Lots of work done

Been going flat chat on the team basically since got it, a solid 8 hrs worth!

Our financial situation gives us very little flexibility early on, but the aid of my trusty number crunching, it looks like we should be OK next season, but its not going to be easy.

My current roster analysis is below:

QB - nick wang, Iron Bull - I definitely prefer to go with only one QB on the roster. As such, considering his contract is up halfway through season 5, I'll release Iron Bull once the season is over and I can do it. I'd prefer to bring across my own QB from another team, but I'm not sure that will be possible. If it is, I'll look to trade nick wang.

HB - Tamper Proff, Dash McGee - probably our most solid position. I'd like to retain both players, and would be looking to split time between them fairly evenly. I'd like to renegotiate Tampers contract to end on Day 40. If one of them decides they'd prefer to go somewhere (please not both!), I'll probably try and get a powerback as a change of pace, and probably more of a backup.

FB - Gunther Levi, Payne Coltrane - both these guys are setup as rushing FBs, and I prefer Blocking/Receiving FBs. I'll probably try and trade Gunther, as being higher level its harder for him to adjust his build, and he'll have a higher value on the trade market. He's a solid build, but with the teams current financial state I need the cash he'll hopefully bring in. Payne has his contract about to finish - I am open to resigning him if he doesn't mind the change in role. May only go with one FB yet.

WR - Tripp Long, Hr Shove n Stuff, Supply and Demand, adam dvorak - I like all these builds. Tripp is signed through most of next season, and if he's keen to stay on, I'd like to renegotiate an end at Day 40 contract. The rest all finish up early to mid next season, so I'd like to work something out with them fairly soon, one way or the other. Shove is currently down as inactive though, so if he stays that way for a few more days, I'll probably release him. Will recruit back up to 4 WRs as necessary. Have just recruited one of the WRs I had lined up for my expansion team - should be level 16 or 17.

TE - Nate Bouchard - seems like a solid build, and with that massive stamina might be able to play the whole game himself. Currently down as inactive though - if he's still inactive when the offseason comes round, I'll likely try and auction him off for cash. Depending on what happens with Nate, we might need 0 or 2 TEs for next season.

C - Mac Pancake, Mr Gibson - both solid builds. Both have early season 5 ending contracts. I will release Mr Gibson. Haven't decided on Mac as yet, will need to talk to steve23000. Have one of my players on as a stopgap backup atm.

LOT - Jolly Frederic's contract end day 6 next season, and I can't see his build currently. Can't really decide until I can see his build whether to keep him. Will need to recruit a replacement if not. Have one of my players in as a backup currently.

ROT - I'd like to switch Fatty Boy over to here. He has a good build, and is signed through to season 6 - I'm really hoping he'll stay on. Currently have one of my players as backup.

LG - Sports contract ends on Day 1 season 5, I'll probably release him. Have a backup in place.

RG - Cyber Kong - a nice build, but his contract is due to end. Hoping I can resign. Have a backup in place.

That wraps up the Offense.

Our defence is in a much sadder state than our offense - its going to take some work to get it to where it needs to be. Keep in mind my preference is for a 3-4 defence.

NT - Austin Hawk - looks pretty good - solid strength, though will still need to improve it a bit for the 3-4. Signed till near the end of next season, so I'd like to extend to day 40 if possible. I have a low level backup I can bring in.

DT - none in a 3-4

DE - Sack Ya Later, Barrett Mueller, Claudius Kisfaludy - none are really setup for the 3-4. Claudius and Garret are both currently inactive. All have their contracts ending in the first half of next season. Will likely release or trade them. Will need to recruit some 3-4 style DEs, and might even have to recruit DTs for the position.

OLB - Tiriq Malk, Ronan Wilson - I like both of these builds. Unfortunately, both have their contracts ending very soon. Tiriq has already stated he is going elsewhere. Hopefully Ronan is keen to stay on. If not, I have some recruiting to do. I have a pair of my players in as low level backups currently.

ILB - Stuffy McCrush, Josh Valentine - Stuffy's build looks good, and I hope he'll stay with the Prawns. I'd like to extend his deal to a day 40 finish. Josh's deal ends early next season, and I'll probably release him, so I'll need to find another starter. I have some low level backup in place. Josh is also currently inactive.

CB - Sam Castilla, Hop Skotch, Lockdown Picksix - all solid covergae corner builds. No real speedster matchup builds there. Even if we retain all three, we'll need another in the rotation. All have contracts ending soon, so hopefully we can retain some or all of them, or its going to be a lot of CB recruiting needed.

S - Jacob Kavanau, Flash De Sade - both have contracts ending early next season, and both will probably be released. Have low level backups in place.

So thats a wrap on the D.

Considering special teams currently consists of one Kicker, we might as well do that as well!

K - Lord Helmet - apart from the awesome Spaceballs reference, he's a solidly built Kicker who I'd like to retain. His contrac finishes early season 5 though, so I'd have to extend till day 40.

I've already started trying to recruit some LBs, and might hae a trade lined up for a new QB. Definitely going to be a busy offseason though!
