Mike Rogers Power Ranking Season 4 Day 0
ALPHA
1.
Woodridge LumberjacksThe reigning Champions are still the strongest team overall in the WEPL.
WuJax ability to attack any facet of the game makes them an even stronger favourite in a ever evolving Season 4.
And they have a nice schedule this season, facing the rest of my top 4 teams inside the first 5 games.
Interleague Game : Dfools All Stars
2.
Berlin BlitzkriegI like what Berlin are capable of on Defense, and they have the ability to grind out a win. I am not sure if they have the quick strike capability of some of their top tier rivals in Alpha, but that defense, and consistent Offense might just be enough.
A very freindly schedule this season could allow them the ability to experimen a little further than some other teams.
Interleague Game : Reykjavík Aggies
3.
Valhalla VikingsLook for Vikings to surprise this season.
With that awesome passing Offense Vikings could easily run away with the league, but on balance, and taking into account the changes in Season 4 already, I think it is just as possible that Vikings slip a little from their position of strength.
Their ability to put up quick points was what made me keep them in the elite bracket, but they dont look as strong on defense as the top 2. But if they get that right they have a very good schedule, with Game 15 being against WuJax.
Interleague Game : Multiple Scoregasms
4.
Fightin' Texas AggiesI dont think anyone will be able to run the middle on Tank Davis this season consistently, and that means a lot of shoot out for the fans at Kyyle Field.
I think FTA have the fire power to win most of those shoot outs, and I think that the FTA Warriors game will be one of the best of the season as a spectacle.
If they could sure up their defense against the elite teams, it could be their season to lose.
A very tough start to the season against WuJax is rewarded with a very nicely balanced schedule that ends with the two conference relegation fodder candidates, Assassins and...
Interleague Game : Sandford
5.
Wembley WarriorsSometimes you just get a feeling.
Warriors were the best team in season 1 and then slumped for a few seasons, but all the signs indicate that they are going to be back with avengance in season 4.
The new changes suit their offense, and they have again added well in the offseason.
Still have the potential to makes either a 1-4 seed or miss the play offs entirely.
A balanced schedule, which is only notable for the chance to get WuJax early in the season and ...
Interleague Game : Paris Musketeers
6.
Lake Charles Who DatsWho dats have strengthend their squad and have had several early boosts to key positions. Jury is out on that.
But they have the passing game to do well this season, and should be competitive.
However the are an at risk team for me and have the potential to fall a long way.
This 5th spot is factoring in a lot of past performances.
Interleague Game : Rohrheim Stampede
7.
AWCCould have been much higher up, as they have one of the best Pass protection lines in the league, and the QB and recievers to take advantage.
But that dramatic loss of form in the last half of season 3 is a worry.
Like so many teams in Alpha, they have the potential to beat anyone on their day, but also the potential to lose to anyone.
Their schedule is not the easiest in the Conference with 4 of their last 5 games againt very strong opposition.
Interleague Game : Frankfurt Heat
8.
London MonarchsAlways tough to judge your own team, but a solid run game and run defense over the last 3 seasons was what Monarchs were all about. The changes to the game have rendered that advantage useless and this looks to be Monarchs toughest season.
Should have enough to make a Play Off spot, and if things click into place still have the ability to upset a lot of the big names.
Normally a few levels behind most teams starters, the XP slow down is bringing Monarchs back into contention, and we hope to take full advantage

Interleague Game : Stockholm Meatballs
9.
E-City MercenariesMercs are similar to Monarchs in many ways, bigger squad, more rotation, lower levels but catching up fast.
So often their performances go under the radar, but they have been close in most every game they played over 3 seasons.
The team I expect to be least effected by the changes in game.
5 of their last 7 are very tough games, so I have them just missing out on the play offs, but its a Very close call.
Interleague Game : Rivals Main Board Pimps
10.
Toledo SwordsI checked 4 or 5 times, and still couldnt put a promoted team higher than 10th.
And I really like what Swords have in their squad as well.
They are Pro ready, but they did boost some key positions a little early before some further changes were announced.
Need a strong start to the season to have a shot at the play offs.
Interleague Game : Korb Destroyers
11.
Carthage Army of DarknessDefinitely have the starting squad to make a fight of most games, but they do lack for depth at this leavel.
some what of an unknown quantity, but will have to exceed expectations to be challenging for a Play Off spot.
I have ranked them a little higher than my gut instinct because you cannot underestimate someone who performs in the Play Offs like they did last season.
And they have a nice Schedule with 5 of the last 8 winnable.
Interleague Game : Oxford Eagles
12.
Stuttgart NighthawksProbably the best pair of DEs in Alpha, and a decnt pass defense at times. Stuttgart migh have what it takes in season 4 to break out of the bottom tier.
Offensively they have troubles, but they have been working hard to address them, and I dont see them in any danger this season at all.
The early boost strategy might be enough to see them through some close games early on. But they need it to as their last half schedule is horrific.
Interleague Game : Valencia Billy Goats
13.
Nice DauphinsUnexplainable bad at time. Dauphins have a good squad, but seem to do something every season to throw games. Thats the only possible explaination.
They make moves between farm teams that have no effect on the results, and the all there coniving to gain XP is now redundant as the XP gain is slowing down and everyone has caught them up.
So that skeleton crew of 100 play studs is now the most underachieving team in the Conference.
Maybe there was some great masterplan behind it all?
Interleague Game : Rotterdam Roughnecks
14.
Lyon SharksSeem to have come through the shift in ownership well enough.
Still not the strongest squad, but should have enough to avoid trouble this season.
Their lack of depth is going to cause some problems, and I cant see them going more than 4 wins this season.
Interleague Game : Oslo Berserkers
15.
Blackpool Mountain LionsBlackpool have been the whipping boys for a few seasons, but always do just enough to win those basement battles.
This is their toughest season without question.
Still have a good squad, and decent Chemistry, but they are not strong enough for this most challenging season in Alpha.
Interleague Game : MA Trolls
16.
European AssassinsLegalbama knows that the chances of the Assassins winning a single game are extremely low this season.
the majority of the squad start the season below Level 20, and no matter what the builds, they are not good enough.
Heres hoping Assassins enjoy as much of Season 4 as they can.
Interleague Game : Bari Barracudas
