How can the Tijuana Luchadores get to the Ulti-bowl next season?
Great question. I think it depends on the upcoming s25 ISFL draft. That is the thing to consider. If the core of players Tijuana has right now is not called up to play in the ISFL, then I believe the team is still set to dominate the DSFL next season - of course, baring any weird sim stuff that always seems to happen.
But there are a handful of players that will most likely be called up. Players that are capped in the DSFL and have spent several seasons playing for Tijuana. Players like Doug Howlett (season 23), Friedrich Vequain (season 22), Maverick Bowie(season 24), Adam Schell (season 24), and Icebox Riposte (season 24). I expect all these players to be called up to the ISFL next season. And these leaves some glaring holes that need to be filled before next season starts.
The most significant need will be wide receivers.
Doug Howlett led all DSFL receivers in yards with 1002 and tied for third place with seven touchdowns. Meanwhile, Friedrich Vequain had 681 yards and hauled in five touchdowns.
Losing two capped wide receivers is going to hurt the offenses tremendously. And it will put season 25 draftee Mark Walker in the spotlight as the number one option in this passing attack. Other wide receiver weapons will be needed to be picked up in the upcoming DSFL draft for the Luchadores offense to have any success next season.
Also, hurting the offense will the loss of linemen Icebox Riposte. Tied for third in league with fifty-one pancakes filling the void that Riposte leaves behind will also need to be a priority for the team. Adam Mellott, although also a monster on this O-line, will do all he can to help to close the gap that Riposte leaves.
Moving on to the defensive side of the ball for Tijuana, you would think losing a player like Adam Schell would hurt. Schell's loss might not be as noticeable as one might think.
Schell had himself a monster of a season, leading the DSFL to tackle 123 and accounting for nine sacks while adding three forced fumbles to the excellent stat line. Schell is in the conversation for Defensive Player of the year.
The other loss to the strong Tijuana defense is safty Maverick Bowie, whose presence on the field is enough to sway opposing QBs to look the other direction.
The loss of Schell and Bowie is going to be felt. Luckily for Tijuana, they have already filled that void with the strong season 24 draft class of highly talented defensive prospects. Players like DE Tex Wrecks, LB Terry Tate, CB Rich Triplet, DT Vance Slattery, S NationalSimulation FootballLeague, and CB Ben Alexander-Arnold, are active and will all be capped very soon - if not capped already.
The Tijuana defense will be just fine.
