Draft upcoming in Legends and Victory

One team available in Legends:

Montego Bay Pirates: One careful owner, probably underachieved last couple of years capable of a playoff run with the right ownership.

Two teams in Victory:

London Underground and Oslo Aurora

Also have one team available in Franchise Football (roster only):

Pebble Beach Majors: 3-3 after six weeks of season 3 and in a three way tie for division lead.

A couple more teams have become vacant overnight. The League is at end of season and is switching to the new code for season 4 (Bleeding Beta - which will lock in as 0.4.6 upon general release)

How will that effect playcalling in Roster Only - nobody knows. Should be a fun season whatever happens.

Teams available:

Monte-Carlo Slipstreamers
Zulu Warriors
Arkansas Buzzwagons
Wellington Bombers

I'm looking for some 'caretaker owners' for a few teams in League of Legends and Victory Football League. Both Leagues are in the playoff stages with end of season round the corner. I'd like someone with game knowledge (ie everyone in this League) to check in with a team and make sure contracts/rosters are all in order to prevent AI making a pigs ear of contract renegotiations leaving a team crippled for several seasons after.

If anyone wants to take one of the teams, you're more than welcome. Legends is about to go into season 8 and plays super tough with lots of long-standing ownerships and rivalries. Victory is about to finish it's second season which of course means there may be lots of players with contracts about to expire if the previous owner hasn't done their due diligence in extending contracts.

Victory uses the BETA engine which plays very differently to 0.4.5 but gives you a glimpse into the future putting you ahead of the game for the release of 0.4.6. It also allows you to have a say in game development. Currently jdb is working on QB play, improving OL play and improving deep passing routes - it's fun to see QB's scrambling around, Sacks are way too high at the moment and the passing game is struggling but each gameweek is exciting as you get to see small adjustments.

Punt block exploit is gone and speed is less of a factor (still key but strength and technique are seeing increased need) This is doing a lot to limit teams stacking up on WR and CB and playing OOP.

TEAMS AVAILABLE

LEGENDS

Tiger Bay Sabretooths

https://lol.myfootballnow.com/team/19

In serious cap trouble, which may be alleviated somewhat by extending contracts. Three first round picks next season and two the year after. A total of 22 draft picks in the next two seasons, This means some of the ageing driftwood on fat contracts can be ditched

Bavarian Barbarians

https://lol.myfootballnow.com/team/23

Cap situation is better and the team has all it's picks in place for the next three seasons. A couple of old boys on huge contracts need clearing out to put the team in a good spot for free agency.

The Nile Crocodiles

https://lol.myfootballnow.com/team/30

The Cap situation is tight with eight or nine players about to go out of contract. They have 10 draft picks coming up including 2 first rounders.

Mumbai Jumbos

https://lol.myfootballnow.com/team/26

Probably in the weakest position of the four. Contract renegotiations may ease the burden, otherwise they'll need an active free agency targetting the bargain basement. Have their draft picks and an extra 7th rounder the following season.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

VICTORY

Calgary Cutters

https://victory.myfootballnow.com/team/3

No Cap issues, three players who are about to go out of contract. All draft picks in place, went 6-10 in year one and 6-7-3 in year two.

London Underground

https://victory.myfootballnow.com/team/8

No Cap issues, no-one about to go out of contract, all draft picks in place. Year one went 5-11, year two 6-10

Queensland Jacks

https://victory.myfootballnow.com/team/23

24 players with contracts expiring, Only 5 draft picks upcoming (no 2nd or 3rd) and no first rounder the following year. Also have no second pick in three seasons. Went 1-15 and then 4-12.

FRANCHISE FOOTBALL

Just played GW2 of Season 4. We have 5 vacancies. The League has switched to the BETA engine for this season so plays differently to the other Roster Only Leagues.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN PRIZEFIGHTERS

https://ff.myfootballnow.com/team/2

I have just booted the last owner of the team for not having a QB on the roster! Consequently they are 0-2 for the season

MONTE-CARLO SLIPSTREAMERS

https://ff.myfootballnow.com/team/7

Reigning division Champ, started 2-0

WUHAN KLAN

https://ff.myfootballnow.com/team/16

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LEAGUE is in season 8 with four different Legend Bowl winners:
Yellowknife Daggers (3)
Barcelona Bulls (2)
Kimberley Diamonds (1)
Roanoke Settlers (1)

The League runs using the Bleeding Edge BETA software engine and therefore has no restrictions re: Punt Blocks.

The League has a couple of side rules:

: Each team must have an active kicker and an active Punter in the gameday roster

: A team roster can have a max of 10 WR and 11 Secondary players (CB, FS and SS) - This will gradually be reduced over the next two/three seasons by 1 player per season.

: Offense players play on Offense only, Defense on Defense only.

: Injury setting is 74/200 in Pre-season and the standard 100/200 in Regular season

: NO WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS, Players can play anywhere - the caps on numbers for WR and DB are designed to spread the 'speedy' players more evenly between the 32 teams without sacrificing the possibility to play lighter players in positions more suited to there particular skill set. It also encourages players to play players in the position to which they are better suited and take the hit on speed/acceleration.

: Rules are reviewed in the latter stages of each season - possible rules for next season are max. number for RB and minimum number for DT. The Roster number restrictions are designed to promote more realistic rosters closer in alignment to the actual NFL

Just Reykjavik and Mumbai left now. Legend Bowl is on Monday. It would be good to have all 32 teams with owners for the off season.
