I will be picking an Offensive Team of the Half-Season. I will follow along with the AP NFL All Pro Team selection and will pick 1 QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 5 OL (Since the index doesn't differentiate between LT/RT or LG/RG, I will pick 2 T, 2 G, and 1 C). Here is the team:
QB: Dexter Zaylren![BER BER](https://forums.sim-football.com/images/smilies/isfl/BER_thumb.png)

At QB, the main deciding factor was Zaylren's efficiency. Zaylren has a 112.9 passer rating, while no other quarterback even reaches 100, and he has thrown just 2 interceptions despite throwing 26 touchdowns. The only argument against Zaylren is having lower volume than the other top quarterbacks, but the larger gap in efficiency is enough to still make him the clear top QB.
At RB, Goat Tank is the league's leading rusher and has done this by having great efficiency. Looking at the Top 5 running backs by yardage, Goat Tank is the only one with an average greater than 5, with 3 of the running backs not even topping 4.5. Tank has had a decently sized workload and has still managed to maintain extremely efficient numbers, which makes him a clear candidate for the league's top RB.
At WR, Luke Quick is an obvious candidate due to his absurd efficiency. He averages 19.1 yards per catch and the next best is just 16.5. Quick's efficiency isn't just a product of low volume as he ranks #2 in the league in receiving yards. Next on the list is Tugg Speedman who is currently leading the league in receiving yards with a gap of more than 100 yards between him and 2nd place. Speedman has taken on a heavy workload as he ranks #2 in the league in receptions but has still retained a strong efficiency with an average of 15.6 yards per catch, which ranks #6 in the league. While Raphael Delacour is the next receiver on the list by yardage, I gave the final WR spot to Jake Fencik instead due to having only slightly lower yardage while having a much better average and an extra touchdown.
At TE, Borgo San Lorenzo and Adam Spencer stand out as a clear Top 2 due to their yardage numbers compared to the rest of the pack. The two have very similar numbers as both average 9.8 yards per reception and San Lorenzo has slightly more yardage due to having an extra reception. However, Spencer has 2 more touchdowns despite them having nearly identical volume, which was the deciding factor.
At T, I decided to put more weight on pancakes than sacks allowed since the sacks allowed numbers are small and a sack could happen on a fluke play, so I feel pancakes are probably a better indicator of overall play. Bruce Buckley and Ananda Adyan were the clear Top 2 in terms of pancakes despite having both allowed sacks, with Buckley having allowed 2 sacks. However, there is a large pancake gap between them and the best tackles with no sacks allowed, so I felt these two were worthy of the T spots on this team.
At G, Felix Archstone was an obvious choice as he leads all Gs in pancakes without allowing any sacks. While there were other Gs with more pancakes than Maiteers Rico-Shea, all of those others had allowed at least 1 sack while Rico-Shea has not allowed any. None of those other Gs has more than a 4 pancake advantage over Rico-Shea so the pancake gap did not seem large enough to overcome the difference in sacks allowed, so I gave the second spot to Rico-Shea.
At C, Manhattan Project leads in pancakes and has 1 sack allowed, but Northern Goshawk is just 2 pancakes behind while having 0 sacks allowed. Since the gap in pancakes was so small in this case, I gave the spot to the player who had not allowed any sacks.
