FOF Roster Strength Question

samifan24 · 12-02-2004, 08:12 PM

Why is it that my team consistently has a stronger "reserves" score than "starters" score at almost every position on FOF's roster strengths screen? For example,

my FBs: 73VG (starters)/95EX (reserves)
my WRs: 48 G / 79 VG
my Ts: 52 G / 100 EX

What gives? Do these numbers just correspond to which players are currently in the starting slot? According to my scout, I've got my best players starting at each of these positions, so I don't understand why the game seems to think otherwise.

edit: WR reserves were supposed to be 79, not 49

I think it is a relative comparsion of your starters to the average starters. So, if you had the best QB in the league as your starter your QB (starters) would be 100. The reserves is the average rating of your reserves in comparision to the league.

So, in the above example your starters are only average compared to the rest of the league at WR or at T (50 being the average in this comparision) but you have very good depth particularly at Tackle where you have the best depth in the league.

That is correct. In addition, it fluctuates depending on who you have in the depth chart at the time as a starter. I also believe anyone on injured reserve is not counted in the ratings.
