(S26) - PT 5 - Fortune Teller

[SchwarzNarr]

I think it will be an interesting era for the league moving forward. With the sim transition, I anticipate a good number of retirees and recreates potentially earlier than careers should have ended, as older users are looking to set and break records within the new sim, and that wouldn't be possible on older players. While the past few Reddit drafts have offered the league the opportunity for expansion, I believe that this current reddit class will not, especially with how small the classes in between the reddit drafts have been. The number of retirees will make the draft class larger, but it will also hamper the current teams. Therefore, I don’t think that S28 will bring with it the expansion that everyone is dreading. This will offer some stability for the first half of the 2021 year, and the first several seasons after the sim.


I think that there will be shifts in the meta, as defensive line players may grow less happy with their stat lines, while having more and more human offensive line players will become the new norm and become an important asset to the team. I could see the future bringing with it a removal of OL bots with it potentially shifting to another position (Defensive Line?) or even eliminated all together as the league becomes healthy enough to continue to support teams without bot players at any position (outside of at the DSFL level). When we continue our league expansion, I would wonder if it will be at 16 teams or 18 where we might have 4 teams officially in the playoffs.
