6. Write 800 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 800 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something.
London’s draft class last year struck me as one that had immense potential and looked set to continue the franchise's tradition of creating great users that go on to enjoy success at the ISFL level. Given that the class was by no means a large one, I think the Royal’s strike rate was genuinely exceptional and that has been evident in the ISFL draft this evening. Yes, I did have to hold this back to make sure there were no leaks.
LucidDreams:
If I had to pick one player from the last season that has really stood out to me, it would have to be Lucid Dreams. While I didn’t have the privilege of scouting Lucid for London, I did reach out to him shortly after the team had made contact to make sure everything was okay and that he knew where to go, what to do etc etc. Just from the questions he was asking alone, it became evident to me that this guy was gonna be a standout member of his class. He’s integrated incredibly well into the league, created a great podcast series that I have not only listened to every week but was also lucky enough to have been invited on. Lucid’s performances on the other end of the line have been sensational and we said at the start of the season that if we could reach 18 combined sacks between us then we’d done okay for London. We hit that goal. I’m really excited to see what this guy achieves at the next level and I’m almost certain we’ll see him as a GM at some point in the relatively near future. I really can’t speak highly enough about this guy. If he maintains his current trajectory, the sky is really the limit.
Boom:
For me, Boom was one of the steals of the DSFL draft. To pickup a user of this calibre at pick #35 represents great value. It became clear to us all fairly early on that money was never going to be an issue for this user, as his graphics have consistently been some of the best in the league and have led to their bank balance swelling at quite the pace. He’s also a very friendly person to have around the locker room and remains positive, even at the most negative of times. We really struck gold here. It’s also a massive bonus that his player has come up clutch for us on a few occasions throughout the season, with some incredibly important catches and TD’s. Again, this guy has a crazy high ceiling and could easily be picking up awards at the next level season after season and could very well retire holding many positional records, should he choose to remain on the end of the line.
EricNCSU:
Sam Squanch himself. For almost the entire season, this guy was our sole human linebacker and he held down the fort superbly. Racking up 97 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in a rookie season represents a solid showing. Additionally, Eric has handled himself well within the London locker room, always being polite and friendly with his teammates and enthusiastic about the team's progress. It’ll be no surprise at all to see this player pop up on awards ballots and pro bowl lists for seasons to come.
Kingtag1999:
Mr Will Smyth himself. Will is a great user who has shown a keen interest in the league from day one. Never scared to ask for guidance to ensure that his build is optimal and what will do the best for the team, he has been sure to maintain solid earning throughout the season to do just that. Even when the stats weren’t necessarily falling in his favour, he remained focused and doubled down to get the results he was looking for. I can only hope that the Ultimini win that he helped us achieve has given him a sense of fulfillment, as our D-Line simply wouldn’t have been the same without his presence. Filling the shoes of Blorgl was never going to be easy but this man is well on his way to carving out a bit of a London legacy of his own.
Moodles:
The pedigree of Moodles alone was enough to justify their drafting but to them live upto the expectations and even surpass them is even better. Keane Lover was a rock for us on the OL, setting pancake records for both the franchise and the league in their rookie season. I think the most sensational part of the season as a whole for me was seeing an offensive lineman win the offensive rookie of the year award. While Moodles isn’t necessarily the most active user in our locker room, they have been steadily earning silently in the background and getting the job done on the field. An exceptional pickup for London and a much adored member of the team.
All in all, this London class was absolutely exceptional and despite being rookies, they have all delivered in terms of earning, performing on the field and bringing home the Ultimini. I really couldn’t be prouder of them.
