And based on those rankings, here are the spreads of the more interesting upcoming games on Saturday: (negative spread means home team is favored)

Chelt Nam Bobbers @ San Diego Blitz -6
KMN Mandalorians @ mystics -6
Social Distance Runners @ Black Dragons -4
Sunrise City Prarie Dogs @ Paris Guardians 5

Will the Doggies remain the only unbeaten team?

If I survive in Elite with Pete playing against me it will be a great success


After so so so many seasons really can't get it how 34 catch, 32 agi, 29 pos pretty stupid guy with 29.7 int can get 21 cathes in a game with only two drops playing against at least 45.5 all defensive skills CBs?

And how 27.3 carrying RB can get 5.4 yards per carry in 7 carries?
Or one with 21.1 carrying RB can get 3.7 yards per carry in 7 carries?

Or how 14.1 blocking FB can get all 19 good blocks in a game?

And how a 70% defense can shoutout 82+ offense in 35 minutes?

Or how can 60% and 73% score more points than a lot of teams with 85%+ offense agains 83%+ defenses?

Lots of how how how how how.

Season 48 it comes to life again.

And will live all the way in 56.

Lots of thinking ahead for me and my team.
Once again there is something so simple in this game and we are not seeing it.

Only one person know.

But as I said once in forum, you can love this game or you can leave this game.

It is up to each one of us.

Each time it is so frustrating when I see skills of team that beats me.

And I just can't leave my thoughts just for me.

Mr elephant.

As far as I can put together player individual skills have very little to do with outcomes. Just expenses. The weighting of skills vs other tangibles are wrong. IMO.

Mr Duck left here with the exact same frustration.

Thanks, but your team seems really stronger than mine. We had a great opening with 4 wins and 1 loss in overtime, but we were unable to stop magpies offense yesterday.

Great job with all this numbers Olband!

Mate,

I have been in your shoes and have been frustrated as hell and first off, I agree with you that the skills on which we work on for seasons should have a bigger outcome on the game. However it is not so easy.

And to be fair, Pete has mentioned over and over again that he intended to create a game where on any given Sunday a lower team can beat a better team.

And he has reason. In many football games out there, put a player with a high single skill (mostly speed) in a certain situation and he can flat out dominate games. I have had 15 sacks a game or 350 receiving yards on another really good Football Simulation. Football is awfully complex to simulate, there are gonna be loopholes,

Back to RZA: Never judge any outcome just on snaps of a single game. Far to few records and random influence is on every play. Over the course of the season, your 45 skill players will fare better than 35 skill players. But skills are just one part of the equation.

You see the same guys battle for the championship every season, so over the course of the season, luck evens out, but you still can lose to a team not making glaring mistakes on any given Sunday

Amen KMN! Well described.
I had a thread about this a while back, suggesting that (at least for single games) luck is a far bigger decider than playbook. With even teams, the one with a better playbook can get beat by dumb luck. And yep, as stated so eloquently, any given Sunday a lame team can catch lightning in a bottle and come out on top. (I did it against TigerCats 1st game of the season... had no business winning that one.) They're just not going to do it 10 out of 16 games. Random events come in clumps, but the numbers do even out with enough instances.
