HITS

This will be the category will cover players who owners have gotten high value from with low cost 

1.Ugongetthiswork

bidding price:500k (3-0)

This one blew my mind. this man went for 500k and is absolutely wrecking havoc on the league. If some one cannot slow this man down in the future there is going to be hell to pay. he has not only racked up rushing yards to be proud of right now but is absolutely unstoppable on defense. the sack margin for this animal is unmatched. coming in with 15.5 sacks on week one the next closest isnt even half that. this man has been a menace and should be stopped at all cost some QBs better learn how to mark that double team and quick or is going to be in for a rough week 2.

2. HUSKYNUTS

Bidding price: 500k (3-0)

With husky being one of the cheapest QBs going in the draft. and turning up in week one. At his first season ever in the league at QB. Finishing week one with a 3-0 record is impressive with help from veteran WR the brisket. the season is looking to be a tremendous success for these two. With the two connecting on 23 passes for over 400yrds and 4+ tds. there is no where to go but up. with more playing time this line will continue to get better. its clear the price on husky was well paid and will help the chiefs progress deep into the playoffs if not more.

3.BLKSUP3RSA1YAN

Bidding price: 8.5m (3-0)

Super is another guy when other QBs were going into the 20 of millions he sat firm at 8.5m. Im sure there are many who wish they would have taken a chance on a guy like this at 9mil looking around the league were some 3rd string QBs are going for 10s of millions we have a guy here who was in the single digit salary not only wrecking havoc on the offensive side of the ball with josh allen not with his arm but his legs. his defense is were he shines racking up 7 sacks on his way to his 3-0 record its been a great performance by him on both sides of the ball which is what finds him number 3 on this list and well deserved and with the bills having found success in another qb on there roster for a decent price they should have a very successful season moving forward

In this section we will cover who was paid alot but contributed very little. THIS WILL BE FUN

1. TWC WARPATH

BIDDING PRICE: 21m (0-3)

This seems to be the common case of bidding up the owner or staff bc the odds of them quiting is low. Granted this list is not really the players fault they went for the price none the less, They were paid to perform and did not do so. as shown in this case warpath went for a crazy high amount and has not produced one win with good teammates around him like natecashmoney, who has been a proven player in past seasons. yet here they sit with no wins. Now the expensive QB has left the niners and is headed to the Ravens with the same price tag but hoping for different results but starting 0-3 has to be weighing heaving on warpath after so much trust and expectation was placed on him. i cant see what the ravens can offer him as of teamates opposed to NATE but we will see going into week. This is going to be one to watch moving forward if the struggles continue this may be the biggest bust of the season.

I got a chance to chat with their GM Johnnywheels regarding the trade for BIG TY from the ravens for warpath and this is how it went

“Q1:Now that week one is over and he started 0-3 and now is traded how do you feel about paying 21 million for warpath

A1:It was tough, we kinda just got into a spot where we had to take a chance on one of the 2 top QBs in the league and in my opinion grandpa is a very good QB, however his games with Trey Lance and Jimmy G have left a lot to be desired. Paying 20+ mil for anyone is tough.

Q2:and what was the ultimate decision on trading him was it perfomance based cap based or was he just not working out with you guys any more

A2:Despite his performance, I personally didn’t want to trade him. Grandpa requested a trade and we did everything we could to grant that request while trying to improve our roster. I think Ty brings a ton of talent and gives us a fresh start

 

Q3:Have you spoke with nate about this and is nate going to be playing with big ty

A3:We will be playing this week as Johnny, Ty and Nate”

So after talking with johnny they are looking to have a much better week 2 after beachmode so i wanted to here what he thought about the whole ordeal and this is what he said.

“I’m bummed that he requested a trade after only 1 week of games in all seriousness he was a hefty investment and felt like he jumped ship pretty early. But it’s a business and is what it is. I have no ill feelings about it and I wish him the best. We need to focus on getting more Ws and I’m happy I’ll be able to contribute once I’m back”


I then asked him how he thought big ty would do moving forward 

I’ll be 100% honest with you I’m not sure and I won’t have a read until I watch their first stream. He was a sought after player and had a lot of success last madden so I’m hoping he can ball out for us. This madden will show separation between QB skill gaps though imo. It’s a noticeable drop off in game/animation assistance with low tier madden QBs.

2. BetterCallSaul (0-2)

Bidding price: 21.5m

Here at number two comes SAUL. with poor ownership/management and stat keeping we are truly un aware of how bad saul has done but with a struggling line we have some insight on his record we for sure know he has lost one and from another source i have found he is 0-2 with no stats entered. playing on a team that is in the bottom half of the league record wise this is a big part of the play from their highest paid player. when you get picked up at a ridiculously high price you are expected to perform and participate in a winning line. failure to do so will leave your team down and out after dropping majority of their cap on you. as shown here with the vikings only having 4 wins this week and of what we know right now none of which came from their most expensive quarterback its unfortunate for the vikings. Now people can look at this two ways. One way is that the vikings could be screwed if they cannot get their top paid line going and produce wins. Or two is that well the other two lines are producing enough wins to hold out until your top paid player can get his shit together. either way something has to get on the move with the vikings. Whos one of their 5 Loses came from a FF. as well as one of there 4 wins. we will see what the future holds here with the vikings but its looking grim IMO.

3.Eboketsop

Bidding price: 16.5

Putting ebok on this list was tough for me he could have easily found himself in the meh. but with the team as a whole struggling to get wins they need to lean on their top paid player to produce wins. Although he has produced more wins than the others on this list with less of a price. it still needs to be looked at in the aspect of with great value come great responsibility which these players have lacked. Now this being said i have personally played against ebok this week and i have no doubt in my mind that his Wins will climb and he will produce for whatever organization he plays for. His numbers are not bad and he is only a few plays away from being 2-1 instead of 1-2 this is one player that i hate putting on this list but it has to be. He has a solid offensive scheme with a good madden team if they can work out there defensive woes and solidify there redzone scoring they will be a force to deal with moving forward. the buccaneers have faced alot of trials in this week one having to deal with FF a gm that quit and lines not winning on top of all that they are going to need a massive jump from ebok and ponchy to turn their season around.

MEHHH

In this section we are going to be going over BRIEFLY they players who did not quite exceed their bidding price but did not quite shit the bed either 

1. SWIFT AP/UTAH AP/VERMONT (1-2)

TOTAL PRICE: 5m

I might catch hell for putting these boys at number one on the meh list. but with that being said these guys have been performing at a high level although there record shows only 1-2 they have taken top talent to the wire and shown they can compete with just about anyone here are they the fanciest line no are they the best line probably not but for what you pay for them they have done extremely well and i see them pushing all games no matter who they play to the wire and making sure people dont just assume bc they are playing the niners they are going to walk away with an easy win

2.Da Accountatn (2-0)

BIDDING PRICE: 5m

Sitting here at number 2 i had to really think about the price but honestly at 5 million the price was right. With only two games worth of stat line accountant is sitting with 15 TFL and 7 sacks not going crazy on the offensive side of the ball should not be a surprise as he is on the ravens and i would assume that most carries are going to go through lamar. which is why i assume he only has 14 car through two games. but moving forward if he can keep pressuring the qb and getting TFL they should continue to win games pressure equals picks this we all know

3. USERBFLAWLESS (1-2)

Bidding price:500k

this player for one bid has not been bad he has had some turnover difficulties but his stats are pretty good Completing 39 of 59 for 653 yards and 6td its the 7ints that haunt this qb  considering the rest of the league qb woes its not horrible. if the bengals can make a few changes and get one or two more wins a week moving forward they will be a strong contender moving forward in the playoff race. user just need to keep the pressure on and make sure his wins can keep suite with his stats and limit his INTs and he will be looking nice moving deeper into the season

IF YOU MISSED OUT OF THIS LIST SORRY OR IF YOUR STATS WERE NOT ENTERED YOU WERE NOT EVEN CONSIDERED GOOD LOUCK EVERYONE GOING INTO WEEK 2

Mocarbone

B

Movss x

B

Im not sure on what position these players are. I know mocarbone from back in the day and he was a player who will show up and play his part. this is a trade that definitely does not hurt either team and should be beneficial for the players as well moving into week 2.

A B- C+

Fig,
Outaker

Never practices

Jusst Smoove

With the steelers receiving never practice and saints just smoove this are two decent acquisitions for the teams. But no one can know why each person got moved but there is nothing better than fixing your locker room. From the outlooks it looks like the dolphins have upgraded their lineup they have made many moves in week one definitely a win for the dolphins. Especially for the dline gathering a veteran dlinman like outaker is a win couple that with a solid RB in fig neither being a locker room issue this should smoove some things over for the dolphins. As for never practices aka rivals. He is a solid player i hear that he may have to take an IR in the future. This is something that may effect things in the future. Just smoove is just a man that is happy to be out of mia. all reports state that he wanted to be shipped out of miami and now that wish has been granted. We shall see what the levies hold in NO.

Notable Position Changes

NateCashMoney

DB to DL

With the change coming before their first week nate has had three games in at DLINE. Although the change was sudden it came due to a simple line adjustment. With realest moving to WR so Nate could stay at RB and nate made the move to DLine bc realest calls the defense. So it was a win win for the line as unit. As of the end of week one Nate is sitting with 8 sacks.

Q&A

i was able to chat with nate and asked him how he felt at dline.

A: It feels good I want to be on defense more than offense

I feel like I left a couple plays out there so I know there’s room for improvement I just wanna get better

Gabe ILY

QB to RB

Another position change in Mia. Again coming off a struggling week they are looking to shake things up. Gabe just could not hack it at with playing 2 games going 0-2 completing 14-22 passes throwing 2 ints both going back for tds costing them big. This was a main reason for the 0-2 record he holds. With the switch coming in he will now be backpacking off the qb works ebok/kobe maybe not having the ball in hand to start he can manage to scrape some wins together. But with kobe already going 2-1 in week one it cant change to much for them. What is in store for the other two lines we will be waiting to find out.

KOBE interview 

I tracked down the owner of the dolphins to see how he felt about his max bid switching position off QB to RB.

Q:how he felt about his max bid changing positions?.

“Gabe is a stupid shi**er who is used to getting carried by everyone for his entire VFL career. Abyss & Breesuss had to put him in the backpack just so gabe could keep his ego. Now he’s beggin DADDY to come save his season. It’s pathetic cuz i expected gabe to have a top tier season at QB but now i’m sittin here with a useless max bid. I honestly might trade him by the end of the season.”

Q: How do you feel your other two lines will do now that your max bid has moved off of QB?

Blunkey is going to play good & win games with fig & outaker on his line. Awesome is getting a new line with him, accountant & try so i have faith in them to put together some wins. I expect us to put together winning weeks but you never know what’ll happen.

Q:With new lines coming in. i know you said you have faith in them to get some wins do you expect to have a flipped week next week? i know your team only got three wins this week what are your projections for week two with your current changes?

I expect my line to go 9-0 for the rest of the season. Only way we’ll lose is if i shit it up at QB. Blunkey & awesome have been in the lab so i can see the dolphins going 6-3 next week.

Day one Games, Blowouts and Shockers.

Steelers Start 3-0

After night one of games we have had some shocking finishers. Number one being the Steelers starting the season 3-0 with QB Beach mode playing all three games and finishing some nail biters. With two walk off touchdowns coming in the last 20 seconds. And a blow out win vs the Dolphins. This is a shocking start for the steelers considering there was a strong consensus for the Steelers being the worst team starting the season. That being said the steelers look to be on a war path to prove many wrong with beach mode carrying his weight will his team be able to follow suit in the coming nights. This is a big question among most teams. This is something that many are going to be anxious to watch in the coming days.

Steeler games

19-14 W vs Raiders (johnny wheels, Darocknation, Kaosfps)

17-14 W vs Colts  (grof minotaur rigs.)

27-7 W vs Dolphins (eboKtsoP DaAccountant Bwall)

Interview

I was able to catch up with beach mode after his games last night and asked him

Q; How do you feel about your games last night starting 3-0

“Last night was the epitome of team victories. Constantly communicating defensive adjustments and actually carrying out the play to get the victories. We never felt out of any game. CJ & I took a lot of tips and coaching from a veteran player like xBehe and it translated to the field. I myself had 4 TDs & 1 int on the night and completed about 80% of my passes. Game 1 & 2 we scored with 8 sec or less for the W. Proud of the line as a whole and I look forward to a great season.”

Q: Alot of people see behe as being known for his toxicity is that true? and if so does that make it tough playing through such things

A: I don’t find xBehe to be toxic at all he just keeps it real. Sometimes people have a hard time with the truth. He’s a veteran player and truly has knowledge to share. He legitimately knows his shit.

This being the only shutout of the night with the saints absolutely destroying the dolphins. With self proclaimed “Goat” Kuhrow getting absolutely blasted. Defense being non existent and the offense producing the same, The Dolphins are starting the season 0-3 with nothing to show for a good user roster in hand. On the other hand the Saints absolutely showed out in this game. With a complete shutdown defense. There is no better feeling than holding your opponent to 0, Nilch, Nada. As much of an embarrassment this should be for the dolphins this is a Hype time moment for the saints, Shutting down an offense with so many weapons to absolutely zero points and doing so in such fashion is definitely something to hang your hat on.

BLKSUPERSAYIN GameGreen

This game was the hardest league game i have ever had to watch in my entire career. The Falcons played the worst Madden I have ever seen. On the very first snap of the game the Falcons QB threw an interception. And many more were to follow when the first half finished the Falcons QB had accumulated 4 ints and this was just the beginning of many more to come. But with the second half looming the answer to throwing 4 ints was not to run the football but to throw more. With black supersayin as a rb and only getting 5 carries and having to just watch your qb throw the game away must be absolutely disheartening. As much as i would like to give all the credit to the bengals for this game i am afraid any lineup could have done this to this team. But the onslaught did not stop with the ints the Falcons had also given up two safeties in this game just to add to the horror of a madden match that has became. The flacons line had also given up a sack in previous games. This is something that must change moving forward they must run the ball if they are going to get any wins in the future

Pre Season Power Ranking Part 2 (5-1)

Pre Season Power Ranking Part 2 (5-1)

5. Colts

I do not know much about the users on this team but with that being said i hear there draft went well and they have a very strong madden team one of which is probably one of the strongest teams in the league if they can find a strong medium between balancing taylor skill with a mediocre pass game this team should find success and climb the rankings. On the plus side they have probably the best offensive line of any team this season. Coupled with playing with many mediocre and below average teams this should be a big part of the success of this team. There is nothing stopping this team from being successful other than the user skills. The users can manage there gameplay and produce there is no reason for this team to not be able to compete for a championship

4. Eagles

This team has veteran players built in to the grain with many players whom have been around these leagues for a long time and have had success in and out of said leagues. That being said those same things are what can bring huge success to team players whom have made names for themselves with consistency. And consistency is something that is needed to remain in the running year in and year out. There are many shining lights though this team that have a historical competitive nature. With aries being able to play around the bored and lead a line by himself. Others like Hutch who is not Talent based but shows up and is consistently mediocre but in this league mediocrity can lead to championships in the right situation. The situation to watch will be can jp aries carry the averageness of the roster.

3. Dolphins

 Making there way in at number three the dolphins loaded with top end speed at WR and a strong league roster including Kurow who is a top DL in the league and who was also a player in last seasons superbowl. Dolphins are going to be in a good spot seeing how the Madden teams in this season are definitely lacking at qb and speed this team has a good shot at competing this season. So with madden talent leaning there way. With strong veteran play there are many opportunities for this team to break through. Waddle being the main one with the max speed of a player like this against slow under averaged defenses this should be a consistent problem with two WR coming in at 95 and 97 spd this is going to be an explosive season.

2. WFT

 With consistent top side play from ownership and high picks WFT feels like a easy choice at number 2. The main problem they will likely run into should be there madden QB lacking in throw power this is going to be a hill to overcome. With strong talent on there league roster this should be fun to watch. With all that being said there madden team in a whole may be the one thing that may be able to hold them back. With big talent among the roster the strains of a madden team can be crippling. This is something that i feel we may see alot of this year. We shall see what big talent looks like on underperforming teams which makes this season very interesting. As well as beaste coming back from some skeptical and appalling situation this season is going to be full of not only drama but redemption. Beaste has been constantly a power house among the league. So this is going to be a full filled season while watching this team

Having star power with the likes of Abyss, Nate, Realest. This is the team to beat couple these players with with a good offense and strong defensive foundation and one of the best ovr madden teams in the league there is no doubt that this team is suited to remain a frontrunner for the upcoming season. The main reason is more along the lines of user talent than madden talent the madden ovr may be high coming off a Superbowl season. But as madden play the team may be average or slightly above. Due to the mediocre speed based offense and defense and but they are ranked here due to the high user talent wich says alot. Veteran talent that tends to be top end talent year end and year out will most likely remain top end. Baring some out of circumstance situations.

Pre Season Power Rankings (Part 1)

Preseason Rankings (10-6)

10. Steelers

This is probably the easiest of all the rankings on this list. it seems like the draft was almost as bad as the steelers. With a weak draft and a weak madden team the season will be looking grim here. We will see from the start of the season that this team will live on the bottom. As the bottom feeding steelers look to scrape wins together there is no one to blame but their owner bottom feeder sir bottomis for this. Putting together by far the worst draft in the league. This seems to be the consensus.  On the plus side there is nowhere to go but up.

Players to watch- TBD

9. Raiders

A strong ownership with mr ohio but seems to be a lacking roster. With a strong madden team i am interested to see them climb the ranks within the season. Mr ohio is a veteran and knows how the inners of the league works and can keep a strong foot in the competitive door. But will be hard to do with a below average draft. Looking forward to see the playthrough here. The defensive play calling is going to be the ones to watch here the offense with an average play caller can be successful with this team.

 

Players to watch- ohio, Big Ty

8. Falcons

The falcons are a madden team who is a laugh. NO Dline to speak of a noodle arm of a QB no WR. The shining part of the team is at TE although there TE is a light in the darkness. There is going to be alot of struggles to overcome with this team. With a superbowl consistent QB in dirty falcons whom finds himself in a superbowl almost every other year. Myself who is coming back after a long hiatus. This season has a lot to be seen from the falcons. Couple that with a draft that did not go as planned. This season can easily find itself being a flop.

 

Players to watch- Dirty, Banks, Mccoy

7. Patriots

Shady has been around this league along time and knows the ins and outs here. Has been successful on many occasions but with the roster he has is a bit different than im used to and would like to see what he is capable of he still has a few of his guys with him. That he is used to playing with this team and roster could easily be bumped up on this list a slot or two. With players like tmo this team has potential as long as they are not limited by the patriots mediocrity.

 

Players to watch- TMO, Shady

6. Saints

The saints have one of the better Olines in the league with strong qb potential in ponchy there is alot of hope with this team. They may climb throughout the season and ponchy is a very confident player who believes he does not need big name talent to win games and from the outset his skill is high so we shall see if playing with the saints he can carry them to a dominate season not that it is out of possibility but can the roster meet the potential. 

 

Players to watch- Ponchy, Outaker, Del
