In terms of Top 100 Prospects Armchair has found more balance with all but one team now rostering at least 1 top 100 prospect.
(8) and
(8) still sit a top the rankings both having gained 1 prospect a piece. The biggest jump since last year comes from
(5) gaining 3 new top 100 prospects, the new GM is making great strides with the top end of their farm system. While
(4) and
(3) both moved down in the standings having lost 2 top 100 prospects.

The greatest news for Armchair comes out of the Top 30 prospect lists. The average number of prospects per team is now 28.5 (!) which is pretty close to complete parity of 30 per 30. However, once you dig into the numbers there are still some teams with more quantity than others.
(55) still leads the league even though it's lost 5 prospects since last year. The new prospect signing program for unowned teams has yielded great results with
(28)
(29)
(27) now all having sold farm systems ranking right in the middle of the pack. The biggest jump in the rankings going into the season comes from
(52) having gained an impressive 11 prospects since last season.

The biggest gainer is
picking up 5 since the 2022 trade deadline, while the biggest drop is
with -6. For the most part teams have picked up or lost one here and there, which is typical with graduations and off season trades. The average team has 3 prospects, which is good, and every team has at least 1. Also, if ya'll could stop trading Top 100 specs to
that would be awesome lol.

I have something new for Armchair this season, the formula is a work in progress and so I'd love to hear suggestions but each team is awarded 2 points for a top 30 prospect and 5 points for a top 100 prospect, but no points for duplicate players. This looks like the best way to rank and quantify the depth and quality of a system. As a point of reference the average farm should score a 70 based upon this formula. So this should give GM's a good idea of how their farms relate to the rest of the league and by how much.

I get like that too Eric. My goal every offseason is to do at least 1 trade with every gm. Why not? Its fun
Yesterday

Jwalkerjr88
:
Some guys just dont trade for whatever reason. But the guys who dont arent championship contenders.
Yesterday

Daddy
:
They trade, about as often as real teams do. For people that love year round trading, being in one league, one sport, its going to be difficult.
Yesterday

Jwalkerjr88
:
Not everyone trades. But agreed, for one sport folk like myself. It requires patience

NFL LIVE is the most difficult league for me and it's not even close
Yesterday

:
Cant just trade because its fun. There needs to be a purpose behind trading. Get guys you believe in or need to keep improving.
Yesterday

NFL LIVE has the toughest GMs & football is the toughest fantasy sport for DYNASTY. Redraft will always be King of football.
Yesterday

Baseball, hockey, basketball guys struggle with NFL LIVE because its just so damn fast (football careers, roster turnover etc.)

Limited assets

:
We all have the same assets
Today

Alpha5
:
If a team has 2 QB1s another team has none. If a team in baseball has 2 1B it doesn't leave a team without one.
Today

Alpha5
:
That's what I mean by limited assets
Today
at 09:09:53 AM
Brent
:
And that's why I haven't traded Carr yet. Someone doesn't have a QB or thinks they'll get one in FA/draft and might be left wanting.
Today
at 09:12:28 AM
Daddy
:
@Alpha if a team in MLB LIVE has two starting 1Bs then there is also a team without one.
Today

@jwalker I make like 2-3 trades a year for each of my baseball teams, maybe. I'll tell you part of the reason I don't trade. Every trade discussion starts out with the other team wanting my top prospect regardless of what I am trading for. I am not trading Jackson Holliday for your backup catcher who is going to play 20 games this year.
Today
at 10:56:16 AM

Nah cause position eligibility. 1B/OF, 1B,3B etc

CB/S >> DE/LB >> Taysom Hill QB/TE

:
Football is just harder. You can build a team and 3 years later its irrelevant due to injury, retirement, roster turnover.

:
@ldsjayhawk I get the frustration but you're gonna have to get over that man haha
Today
at 12:29:52 PM

:
And maybe you should trade Jackson Holiday lolol
Today
at 12:32:00 PM
Brent
:
In an offsite league, I inquired about Mason Miller and the guy asked for Jackson Holliday.

Is it like a 4 team redraft league?
Today

:
Cris, there is a reason that you are a good owner, bc you can discern a value deal vs. a BS deal. Not all owners are that savvy. They will eventually leave...
Today
at 12:42:49 PM
Brent
:
Nope, 32-team contract league.
Today
at 12:49:09 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
I don't have Holiday. Just used him as an example since he was the #1 prospect
Today
at 12:56:05 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
@Alpha I do make trades. I am just not giving up the entire farm to land a guy I can get out of the FA pool
Today
at 12:59:21 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
Trading should be a win-win situation for both teams.
Today
at 01:00:32 PM
dbreer23
:
Agreed. I think the Devers deal in FGM is a good example of that. Devers gives SD some now (and future) pop, giving up substantial pieces to get him (Mayo, Keith, and one other).
Today
at 01:03:48 PM
Brent
:
I had Holliday in FGM before I stepped away.
Today
at 01:24:07 PM

:
I am glad I cut back on leagues, I was spread too thin.

:
@idsjayhawk i understand that. To be clear, i wasnt judging anyone. I just know in NFL Live, you cant just draft 1-7 rds every year and sign a few FAs and be the champion. It wont happen
Today
at 01:52:08 PM
Jwalkerjr88
:
Trading isnt easy. But neither is winning
Today

If you made a list of the most aggressive gms to have stepped foot in nfl live, you will notice the champions will be among them

You arent gonna win every trade and you HAVE to have a plan. Ive made some horrible trades. I have every year

Carolina has kyren williams right now cause i traded him for a 2nd and a 4th. Id rather have kyren today lol
Today
at 01:54:28 PM
Brent
:
Agreed. I have Amon Ra St. Brown and Aiyuk because I traded JJ. I couldn't have acquired a player like ASB where I was picking in the 1st so I down tiered at WR to make a trio of Chase, ASB and Aiyuk instead of JJ, Chase and fill in the blank.
Today
at 02:09:02 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
That is probably even more true in baseball since your drafts don't payoff for 5 years or so. And I will admit my conservatism may be the reason I only have one championship here at ProFSL

jwalkerjr88 is right

although my last draft class and fa class kinda lead me to a run so it can happen
Today
at 02:27:21 PM
Brent
:
Yeah, it does help to have a big draft class and available cap.
Today

I'm contemplating doing a complete tear down in NFL Live and rebuild. Honestly, I probably should have postered for it to be this season. I still might, but I would legit need to go into the draft with 3-4 top 10 picks/+ many others.
