Nates Top Owner-GM Combos

With the VFL season starting in a couple weeks it’s time to rank our Owner-GMs before the team draft!

  1. Beaste/TMO – No question that Beaste tops the owners at this list, if his team isn’t playing in the Super Bowl they are making conference championships.  I’m sure they will be back as one of the top teams in the league this season and would be shocked if they were any lower.  TMO is a great addition to his team, knows the league, knows the game well.

  2. North/Brady – Fresh off of their Super Bowl win from last season the duo is back looking to repeat as champs again.  The question I have is normally they are a super strong line, but the other lines can’t win a game when it comes to playoff time.  Will they be one of the big spenders on a QB knowing that may be the piece they need to win it again?  We will see.

  3. Realest/Mr Userpick – The only reason I put these guys ahead of my next pair is because of post season success.  Realest may have left the Super Bowl team that he had drafted last season BUT it shows he knows how to draft, not to mention has been apart of deep run playoff teams as a GM, he was also on the best team in VFL history and won a Super Bowl with them.  This will be a welcome back for userpick who is an older name but knows the community.

  4. Areis/Hutch – I don’t think there’s a more starved of a Super Bowl ownership group than these guys.  They have always been a consistent management team but haven’t been able to advance far in the playoffs.  Will they use a ton of money to bring in RedWater to reminisce on the glory days?  Or will they look for a consistent line 2 QB?

  5. Champ/Farah – These guys will know the ins and outs right off that bat on the new game because Farah is the biggest lab rat in the league.  Champ has always done well in the regular season but still has the stigma of someone who can’t bring it home in the post season.  On this Madden he will be looking to change that.

  6. Lucky/ibprofam – The surprise owner from last year is back!  With all the turnover they had on the Saints I couldn’t let Lucky fall any lower on this list.  This season we will be able to see if what happened last year was him being an excellent owner or all “luck”.

  7. Grof/Rigstime – Grof is coming off a disappointing season after his Packers Super Bowl win.  The two time owner with Rigs are looking to cement their status back in the playoffs and go after another Super Bowl and if they do that, they could jump up to top 3 next season.

  8. Ponchy/Route tech Dfeet – This will be an interesting combination that I didn’t see coming.  Ponchy knows whos good in the league and I’m sure his line will perform good this season.  Dfeet will HOPEFULLY bring what he’s learned from his previous Super Bowl run and put his input in on what is valuable to a Super Bowl winning team.  

  9. James/Rogue – This combo goes way back in VFL history.  Together they have put together consistent winning, competitive teams.  They know the community, and Apple Danish is back.  Watch out!

  10. DRock/Mr Ohio – Another returning management group coming in at my 10 spot here.  They have always been consistent on playing well, and having their teams show up.  The question is with the most competition being spread out will they be able to return and MAYBE make it further in the playoffs?  We will see.

  11. Koolaidz/Outaker – Big koolaidz is back this season as an owner.  He has been successful in the past but this is a whole different game!  After getting benched in the playoffs last season he looks to be the one calling the shots this year.  He knows the community well and has a lot of friends in the league.  Outaker is a great player and knows a lot of people well.  Looking forward to seeing these guys’ draft and think they have potential to climb this list.

  12. Beach/Johnnywheels – Over the past few seasons Beach has been improving at quarterback and excited to take on an owner roll.  He got ROCKSTAR johnnywheels as his GM a guy who eat/sleeps madden FOOTBALL.  This pairing has the most question marks, I honestly have no idea what route they would take in the draft but I’d suggest getting players that weren’t on your teams in the past, Beach.  But maybe I saved the best for last?

Rookie of the Year Race – Preseason

As of 8/12/22, we have 20 rookies who plan on making an impact in Season 6. I expect this list to grow especially after the game drops on Tuesday and Owners are trying out players.


In the past few seasons, the league has had difficulty with tracking Rookies and their season performances where there were no ROTY awards. With the help of this article, I plan on evaluating Rookies and their performances every week to help bring back this prestigious honor.


Since we have no data thus far, I will be ranking these players by their history with previous leagues or how I’ve evaluated them. This list will change every week when I am given data to analyze these players.

1.) II ReDWateR II (RB/LB)

2.) KING MIZZARK (WR/LB)

3.) JeRzEys iLLeSt (WR/DB)

4.) call mee kyle (RB/DL)

5.) Geeqsofly (QB/DL)

6.) Userb Flawless (QB/DB)

7.) nedley0228 (QB/DB)

8.) WRNZO (WR/LB)

9.) DeAxMurderer

10.) SG Supermann

Top 10 QBs headed into Madden 23

Alrighty, the list that most of you all have been waiting for. It’s the last top 10 list coming from this series where we defined the top 10 players from each 6 positions.

Time to take a look at the top 10 QBs going into Madden 23 (assuming they continue their career as QB and sign up for S6). The requirements and grading goes as follow:

  • a minimum of 2 seasons played at that position
  • Pass YDs, Pass TDs, Pass INTs, QBR, and Pass % where the criteria of ranking these QBs. NOTE: these metrics are looked at on a season average; NOT total EXCEPT % and QBR. the % and QBR are just the total number from their VFL career because if I were to take for example the average of 75% over 4 seasons, It would’ve been 25% which isn’t correct. 

The formula is straight forward. I took a players total Passing Yards/ the # of seasons they played in. Same along with Pass INTs, and Passing TDs. You can find each players season averages below the image. 

1.) AbyssZL – 2242 Pass Yds, 75%, 143 QBR, 21 TDs, 8 INTs

2.) KxngxChamp – 2289 Pass Yards, 75.1%, 147 QBR, 18 TDs, 9 INTs

3.) IamBeaste – 1989 Pass Yards, 75.4%, 138 QBR, 16 TDs, 8 INTs

4.) PonchySwag – 2104 Pass Yds, 73.9%, 132 QBR, 22 TDs, 11 INTs

5.) xxHucci – 1511 Pass Yards, 73.5%, 139 QBR, 13 TDs, 9 INTs

6.) Hutchx81 – 2386 Pass Yards, 69.7%, 117 QBR, 23 TDs, 15 INTs

7.) IRxBrady – 1891 Pass Yards, 69.5%, 122 QBR, 16 TDs, 12 INTs

8.) EzBigTy – 1726 Pass Yds, 71.4%, 110 QBR, 13 TDs, 11 INTs

9.) Breesus – 1753 Pass Yds, 45.6%, 135 QBR, 20 TDs, 10 INTs

10.) DirtyFalcon98 – 1303 Pass Yds, 67%, 124 QBR, 10 TDs, 8 INTs
