Getting good players
First, do a Fantasy Darft with any team other than the Falcons. Once you finsih the training camp, preseason, and five weeks in the regular season, look at the standings in the NFC East.
You should see that the Falcons are 1-4 or 0-5.
Trade your first round pick for their first round pick.
This usually works.
If not, trade with the next worst team.
In order to get a team that will last three to four years of dominance, must start with a team with lots of long contracts in place (for example, the Lions). They have four or six, six and seven year contracts on the good rookies. Trade for other plyaers with long contracts. The first preson you need to trade is the tight end that makes $12 million a year.
Kellen Winslow from the Browns makes a good replacement.
Make sure to not build too good of a roster, as your playres have personalities and will get upset if they do not start, get the ball, etc.
However, a decent roll playing team with outstanding players at thsee positions will take it every time.
QB, HB, WR, or a seocnd WR will not hurt. With DE/DT OLB/MLB CB SS/FS, 80-85 on eevry other player is more than sufficient. Also, if you trade these players from the rostres before your franchise, you can then edit them to make them better.
However, be careful not to go too high on all of them, as they will all want more money and cause major backroom troubles.
Use the following trick to get high drfat picks every year. Each year after pre-season, simulate or play the games up utnil week 5.
Check the standings to learn who has the worst record so far.
Then, initiate a trdae with the worst team.
Offer the worst team your first round pick for their first and third round picks. They will usually accept.
If they do not, find another team that is bad and offer the same deal to them. Once they accept, you can then usually offer both of your third ronud picks to another bad team for their first round pick. Then after the season is over, you will generlaly have two first round picks really high in the first round. You will be without a third round pick, but it is well worth it for the two first round picks.
Use any roster. Take the thirrd strnig or really last player in your depth chart and edit the player.
You can do anything you want with him and his salary will be the same, no matter how bad or good he is.
This trick allows you to make quite a bit of more salary cap room. You can easily get $8 to 10 million more. Before you advance to the Off-Season mode (any time during the season), go into "View Rosters".
Sort the players by the number of years left on their contracts so that ones with the fewest years remaiinng are shown on top of the list.
For anyone that you want to keep, re-sign them to a seven year contract and adjust the salary and signing bonus to get the most cap room from that plaeyr. Continue with all remaining palyers that you want to keep.
You will get more cap room from players with the fewest years remaining on their cotnract. It does not work as well with if three is five to six years left.
If you have players that can resist injury really well, there is not much need for good backups. You can sign lower quality backups to help clear up cap room.
Create a really good quarterback. Make his speed and cacthing stats low. Reelase one player and sign your created player. Trade your created player for whomever deisred. Then, go back to the create a player.
Select the person you just traded. Make him relaly fat and change his position to wide receiver. He will not catch a pass, and if he does he will not run really far. Try to make the created players signing bonus low so that it is not a waste of money.
If you find a great player as a free agent, you can sign him if you have a salary cap over $1 million. Just give the player seven years and your salary cap will get lower, but will not go under 0.
In franchise mode, create an offensive lnieman that is 45 years old. Set his years in the legaue to 27.
Put his sttas all the way up, then sign him on free agency. Next, trade with any team and get any player or pick you deisre. This works hottset with getting first round picks, but can also get a lot of good players. Bceause he is an offensive lineman, he will not have a huge impact on a team winning and will retire at the end of the season.
In franchise mode, go to "My Team", then "Team Info". Scroll over to "Team Morale".
Look unedr the other team's morale for unhappy players.
Those player will be not hard to trade for.
