3. Another season has ended (S48) so let’s see how it went and what awaits us in the future.
Starting with ASFC, last place went to Honolulu Hahalua which is something everyone knew about, so I can only congratulate IceBear on successful tanking. As for the future, well, actually on the offensive side of the ball HON starts to look pretty good, with QB in prime, powerhouse of the RB and up and coming WR corps, alas their defense is subpar. Next season prediction: 7th.
6th place last season went to New York Silverbacks, exactly as I predicted, for this upcoming season they might even challenge HON for last place. Definitely an ageing squad, although they do have some promising rookies, opposite of HON decent defense but not so good offense. Next season prediction: 6th.
Tied for 6th last season - Austin Copperheads, which I had at 5th so pretty accurate, a slightly better version of NYS, they have good QB but question we have to ask, can RBs replace WR, as AUS has almost none to speak of and again decent defense. Next season prediction 5th.
4th last season - Orange County Otters, a disappointment for this team which I had as ASFC number 2. Here we have good pass team lacking impactful RB with middling defense, they do have some decent rookies waiting in the wings but that’s thing of the future. Next season prediction 4th, but easily could swap places with AUS.
3rd last season - New Orleans Secondline, I had them at 4th for last season but honestly it was pretty close between top 4 of ASFC. Now for this next season this team to be the most stacked out of all league, so if they fail to secure first place you have to ask what GMs are doing.
2nd last season but also The Champions - Arizona Outlaws, had them as number 1 which didn’t happen but they won Ultimus so all is fine. Now this team is not getting younger but for this season will still be force to be reckoned with but I’m slightly worried for their future. Next season prediction 2nd.
1st place last season - San Jose SaberCats, last season I had them going for 3rd so they definitely exceeded my expectations, they’re well rounded team, not too old not too young with decent rookies in DSFL but considering rest of the league I’ll place them again at 3rd for next season.
Now, NSFC – last place Colorado Yeti, which I had going for the 2nd place but instead the tanked harder than HON, not sure what I was smoking. Definitely worst team in the league with only one player over 1000 TPE. Last place again.
6th - Berlin Fire Salamanders was my selection for last place last season but then Yeti happened. But to be honest they’re not much better than COL. Next season prediction 6th.
5th - Sarasota Sailfish was my pick for 6th place last season (Damn you Yetis), now this season I think they might shake things up, probably one of better defenses in the league and top RB, ageing QB and lack of elite WR might weight the down however. Next season prediction 4th.
4th - Yellowknife Wraiths which I as you might have guessed had at 5th. Not as good defense as the Fish although still pretty good and no top of the line RB but instead QB in his prime and elite WR. For now I’ll rank them 5th for next season.
3rd - Cape Town Crash now this is a disappointed and I can’t even blame COL, had them winning NSFC, but instead they fell flat, QB that’ll probably run a lot but for a team with top of the line RB and WR is it actually a good thing? Also kinda feels like it might be the best defense in the league. Next season prediction – 2nd.
2nd - Baltimore Hawks which I had at 3rd last season. For this upcoming season they’ll go with top 2 RB system, along with elite WR and QB, will they pass, will they run? Dunno, but they’ll be good at it. And again as seen with most of the top teams they have heavily invested in defence. Next season prediction 1st.
1st - biggest surprise of the season, Chicago Butchers, had them at 4th, so apologies to all the Butchers. This season I don’t think it’ll go as well, they QB is way down into the regression and they defense is while good not as stacked as some other teams. Next season prediction – 3rd.
