Owner Team Bidding Rankings by Realest260

This ranking is my opinion on how owners did in the team bidding.   1) JohnnyWheels ( Chargers 12.5 Million )  - I think Johnny did the best job in the season 8 team bidding. In my opinion the Chargers are the 2nd best team in Madden after the roster reset. Johnny easily stole the show by only spending 12.5 million the Chargers while 5 other madden teams went for more. Johnny struck gold early in the team bidding and walked away with one of the best teams on the game. In the past Johnny has struggled to keep some of the leagues " top players " on his roster. I'm wondering if him having the Chargers will changed people opinion of Johnny this upcoming season. Best of luck buddy.   2) Mallard ( Bills 15 Million ) - Very simple Mallard got the best team on Madden. Josh Allen is a top 3 QB on Madden when it comes to abilities, size, speed and throw power. Not only that but Buffalo easily has the best defense on Madden. Bills defense has to be every defensive coordinators dream which is to play with a team with abilities everywhere in the secondary. If the Bills don't have the fewest team points allowed this season everyone on the team should consider not playing again! Great pick by Mallard.   3 ) Ebok ( Eagles 1 Million ) - I was waiting for someone to throw 1 mil on the Eagles because they are worth it.  Eagles are fast on both sides of the ball and are very well rounded. Hurts may not have good passing abilities but he is a great runner with the fast break where you can really do some things in the running game. They have a very good WR core with a solid running back and a strong offensive line. On the defensive side they have at least 6 guys who you can rotate on the defensive line ill also have some DB's with speed led by Darius " Big Play " Slay. Ebok fresh off a Super Bowl will be able to have 39 million in cap space headed into the player bidding.   4) Champ ( Chiefs 16 Million ) - This made a lot of scene for Champ to spend a lot of money on the a team like KC. I feel as if the Chiefs have the toughest offense to go against in Madden. It all starts with Mahomes and Kelce just like you watch every Sunday. Mahomes unlike last Madden is easily a top 5 QB on Madden with good passing abilities and a rocket arm. Kelce might be the Madden swiss arm knife when it comes to being all around player. You can leave him lined up at TE but you can also split him out at WR where he can cause a lot of issues when it comes to a size matchup. Then you throwing MVS , Mecole Hardman , Toney and your got yourself a Nightmare on Elm Street. Chiefs defense is pretty mid outside of Chris Jones but who needs defense when you got that offense.   5) Smitty ( Packers 16 Million ) - I loved Smitty going out and putting up the big bucks for a team like Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers is the 2nd best QB on Madden which make them so appealing. Packers are just very balanced every on both sides of the ball. I think it was very important for Smitty to go out there and get one of the best teams Madden has to offer.   6) Beaste ( Bucs 16 Million ) - I think this was a slight reach for the Bucs when the Chargers went for 12.5 million and the Chargers are a better Madden team. One thing I can say for sure is Tom Brady is the best Madden quarterback. Set feet lead , fearless and hot route master is a QBs dream come true. Then you throw in the likes of Mike Evans , Chris Godwin , Julio Jones which cause a lot of issues. With the reset it does help the Bucs defensively but offensive they have lost 2 of their top offensive lineman because of a glitch in superstar KO. For Beaste he will be praying for some help from EA hoping to get those players back. I would put Beaste a spot lower but they have Tom Brady.   7) TP Braves ( Browns 1 Million ) - 2 words... Nick Chubb , that's all the really needs to be said. Nick Chubb caused a lot of fits around the league last season and I don't see much of that changing headed into season 8. I don't think it's very important that they spend money on the running back position this season in the bidding but they have the cap to do so. Browns cause issues in Madden because they can take the clock with the running game and have Myles Garrett who might be the best pass rusher on Madden which can really limit the other teams offense with a short amount of time to score. If you're a top RB in the bidding you should be getting in touch with the Browns management looking for a tryout.   8) Lucky ( Bengals 15.5 Million ) - Bengals are the worst best team on Madden if you know what I mean. Joe Burrow has most of the good passing abilities so it makes the team a big threat, They do have JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins along with Joe Mixon in the backfield which gives them ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball but the defense to me is just mid. They have one good pass rusher but no abilities and Jessie Bates but thats it defensively. If you're gonna spend 15.5 million on the Bengals you might as well have went for Chargers , Bills , Packers , Bucs.   9) Mr Ohio ( Cowboys 1 Million ) - Cowboys are just a super mid team to me. Dak stinks , WR play makers aren't the best , defense is a better version of the Bengals. Diggs is really good and so is Parsons. But the Dak is just makes their offense very limited. If don't have a passing abilities you need to be good running abilities or you need to be fast like Justin Fields. I would have spent 1.5 million on the Ravens or just went with 49ers who are a more well rounded team.   10) BHedden ( Dolphins 1 Million ) - Dolphins to me are like Dallas but with speed everywhere. I think Dallas is a better choice than the Dolphins due to Dak having better throw power than Tua and Dallas being better defensively. Much like Mr Ohio I think Bhedden should have just spent 1.5 million on Ravens or spent 1 million on the 49ers who are simply a more well rounded team than the Dolphins.

Top 20 players Season 7 (15-11)

This is opinionated and purely off of personal experience and statistics in season 7

# 15

Northsidez

RB
Car:242
YRDs:1591
TDs:21
—————–
DL
TFL: 21
Sacks:10


Here at number 15 we have Northsides. Not only did he pilot Nick Chubb one of the most broken players in the league he also was piloting Myles Garret who is also one of the most broken players in the game. Finishing 3rd in rushing yards with a bit more than 1500 yards with a low YPC 6.6 he did lead the league in TDs. On the flip side controlling garret was not as successful only racking up 10 sacks with one of the most prolific pass rushers in the league. Which is why he ended up in the bottom half of this list none the less still deserving a top 20 spot. Playing hard on a run only team and still succeeding in that category is not easy. Regardless of the player you are piloting. Congrats to northsides for making the top 20

# 14

Farah En fuego

Rec:78
YRDs: 1816
TDs: 19
—————-
Ints: 6
DTds:2

Farah was one of the Stronger Play callers in the league this season although his statistics were not chart breaking. He was a major factor for his lines Ws. Finishing the season with a 8-4 record which is better than a lot of other players in the league. Delivering scheme after scheme to make that record come to pass. This is a major factor on why Farah has found himself on the top 20 along with the other talented players in the league.

#13

Redwater

REC:127
Yrds:3098
Rac:956
TDs:34
————————-
TFL: 45
Sacks: 14



Redwater was apart of one of the highest scoring offenses in the league. Putting up an impressive stat line in season 7. Leading the league in Receiving yards and receiving TDs and Rac. His defensive numbers were mediocre with a high number of TFL and an ok number of sacks. The influence was clearly more on the offensive side. Being the number one receiver in the league made Red a clear lock for the top 20 of season 7.

#12

Realest

Car:80
Yrds:673
TDs:10
YPC:8.4
————————-
TFL: 20
Scks:4.5
Ints:11
Dtds: 1





Realest has made this list mainly on a defensive play caller but on top of that realest had a decent season. Finishing the year top 10 in rushing TDs which does say a lot considering he was in one of the most pass heavy offenses in the league. As well making the most of every carry opportunity producing an 8.4 ypc average which is solid amongst other RBs. On the other side of the ball, he gathers 11 ints which is a strong showing. Having a lockdown defense is the main reason we are here talking about realest. Showing he is the #1 DC in the league by putting on a show in the Superbowl for all who were watching. Shutting down the high point throwing GB packers in multiple games. As well as backing up all the shit talk that was had in chat. 

#11

King Champ

%: 58
Yrds: 1986
Tds: 19
ints: 6
———————–
TFL:14
ints:9
DTDs:4

Champ had a strong season with the chargers helping his team finish with the best record in the league. Picking up a Gm spot as well as taking a QB spot he had a outstanding season with 19 TDs and a single digit 6 ints. The chargers were a well fit for champ after picking up his go to receiver Farah the season started off fantastic for champ and ended with a all in all strong season. Look for champ to follow up his season 7 performance with another similar season in season 8 after taking ownership.

Season 8 Owners Ranking

In this article I will be ranking owners from season 8. The ranking will take experience, success on and off the field and player knowledge all into consideration.

#10

Johnny Wheels

Johnny wheels has yet to prove himself as a solid owner. His first season as management he was GM for the 49ers 2 seasons ago finished last in the league that season. Last season Johnny tried his luck at ownership, won the eagles in the team bidding, selected Blunkey as his GM which may have been his downfall, but none the less still finished at the bottom of the league. Not even in competition finishing the season with only 6 wins. Although Johnny put together a solid team in the bidding, many of those players did not want to stay in Philly. This has to be a main concern heading into the season for Johnny closing in on the team and player bidding. Johnny needs to find and produce a competitive season this year or his ownership opportunities may end early. It all has to start by selecting a solid GM that can invite and recruit good talent that wants to be there.

NEEDS TO SUCCEED

  • Strong GM
  • Amazing player management


In my opinion, Johnny is on the hot seat this season and must find a way to be competitive if he wishes to contiune owning a team in this league.

#9

SixthMallard

Mallard is a rookie owner at the NFL level but has experience running a team from his time last season as the owner of the AFL Packers. He is a strong new owner who looks to build a solid reputation coming into his year one of ownership. With bidding for both players and owners around the corner it will be interesting to see what he can bring to the table in the NFL. What players he brings with him to the next level, or will he gather players from the player pool we have seen. 

I had a quick conversation with mallard to see how he felt about becoming an owner at the NFL level:

He stated “I’m excited for it. I had fun as AFL owner last season, and I’m looking forward to a new challenge in this one. While last year was really all about getting guys, really anyone, to play games, this season is going to be about finding the right line ups and making sure the best players are playing every game every night out.”

I also asked him how he felt he would rank amongst the other owners being a new owner.

He said “I think I’ll likely start off pretty low, I keep a pretty low profile in chat and I don’t think too many people know me, but I think my team will speak for itself. I think I’ll finish around the middle of the pack, make the playoffs, and have at least one good playoff series.”

I asked him as well how he felt the transition from afl will go he said “I think the transition will go well, but something unexpected can always pop up and I just want to be ready for anything.”

Overall Mallard is looking for a good start as rookie owner and as long as he does not have locker room issues it is very possible for him to finish in the top half of the league.

#8

FYCSmitty

Smitty is a veteran all the way back to the league arena days. He has vast experience in regular season and playoff games. Has had ownership experience and player knowledge of most players around the league. The biggest concern will be his play at QB. But other than his on field play a major highlight for Smitty will be his player pool. With a lot of newer faces around the league it will be interesting to see his bidding class and team selection in the coming days. It’s not hard to believe Smitty can have a solid season in season 8 being that he is a vet of the league but is still going to be an owner to keep an eye on during the bidding. Few owners come in without a plan and I’m sure he is no exception. A lot will be said in the team bidding to see were this owner will land in the overall ranking of things as well as player interest to his team. 

#7

BHedden

THE GRITTY, Bhedden comes in at #7. For the main reason that he is a new owner but in the short time Bhedden has been in the league he has accomplished a lot.  Including to being a GM, as well as taking staff. He looks to broaden that resume with a strong season of ownership. In doing so he will need a strong strong supporting cast and GM. Which sources say the GM he is selecting is not bad by any means. Beyond management BHedden will need to make sure to make sure to secure a strong team and couple that with strong QBs in bidding is the best way to start strong. It will be a lot easier for a newer owner to recruit top players if he has a strong team. In my opinion Bheddens season starts there. Bhedden in my opinion is a very capable owner and a great guy who will be able to handle players with out a petty or overly aggressive temperament. The only concern I have for him as an owner is getting player to want to play for a new owner. As well as his on the field abilities a lot of ownership is going to have 2 QBs in management which if Bhedden does not take a QB spot will make it more important to have a strong player draft. His path through the waters is going to be tough but doable this is not the strongest season of other owners so his shot is solid. 

#6

TP BRAVES

TP had a bit of a rough season 7 only winning 10 games. Some locker room issues and a rollercoaster of trades. This season he looks to turn the page and gather himself with a clean slate. Although last season their record was lacking the competitive side was not the Bengal’s had extremely competitive games. With the correct GM and team I feel TP Braves can take it to the next level and make the playoffs this season. His GM pick is a bit of a shocker but none the less they will have to navigate through the top heavy season. The top of this owners list is going to be overwhelming and a handful. I do believe TP is capable of winning and being better than a some of the owners ranked above him on this list but must prove he can keep his house in order and get players through bidding and keep them together. In order to build chemistry and make a strong late season push.

#5

MRR.OHIO

Mrr Ohio is a man that does not need an introduction, if you have been around at all throughout the years. He is a veteran in all since of the word. He has participated in all aspects of the league. From owner, GM, Staff and player. So having knowledge of players is not going to be an issue with his team bidding. The main issue I feel he will run into is making sure his management office has talent. The actual management side of things he can handle at the fullest. Like other owners he needs to use his GM spot strictly as a FREE player and QB. Since I do not believe Ohio is playing QB it will be extremely difficult for him to overcome the owners who do have 2 QBs already locked in going into bidding. I have no doubt that Ohio will no have no issues on the management side of things. On the field is going to be the biggest mountain to climb.

#4

LUCKY DABS

Well, he finally fulfilled his dream and made a top 5 list. It would be extremely disrespectful to not put the season 7 Super Bowl attendee in the top 5 owners of the next season. Lucky has proven he has what it takes to take a team to the Super Bowl. Knowing and using his knowledge of the league to maneuver through management issues and controversies Lucky will be an issue throughout the season. Although he is not the best player by any means he is no slouch on the management side of things.  Doing what it takes to win at all cost. Even after losing his GM early last season still managed to find a way to pull players to win games. Finding diamonds in the rough. Doing whatever it takes and I would expect nothing less this season. 

#3

King Champ

Champ has owner experience. The last time being the Baltimore ravens season 6. Making an appearance in the playoffs. Couple that with a season 7 stint as GM of the Chargers under TXJamesSmithTX. He has ample of experience running a team. He has his own group of guys that I’m sure he is bringing in. With a strong player as his GM he will easily come into season 8 without stumbling. A strong game plan. I’m sure their team bidding will definitely have the showing of a strong QB team. With all this, this is the main factor that champ comes in at number 3 on this list and I expect and almost guarantee to see him in the playoffs at the end of the season.

#2

IamBeaste

After missing last season with some GM controversies. HE IS BACK. Beaste has made his return and is looking to pick up right were he left off. Which is a Super Bowl appearance if you didn’t know. The last time Beaste was in the league he was the owner of the season 7 Super Bowl runner ups the buffalo bills. Looking to build off that beaste is a front runner for another appearance in the big game. With strong QB play and fresh eyes after his short hiatus. He will take the league by storm surely pairing up with a strong GM and taking heads week one. Anything less than a Super Bowl appearance will be a bust. Showing his resilience in season 7 he started off rough but build a strong team around him to float him through the rough patch. but then turned on strong near the end to make the Super Bowl push. No doubt in my mind the slow start is out the window and it is all about the wins starting at week one.

#1

Eboktsop

Don’t let the constant trolling, FG shanking, Blunky hating fool you. EBOK is easily the number one choice on this list. The reigning season 8 Super Bowl champion Ebok has his GM returning and a list of players he will already be eyeing in the bidding. Looking for another season with a strong offensive team for him and Hucci. It will be a tough matchup for anyone who is lined up against these guys. Especially with the fresh faces and new owners this season going to be like shooting fish in a barrel for these guys. I expect the scoreboards to be lit up as well as their win column. Any player who lands on this team will be sitting in a good position going into the season. His management skills have seemed to be as good as his offense and Eboks offense is no joke, although it seems like that’s all he does, do not sleep on this guy. You will regret it…………

Top 20 Players of Season 7 Part 1 of 4 (Players 20-16)

In this article, I will be discussing my top 20 players of season 7. These rankings will be based on my experiences, statistics, and awards.

DaAccountant

DaAccountant is a top 10 defensive lineman in the league and is the sole reason he finds himself on this list at number 20. Lead the league in tackles for a loss but only accumulated 13 sacks and did not produce at a high level on the offensive side of the ball at running back. But is a solid run stopping lineman who was a menace in the backfield game in and game out. The disruption he forced in the run game helped his line to an 8-4 record. He could find himself higher on the list but he is simply not a play-caller and is top tier at his one position which is good enough to find himself in the top 20 of the league.

T1 Anime

 

Anime is only one of 4 wide receivers on this list and we all know that WR’s have little to do in offenses with the top tier QB’s. Although some numbers cannot be overlooked regardless of how little a player is used. Anime made this list due to his RAC yards and TD’s. Finishing 4th in both categories. Him and his QB wrecked havoc last season pairing with Ebok and winning a Super Bowl. T1 anime should be looking to pair again with another strong QB this season and improve on his already impressive numbers. Being a WR in this league requires patients to run hundreds of routes and possibly touch the ball once for a quarter of the passes that your QB throws. This is one reason why Anime makes this list, to have the season he did with a QB like Ebok, a well known troll must take some massive understanding and patience. 

R0gue apollo

The 2nd of my 4 wide receivers appears at #18. I’m aware that WR’s roles are limited in the new meta of offenses. With that being said Apollo finished second in RAC yards while also having the best reception to TD ratio in the league. Also played on a line finished 11-1, losing one game all season. Although he did not have amazing defensive numbers, he was a major reason why his line only lost one game. Being on a roster that is pass heavy, WR takes patients and trusting your QB. Apollo has been a consistent WR in the league year in and year out and the best blocking WR in the league hands down. 

ED Reed PWNS U

This one was a bit shocking to me while looking at the statistics. Only playing 8 games on the season when mostly everyone else played 11-12, Reed finished top 10 in sacks, TKFLs, and FFs at Defensive line. Couple that with finishing top 10 in receiving TD’s in only 8 games is truly impressive. This player would have been much higher on the list if he would have had a full season of stats. He played extremely well and took advantage of his all his opportunities that were presented to him. Helped the chargers transition to keep their winning ways after losing huskynuts to abrupt retirement. Ed reed deserves his position among the top 20 and I hope to see what he can bring with a full season of statistics.

Shady On Xbox

Shady has had a great season on the defensive side of the ball. Finishing second in defensive INT’s with 17. His season started off shaky at QB with Eagles, after transitioning to RB in week 3 and shortly being traded to the Buccaneers. He then found his footing and ended up playing under Abyss. Finding success and helping the line as a whole, rack up an impressive winning streak. Which having his dominate play at DB surely helped. Being one of the more consistent DB’s in the league year in and year out makes it no surprise that shady made the top 20.

Ranking the Owner applications

Doing the rankings with a *star system

⭐= Lowest
to
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ = 5 stars = Highest  

Bhedden

Experience:  ⭐⭐⭐
3rd Season playing
Spent this past season on staff and owner of AFL Buccaneers

BHedden gets 3 stars due to the fact he has had a season of staff and AFL ownership under his resume. Although he has only 3 seasons in experience he has completed much in those 3. One of the few things he has left to do is to take ownership at the NFL level. 

Skill: ⭐⭐

Bhedden is a solid player and has proven himself to be an asset at the WR and DL position. The reason for the 2 star rating is because we have yet to see him in league at QB. With the league las season reverting back the management owner rule, where both owner and GM can play at the QB position. This is going to hamper any owners who are not playing at a high level at QB.

Notoriety: ⭐⭐

Bhedden has spent his 3 season in the league learning and growing as a player and manager. He has been active in chat and constantly looking for ways to improve his expierence in the league. And has done so well although he does not have many accolades on the field he has accomplished a decent amount off it. Being staff and AFL gm has a big part to do with this. But will only get his 2 stars due to only having 3 seasons under his belt.


Overall Ranking: ⭐⭐⭐


BHedden is active in chat and i feel like deserves an opportunity to be an owner at the NFL level. Being staff one season and an AFL GM he should be knowledgeable with the VFL constitution. What kind of team he could put together will be interesting to see. His experiences in the league all sets up for him to take the next step and apply those experiences at ownership. Bhedden has been on my roster in the past and is one of the easy going guys ive had to work with in the league. I do think that does transfer well over to ownership.

 

Coach Comparison

Josh Mcdaniels

Has experience, looking to take the next step to prove hes his own coach.

Mrr Ohio

Experience:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Played in 11 seasons 7 as owner

This applicant needs little introduction if any. Mrr ohio has been around since almost the beginning of the entirety of the team up leagues. he has been at almost all levels of the league. As well as has many seasons of experience and will look to improve on that experience. The league would be blessed to have an owner of this caliber.

Skill:  ⭐⭐⭐
Mrr Ohio has been downright nasty at times and can very well compete with all skilled position players. But not being a QB is the reason for the missing stars this player is well versed in many positions and will compete at all. 

Notoriety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Any player who has been around this league for a while knows who Mrr ohio is. He has accolades dating back to the start of all this. Being a high ranking owner to a top ranked player from awards to competing for ships. Mrr ohio has done it all and is more than likely a shoe in for ownership, personally.

Overall Ranking:  ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mrr Ohio will be a great owner in the league as he has before. Looking to take the mantle and try and proceed to the championship with a lot of history in his bag. The only part of this that will be an uphill battle like some other applicants is will he or can he overcome the 2 QB management rule. He has in the past and will look to do so again in season 8.

Coach Comparison

Mike Tomlin

Consistent old head who knows his away around the league 

IamBeaste

Experience:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 
Too much

When he states too much he is not wrong. Beaste has been around since i can remember. Beaste has been an owner at an extremely high level. Competed for championships year in and year out. Beaste is probably a top candidate to take an ownership spot 


Skill: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beaste is a valid hall of fame candidate at QB. Who has just recently competed in a superbowl at QB. The most important position on the field. If that was not enough he was owner the same season. Not only a seasoned vett but also a top competitor on and off the field. 


Notoriety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Like stated previously he had just 2 seasons out competed in a Superbowl. Has long been a top QB in the league as the stats will show. This among many other accolades should put beaste at the top of the list for ownership.

 

Coach Comparison

Andy Reid

Been around for ever, at the top of his craft

HONORABLE MENTIONS

In honorable mentions we will go over quickly the rest of the applicants. with an overall rating only. And give a brief description on why I gave them their rating and what I believe would be best for them or the league in their situation. 

SixthMallard940

OVERALL RATING: ⭐

I do believe Sixth should and could be given an opportunity for ownership in the NFL level. He has done his time in the AFL and seen what management would be like on a smaller scale. Although there is a higher level of concentration and patience at the NFL level. I think putting in your time in the AFL level should give you head way and a higher seat at taking NFL ownership than others.

FYC ISmittyIOLF

Overall Ranking: ⭐

I do not know much about this player other thank glancing over his statistics over the past few years. I granted smitty 2 stars based off of his application. If his history is correct he should be well versed with the constitution, scheduling, ect. he could be a valued sleeper pick if we have the ownership spots.

Cruce, Hexied, Boxing

Overall Ranking: ⭐⭐⭐

I am aware all of these players are well suited to play and win in the league on the field. But it takes more than madden talent to run a team. Although i do think these guys are capable of running a team one day. But i would like to see them have a season of management on their resume so they can get a taste of what it takes to maintain a team and run it all season long. On the plus side of things though they are heavy in mut and could bring new players to the league if they do get ownership. 

JoeyKlutch

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐
 Although equipped with years of overall experience in VFLs history. JoeyKlutch by his stats has only played in one season in recent past, Season 6 (chargers). Playing well enough to compete that season with a 6-2 record it was not a QB i know it may be redundant but again with the recent rule change regarding Owner and GMs both allowed to play QB if joey does not take a QB role he will start at a disadvantage from the other owners who do. This is definitely one of the issues alot of non QB owners will face this season. Couple that with the glaring fact that JoeyKlutch has not had any RECENT management seasons. All this is a reason for the 2 star rating.

NEEDS MORE EXPIERENCE

GMEN, HOLYTOOHIGH

I love seeing new applications and new names applying for owner. This is something that is good for the league and would love to see these guys get a GM spot at the NFL level as well as get to know more people get more active in the chats as well as inhouses. it takes time to become owner in the league and has a lot to do with player relations. i have high hopes for these guys and is good to see them apply and hope they continue to do so in the future. Who knows if they kill their interview they may get an ownership spot this season.

Wish all aplicants the best of luck and hope they all land were they want to.

9. Not Comp

OC. TEE GRIZZLEY
DC LIFTED
HC RAVENS

CAPTAIN: LIFTED

This team is coming in at number 9 Due to their inexperience here in the league and really lack of knowledge of them. They are coming in from another B league that lacks the talent of the VFL. So i would predict they will learn the skill gap quickly between the two.

8.Vicks Dawg Pound

OC: adriansoracco
DC: MyMustangIsSlow
HC: vazsers

Team captain- fear my spirit Wr/DB

Like the previous ranked team i do not have much knowledge of this team. Similar teams come to this league and do not realize that this league holds some of the highest competition in all of team play. There are rules and regs that keep alot of cheese out of the league and it really gives an opportunity to showcase actual skill and not cheese. A hard thing for a lot of new players struggle to adapt to. Maybe this team will be different but i would be surprised. 

7. Brooklyn Gators

OC – Blunkey
HC – BHedden
DC – eboKtsoP

Captain: Blunkey QB/DB

XFACTOR: BLUNKEY

This team has got to be a troll. To have the back to back Superbowl champ Ebok not playing QB really dampens this teams rank. But with blunkey at QB this team takes a dramatic hit. This team has a good cast of players with him but i dont know if that will be enough to overcome his struggles. their fate will be based on his mistakes or lack thereof. 

6. Sac Jacc R3d Off

OC- x Sacr1f1ce x
DC- R3D H0ur
HC- xX713JaccXx


Captain- x Sacr1f1ce x Qb/lb

XFactor: Sacrifice

This team is solid. But is lacking a bit compared to the rest of the tournament roster. Sacrifice has been hit and miss at QB they are a bit better than some other rosters but i think a big factor for this roster will be team selection. Getting a solid RB and help for sac will be key to getting wins. 

5. South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs

OC: Homelander
HC: The Brisket
DC: Ibprofam (Backfield Mismatch)

 

Captain: @Homelander QB/DB

Homelander playing QB is a bit different then we have seen recently. In season 7 he played WR and played well. With a little bit of locker room problems in season 7 he got shopped but still played well. If he can put his vision at WR to QB  this team can win. They will have solid defense with brisket and a decent RB in profam. If this all comes together this could be a surprise in the tourney. 

4. Connection Interrupted

OC: Userb trash
DC: RegularAssAce
HC: BOOBIE MILES

Team captain: connectionb flawed

This is another team that i feal that has a bit of a odd placement of their roster. Userb is a solid QB but im not sure if would be better at the helm than ace. Although maybe ace is a better DC. Userb can compete and is safe with the ball and has a solid run game. This may be able to produce wins in the tourney although im not sure if they will be able to compete with the higher tier competition in the tournament.

3. Glizzy gladiators

Roles:

OC – Kirk Cousins
HC – The Accountant 🧮
DC – xBeachMode

Captain: @Kirk Cousins QB/DB

This team has a good roster on it. Lucky aka Kirk cousins is a strong QB. Safe with the ball and shows promise to be able to compete at times with top talent. But does have a bit of an inconsistent streak. Beach mode is a solid DC and the accountant has shown to be solid probably top 10 DL in the league. Who is strong at Run stopping play. this team will rely on strong defense and taking care of the ball. Stong team selection will be a big factor in this teams success. 

2. The Big Leagues

Roles:
OC- xxhucci
DC- CriticalTelos
HC- tpbraves57

Team Name: The Big Leagues

Captain: Critical Telos RB/DB

This team is one of the most balanced teams in the Tournament. With 2 out of the three players being superbowl champions. They will be a tough team to beat as well as braves being a former QB being a strong asset at WR is going to help this team progess throughout the tournament. depending on seeding we could see this team in the final round facing off against my ranked 1 team.

1. Hmmm Bang

OC – @AbyssZl
?? – @OrlandoStayWoke 💍
?? – @💩💩DOGWATER💩💩

 

Captain: AbyssZl

This team is a star-studded roster. With abyss being the most consistent QB in league history as couple that with Redwater who together won QB and WR of the year awards then add Orlando who has been a long-time teammate of abyss since the LA days. This team is going to be a force and my prediction to win it all.

Interview With MVP Snub RPO Painkiller

   

Today i got blessed with a lil interview with the RB/DL stud RPO Painkiller. (Congrats to TXjames on the great season)

  First off, congratulations on an outstanding season. Although you were not selected as the MVP, your performance was undoubtedly deserving of recognition. Can you share your thoughts on not being selected for the award and were you surprised when TXjames was given the award?
I wouldn't say I'm surprised I kind of expected it because he went 11-1. I just don't think you being 11-1 holds the same weight when you're not leading either of your position groups in stats. And as for not being selected myself, I think slowing down and losing to some extremely good lines in the last 2 weeks hurt my chances.
Speaking of losing to good lines. You had one of the hardest strength of schedules i’ve ever seen. Do you feel like the voters didnt take that into account when choosing MVP? Fear W/L (W- Blunkey, Lucky, Abyss, Hucci, Ace, eboK, Champ) (L- TXjames, Abyss, eboK, Dirty, Warpath)
Definitely played some tough games but I didn't feel like there wasn't a single game this season were we shouldn't have won the game or could've won the game. As for the voters I'm not sure if they knew or didn't know but I find it hard to believe they did know considering I didn't win the award.
With that being said do you feel like the voters just gave him(TXjames) the award because he went 11-1? Heres his schedule. TXjames W/L (W - Fear, Ace, Hutch, Koolaidz, Hex, AP, Ace, WTB Buckets, Gmen, SirBottomis, BLK) (L- UserB)
Looking at who he played I'd say if we played the same guys my line would've at the veery least matched his record and his 11-1 wasn't impressive
You had amazing stats & broke some records but do you feel like Drocks ego got in the way of your line winning or you from putting up even better stats? Also do you feel like you & Drock was a good fit?
Idk if it was his ego, I just think we as a line got to complacent after how well the first 2 weeks went for us. As for fit, I think the plan we had and scheme we ran made us a good fit but idk if that remains consistent if the scheme or team changes but who knows.
In your opinion do you think Drock was feeling pressured by people in chat saying the browns QBs dont pass the ball? & did he feel like he had to prove himself?
I think a little bit of that played a factor into the dip off, but mostly we were practicing for like 3-4 hours a day for the first week or 2 of the season and then didn't for 2nd half of the season so I credit our drop off to that mostly.
What are your plans for season 8? Are you going to run it back on the RB/DL or do you look to DOMINATE elsewhere? Also do you have anything to say to the people who think you only had a good season because you had Nick Chubb & Myles Garrett?
I will be playing RB, as for defense idk yet. I want to play DB but I guess we'll see. And idc what RB you give me... I get the touchs and I'll dominate

Super Bowl VII PREDICTION

Season 7 super bowl starts on Sunday January 15th with the series being a best out of seven the first game kicks off at 9 eastern!

Both of these teams have fought hard all season and pretty much had two different paths to the super bowl in terms of rosters.

The chiefs, ran by Ebok, and Hucci, have had minimal roster changes this season the team you see now is the same team they drafted with the exception of Woohdy being called up week 3, meanwhile on the other side the packers ran by Clampby lucky and Redhour, have gone through roster changes like a smoker goes through packs of Marlboro Reds! Dropping c4use week one because he wasn’t getting the job done trading omni before the start of week 3, acquiring Hutch just for him to retire after a game or two picking up sacrifice and call me Kyle from the AFL this team has been through so much rumor has it that lucky is going to get a tattoo that says “only god can judge me”.

One thing these teams have in common, aside from being in the super bowl, both of these teams original GM’s quit on them early on Eboks (chiefs) original GM Iambeaste quit before the season due to not having the proper time needed to be a GM while the packers original GM Nedley had a disagreement with owner then known as “lucky dabs” aside from the eagles these are the only two teams to finish the season without their original GM. Interesting if you ask me.

To make it to the super bowl you have to have a deep team one line will not be able to get it done and both of these teams have a deep roster. In my opinion the chiefs roster has more depth. Strategy is the key if the packers want to win. If I were the packers I would want my worst line to match up with Ebok realest and Gabe twice. I think this line on the chiefs is one of the best lines if not the best line in the league. Realest is a great defensive play caller and Ebok is arguably the best QB in the league (when he’s not trolling) I would imagine if Lucky plays QB since he is struggling he may want to match up against this line to give the other lines easier matchups in the series to make their chances higher.

Meanwhile the packers top line is no joke. Hexied has proven to be a great QB with having the agg catch down and knowing how to contain it, maybe matching up line for line isn’t a bad strategy. I do believe a “hex v ebok” matchup in the super bowl will be a great one with the possibility of these games being split. (1-1)

Will lucky and the packers be able to beat the depth of the chiefs? I think it is very possible. This series has the making to be possibly one of the best super bowl matchups this rendition of the league has seen since it’s reboot in madden 22.

My opinions:

Chiefs have three great QB’s Ebok, Hucci, and Blksupersayian. Maybe Suoersayain is the QB3 on this team which he could be QB1 on most of the teams that played this season. That’s a scary thought for the packers considering self proclaimed top 5 QB Lucky has been struggling in the playoffs going 0-3 at QB and even switched to RB to allow their ECU Cruce to play QB for them and came out with a clutch win against Jamesmith. Sacrifice was dropped by the bills the beginning of week three and what a blessing that was for him and the packers, sacrifice has played phenomenal in the playoffs and has potential to be one of the teams X-factors in this series.

My prediction: 

With all this being said these are simply my observations and opinions with that being said from my view point I see the Chiefs taking this 4-3 with Ebok realest and gave facing off against Hexied SBG boxing and Wrnzo in the game 7 of the super bowl that game coming down to a game winning field goal that is finally made by Ebok (can’t troll in a game 7)

Season 7 Award Predictions.

In this article I will be covering my predictions on the awards. 

  • Owner of the Year
  • MVP
  • Offensive POTY
  • Defensive POTY
  • Positions OTYs
  • Rookie OTY
  • Walter Payton Man of the Year (Not predicting)

Owner of the Year

Los Angelos Chargers

TXJAMESSMITHTX

GM: King Champ

This is a pretty cut and dry award this season. The best record as well as the Chargers held first place in the power rankings all season long. Never falling out of the first-place spot. Week in and week out TXJames and Champ have kept their team ahead of the pack never failing and never faltering. Staying strong with their Bidding roster and keeping everything close to chest this is an easy selection.

MVP

Toss up

TXJAMESSMITHTX
11-1
QB/DL

QB

DL

 

TXJAMESSMITHTX is the most winning QB in the league. Although lacking in yardage he has the highest pass attempt to TD ration out of all QBs in the league. Finishing 3rd in passing TDS with almost 100 less pass attempts than 1 and 2. Couple this with an outstanding defensive performance where a lot of the other MVP hopefuls are lacking. With only one loss on the season, it would be hard to argue against TX getting the MVP.

FEAR PAINKILLER
7-5
RB/DL

RB

 

DL


Painkiller was on a tear the first two weeks of the season. Hitting some rocky points in the closing weeks. Racking up losses with low statistical gains. But none the less had an overall great year being an impactful player in almost every game he played. Making big plays on offense with over 2k yards rushing and maintaining an 8.9 ypc while reaching pay dirt 20 times. While on the other side of the ball leading the league in sacks. This looked to be a lock for MVP in the first half of the season. Finishing with strong numbers on both sides of the ball will still have a decent shot at the award.

MVP Honorable mentions

Abyss- Abyss had great numbers at the QB position and is likely a lock for QBOTY. But with three losses and underwhelming defensive numbers is the reason abyss did not make my top two mvp predictions.

EBOK- Ebok again has great QB numbers but with a rough start to the season and a mediocre record at QB there is no way this player will get the mvp shake but has worthy numbers but has fallen short as a whole.

Rookie of the Year

HXIED

Hxied coming into the league at QB was full of confidence after starting the his vfl NFL career with a slight win streak. It is not easy to come in here and succeed at QB for a first timer but with a high point offense and a spinner setup that many could not handle he did just that. Racking up a solid win loss and putting up good numbers as well. The easy front runner for ROTY

Offensive Player of the Year

QB-ABYSS

Abyss has been dominate on the offensive side of the ball. He has torn it up through the air racking up the most passing yards in the league as well as leading the league in TDs. Securing his spot here as my prediction for OPOTY. He has dominated almost all defenses he has faced after week 2. Started the season slow but picked it up as playoff positions were looming. 

Defensive Player of the Year

AREIS

Areis once again has been on a tear. Taking advantage of all opportunities that have been presented leading the league in INTs with 22 the next closes player was 17. Not only has Areis been a menace taking passes away from the QBs he also gets points, leading the league in DTDs. There is no one even close to him as an impact player on the defensive side of the ball this season and for this reason i am projecting him to be the DPOY of season 7.

LINE OF THE YEAR

TXJAMESSMITHTX    QB/DL
ROGUE APOLLO      WR/LB
APPLE DANISH     RB/DB
Record 11-1


This is by far the easiest selection made thus far. Line of the year should go to the line with the best record. not going to go into much detail here. Shout out to the Chargers. #1 seed
