14.) Expansion is always an exciting moment for any league (sim or real), and I think it would be a welcome addition here. With over 50 players coming in the next draft, even jumping up to 16 teams would give every team at least 3 solid prospects in this season alone. 16 is a nice round number, and would give the option to split the 2 Conferences into 4 Divisions, allowing for more intense divisional rivalries and a more formulaic schedule. With this new schedule, each team could play teams in their division twice, teams in the opposite division within conference once, teams in one of the other conference's division once (with the specific division alternating each season), and two games against teams who ranked the same as them within their division (i.e. 1st place in ASFC West the previous season would play 1st place in the ASFC East and 1st place in whichever NSFC division they did not play this season). As for the divisions themselves, the ASFC would have the West division (consisting of Arizona, Honolulu, Orange County, and San Jose) and the East division (consisting of Austin, New Orleans, New York, and an expansion team) while the NSFC would have the International division (consisting of Berlin, Cape Town, Yellowknife, and an expansion team) and the USA division (consisting of Baltimore, Chicago, Colorado, and Sarasota). Of course, we need to fill those teams. For the ASFC East, I propose the Nashville Honky-Tonk. Their primary colors would be yellow & purple, with its logo consisting of a fancy cowboy boot branded with a musical note on the side of it. As for the NSFC International, I believe the ISFL should tap into a market that is currently lacking in any team: the Asian market. Tokyo or Shanghai seem like the obvious choices for that, so I'm gonna throw a slight curveball and go with the Seoul eSports. Their main colors would be black & gold, and their logo would be that of a head facing forward wearing aviator glasses and a headset.
18.) With the draft coming up, teams have been chomping at the bit to get a chance to acquire the services of Seer Ial. And really, who can blame them? Ial is one of the fastest players in the draft, and his unique blend of speed, quickness, and sure hands is matched by none other within the class. There might be a handful of players who are either more agile, have better hands, or possibly even be a step faster, but there is not a single other player who combines all three attributes quite like he does. There is a reason many mock drafts have Ial going as not just the top receiver in the draft, but the top offensive player in the entire draft (and in fact, there was even one mock that tagged him as first overall, though that seems a bit of a stretch). Aside from the physical attributes, adding Ial to the team adds a player who has a winning attitude (having never missed the playoffs in his albeit short DSFL career) and is the definition of a team player. He will do whatever it takes to win a game, and cares much more about the final outcome than any personal performance.
34.) The Bondi Beach Buccaneers had a huge influx of talented rookies this season that helped lead the team to their first playoff appearance since S41. Stone Wall, originally drafted as an offensively lineman, quickly slimmed down and stepped up as the starting running back this season, gaining over 1,000 yards from scrimmage. Wide receiver Seer Ial became a legitimate weapon accross from Meo Stickyhands-McGee, giving Bugs multiple options in the passing game. On the defensive side of things, Cleetus Beauregard provided a strong presence on the line of scrimmage, Reuben Mobbs gave stabilitiy in the middle of the field, and Leroy Jenkins added support in the secondary. The biggest impacts, however, came from a couple of players who joined the team midseason. Huge Yakman joined Bondi Beach in a midseason trade, and he was an instant boost to the defense. Yakman had his first two career interceptions on the Bucs, and both of them were turning points in those two games that led to a Bondi Beach victory. There was also the late signing of WW Jatt to fill in at defensive tackle. In just 4 games, Jatt accumulated 3 sacks, 1 tackle for a loss, forced 2 fumbles, and recovered 1 of them, returning it for a touchdown. Extrapolated over a full season, Jatt would have easily been on of the top defensive players this season.
