The Royals, as of now, do not look to hot for a Ultimini contention. With a record of 2 and 6 before the last two games it looked like there is a possibility for the royals to take the last place in their division. This honestly would not have been too suprising for most people since this is their first year in this league. As a locker room member though I can not emphasize enough that their current 4 and 6 record might not be a valid representation of their true strength. But what are the Problems that have to be solved for them to make a Ultimini-run? First off, the Royals had some real problems in their special teams unit. Since nobody seems to know how special teams really work in the Sim this might just be a sign of bad luck. The Royals also experienced some tough referee calls in crucial situations. All in all there are a few signs that the Sim was not too kind to our new players in London. What the data does show is, that every week the Royals show the hightest TPE gains in the league. This might be already showing because the Royals won their last two games. With Key Changes in their rosters, like adding players in the DT and WR spots, the Royals started to look way better than they did before. Ryeu was moved from the defensive end spot to a linebacker position and together with Dered De Ville this linebacker core is just scary. Ryeu picked up a season high of 18 tackles across the whole league in his linebacker debut. In the second game he forced two fumbles. If this trend continues, maybe the Royals will shock some of the DSFL members and do manage to make a run for the trophy.

Kansas city coyotes will will win the ultimini! They will because they have a stacked roster We are 7-3 and it has been a really good and historic year and if we win out every game now on we are definitely going to the ultimini. The only thing in our way is Myrtle Beach and it will be a tough opponent since i think the ultimini will be fought vs MB vs KCC. But we can get Home field advantage since sim favors Home teams than away teams. Its pretty weird but if KCC gets Home field advantage we will have a huge chance of winning especially since we have a really good roster and could combat MB. I think KCC will manage to win out its last games since the schedule seems pretty easy(No offense to teams were facing lol) but most likely we will win out and hopefully get Home field advantage and beat out MB. It would be a dream come true if me and my team win the Ultimini in my rookie year and others as well. Im pretty sure our GMs would be proud of us and i would be really proud of my teammates.

The Arizona Outlaws are in rebuilding mode. I would not say that they are in tank mode, because we really are trying to win the games we play, but we know that our team is missing some key pieces, traded during this season. This team is working to reach its peak in a couple of seasons, so until then we have to endure getting only a couple of wins a season.
This next draft is really important to help us, because the amount of picks we have is gonna allow us to address team needs. if we were not on an expansion season, we would probably have 1st overall pick, but in this case we will get the 3rd or 4th pick, and on a deep draft like this, we should find some players to help us in the long run.
The fact that we are having a bad season is not also a great invite for possible free agents to join the team, so that is why this draft is important, because rookies have no choice to come to Arizona and once they are here, i am 100% sure that we can convince them to stay for their whole career. We have a great locker room and the team is rising. Slowly, but steadily.

The Portland Pythons may be 5-5, a mediocre record, but if the season ended today, we would still be in the DSFL playoffs. This is no thanks to our terrible offense, who are averaging only 17 points a game. We have the worst rushing offense in the league, probably because we throw the ball way too much. We have the least rushing attempts in the league, and our RBs aren't even that bad. Tatsu Nakumara is a beast despite only being a S22 rookie, not one of those bullies like Frost who get held back. Our QB has thrown the most interceptions, which is definitely a problem. Our defense is carrying the team, which is expected after our 3 picks in the top 12 all went towards cornerback. We have 11 interceptions, 5 from me, which is tied for first in the DSFL. We have the most tackles for loss also. In order to win enough games to clinch a playoff spot, we need our defense to continue carrying the offense. If we really want to win our offense just needs to go from bad to just average. I have confidence that our team can get our shit together and start winning games. If somehow we fail to achieve our goal this year, we need to put more emphasis next year on offense, whether that be to get more OL or get more WRs. Our rushing offense needs to get going and we need to start throwing less interceptions.

The Norfolk Seawolves currently sit at the bottom of the SFC South through 10 games.

However, they are only 1 game out of first place.
Despite their disappointing place in the standings, they currently have the 4th ranked offense and the 2nd ranked defense in the entire league.

They are primed for a big finish to the regular season, and fully expect to win the SFC South.

They say that defense wins championships, and Norfolk has a stout unit on that side of the ball, especially in the secondary.

The Seawolves have 41 passes defended, which is second in the DSFL. To go along with that, they have 38 tackles for losses, and 3 defensive touchdowns.

Everywhere you look, someone is making plays when it counts.
Their 5 and 5 record has them flying under the radar, but they will be shining when all is said and done.

The Seawolves have solid players at every position, as well as a few offensive and special teams standouts that will help bring the Ultimini parade to the streets of Norfolk.

Panda, Norfolk's punt returner, with 2 TD's and an 18 yard average per return, is a lock for Special Teams Player of the Year.

The defense has played great overall, but sometimes overlooked is the play of Defensive End Jimbo Jr. He has 8 sacks and 16 tackles for losses. He has been a beast on the line.

Also mentioned as a standout has been the play of their Tight End Lewandowski, who currently leads the league in receptions among tight ends. He also has 12 pancake blocks, showing his versatility as a run blocker.

So, as we head towards the playoffs, there is still much to be decided in the last few weeks of the season.

The Seawolves will be remembered as the champions of Season 21, and they will have earned it with their hard work, dedication, and positive locker room.

Seasons come and go, but Seawolves are forever.

The two-time defending champion Minnesota Grey Ducks have had an unusually rocky season. Technically speaking, we are not all the way out of the playoff hunt, but the likelihood of making it is almost non-existent. With tough must-win road games against the Portland Pythons and Kansas City Coyotes, things seem incredibly dire. How did we get here?

We have a maxed out QB, RB and TE leading our offense, as well as other incredible assets at RB and WR. We have a large number of great players and high earners on defense as well. Our GMs work like hell to run testing on different strategies and put us in the best position to win. But, something along the way has not clicked. Five of our seven losses have been by one score. One of those coming in overtime on a 74 yard run. The other two losses were complete blowouts of 20 and 32 points. If any of those close games had fallen the other way, we'd be right there in the mix. Unfortunately, they didn't and here we are.

Going forward, I believe the Ducks need to focus on getting great players at O-Line and some more help in the secondary. Our offense has struggled for the majority of the year to find any rhythm, and I think O-line is the key to solving that issue. The players are certainly not the issue, as everyone is locked in and doing their best to improve week over week. I'm confident Minnesota can, and will, fly high again.

The Kansas City Coyotes currently sit at number 1 in the DSFL, with a record of 7-3. Our success so far this season can’t be traced to the outstanding performance of a single position group or player, but instead to the overwhelming sense of camaraderie and the need to improve within our team. Everyone has shown their ability to perform at a high level, and neither offense nor defense is asked to pick up the pieces of the other. On offense, our most notable playmakers include Chika Fujiwara, arguably the best quarterback in the league at the moment, Eddie Jeeta, the speedy receiver set to make a splash in the NSFL next season, and, Andrew Nova, the dominant running back. Each of these players are arguably the best at their positions or within at least the top 3, but even so, they aren’t being asked to dominate all the time, as Michael Whitheblock, Kevin Fakon, and Tree Gelbman have been performing at extremely high levels as well. On defense, our most notable players include Phat Boi, the high earning defensive tackle, Jon Bois, literally Jesus reincarnated at safety, Chester Sweets, our lockdown corner, and Sean O’Donohue, our best all round linebacker. In addition, we have plenty of other players who can solidify the other parts of the defense, and with the addition of a couple new players this past week, our depth is right where it should be. Ultimately, our team has a great offense, a great defense and overall great team chemistry, all of which will lead us to an Ultimini Championship.
