task 7
This doesn't exactly fit the task but it's generally related to it and has been something I've wanted to put out there but I've been nervous too because its really just me being selfish and its generally not a good look to bring attention to your woes when you hurt your team. I'm not that kind of guy but now my old player is retired, my new player is going to be drafted. What I am talking, of course, is my decision to retire Fabricio Baldari, who was a defensive end, and recreate as Alejandro Chainbreaker, a linebacker.
First off the name was bad. I knew it was bad the moment I got drafted and I've been dragging it behind be ever sense. People don't know how to use the letters in the word and they try way to hard to outsmart themselves on it. Its FAB Ricio Bald ari. Its really shocking to me how hard it was for people to pronounce it correctly. Meanwhile, we've got Hanyadi out there and everyone pronounces it perfectly the first time they see it. It's a legitimate thing about a player that they need a good name to go to the hall of fame. Oh yeah I wanted to go to the hall of fame with Fabricio and I was on pace to do it.
I have no idea why it worked so well but somehow Fabricio Baldari was a Tackle for loss king and I was always a huge proponent of tackles for loss. It should be treated the same as a sack as it results in an equal chance to the playing situation but for some reason, I suspect because people have no respect for linemen on either side of the ball but thats another discussion entirely, its bearly considered half the value of a sack. Defensive ends in the sim collect TFL's a lot more then they do sacks while Defensive tackles collect more then they do TFL's. I liked this though. My plan for Fabricio Baldari was to get him in the hall of fame by breaking the TFL record and showing the league that TFL's are a legitimate stat that people should pay attention to.
Now at the end of my fourth year, third year with the hawks I was putting up 12.6 or so TFL's a season. The TFL record for the league career wise was 126 I believe, these numbers line up I realize looks bad but give or take it for the sake of it. This meant that I had a good buffer for even if I slowed down on this rate going into regression or had a bad season I would still break the record and have a good argument to get into the hall.
Well this didn't happen. despite having maxed the relevant stats for a Defensive lineman and pumping my endurance to 90 my production fell off a cliff when I signed my next contract. Now despite having more TPE then the years I was getting votes for dloy I was getting almost nothing for stretches of time. I really couldn't see myself just existing season after season with a terrible player that puts up poor stats and never gets anywhere. So I retired and recreated.
task 14
Alejandro Chainbreaker doesn't just contain the physical stats that front offices across the DSFL salivate over he also processes the type of intangibles that are required to succeed in professional sports. He was a dominant defensive midfielder for his college soccer team, often transversing 9 kilometers a game. But while he was the captain of his college team he was earning a degree in political science as well as dealing with constant issues resulting from his father's political career.
For as far as Alejandro was able to go he would have always been linked to his father's rise and fall in Argentina. While American Universities are known for being sources of unrest and protest in America, in Argentina they are considered a legitimate source of rebellion against the state.
Every player shows a risk for scandal and questions arise with every draftee over how they will be able to negotiate with the local media and fanbase. Alejandro has been raised from birth to deal with this while also gaining a degree in college on how to deal with it. If anyone in a locker room will prove to be an effective presence in dealing with week to week issues as a captain it will be Alejandro Chainbreaker.
In conclusion, while he may have some issue in making the transition to being a linebacker, Alejandro Chainbreaker is a can't miss prospect for on the field and off the field success.
task 16
This article is about the Grey ducks and the London royals. The Grey duck had the Defensive back of the year the offensive lineman of the year the receiver of the year the quarterback of the year offensive rookie of the year tied for gm's of the year The defensive player of the year and the leagues most valuable player (who had the top two players in voting for the most valuable player). Meanwhile, the London royals had the Linebacker of the year and the punter of the year. Now everyone knows the ending of the Grey ducks year, losing in overtime by a field goal. And the Royals would go on to lose the title game to the Luchadores. Granted the league is probably in a better place without having the ducks and the luchadors go to the Ultimini every year, both teams filled with titles and appearances in the final game, and the rapidly changing nature of the Developmental Sim Football League lends itself to a constant shuffling of who is strong and who isn't. But the weight of award winners on the side of the grey ducks, let alone having the Most Valuable player and the second place most valuable player has to show that the Minnesota Grey ducks were a better team this season then the London Royals.
