7th Annual Cafe Team Rankings, WHIR!

[Bravos of Steel]

Hey guys,

We just finished up our draft for this upcoming year. I've posted our league draft results on here 6 years previously, and you've guessed a winner 3 out of the 6 years. So, here it is. I'm going to post the teams respective starters, to keep it simple. Don't need to know much in terms of the scoring system. All TD's are 6 points, and pretty standard scoring everywhere else. Give some of your best, in depth thoughts on who the probable winner is of this league. Who's the favorite? Who needs some help? If you help, leave a link, and I'll definitely respond to yours to the best of my ability. Thanks guys!

IMO, Team’s 5, 6, 7, and 9 are all playoff teams based purely on solid players at every position. Team 11 is my sleeper pick. Narrowing it down to the finals I see Team 7 and Team 5 squaring off for the Championship. When the dust clears Team 5 walks away with the trophy. All said and done this is a very completive league you have here. There really isn’t a team that stands out as a team in need of major help. Keep an eye on Team 11, he’s or she has a few players that if things break right…watch out.

Thank you for your in-depth analysis on my team very impressive.
I wish I had more time to spend on your league.

Teams I like are 4, 5, 7, 9, 10

All of these teams are balanced and have dependable talent combined with some high upside players.

I like team 10 to take the crown due to its clear advantage with deeper depth than the other teams.
