How's your CFM going? M17 edition

[BleedGreen710]

This is one of my favorite threads each year. I'm going to be starting my franchise this afternoon and didn't see anyone make the thread yet so here it is. Can't wait to hear about everyone's franchises!

Love the detail some of you guys put into this. Can't wait to hear all the stories.

Re: How's your CFM going? M17 edition

Thinking about participating in this thread this year, do only "normal" franchises count? I usually do 3-5 real franchises trying to keep things realistic but I also like to do franchises like doing a team comprised entirely of rookies, not always the best rookies though as I still have a reason to draft.

Re: How's your CFM going? M17 edition

just started up my Eagles franchise!

-created a new coach
-traded away bradford for a 7th round pick (I want to start Wentz)
-with more cap space without bradford i signed ben grubbs FA G to start
- cut WR rueben randle among others
- added some guys to my practice squad including 70 OVR rookie who was poached by the Chargers immediately (woops)
- focused my weekly training during preseason on LBs/DBs and WRs/QB. i feel my teams biggest weakness is CBs and WRs
- my 3 focus players are Wentz, Jordan Mathews, and Jordan Hicks
- simmed preseason games
- set my season goal to 8 wins which i think is reasonable
- went with cody parkey over caleb sturgis for kicker

first game of season vs Browns i cant lose this one

go eagles

Started with my Broncos. 2-3 so far, which is about what I expect us to do through 5 games this year I'd say realistically. Went right away with Lynch. No was Sanchez get's anywhere near the starting QB for me. Annoying that Von isn't signed yet in the most recent roster, but that's ok cause you can edit contracts now so I did that (tho the game still wants me to negotiate and resign him, even tho I set his real life contract via edit more.)

I think I'll let Emmanuel Sanders walk. Doesn't make sense to have two high caliber wr's with Vons contract. I'll focus on WR, TE, OL in the draft mostly.

Started my yearly fantasy draft cfm with my dad and had the 26 pick and took Gronk, Wentz, AP, Waddle Keanu Neal, Cox, Michael Bennet, Robert Mathis, Trevathen, and most importantly......Braxton Miller. (Gonna make him my backup qb, Tavon Austin player)

Gronk was available with the 26th pick? thats absolutely absurd. looks like the fantasy draft AI is still a dumpster fire

Why? There are way more important positions than TE.

Started my Eagles franchise up. Not many changes. Hoping to find a good slider set before I really sink in.

I like to play preseason for position battles. After game one neither Wentz or Bradford jumped ahead in the QB race.

Rowe looked terrible against the number 1 receiver. May look for a trade for a corner.

May look to see if I can upgrade my offensive line with the available free agents.

Only one game in and may hold off until full retail releases to continue and hopefully find a slider set.

thats true but he's one of only 4-5 99 OVR Players. he's an elite talent. one of the best players in the NFL. what 25 players are you picking over him?

Re: How's your CFM going? M17 edition

In madden? A secondary. Top Ends. A QB. A fast RB. Like last year in my online CFM I made Fleener look like a better Gronk

I was watching someone do a fantasy draft and had the #10 pick, Watt and Gronk were still there. Then they were literally in the 6th round, or maybe even beyond, and 97 ovr Marshal Yanda was still on the board. The only clear AI pick that I remember seeing was the raiders taking Big Ben at #5

Re: How's your CFM going? M17 edition

Hoping to start my Redskins CFM Wednesday.
Just a few more games to make sure I'm happy with settings.

Once I start I go with whatever happens, otherwise I'll fall back into the slider tweaking hell.

I'm probably not doing a full on 32 team control but games I want to watch (Playoff runs, playoffs etc..) I'll create a use for one of the teams then watch it.

Haven't made mind up on that yet.

Really excited to get going.
