S7 WAY TOO EARLY OWNER RANKINGS/PREDICTIONS/COMPARISONS

Congratulations to the selected Owners for this upcoming season. This is a pivotal time for our league and possibly a new beginning toward something great, moving forward. Personally, my goal is to see everyone flourish and for us to band together and make this community stronger than ever. Cheers to everyone involved, below I’m ranking each owner 1-8 and doing an NFL coaching comparison. 

#8 Johnny Wheels – Coaching Comp = Jeff Saturday

To start things off, we begin with the VFL underdog himself, Johnny H. Wheels III. A true underdog story, Johnny was once looked at as a very late round draft pick/ 3rd line player, but through major trial and error- he’s managed to become a well-respected/dedicated user in this league. Much like recently appointed HC Jeff Saturday, Wheels starts his Owner journey with a small sample size of experience but has phenomenal promise and opportunity to succeed.  

#7 DROCK- Coaching Comp = Matt Rhule

DROCK aka Mr Tuxedo is back as owner for what is being called a “Make or Break Season”. Now on paper, he most certainly has the ability to lead his team to the promise land. DROCK is very active with In-Houses, he knows the game well and is more than familiar with the IN’s and OUT’s of being an Owner. The major question mark here is, can he put all his past experience to good use and prove all his doubters wrong? Similar to Rhule heading into the 22 NFL season, he will either sink or swim.  

#6 TpBraves57- Coaching Comp = Kevin O’Connell

Braves heads into this season after coming inches away from a VFL title back in Season 6. I remember at the start of Season 6, Braves was an undrafted QB fighting for a roster spot on whatever team would have him. Fast forward to playoffs, Braves converts to WR and puts together a quite impressive 7-2 record. Similar to O’Connell, Braves has MASSIVE upside, but will be faced with the typical question mark for any newly appointed owner- Does he have what it takes to create and lead a team?? 

#5 AceBoogs – Coaching Comp = Doug Pederson

Ace has been here before, similar to my coaching comparison Doug Pederson. A true veteran of the VFL and back-to-back Superbowl finalist- Like him or hate him, results matter more than opinions. The true test will be forming a team that not only is cohesive enough to win but will get along for an entire season. Ace has the tools and the experience- the question is, what will he do with it this season? 

#4 TxJamesSmithTX- Coaching Comp = Sean McDermott 

Let the TxJamesSmith Hype Train commence! Smith is an owner that could easily be #3 on my rankings, but I decided to hold him back due to his commitment of playing with his friends over possible better VFL talent. Now it’s commendable that he showcases that type of loyalty, but will that loyalty cost him a chance at a title? 

#3 Lucky- Coaching Comp = Kliff Kingsbury

       

At #3 this is a bold prediction for an owner that two seasons ago, almost pulled off the Ultimate Cinderella Story. Coming into last season, Lucky had an opportunity to solidify himself as a top-level owner. He aligned himself with one of the top RB/DC users “IBPROFAM” as his GM and secured at that time-quite possibly the most talented top level QB available for bidding “Shig”. Unfortunately, his team’s season fell apart due to his questionable bid selections and lack of chemistry between lines.. then his star player quit on his team 2 weeks before playoffs. Much like his coaching comp Kliff Kingsbury, this is a make-or-break season that will either end in glory or in flames. There is a rumor circulating between inner circles that pegs another highly touted QB stepping into Lucky’s GM role, we shall see.  

#2 Abyss- Coaching Comp = Andy Reid 

What more needs to be said about this next owner? From the time I joined this league in Season 3 to current day, Abyss time and time again has been an elite level QB and someone who is purposely avoided in line matchups every season. Last season his “downfall” was simple, instead of taking on the responsibilities of Owner, he decided to play second fiddle and GM for Groff. Is Season 7 his Revenge Tour??? 

#1 Ebok – Coaching Comp = Sean McVay

It pains me to publicly admit this, but last season Ebok and company put together a sensational championship run! Their season did get off to a rocky start and many doubters including myself, definitely let him hear about it in General Chat. Though, just like Sean McVay and the Rams in the 2021 NFL season, it’s not how you start- it’s how you finish. Coming into Season 7 now, Ebok and his future teammates will have a major target on their backs- heavy lies the crown and when you’re hands down the league’s biggest troll… major criticism comes with the territory. 

 

HARD KNOCKS IN SEASON:THE BUFFALO BILLS

A LOOK INTO THE VFL BILLS

A LOOK INTO THE VFL BILLS

THE SEASON 1 BILLS
WHEN BEASTE PUT IN HIS OWNERS APPLICATION EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HE WAS COMING WITH A VENGEANCE. THIS WAS GOING TO BE HIS REDEMPTION TOUR AND LIKE EVERY OTHER SEASON, WAS BEASTE AIMING FOR A SUPERBOWL OR BUST!!!!!THIS WAS THE FIRST SEASON WHERE OWNERS HAD TO BID ON THEIR TEAMS AS WELL AS THE PLAYER BIDDING.HOW DID BEASTE PUT TOGETHER A TEAM THAT ACCUMULATED THE MOST WINS IN THE VFL THIS SEASON

THE NUMBER 1 LINE IN THE LEAGUE

 

THE FIRST TASK AT HAND WAS FINDING A GM.KNOWING THAT BEASTE HATES PLAYING SCOUTING GAMES AND DOESNT LIKE TO MEET NEW PLAYERS HE HAD TO FIND SOMEONE WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK.SOMEONE THAT CAN GIVE HIM SOME INSIGHT ON NEW AND OLD PLAYERS.SOMEONE THAT CAN DANCE AND JIGGLE IN THE HOMES OF THE RECRUITS.TMO BEING A FORMER OWNER AND COMMISSIONER WAS THE MAN FOR THE JOB.AS SOON AS HE ACCEPTED THE POSITION HE WENT TO WORK AND BEGAN BUILDING HIS TEAM. THE MOST DIFFICULT TASK WAS FINDING A QB THAT COULD RUN A OFFENSE FOR TOXIC MAURICE OWENS OR AS HIS FRIENDS CALL HIM TMO.NOW REMEMBER THIS WAS THE FIRST SEASON BIDDING ON TEAMS AND WHO WOULD HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN LOGIC WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FOR A TEAM. HE WAS THE PERFECT FIT TO BE THE FIRST QB RECRUITED TO THE BILLS ORGANIZATION.WITH HIM CAME AN ELITE MUT OFFENSE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE TMOS ELITE ROUTE RUNNING.LOGIC ALSO BROUGHT A DEFENSIVE USER THAT COULD HANDLE THE COMPLEX DEFENSE THAT TMO RAN AND COULD ADJUST ON THE FLY TO ANY OF HIS SCHEMES.AFTER GOING FOR 10.5 MILLION THE LAST PIECE WAS A CHEAP RUNNING BACK/DLINEMAN. HERE COMES THE THIRD TOXIC BROTHER WILLY.WITH A REPUTATION FOR BEING A BAD TEAMATE THIS WAS A CHEAP FILL AND BROUGHT SOMEONE WHO COULD RELIEVE THE PRESSURE FROM LOGIC ON DEFENSE AND PROVIDE A SOLID PASS RUSH FOR TMO’S SCHEME TOGETHER THEY WENT 11-1 ON THE SEASON ONLY LOSING ONE GAME TO THE THE BNEGALS LINE LEAD BY DTM KOOLAID.NEXT UP  THE FIGHT FOR SOME USER CALLED BLKSUP3RSA1YAN

KOOLAIDZ TOP 10 MVP RACE

An Article by DtM x KoolAiDz & SixthMallard

In this list, I provide my rankings on who I feel should win MVP this season based on the stats that have been inputted so far. Just note, factors such as win/loss record and strength of schedule are highly taken into consideration. I also recognize there are many players having a great season, so a small honorable mention list will also be included. I would also like to thank Cascade, for taking the time to assist me in completing this article and Nate for posting this article for us. 

 Getthiswork1018 RB/DL (9-0)

Offensive Stats: 125 Rush | 931 Rush Yards | 7.4 YPC | 13 Rush TDS | 6 Rec | 66  Rec Yards | 14 RAC | 3 Rec TDS

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 64 TFLS | 35.5 Sacks | 13 KR | 403 KR Yards | 1 KR TD | 2 PR | 14 PR Yards

Long-time veteran Gethiswork, better known as “ImUncleWillySon” is out here on a mission wreaking havoc against every opponent he has faced. The man is clear favorite so far to win the award with his undefeated record and the fact that he is the overall #1 RB and #1 DL when looking at everyone’s stats. From torching others with James Cook to getting instant pressure with Von Miller, the man can clearly do it all. If he continues this production for the last week of the season, I don’t know if I could see anyone else winning this award.

 IR x Brady QB/LB (8-1)

Offensive Stats: 99 Comp | 145 Att | 2119 Pass Yards | 21 TDS | 13 INTS | 68.3 Comp% | 5 Rush | -3 Yards | 5FGM | 5FGA

 Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 3 TFL | 10 DEF INT | 277 INT Yards | 2 PDEF | 5 DTD | 5 FGM | 5 FGA| 18 KR | 571 KR Yards | 2 KR TDS

I think it’s clear to most that the individual who has a close chance against Willy in the MVP race this season is Brady. While his RB, North managed to win MVP last season, Brady seems to take it upon himself to be the next who ends up winning this award. It would be a great accomplishment for this line to have two of the three individuals win MVP back-back seasons. Apart from his only loss to the Ravens (Champ, Farah, Accountant), Brady has just been dominating his opponents. I’ve seen games where this man will proceed to put up 40+ points and beat his opponents by double-digits. Another person to keep a close eye on as we approach Week 4. 

 Never Practices WR/DB (8-1)

Offensive Stats: 87 Rec | 1971 Rec Yards | 21 TD’S | 577 RAC

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 12 TFL | 11 INT | 121 INT Yards | 4 PDEF | 1 FF | 1 DTD

Rivals, fellow line-mate of both North and Brady also makes it toward the top of this list. We say that most of the receiver’s stats come from the QB throwing it to the CPU, but I’ve seen this man go up and moss opposing DB’s while running his own routes and getting open for Brady. On defense, this guy has also been known for his great users. It’s not a surprise that this line always manages to find success each season. Being the #1 WR in stats and top 5 in DB stats Rivals makes a strong case for himself at MVP. 

 UngluedTiger360 RB/LB (8-1)

Offensive Stats: 137 Rush | 812 Rush Yards | 5.9 YPC | 12 Rush TDS | 2 Fum | 17 Rec | 227 Yards | 2 Receiving TDS | 196 RAC

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 10 TFL | 0.5 Sacks | 6 INT | 68 INT Yards | 2 DTDs | 22 KR | 617 KR Yards | 1 KR TD

Essentially ROTY in Season 5, Tiger has entered the league and proceeded to have two great seasons in a row. It seems him and Koolaid are finally on the same page and are now able to consistently win their games. Tiger has been killing it on the offensive side with Mixon but also seems to be an all-around threat. The YPC can be a concern to some, but Tiger has been a pivotal piece for the Bengals at 1M as they try to make a playoff run. Let’s see if their line as a whole (Tiger, Koolaid, Outaker) can continue to stay on page and finish the season 11-1. 

 eboKtsoP QB/(LB/DB) (7-2)

Offensive Stats:  81 Comp | 127 Att | 1644 Pass Yards | 14 TDs | 11 INT | 3 Rush | 4 Rush Yards | 1 Rush TD
Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 19 TFL | 1 Sack | 9 INT | 151 INT Yards | 3 PDEF | 2 DTDS

Many questioned Ebok’s bidding price at 16.5M but he’s gone out and proved everyone wrong this season. Ebok has gotten himself the best record on the Tampa Bay squad and from the VOD’s I have watched, he has managed to use Brady’s Madden abilities in an efficient manner. We thought Breesus would be the one to play QB this season but Ebok was the one to step up and help this TB squad to a 16-11 record. I understand the TB squad has received a lot of ff’s, but Ebok’s performance should still be recognized as a whole especially with the type of competition he has had to play this season.  

 DtM x KoolAiDz QB/DB (8-1)

Offensive Stats: 60 Comp | 90 Att | 66.7 Comp% | 1270 Pass Yards | 9 Pass TDS | 4 INTS | 1 Rush | 1 Rush Yards | 1 Fum
Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 5 TFL | 10 INT | 166 INT Yards | 9 PDEF | 1 FF | 1 FR | 1 DTD | 10 FGM | 10 FGA

After making his return in season 5, Koolaid had a mediocre performance on the Redskins and eventually got benched in the playoffs for Blunkey. Coming into the new season, there were a lot of doubts about Koolaid’s ability to perform well at QB. It seems what happened in the season prior snapped something inside of him and now in season 6 he has come out strong. If he wants any chance of winning this award though, he will need to have a strong week 4 offensively. Regardless, Koolaid has come to show the rest of the league why he was regarded as a top player in the old VFL days.

 TxJamesSmithx QB/DB (7-2)

Offensive Stats: 60 Comp | 98 Att | 1312 Pass Yards | 12 TDS | 13 INT | 3 Rush | 20 Rush Yards | 1 Rush TD

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 3 TFL | 8 INT | 194 INT Yards | 12 PDEF | 3 DTD |  6 FGM | 6 FGA | 11 KR | 428 KR Yards | 2 KR TDS | 4 PR | 118 PR Yards | 1 PR TD

After week 1, the Chiefs looked like the toughest squad to face with James leading the pack. Although they have fallen from the top spot, James has faced a number of skilled lines and has still managed to have really great success. This does not come as a surprise though as the trio of James, Apollo & Danish have played together for a long time. The TD/INT ratio is the biggest concern if James wants to win this award. But looking at his stats overall, he is playing at a high level and could be considered one of the best returners this season. 

 NORTHZIDE RB/DL (8-1)

Offensive Stats: 86 Rush | 726 Rush Yards | 8.4 YPC | 10 Rush TDs | 12 Rec |  146 Rec Yards | 0 TDS | 57 RAC

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 33 TFL | 15.5 Sacks | 1 INT | 3 INT Yards | 1 PDEF

Former MVP North has also managed to make it onto this list. It’s crazy to see all three members from one line make it, but I feel we are all aware of the skill the Packers first line hold. North is hovering around the top 6/7 spot at both RB and DL which is my main reason as to why he made it on this list. Although it is unlikely he wins this award back-to-back, North is a consistently good player and complements Brady and Rivals extremely well. 

 Critical Telos RB/(LB/DB) (6-3)

Offensive Stats:  95 Rush | 851 Rush Yards | 9.0 YPC | 7 Rush TDs | 10 Rec | 163 Rec Yards | 1 TD | 95 RAC 

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 12 TFL | 7 INT | 226 INT Yards | 2 DTDs | 22 KR | 492 Yards

GEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Introduced to the league by Warpath, this man will most likely win ROTY this season. Although being 6-3, Telos has played at an elite level. Telos, Mocarbone & Gaabage have been a crucial line for the Ravens as they fight and try to make a playoff spot. As I said before, I’m here to give players recognition and Telos has definitely been one of those guys who deserves it. Watching his VOD’s you can see the man knows how to easily read the hole and can also play solid on the defensive side of things. I’m excited to see how Critical Telos does in future seasons. 

XxTmo706xX WR/LB (9-0)

Offensive Stats: 49 Rec | 1006 Rec Yards | 8 Rec TDS | 209 RAC

Defensive/Special Teams Stats: 3 TFL | 6 INT | 35 INT Yards | 1 DTD | 5 KR | 304 Yards | 1 TD

It’s hard not to include the only other player who is undefeated in the league this season. New league owner Tmo has always been a top DC in the VFL and has proven to do his part and make games easier for quarterbacks like Logic & Beaste. You take Tmo out of the equation and there would be no undefeated player in the league this season. He continues to show why he’s a great player and I’m sure he will continue to have success in the playoffs itself.

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

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.

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

S6 Predicted Value vs Actual Value

Okay, I’ll admit, my initial article was completely off compared to how the actual bidding went. One of the main reasons was due to more players going extremely expensive which forced alot of players to take a paycut (see the 500k pool vs the 20m pool for example). 

I think in all, I got 10 predictions right out of 113 players I had to valuate (9%) lol. But it is what it is. Be on the lookout for a salary cap article. 


The left column is from my predicted article from a week ago and the right column is how the bidding actually went. 

Note; on mobile, it may display the tables wrong so I believe the first pool is from my first article, the second pool is how the bidding went.

Owners with Multiple Top bids

** League sources have confirmed that if an owner wins the bid on two teams, they select one team and eat the cap on the second team they won. The second also is not able to be selectable by other owners who put a bid on that team.

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 DBs headed into Madden 23

** Sorry in advance if i accidently put a LB in this list. the issue I’ve ran across with this data is positions tracked over seasons was never documented. So when I work on defensive positions, I have to think or ask people what they played.

 

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

  • a minimum of 2 seasons played at that position
  • INTs, Pass Def, INT Yards and DTDs where the criteria of ranking these DBs. NOTE: these metrics are looked at on a season average; NOT total. 

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

1.) Areisx21 – 20 INTs, 10 PDEF, 3.6 DTDs

2.) IamBeaste – 15 INTs, 14 PDEF, 288 INT YDS, 3.3 DTDs

3.) NeverPractices – 14 INTS, 7 PDEF, 269 INT YDS, 5 DTDs

4.) KxngxChamp – 14 INTS, 8 PDEF, 248 INT YDS, 3.75 DTDs

5.) JPxProdigie – 18 INTS, 16 PDEF, 166 INT YDS, 3.6 DTDs

6.) Breesus – 13 INTS, 8 PDEF, 234 INT YDS, 3 DTDs

7.) RigsTime – 11 INTs, 10 PDEF, 266 INT YDS, 2 DTDs

8.) Th3R3al3st260 – 12 INTs, 7 PDEF, 221 INT YDS, 3 DTDs

9.) Drocknation2 – 10 INTS, 9 PDEF, 228 INT YDS, 2 DTDs

10.) Dfeetu44 – 9 INTS, 8 PDEF, 192 INT YDS, 2 DTDs
