7. My experience in the league has been pretty positive so far. I found the league through the r/Packers subreddit and joined thinking it would be something small on the side that I would check in on every once in a while. After I made an account on the forums, I was in awe. There was so much to do, so much to explore. I was taken aback and thought about quitting because I never thought I would be able to figure it all out. However, day by day I got the hang of things around the league. There are still a lot of things I haven’t explored yet and don’t quite understand but eventually, this will not be the case. Painted and Russ have been instrumental in my early days in the league. They have answered all of my questions to the fullest degree, no matter how trivial they might be (that rhymes!). However, the entire league has been friendly. I am looking forward to meeting and befriending more people in the coming weeks. I thought I was doing well TPE-wise until I looked at my draft class index and saw that there were people with almost triple my TPE. After I saw this, I realized that I wasn’t scrolling down far enough on many of the forum posts and that there are TPE opportunities galore. Despite this, I believe I am off to a decent start. I am on the forums every day pretty much looking for TPE opportunities and just learning about the league. I have yet to be drafted (I am writing this on draft day) but I am very excited. I can’t wait to see which team takes me first overall (hehehe). No matter when I get drafted, I will be very thankful (but I will be paying attention to what teams pass on me).
16. The primary thing I bring to a team is a burning passion to improve. I want to be the best wide receiver in DSFL history. Period. I will always seek opportunities for TPE and league money to upgrade my player. I promise that I will work hard every day to be the best. If you take the chance on me, you will get a player that gives it his all and does not settle for anything. This desire to improve also applies to my teammates. I will watch every game in its entirety, paying special attention to when I am on the field, and see what can be better. I want my team to be the best team in the league. If we are to achieve this, we need to better ourselves every day. If someone is slacking, tell them. If someone is doing well, tell them. It takes a team to win and I will do whatever I can to help my team win it all. I have only one ask for the team that drafts me: match my desire.
25. I chose to be a wide receiver because that is my favorite position when I play football IRL. I did not know, at the time of creating my player, that wide receiver is a very popular position in this sim league. Perhaps I would be more sought after if I were in a more scarce position. So, in a sense, wide receiver isn’t really a position that was “available” in the first place, value-wise. But if I were to change positions, I would probably choose cornerback. CB is my favorite position to play on defense when I play football (although when playing 7 on 7 there are only like 2 defensive positions). I would choose corner mainly because the position is so vital and can change the outcome of a game instantly. Look at Super Bowl 56. Bengals cornerback Eli Apple got torched and almost single-handedly won the Rams the game. If Apple was not bad at his job, maybe the outcome of the game would have been in Cincinnati’s favor. If I were at cornerback, I would lock down whatever receiver I was matched against (a reverse Eli Apple). If you are a good cornerback, your team benefits greatly (hence why Eli Apple’s team did not benefit).
