Only 3 retirees this time, 1 of whom has decided to continue anyway. Could do with a couple of really good draft picks but not expecting too much.

I'm losing two starting DLs and my starting RB. Unfortunately (maybe fortunately for others) I'm losing Prater

This should be a challenge for me, I have 7 (6 on offense) players retiring. two of them are 30, two are 31, two are 33 and one 34 year old. NONE of them have offered to stay. I didn't expect that many 30 and 31 year olds to retire, and I'll have to find help to replace the DE and QB. Regardless, this many retirements will weaken my offense for a couple seasons until the new players can develop.

And both my league and Supercup schedules look tough. I see very few if any league games where I am favored to win. And my first game is against the Free Agent Mascots.

We'll see what I can do this season...

5 of those 7 players were starters last season (QB, RB, FB, WR, DE) and two backup OL.

I lost 8 starters last season, including my #1 LB, my #1 CB, and my #1 OL. Next season I'll be losing my #1 RB and my #1 DE Oh well, just means first wave is retiring. Second wave should be better players anyhow since they were trained up in a better YA.

My oldest player just turned 29, never had to deal with a retirement! Which means I'm probably so under-powered that every week will be a pancake fest.

Still, looking forward to it!

My average age is 30.5!!!

I'm not sure what under-powered means any more - most of my players have maxxed out skills and experience but was pretty much irrelevant last season.

10 retirements - 3 of which offered to stay. This is probably my last season in RZA before having a break so probably doesn't matter - could do another season I think if we promote.

On the plus side, you should be looking good a couple seasons from now.

My rating is over 75, with an average age of only 26.6, so there should be some good seasons ahead I think.

Hope everyone had a good first round.

Got my 2nd choice at number 14. Prioritising youth and exp.

Capped speed at 47.2 but uncapped strength at 41, so will be a physical beast when all is said and done. Decent INT and TW, and only 19 years old with 3* Exp already. Will be able to start anywhere on defense by the time he's 21.

Notable steal of the 1st Rd goes to Melittlemenon thepitchhitchin, picking up a guy I had at No.4 on my big board at pick 24.

Was very happy with this pick. I had him as 5th on my board but if I'd have known that strength was still yellow at 44.6 would have put him 4th. Had yours in the top ten as well and would have been more than happy with that.
