16. This task is exclusive to recreate/non-recreate rookies of the S31 class and later. The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season?

Watching on the big tv, Raskolnikov is waiting for his chance to get on the big field and prove himself to everyone else. While he isn't just sitting waiting for his name to be called, a big few weeks are coming up depending on how well the Minnesota Grey Ducks do. The draft is coming and Raskolnikov wants to increase his stock value. While not the most impressive rookie numbers for an offensive threat in the DSFL, Raskolnikov has done a pretty decent job considering the position on the totem pole in the stacked Minnesota Offense. Two of the top 6 receiving yards in the league go to the two WRs of Minnesota of Malone and Sharpei Jr. But Raskolnikov finished with an okay stat line himself as he played all 14 games, caught 51 passes for 775 yards and 6 touchdowns. And was top 10 with his other 2 receivers in average yards per catch. The Grey Ducks have flown by the season, only losing one game, and are looking to repeat their title win. This time Raskolnikov is hoping to be a part, and help secure his first championship. “I feel like if I have that on my background the draft stock will definitely shoot up a little, especially if I ball out”.
18. Written option - which teammate of yours is the ultimate team player and why? How does this person exhibit selflessness and put the team first? Are they a great locker room presence who encourages others? Do they play an important but unappreciated role on the team which doesn't receive much recognition for awards? Graphic Option: Create a graphic of your player with your teammate who exhibits a team-friendly attitude.

For me this question is easy. Kazimir Oles Jr is a stud all around. He can play like a god-tier QB, and off the field, he is the nicest person around. He is the ultimate team player. He is very active and sociable in the locker room, always talking and chatting it up, trying to pump us up to get better or just lighten up the mood. As a QB he gets the spotlight a lot but he is grounded and allows us to get the stage and tries to move the spotlights on us. Kazimir Oles Jr has done a great job at pushing the rookies to keep up with the training and work as hard as they can to get better. Raskolnikov has had someone on one session for hours after practice to get the extra reps, and each time Kazimir Oles Jr has been down with it. For a player of his stature, he has been great all around, and a fantastic person to talk to. He is a great player and even better person, if every team had 5 of these types of players, the league would be unstoppable. Kazimir Oles Jr is the guy I would love to play with each week.
27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?
In speaking of ISFL specifically, there are 2 that stand out as in need of a rebranding. First being New Orleans Second Line, there is nothing wrong with the history and the name per se. But the colors definitely stand out for me, not in the good way. Plus the second line name, well… It feels like the team is always second for everything. I remember when they first came to be, a long time ago, and even back then no one was really happy about the team's decision to brand as such. The second team I would think to rebrand is the Chicago Butchers, this team brand feels very left field. Sticks out and is just spooky. No scary stuff for me. Two of the best in my opinion are the classic Colorado Yeti, the color scheme and the name are fantastic. The second one being the Orange County Otters, which are cute and the branding is crisp. There are reasons that these 2 OG teams haven't had much to change. Looking at DSFL, the two I think would need a rebrands are Buccaneers and Birddogs, I am not a big fan of their color scheme and their logos are a bit of a mess.
31. The World Football Association was established last season and is currently playing out for the first time. What do you think about the WFC as a whole and how it has been shaping out. Do you think it will end up a success?
I can’t say for sure it will become a huge success, as I am a horrible judge of character (just look up at the past answer about rebranding…). But I do think it is a great idea and gives another outlet for people to watch their players play and have fun in. The idea that one now can represent either their own country or their players is a fun way to really have a tournament outside of one's ISFL or DSFL team. SHL does the same thing with IIHF and WJC, and while not many really care about it, there are others that watch and try to hype it up. It is also nice to see your player represent a country. I think it should be a blast moving forward, and it will be great to see how it develops. For instance, will we see a WJC for ISFL? Maybe for just players that are playing in the DSFL? The only concern I have seen is the placement of players and nations. As geographically it doesn't really tie in with some nations. THis is a breath of fresh air, and I am not going to complain in the slightest, and I am going to root for it.
