Remember... 53 players on your roster!

helimachoptor

Remember lads, you need 53 players on your roster when i advance (around 10pm tomorrow)
If you are over this number, the CPU may cut a star player and if that happens they are fair game.

Paully D

Can you be under, Heli? Say 51 or 52 players. I have that many on my roster now, none of the free agents are appealing or could add anything to my roster and I'm happy enough.

We're looking to try to get everyone to 53, the aim is so no has blown shed loads of cash on a FA/ trade *ahem Colts *ahem :pac: and ends up just having to have 45 players on the roster

What happens teams who dont have 53 players.

helimachoptor

Paddlin

adrian522

More than 53 players? That's a paddlin. Less than 53 ? Thats a paddlin. Exactly 53 players? You bet ya that's a paddlin..

helimachoptor

Eyeballin my paddle you betts believe that's a paddlin

giffney1991

I won't have 53....I'll take a paddlin

Rock Lesnar

That sounds like alot of Paddling

Raoul

Seriously though, we have to do something about players that don't have 53 players. There is a reason why we have always said you have to have 53. Its unrealistic not to and to use your cap space to sign players on the FA with big contracts while you can't fill your roster. I myself was only had 31 players at the end of last year and I had to be very frugal so that I will make the 53.

helimachoptor

Im off today so will be taking a look at this today/this evening, discussions will then be held on punishments :eek:

As Raoul said, under no circumstances would a NFL team not have 53 players on a roster

Pudsy33

Cant we just make them pick up extra players this week to make 53?

Raoul

Well yes, that is what they were meant to do. But some people blew their cap space on FAs that they really couldn't afford. It was discussed at the start of last season, again during the middle of the season ( I was one person that didn't have the 53 and had to rectify it) and then again before the start of this season.

Pudsy33

Oh right I see what you mean, people spent what little money they had on people they couldn't afford. Never considered that!

adrian522

I think as long as people have 53 when they are playing their week 1 game we should be ok. If they need to cut a high earner in order to bring in a few scrubs then that's what they will need to do.

Yep, I was worried about having to cut Juilius Peppers. But I think I have circumnavigated that problem.

Rock Lesnar

Well as Heli knows, i could've been struggling to get to 53, but I didnt spend much in FA, Nicks was my biggest signing, the rest were mid 70's rated players whose ratings has increased quickly, that left me with plenty of Money to sign Jackson and with 6 picks in the draft, i got to 53 easily with money to spare.

PADRAIC.M

I got to 53 barely... 200k left in cap room

giffney1991

Texans up 2 53...

Think this is the solution, really.

Bears had around 45 when I was on madden this morning

Not sure if they are human or CPU, I can't view the owners list at the minute

Bears are under the guidance Raoul and they have 53 according to the website.

Gary Ibbotson

Apologies to all, haven't been able to go on in the last few days due to studying, playing football (on the Dublin Dragons, anybody else play?) and other commitments so I do not have a clue if I have over or under 53

Pudsy33

Just log in when you get a chance and make sure you have 53, if you were under that is. If you were over, the cpu will have taken care of that and it may not be pretty.

Thanks Berty!!

Cheers Mike for trying to rat me out :pac:. I knew I hadn't enough players, signed a few there at lunch time. Had to really work to get to 53 though.

Played for Tullamore up until end of last season

I heard they folded, very unfortunate. Or have I heard wrong?

Correct. Folded

Raoul

So I think there are still some people that do not have 53 players on their roster? You really need to sort this out as the punishment for not having a full roster will be very severe and will be revealed in the coming hours.

Pudsy33

Who doesn't? You might aswell name names.

Knex*

Fairly sure I have anyway!

Pudsy33

I do too I think, dropped a player last night but replaced him instantly!

Raoul

No point naming names until punishments are being dished out. People should be aware of what is happening in their own camp.

Pudsy33

Is their anywhere you can check roster size?

helimachoptor

Cfm site, and click on team, it will tell you
