Tier 2: Short Form Tasks (400+ words)
Choose up to TWO for 5 TPE each.
13) Take a step back and predict what the league will look like three seasons from now. Who do you predict will be the dominant teams? Which young players do you think will have morphed into superstars? Will the league have expanded again in the next three seasons, and where would these new franchises be? Don’t be afraid to be creative, but don’t be entirely outlandish either.
I’m new to the league this season, so it’s tough for me to be able to give a realistic prediction on what the league will look like three seasons from now. What I do know is that there are some very solid players in my draft class, which is going to be happening very, very soon. And I feel that the players in this draft will be crucial to the league’s future three seasons from now. Players like Cobra Kai, LeBron James III, Tugg Speedman, Mr Forty-Two, Richard Littlewood and Quavious McGrady will be getting close to their primes, leading their respective teams on the offensive side of the field. And looking to stop these offensive dynamos will be Moe Skeeter, Ernest Lover, Leonard Taylor, and BamBam McMullet. These are just a handful of S26 players that three seasons from now will most likely be on the squad that drafts them next week, they will be getting close to the top of their games by then and hunger to win for their teams. Who might those teams be? Well, to get the top talent in this draft, the teams that pick first will have a slight advantage. So, I’m looking at the two expansion teams first. The Berlin Fire Salamanders own the first selection in this draft and the New York Silverbacks own the second. Berlin has a slightly younger roster than the Silverbacks, so I’m going to give them a slight edge over their expansion partners, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Fire Salamanders, and the Silverbacks for that matter, closer to the top of the standings. They will both be added a stud player with the #1 and #2 picks in this draft, players that will help them move them up the charts. As for expansion, I am unfamiliar with how often the league looks to grow, but I do have a couple potential options for any future expansion teams. With the league already being international, I feel like my home country of Canada would be a solid place to have a team, I would personally choose Vancouver, British Columbia cause I think the city rocks and it has the population and infrastructure to handle a team. My other choice would be Detroit Rock City. I’m a Lions fan, have been for years and even though I know there is a better chance of them losing than winning when I go see them play, I still go, time and time again cause Detroit is a fun city to go to and they know how to have a good time. So, I think a ISFL team would fit in nicely!
15) This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S25 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
I have really enjoyed the league since I signed up. I’m coming from the SHL where I heard a lot about the league, but for whatever reason, I never actually looked into creating a player. SHL was the first simulation league I’ve ever heard of, let alone joined, and I was hooked after the first day. The same happened here. Everyone has been super helpful since I joined, and I’ve met some pretty great people so far. I forgot how fun the whole draft process can be and how quickly the second draft up to the big leagues comes up. It’s such a rush going through the draft questions and talking to the GMs and scouts and I forgot how exciting it all is! As for my player, I couldn’t be happier with his performance. I was drafted by the Tijuana Luchadores, after which I learned that their LBs (including the best defensive player in the DSFL) had been called up, they were looking to fill their spots. I knew these were shoes that I would never be able to fill, but alongside BamBam McMullet (my fellow draftee) we were going to do the best we could. My player was lucky enough to play alongside such good teammates, that he was able to be voted the best rookie defender. I still can’t believe that he won that award, that wasn’t something I was expecting. But on top of all that, the Tijuana Luchadores did the unthinkable and won the Ultimini!!! That was always and will always be my players goal, to help win championships. And so far I’m 1 for 1! Now I’m gearing up for the ISFL draft, it’s been fun talking to all the teams and starting to speculate again where I might be ending up. I really have no clue though and I’m ok with that, I’ll be happy to play for whichever team takes a chance on my player. As for suggestions on what can be improved? I can’t really think of any, I think I joined at a perfect time. I joined early enough before the draft that I was picked up on waivers, so I immediately got into a locker room to be able to start getting familiarized with the league. I am also coming from the SHL, so I had a pretty good idea on the basics on the league. I’ve really have enjoyed every aspects of my rookie season and can not wait to see what the next steps on Vincent Jones Jr’s career will be!
