Tier 2 Task 7:
To be honest, my experience in the league has been even better than I thought. Coming in with this being my first sim league I expected to just spend an hour or two each week on here doing whatever is needed to update my player and then looking at stats after games. I didn't realize how healthy the community was behind the screen and how invested I would be in making my player as good as I could. All that in addition to how cool the fantasy aspect of the league is and how much time I can spend looking at stats for that and writing about players and teams, what isn't there to love.
In terms of specific people I have to shoutout the London management for drafting me as the new kid on the block who looked like he wasn't going to earn very much. Also shoutout to @Trempale for being my twin in the ISFL. We are both S32 new creates, Tight Ends and big TPE earners. Although he jumped in head first much more quickly than I did, ending up as the 3OA in the DSFL draft and is already a DSFL GM, we will always share these same beginnings even if we end up position swapping or playing in different leagues or whatever the case may be. Also shoutout to the rest of the London S32 draftees and the rest of the S31 Royals, whether or not we play together again S31 was a hell of a ride, thanks boys.
Regarding my player's start, I can't say I'm ecstatic with my personal statistical performance. 350 yards and only 1 TD was definitely below my expectations for the season, but I think a couple of factors play into that. I don't think I put enough emphasis on speed early on in my updates, only really focusing on it in the past couple of weeks and I was kind of buried on the target depth chart on my team as London had 2 1000 yard receivers and another decent receiver on top of that. Combine that with a middle of the pack team performance in terms of receiving yards and touchdowns, that didn't leave a whole lot for me.
Being drafted for the first time was great. Watching the draft live and then hearing my name called on the stream and then getting a ton of pings from the London discord was pretty fun, I can't wait to get drafted again in about a week's time.
Tier 3 Task 16:
The team that gets Deshawn Penne is going to get an offensive skill position max earner. I'm willing to swap if needed to WR, RB, or QB from TE if my team has the need for it so I'm a bit flexible in that regard as long as I'm getting the ball and moving it downfield for my team. My biggest motivation in the league is making my player better as much as I can, as fast as I can so my ISFL team is going to be getting a reliable offensive weapon. Outside of the sim I think I'm pretty fun in the LR and like to joke around and have a good time. Another big perk of having me on your team and in your LR has got to be the delicious penne GIFs that I will post all the time. Also if you have a channel in your discord like #london-broil then you will get a couple of delicious looking food pictures whenever I'm feeling fancy and actually cook something nice.
There are a couple of teams that should choose me in this draft because they have an immediate hole on their roster and I can fill it day 1. If your team just had a Tight End retire and you don't have any Tight Ends in the pipeline, I'm your guy!
Tier 3 Task 25:
Tight End seems like an ideal position for me in real life, I think if I had stuck with football I probably would have ended up being a Tight End. In addition to that, for the ISFL I wanted a position that was racking up those attractive offensive stats because as a NFL Fantasy Football fan, that is what draws me the most to football in general. I picked Tight End because as a sim league noobie I figured the other positions like QB, RB, and WR would be pretty competitive and full of veterans that knew what they were doing and would out perform me, I figured tight end would be a bit more low key. So if I had to pick a different position it would probably be a different offensive skill position, and I would probably have ended up on WR. Wide receivers are just more athletic tight ends that don't block as much, they are easily the closest to a receiving tight end so I think that would probably be a good fit given the natural overlap between the two positions. Great NFL tight ends end up playing a lot of snaps out wide anyways. So I would have to say if Deshawn Penne didn't create as a tight end, he would've been a wide receiver.
