that Abyss retired”. He might have to answer for the 29 point flooding he took from an Eagles line that appears shortly, but Brady will be favored to win in essentially every game in this playoffs.

2 – Hexied, SBG Boxing, WRNZO (7-2) Chiefs

Hexied is the most nuanced and most creative QB in the league. He has a plan of attack for every game, along with counters for defenses that think they can stop his first set of plays. There is a question with his availability, he has already missed a week because of suspension this season, which is the only reason this line isn’t #1.

3 – Ebok, Crazy Effects, Gabe (8-4) Eagles

Ebok is an elite QB and, on a team that has a QB with velocity abilities, he is a top-2 QB and he’s not 2. There are questions with the rest of the line, but Ebok is elite on both sides of the ball. Jalen Hurts is trash, though, and Gabe isn’t very refined at DC, so it’s on Ebok to win every game he plays these playoffs.

4 –  TXJamesSmith, AppleDanish, RogueApollo (12-0) Chargers

James, Apollo and Danish went 12-0 with elite numbers this season and there will likely be at least two pro bowlers/players of the year on this line. There are also huge strength of schedule concerns. One GM said: “James line is probably going to be at a disadvantage. They went 11-0 against the Dolphins, Packers, Bengals and Cowboys during the season, now they have to play the Chiefs in round one.”

5 –  IAmBeaste, BeefyChub, ClutchKing (9-3) Bucs

Elite QB with an elite offense. They should be good enough to win games through pure offense, but there are questions. Beaste struggled in numerous games at the end of the season playing against DB Fire 2, and he’s going to see a lot of that in these playoffs.

6 – Champ, Farah, Tiger (7-3) Chiefs

Champ is an elite QB. Farah is an elite WR, LB and DC. Tiger is an elite RB. This is one of the deepest lines in the league 1-3 and arguably the most talented line in the league, but this is also Champ and Farah in the playoffs so all bets are off.

7 – Hucci, Tmo, Willy (9-3) Eagles

I was told numerous times this season that “Hucci is struggling at QB”. If 9-3 is struggling, then I want to struggle too. Hucci is a great QB and he has two of the best skill players in the league on his line.

8 – UserBFlawless, Redwater, Brisket (8-4) Browns

People are going to call UserB biased for this, but I am not UserB and he had no effect on this ranking. UserB’s line is above TP and Woohdy’s line simply because the Browns’ playoffs chances are going to come down to the QB’s ability to win the game with Deshaun Watson. Teams are going to sell out to stop Chubb, and I have some faith that UserB is going to be able to throw the ball effectively when that happens. This line is also the deepest with Redwater and Brisket alongside UserB.

9 – TPBraves, Woohdy, Accountant (9-3) Browns

This line runs through Woohdy, and almost to a fault. Accountant is playing off-position at WR, and TP didn’t have much of a passing game outside of “quick cheese because they think we’re running”, according to one owner,  this season. The week 4 loss against Brady and the Bucs drops this line significantly in these rankings. The Browns lost the game 26-14 and TP went 0-4 with an interception.

10 – FIG, Smitty, Carnage (7-4) Packers

FIG is the breakout QB of this season, in my opinion. He’s shown himself to have a good, consistent offense that can win VFL games and Smitty is a great DL user. There are some questions about Carnage at DC, “he calls a lot of base cover 3” according to one GM, but FIG might be good enough to win anyway.

11 – LuckyDabs, F34r Painkiller, Jacc (5-6) Bengals

The jury will always be out on Lucky at QB, but F34r and Jacc are showing themselves as elite supporting pieces. F34r’s defense played very well against Koolaidz (whose line would be in the top-5 if the Bills were in) and Jacc is quickly becoming one of the most underrated WR/LBs in the league.

12 – AP Boys (8-4) Chargers

It’s a testament to the depth of this league that the 8-4 AP boys are the 12th ranked line. They played really well on the Cowboys, but they’ve never been ones to abuse the high bullet and you need to abuse the high bullet on the Chargers. If they can show themselves to be able to use the high bullet effectively, this could become the best line on the Chargers.

13 –  RCV20, Trey Demonz, NateCashMoney (4-0) Packers

This is probably the most interesting line in the league. They are 4-0 since RCV took over at QB. That 4-0 includes two big wins against the Browns, who they will be playing against in Round 1. Trey was 0-4 before RCV joined the line, so there are still some questions on this line.

14 – Sacrifice, Northzide, dfeetu (5-7) Bengals

Is Playoff Sac going to show himself this year? If Playoff Sac shows up, this line is set up to do work in the playoffs. If the Sac from weeks 1 and 2 shows up, the only work this line will be doing is packing for Cancun.

15 – Kxng x KIay, Paid Dough, Try LUV (5-6) Chiefs

The top ranked 3rd line in the league. Neither the offense or defense are refined, but they’re good enough to beat any other 3rd line in the league. That’s a HUGE bonus for the Chiefs, who can throw this line out against any team and have a chance at winning.

16 – Rytzo, RigsTime, GunTight (5-6) Packers

This line was on its way to being the league joke before Rytzo became a pretty good QB in weeks 3 and 4, including a game against Ebok’s line where Rytzo finished 18-22, with 231 yards, 3 tds and only 1 int. There was still a very bad game against the AP boys mixed in with his good weeks 3 & 4, but I think these guys have a chance to do something in the playoffs.

17 – Hiigh, IbProFam, T1Anime (6-6) Browns

This line shouldn’t be ranked this low, but there are major questions about this line. IbPro has a relatively poor 7.4 YPC with Nick Chubb, and Hiigh probably has not played enough QB in this Madden after not playing QB in seasons 6 and 7.

18-21 Remix o2, Dizzel50, JohnnyWheels (4-8) Chargers. Breesuss, Kuhrow, AceBoogs (4-8). Beachmode, CriticalTelos, RedHour (3-9). Explikcit, Kwam34MVP, CallMeeKyle (?-?).

Putting these lines together because I think they are all pretty similar. All four of these QBs are pretty inexperienced at the position, and there isn’t enough support on their lines to make up for that inexperience. Johnny is a good DC, but his DB fire 2 is pretty basic. Kuhrow and CriticalTelos are good players, but they’re probably being asked to do too much on their lines. Beachmode had some pretty good games at QB after he switched, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulled out a win in the playoffs.

With the first ever VFL play in game right around the corner, I wanted to take a look at who could potentially be in this game!

As I’m writing this the bills are in 7th with the Bengals one game behind them! Bengals play the buccaneers and the browns tonight, both could be losses for the Bengals.

While the bills already played their scheduled game against the browns and lost earlier this week, they also have the dolphins tonight who forfeited both their games yesterday. And could do the same tonight.

Packers are one game ahead of the bills and have the tiebreakers they play the chiefs and the dolphins so their playoff spot is looking pretty safe to me.

The play in game will be one game between the aforementioned seeds, one game, top line vs top line winner plays on, loser watches. This had been discussed for a majority of the season and a few players had mentioned their interest in this style of game! So with an owners vote staff decided to do a play in game. The owners of each team have until noon at Sunday to get the game in, however if a time is not decided before Thursday at 9 that is the defaulted game time! Let’s jump into the potential matchup

If I had to guess it will be “clamped by lucky” (6-5) on the season vs koolaids (10-2) this will probably be a solid matchup lucky seems to always make the playoffs no matter how his team starts. This season will be on his shoulders with the help of fear painkiller the self proclaimed “greatest RB of all time” this has been a solid duo since the trades happened to bring him to cincy, on the other side the bills will definitely throw koolaids , sixth mallard, and potential rookie of the year porkside. These guys as a line are now 9-0 together.

From my point of view, with the Bengals losing joe mixons abilities and the bills catching a load of steam as of late. I think the bills will beat the Bengals out of the playoffs and move forward!

Bucs

The Bucs are sitting kind of nice going into this week. No chance they miss playoffs. Brady had one hell of a week posting 15TD’s to 2INT’s and going 3-0 in the process. The war between him and Ebok might have been the best game of the year. Beaste had an average week posting a 2-1 record. However, 2-1 being an average week is a result that some teams would kill for. Beaste is primed to take another team to a SB run. Even with Abyss retiring this team is still alot of peoples favorite to win it all. With Beaste and Brady at QB I don’t disagree that it is a major possibility. Good Luck to these guys in the playoffs. I already know they will finish the season strong.

Chiefs

The KC Chiefs are already locks in the playoffs. Even with Hexied missing a week this team still found itself on the winning side this week. Having Hex back in the lineup will reinforce their position as one of the top seeds going into the playoffs. Champ is having a great season. Champ and Farah always find a way to get it done in the regular season. Getting Hexied on the squad in bidding may finally result in them winning it all. I look forward to our rematch with the self-proclaimed “goats” of the VFL.

Browns

I said this since the beginning of the season, Woohdy is the best RB in the VFL. His attitude may suck sometimes (which is a trend with RB’s), but the talent is there. He had a season MVP performance in one week. Posting godly numbers and cementing the Browns in the top 3. Woohdy did so well this past week that he kind of overshadowed his teammates who also had a decent week statistically. Both Redwater and IbPro were top 3 in rushing right along with Woohdy. The only difference is Woohdy went 3-0 and they both went 1-2. I don’t see this week being any different with Woohdy carrying this team into the playoffs. Getting Brisket and Accountant somewhere along the way sures up the Browns defense. Accountant is a terror on the line, w/o an ability, I can’t imagine what he will do with Myles. I still think this team will let Woohdy tote them into the playoffs but these are smart moves from Braves to sure up the defense headed into the playoffs.

Eagles

Here we are sitting at 15-12. To be fair, both me and Ebok have 6-3 (1 loss not at QB) records with Breesus’ 2-7 holding most of our Ls. I am surprised we are almost playoff eligible. Barring a catastrophic breakdown this week, we should make the playoffs. Ebok put on a show this week with his only loss coming to Brady. This firefight between the two reinvigorated Eboks claim as a top 3 QB in this league. He did that with no passing abilities as well. Ebok is firing down range with precision w/o abilities. While I (Hucci) have been struggling. I have been winning but not convincingly. I have been in this league 5 seasons and I have never had stud teammates. Thats the problem I have this season. I have such good teammates on my line and I just don’t know how to use them effectively. I have always had 500k players with me. I’ve been working in the lab to get my guys more involved so we will see how this week goes. Mo has been running a phenomenal defense I just have to pick it up on offense. As for Breesus’ line, the addition of Kuhrow hasn’t really paid off yet. Not his fault. Breesus just plays like he has a passing ability. While this team had a few slumps, I do know we will all show up playoff time (except Breesus). See y’all in the post season.

Chargers

The Chargers are almost playoff locks as well. TxJames is once again undefeated and in the MVP race. Unfortunately, MVP trophies don’t win SB trophies. I question the strength of schedule. Iron sharpens iron. If you go into the playoffs only playing average and below average lines all season, then you are going to get beat by good teams in the playoffs. It happened last year. Nice stats, but trophies are all that matters. This team will make the playoffs. Honestly though I wouldn’t fear playing TXJames line in the playoffs, I would fear the AP line. They are battle tested and always have great games against the best of competition this league has. I would rather play the other lines than the AP boys. Remix is an old head who is making his return to the league. His first game at QB didn’t really go bad or well. Decent stat line, it just didn’t result in a win. I look forward to seeing how Remix gets along in the new VFL. From my perspective, I’m happy to see Johnny in a postseason. He is a good owner; a good guy and he deserves it after having shit teams in the past. Best of luck to the Chargers heading into the playoffs.

TEAMS FIGHTING FOR PLAYOFFS SPOTS

(WILD CARDS)

Packers

Surprisingly, the Packers are not far off from locking themselves in a playoff spot. If they win out this week it could mean the Pack is playoff bound. Smitty has put together a little squad of hitters. Despite all the trades and other stuff, Smitty’s Pack is still almost .500. Fig and Smitty’s line have done well this season. Fig isn’t lighting up the scoreboard, but they are squeaking out some wins sitting at 6-3. The other line with Rytzo has a few wins as well sitting at 4-4. One of those wins is over me. At 4-4 he holds the key to this team’s playoffs hopes. Rytzo really likes 01 Trap. At this point in the season it’s gonna take more than that to get them over that hump. Hes gotta open the playbook up to compete in the playoffs. As for the other line, RCV20 came out and got a dub in his first game out. Jury is still out on whether his success will continue. The addition of Nate to the squad gives me alot of hope for this team. Nate is a great player and can help propel this team past the other teams on a playoff push.

Bengals

Lucky always seems to be in the hunt. Making moves and adjustments to set his team up for success. Barely sitting on the outside of a playoff spot that alot of teams are fighting over. His one game suspension this week may come back to haunt him. Lucky coming off a 3-0 week shows he’s finally hitting his stride on this team. Missing a game from one of your star players is tough. The other star QB Sacrifice has struggled this week posting a 1-2 record. I have no doubt Sac will get it together. Hes a good schemer. Maybe changing the gameplan would benefit him. Despite the 2-7 record for the season, Playoff Sac is built different. They just gotta get there first. The Bengals have one of the best RB rooms in the league besides the Browns. Fear, North and Telos are studs in the backfield. Just got to find the scheme to utilize them correctly. The 3rd QB Beachmode is 50/50 mostly. Sometimes he’s on and sometimes he’s completely off. Between him and Sac, one of them must step up and help push this team into the playoffs. I want that Lucky matchup.

Bills

I’m kind of surprised that Koolaid’s squad is questionable for playoffs.

Inconsistency at QB has been their biggest downfall. It’s the Bills and Josh Allen. One of the best QB’s in the game. I don’t understand how you struggle with Allen at QB. The Tglass experiment failed the Bills and maybe their playoff hopes. I’m not saying they are out because I expect Koolaidz to always be in the playoffs. But they have to pick it up if that’s going to happen. The Tglass experiment showed the difference between the NFL and AFL. His 0-6 record didn’t help this squad at all. With Shady stepping in at QB I expect this week to go alot better for the Bills. Shady may be the difference in them making playoffs or not. Shady makes good reads so I expect a good week from him. The Bills have gotten both good and bad from the AFL this season. Tglass didn’t pan out but Porkside has shown to be a hidden gem from the AFL. Koolaidz is having a great season as usual. However, for this team to compete in the offs the rest of the QB’s need to step it up.

Dolphins

The Dolphins have been a struggle bus this season. The expectations of Cruce have kind of fallen short of what we thought. Cruce is a great player but when you play with abilities it’s tough to switch to no abilities. Not only switch to no abilities but switch to a lefty with no abilities. While the Dolphins have the speed, they don’t have the wins. Verts has shown up in his first season posting a 6-2 record. Verts has played well accounting for 6 of the teams 10 wins. He has gotten more wins than the other 2 QB’s combined. That’s tragic. While the Dolphins are still struggling to find a 3rd QB that can win, I feel like it’s too late in the season. Their season might be over. On paper this team looked OK at the beginning, but the team looks completely different than the team they started with. While I don’t know if they are eliminated completely yet. This week must be all dubs for them to have a chance.

Cowboys

Ohio had a formidable squad coming into the season. Getting Drock and the AP line. This team looked easily .500. With the GM retiring and none of the QB/s really doing well this season besides the AP line. I think this team has given up on this season. Trading away the AP line and getting T1 Anime just to trade him away shows that. Ohio has always been a good owner but everyone has an off season. I expect him to return next season with better management moves to be better next season.

This is gonna be a list of something I wanna see from each team heading into week 2. I will start in order from top to bottom by records from week 1.

Chiefs – For me I wanna see Champ line play better competition. In week 1 they played lines that went a combined 1-8. looking at the schedules for week 2 it looks like they are playing weaker competition again. League complains about the so called top QBs who team up together but I think its more so they don’t play the other top lines in the regular season. so I’m looking to see Champ and his line play better competition in the regular season.

Bucs  – Very similar to Chiefs I wanna see Beaste line up against leagues better lines. Played a little better competition then Champs line but still played against lines that went 3-6. I’m looking to see Beaste vs Champ or Beaste vs Ebok. Those are the games the people in the league look forward to seeing. Also I would like to see Abyss do better then 1-2 this upcoming week. With a 21 million dollar salary there comes expectations and 1-2 every week isn’t going to cut it.

Eagles – How about we get the ball to Northzide. North in seasons 2-7 he was averaging 157 carries per season and this season he is on pace to get 68 carries LMFAO. Breesus needs to understand he is terrible at QB and this isn’t Madden 22 where you can run around with Lamar and Kyler Murray with escape artist and look decent. Play simple mistake free football and give the ball to the all time VFL leading rusher. It sounds like a simple concept but I am uncertain if Breesus can understand common sense.

Browns  – Need to see Highwalker line improve in week 2. His stat line isn’t great at QB which isn’t the big deal its the fact his running back has less carries then 2 other running backs in the league that are not Browns RBs. From the stats its seems like Highwalker is the worst of the Browns QBs when it comes getting the ball to his running back. When you select a team like the Browns your goal is to get the ball to Nick Chubb or Kareem Hunt whenever they are on the field. Ibprofam was tied for 2nd in yards per carry so lets get that man the rock.

Chargers – Can the other 2 lines pick up the slack? James Smith line went 3-0 in week 1 and played some week competition but I can’t really blame them with the way the roster is constructed. Someone on the roster needs to start picking up some wins outside of James and his line. With the addition of Blunkey who went 2-1 last week in Buffalo I’m sure they hope he can continue to keep it up going at least 2-1 on a week to week basis. In order for the Chargers to become at better team someone else has to step it up.

Dolphins – Will Brisket and Accountant get a win in week 2. That’s 21 million in cap on one line and a 0-3 start isn’t ideal. I know neither of them are QBs but at some point you got to figure out a way to get a W. Both have experience being DCs so you got to put your head and skills together and figure out a way to pull out a win. 1 win takes your team from 4-5 to 5-4. I’m interested to see how they do this week compared to week 1.

Bills – I think its safe to say I’m ready to see the Debut of Tglass19 at the NFL level in week 2. We seen him dominate at the AFL level in week 1 but we are ready to see what he can do at the NFL level. My first time seeing Tglass play was in a Youtube video in a very competitive Madden Franchise vs competitive Madden play Kmac. Tglass lost the game by 3 but you could tell right away this guy was a smart Madden player. Coming into the team play scene there are always question marks for 1v1 Madden players making the jump but I Tglass has high expectations heading into Week 2. Will he sink or swim?

Cowboys – Looking to see what the 3rd line can do. In week 1 the Cowboys line 3 went 0-3 while the other 2 lines went 2-1 which I would say is a total shock to most people. Cowboys owner Mr Ohio picked up a new QB Draco for his 3rd line after clear struggles from Sir Bottomis in week 1. Draco put up some solid numbers in week one in the AFL with 6 touchdowns and 5 interception with also 140 rushing yards, Just 1 win in at the NFL level this would would be a step in the right direction for the Cowboys if the other 2 lines can win 4 games again.

Packers – Need to see better products from the 500k army. F34r is the only player on this roster who didn’t cost 500k. Its unrealistic to ask him to carry this team on his shoulder by himself so with that I need more productions from the other 6 roster players and management.

Bengals – Its a very simple here in Cincy. Lucky needs to be better no excuses. All off season he talked about how he wanted smoke from line 1s and when he played 3 line 1s according to records in week 1 his line got outscored 72-42 losing by a average of 10 points per game. Not to mention Lucky is a self proclaimed top 3 QB within the league who gave up his QB spot in the Super bowl to someone who went 1-2 in week 1. Until Lucky starts winning I think we should mute him in general chat ( seriously joking ).

Cowboys

We got the Cowboys next. Led by MrOhio and BloodyPStain. Ohio is a veteran owner who knows how to manage a team. I just got two questions for management. Why the Cowboys? Dak is trash and hard to use because of his windup. Also why leave so much money on the table. Being a veteran owner I’m sure Ohio has good reasoning. Leaving 26 mill on the table just seems like you short changed yourself. I’ve never been an owner so I don’t know the motive behind it. Anyways Ohio has assembled an ok roster over there in Dallas. Ohio himself has 61 career sacks in 5 seasons which is pretty good for a DL. However this season he is switching to DB which he has no stats for so I’m assuming he hasn’t played a season at the position. Ohio is always a good runner. Not astronomical stats but he will get the job done when set up with good runs. He went 4-4 last season but only amassed 183 yards on the ground. Idk if that was because of FFs or what. I expect more yardage from him this season. On to his GM, Bloody. Honestly I’m gonna be biased when talking about Bloody. Since being in the VFL through 5-6 seasons, Bloody is still one of my favorite teammates I’ve had. As my teammate he was always looking to play, wasn’t scared to challenge himself at different positions, was open to learn new defenses, helped me lab late into the night and he even practiced adjustments after i suggested it. Super easy guy to get along with and great personality. Not only is he a great teammate he is a solid player as well. In 5 seasons Bloody has 3800 rec yards, 38 TDS and 46 sacks. Not astronomical numbers but with his willingness to learn, he could double that with the right supporting cast behind him. He will be a good GM because of his attitude. Next up we got DRock at QB for 9 mil. Drock always has a unique scheme that hinges on fast paced offense and a lot of quick snaps. Drock posted a 7W-5L record last season with 1500 yards and 13TDs – 13INTS. Not the best ratio passing wise but a good record nonetheless. Through 4 seasons at QB Drock has always had around the same ratio. At 9mil he is a good pickup since they needed a QB. The next QB is Sir Bottomis. I’ve never watched Bottomis play but i know before this season he had played with the same group for quite a while. Was that holding him back? Not creating a narrative but maybe we will see better numbers out of him this season. Because in 4 seasons at QB he really hasn’t had a breakout season. Last season he went 5W-5L with 21TDs and 22INTS. With the game change to 23 you got to take those stat lines with a grain of salt. Spending 1 mil to get a 5-5 Qb is a steal in my opinion. Also who knows how close those 5 losses were. Next up we got Swift of the AP boys. Swift didn’t have the best record last season at 5W-7L but ill be honest I watched a lot of their games and they had a chance in 75% of those losses. They were a tough outing for a lot of teams last season. Swift passed for 16TD-12INTS with just under 2000 yards. He also threw 4TDS-0INTS in the playoffs. So it seems like they hit a stride at the end of the season. Utah the AP line WR accounted for 1775 yards of Swifts offense. But he has to get better on the DL only accounting for 1 sack all season. Vermont the RB of the AP line has yet to hit his full stride at RB. He hasn’t eclipsed 600 yards in a season yet. I expect to see substantially better numbers from the AP line. They hit some late momentum and I think it will carry over. They get better every season according to the stats. As for the rest of the team Doc and ProjectAutoBaby. I don’t know much about either. I have played with Doc and he is pretty solid. Maybe Ohio has some gems here. Overall this team is decent. I still question leaving the money on the table. The Cowboys have some solid lines with Drock and the AP Line. I expect them to be around .500 but I honestly hope they prove me wrong by doing even better.

Chargers

Just like with my last article I am going to be a bit bias. Chargers have JohnnyWheels as an Owner. Johnny is a good advocate for this league. Johnny is a great personality and keeps the games fun even if your not winning. Wholesome guy and great teammate. As for his GM Gmen he is a sponge in this league. Learning all he can from other Qbs. We need more of that in this league. He posted 11TD-11INT last season. While he didn’t get much in the win category. I’m sure the stats don’t tell the full story of the games. I expect him to do much better this season. Especially with Johnny stealing the Chargers at 12.5. Boy what a steal that was. I don’t understand how he got them so low. Maybe people weren’t paying attention during the bidding idk. So not only did Johnny get the Chargers but he also got the season 7 league MVP. TxJamesSmithTx. TxJames posted 30TDs-7INTS with an 11W-1L record. A phenomenal season for a QB in the VFL. I haven’t watched many of his games but I have heard a lot. Some say he is good and some say otherwise. Prior to this past season he is never had a season close to what he did this season. Posting subpar numbers in previous seasons. I guess time will tell if he is a one hit wonder or not. His runningmate and RB, AppleDanish has posted 1400 yards in 2 seasons. Which is a pretty strong showing for a running back. He also has 45 TFLS, 8 Sacks and 11 INTS in 2 Seasons. He is solid on both offense and defense. Next is Rogue Apollo which is the WR/DL of TXJames line. Rogue has some pretty good numbers. Posting 3700 yards and 44 TDs in 2 seasons. Those are well above average numbers for a receiver. This line as a collective is solid and can get you wins with the substantial numbers they put up. Id still like to see this line play tougher lines so they can shake that image that they don’t play good lines. On Johnnys team this should be line 1 and should be getting games against other line 1s. I only go off hearsay cause i never watched them play and this league can be a bit dramatic sometimes. So hopefully they take this as motivation to whip everyone’s ass. As for the rest of the team, there are no stats for most of them. I’ve played against Victis and he is pretty good. That was a good pickup. I know Dizzel plays with GMen and they have chemistry so they can lab and learn together. As for Primetime I have no information on him. Maybe Johnny got a hidden gem. With the MVP I expect the Chargers to be in the playoffs. Johnny had a tough go last season but these bidding moves definitely will bring them closer to contending. As Gmen learns the QB position more and more I anticipate he will account for at least 6 wins this season. I wish the best for Johnny and his Chargers this season and I hope to see them in the playoffs.

Buccaneers

Some might say this is the best QB room in the league. I would have to agree with that. While others might say that is meaningless if you are surrounded by 500k players. I would have to disagree with that. The knowledge that 3 top-end QB’s bring to the table is game-changing. Most great QB’s can play both sides of the ball and know every position. I’ll use myself as an example. I play both H2H and WL. I can run defense better than 3/4th of this league. (Open invitation in H2H if you think I’m wrong) I play against the meta every weekend. There are very few players in this league that match my defensive IQ because of how much H2H/WL/Squads I’ve played. Players like Realest(Now people can say oh Realest isn’t a QB and those same people can’t win 21 games of WL, Realest can.), Abyss, Hexied, Ebok, Cruce and Brady are on that short list of players that have the equivalent experience. That makes them such well rounded players on both sides. They have that IQ. They have played the meta defenses and have reps against almost any defense you can throw at them. They can teach these 500k players where the holes are or why this action does this to a defense and so forth and so on. The overall competitive experience these 3 QB’s bring to the table rivals any QB room in this league. Example, I was just in a party with Brady and North a couple weeks ago while they were labbing dollar. How many QB’s in this league are labbing dollar with friends? He labs it so he can understand it. That makes a great QB. Did I mention that there are 3 of them? 3 different QB’s could be labbing and figuring defense/schemes things out. Not just 3 QB’s, 3 great QB’s. 1 of which is arguably one of the best QB’s in league history, Abyss. Coming off an MVP worthy performance (again) and winning QBOTY (again). He’s the 2-time MVP, 3 time LBOTY and 3 time QBOTY. Despite not winning the MVP, Abyss put up phenomenal numbers at QB. Posting a 9-3 record with 36 TDS to 9 INTS. Most people thought he should’ve won MVP based on strength of schedule. Abyss plays anyone, anytime. Abyss is gonna be a threat at QB every time he steps on the field. He’s always going to have a scheme that nobody else has. From his normal passing scheme to his high point passing scheme, Abyss’ offense will always be top tier. He also got LBOTY which means he’s a threat at user in the middle. Next up we got Brady. Brady has had two good seasons in the last 4 seasons. 2 being at QB. He took off a season to play RB and I guess we will see how he transitions back into a QB role this season. The other season he had at QB wasn’t that great. So 2 great seasons and 2 mediocre seasons. His last winning season at QB he went 10-2 with 26TD-16INTS. So while the IQ is there, he isn’t immune to mistakes. I still think Brady is a top tier QB in this league and I expect him to have a great comeback SZN. Next up we got Beaste. Beaste’s last season was a good outing posting a 7W-4L record and 14TDs-6INTS. So we know Beaste can play QB in 23. I say 23 because it’s very different than 22. Beaste is an old head who won 2 SB’s back in the LeagueArena days. Abyss made a deep run in the playoffs so I expect no less from this team. On to the RB position. They selected Clutch, Wales and ChildPlease. Of the 3, none of them have had a 600+ yard rushing season at RB in the last 5 Seasons. Clutch did have a 700+ rec yard season. So he is one of the better receiving backs in the league. Not that this team runs the ball a lot. So I don’t expect large numbers from them this season as well. On to WR. Crazy Effectz, Gamegreen and Beefy. Crazy didn’t have the greatest season last season posting only 700 receiving yards, but the previous season he posted 1900 rec yards with 21 TDS and also won a SB. I expect big numbers from Crazy with a top end QB throwing him the ball. Beefy is Beaste kin so I’m sure he will be on Beaste’s line. Beefy did have some great seasons at DL back in the day. Amassing 23 sacks in two different seasons. The chemistry that comes along with people you know IRL is unmatched. I expect these two to get dubs together. The lowlight at receiver (or what most people assume would be) is Gamegreen. In my opionion this was a smart move. Nobody reads defenses like a QB. Getting a former QB at receiver is a smart move when trying to attack the defense with a user receiver. They know where the holes are in the defense based on the corner and safety movement. All in all this QB room is phenomenal. 3 great leaders at QB with a tremendous amount of SB experience. Highpoints got patched but Mike Evans is Mike Evans. These guys have a perfect mix of high point and normal passing. I expect these guys to be a terror in the league. As long as the supporting cast can play defense this team will stay in contention from week 1 till the SB.

Chiefs

Up next we got the Chiefs. Led by owner Champ and GM Hexied. Honestly this might be a short one because of the unknowns going with this team. Not a lot of info out there about Dexi, KingKlay, PaidDough or Try Luv. So let’s talk about what we do know. Champ pairing with Hexied is kind of killer for real. Champ is a veteran owner who only requires one thing to get wins, Farah. Farah and Champ have been together since I’ve been in the league and they are always a tough matchup for anyone. Together they amassed an 8W-3L record last season on the Chargers. Champ threw 19TDS – 6INTS and 1900 Yards. 19 of those TDS went to Farah at WR. As a duo they are prolific in the passing game with few pairs even coming close to rivaling them in this league. I don’t expect that to change in season 8. Next up we got Hexied. I’ve known Hexied for awhile. We’ve played MUT together or against each other for the last few years. Hex came in hot with the shit talk and backed it up by making it to the SB. Hex is a great player. He is sometimes overly toxic but he is young. Maturity is just on the horizon for him. He has the talent to be one of the best QB’s this league has ever seen. He is looking to back up all the shit talk again this season. I don’t expect any less from Hex. He is definitely a top tier QB. Sometimes the immaturity doesn’t mesh well with the team around you so we will see how that pans out. Most people don’t give a damn if they are winning. Hexied posted 15TD-7INTS in his debut season. I expect a lot better numbers this season as he gets more comfortable in the VFL setting. Up next we got UngluedTiger. I don’t know if they are on the same line but pairing two toxic people together sounds explosive. A lot of mumblings around the league that Tiger is toxic and is not easy to get along with. Idk how that will play out between management and Tiger but I will be watching that for sure. Aside from the toxicity, Tiger has posted 3 great seasons at RB with two of those seasons hitting over 1000 yards rushing. He has 35 Rushing TDs in 3 seasons. Wow. That’s pretty freaking good. Kind of shocked by those numbers. Amazing numbers but tie that in with the toxic teammate trait is probably why he went so low. Is the toxicity a tactic to keep the price down? IDK. Next we got WRNZO. He was on Hex line last season and he put up pretty solid numbers for the first time in his VFL career. He got 718 Yards and 10TDS on the ground to go along with 9.7 yards per carry. WRNZO had a breakout season. I dont expect him to get much higher than that season just because the Chiefs team as a whole loves to pass. Great back but he will probably be more utilized in the passing game. Dexi and King Klay are Hexied’s MUT homies. If we can take anything from last season it’s dont count out the MUT players. Me being one of the MUT players as well. I know there are some really good team play players in MUT. I cant speak for Dexi or Klay because I’ve never played with them or against them. Most MUT players are hip with the meta defenses and cheesy offenses which is why the league has seen more Spinner/DB fire these last couple seasons. Jury is still out on whether Klay and Dexi can transition to regs team play. As for Paid Dough and Try Luv. There aren’t any stats for either so I dont have much to go off of in their realm. If they are coachable I expect Champ, Hex and Farah to have them ready for the season opener. All in all, I expect this team to be competitive and be in the top 3 of the Power Rankings all season. They have built a really good squad over here. Full of toxicness but also full of game to back it up. Once again another great season ahead for the Chiefs under Champs leadership.
