Hehe. I was actually. Sometimes i have an acute ability to hope and dream.

WR wasn't as bad as I first thought. Took a second look and realised, "all good".

Got another CB which you know about, which has given us depth at that position.

There was not a LB which high INT for MLB in the current roster, so I have taken a punt on using a 4 star BPOS LB with high INT.

Once I got down to the nitty gritty of the roster, I broke each player down into 4 catagories. Main skills, speed/strength, stamina and consistency. I found many players had 2-3 high stats of each of these, but some positions were heavy being the same 1 catagory for all players.

So I have taken the approach of selecting players that varied in those catagories.

Some have high:-
main skills, spd/str, consistency
main skills, stamina, consistency
spd/str, stamina, consistency
main skills, spd/str, stamina

DL was the biggest postion that I did this. Most of last years DL have very high main skills, but lacked spd/str, stamina and consistency. By taking players with slightly less main skills, I have replaced them with players that do have high spd/str, stamina, consistency.

Hopefully this give the squad a good all round approach that will allow us to change if required against whomever we play against. It just gives as alot more options to play various kinda of tactics.

I also replaced a few players from last cups roster. Most of these are the backups, just giving us better a depth chart in the roster in case of injuries. Most starters will retain their spots.

I would like to thank cash_box for his knowledge that he has passed on to me. And to faulcon and daudy for finding some new players to improve the squad. And to all the other managers that answered my questions and provided info.

As we still have 6 day until the roster needs to be finalized. I'd still like to hear from managers there advice/comments/ideas/feedback to improve the roster.

Otherwise... Bring on Game 1!!!

Hey ryan you mentioned you dont have a MLB with high INT and what not, ever thought of playing a safety at that positions as they should have high INT and good tackling skills its a positive suggestion anyways I hope it helps.

Is consistency such a big deal? Seems inconsistency can work in one's favour as often as not, i.e. bumping a player to a higher game rating as often as a lower rating, depending on the roll. Over a period of time, having 1 consistency player effectively works out the same as the 20 consistency player who always gets the expected rating. Personally, I kind of like the uncertainty of it all...

The roster has consistent and inconsistent players. Covers all bases.
