7) Next Year
When you look at young teams, you will immediately notice the Philadelphia Liberty. Boasting the most active S18 players, the Liberty are primed to replicate the success of the Wraiths and the Otters within a season or two. Featuring top earners such as Zach Hall at defensive end, Fuzzy Dotson at half back, Thudd Kassel at middle line backer, Adam Harding at defensive tackle, and Jake Dropson as a wide reciever, the Liberty have stacked themselves with users who will develop into impact players on every level of the offense. Throwing in medium earners like Mike Franchet at defensive end, Frost as the best kicker ever, and Stuart Little at corner back, the Liberty also house a few players who will be extremely solid and useful to the team in the future. And that is just S18. This doesn’t include young studs like Emomdov Emoji at corner back, Richard D’Attoria V at safety, Nacho Varga at wide receiver, and other impact players on the team. By S21, the Philadelphia Liberty will be heavy contenders in the playoffs and a real threat to win the Ultimus. Starting in S21, the Philadelphia Liberty might be seen as heavy favorites and have the opportunity to beat every team in their path.
8) Draft Focus
When I take a look at the draft picks available to the Philadelphia Liberty in the S19 NSFL Draft, I do not see much opportunity to fill holes in the team. Obviously, the team will take Avon Blocksdale Jr. in the second round, as general manager iamslm22’s new player is automatically a future Liberty. However, this acquisition fills the team’s biggest hole: the quarterback position. With star quarterback Adriana Falconi set to retire within a season or two, Blocksdale will be able to grow in the DSFL while waiting for the starting quarterback role to be opened up. With this, the Liberty fill up their largest hole in the future which obviously helps the team a great amount. The Philadelphia Liberty only have one other pick in this draft, a pick in the early third round, as the team’s top pick was sent to New Orleans in the trade for Thudd Kassel. In a perfect world, a player like Austin McCormick or Kacey Dream will fall past even some inactive players, which would allow the Liberty to snag one of them. That is extremely unlikely, unless Dream beats McCormick over the head with a helmet. It is not a perfect world, however, which means the Liberty will most likely grab an inactive player to pair with borderline-inactive user iamslm22.
10) Rivalries
As a member of the Portland Pythons for the last two seasons, I want to say I hate the Tijuana Luchadores will all that they are worth (not much). The players never shut up about their own greatness. They are worse than the Cowboys at using old accolades from old players to prop up their current state. This is a team that is perpetually overrated. Their two recent championships were courtesy of chokes from Franklin Armstrong and Diego Espinosa. Without flukes happening, the Luchadores lose both of these championships. This season, you could not discuss the DSFL without some Luchadores claiming they were favorites because of their 13-1 record. And do you want to know what they did with that amazing 13-1 record? They choked in the first round to a team with a negative record that does not even exist anymore. If that isn’t the perfect microcosm of that entire franchise, I do not know what is. Not one person outside of Tijuana enjoys that team. The only good part of that team is the general manage duo of DD and Fuzzy is awesome and they are two solidly-okay users in my opinion. Oh, and I did not even touch on the worst part about them. They used to roster the worst safety that the league has ever seen. Joseph Wozniak is not even worthy of being in Kansas City. It is a team of bums and I have nothing but dislike for them.
17) Robbed
The thing I am most angry about this season is that the Philadelphia Liberty did not make the playoffs. I understand that the roster isn’t on par with a Yellowknife or a Baltimore but look at how they played this season. They gave up the fourth-least points per game out of the entire league, ranking second in their own conference. After a brutal opening stretch of the season, the team went nearly .500 the rest of the way. They lost many, many games when they had good odds. It isn’t like these games were blowouts either; eight of their nine losses were within two possessions, with four of those games being one possession losses. If only two of those had been flipped, the Liberty are the #2 seed in the conference. On top of that, if the sim didn’t screw us against the putrid Sabercats, we would have made the playoffs. Finishing with the same record as San Jose is a joke. Our offense scored over one-hundred more points than they did over the entire season. Statistical measures showed the Liberty being a top-four team for over half of the season, proving the stats are not a fluke. The only explanation is that the Liberty were taken out back by the sim and we could do nothing about it.
