Okay, so it's not preseason, but as I'm writing this, Eastern Conference still hasn't played any meaningful games (lolwest).
Best of the Best
1. Thunder Bay Wolverines - 1123.86 (55) [72/75]
2. Raging Alcoholics - 1142.61 (55) [71/75]
3. Algoma Arena Rockers - 1102.52 (54) [72/75]
100 chem to start the season coming off an 11-5 season (30-20 including ranked scrims and second round in playoffs). As expected, this team is one of the toughest in the league. Last season they had a rough finish to the regular season, and as teams catch up with them it might get rough. Luckily the meat of their schedule is in the first half, and they should fare well.
4. Manitoba Matadors - 1097.18 (55) [72/74]
Playoff contendors:
5. The Drunekn Addicts of Omerta - 1104.09 (55) [72/75]
6. Thunder Bay Sabertooths - 1090.94 (55) [70/74]
7. Siberian Express - 1083.96 (52) [70/74]
8. Puvirnituq Musketeers - 1076.74 (55) [71/74]
9. The Bastard Sons of Doug Flutie - 1069.91 (50) [70/74]
Maybe next season
10. Northeast Choppin Broccoli - 1052.84 (55) [68/74]
Having 100 chem to start should be in their favor early, but with an undeveloped roster, it might be a rough start. By seasons end they might give some people a run for their money, but their playoff hopes will come down to tiebreakers, and with such low player value, I don't think they'll pull it off this season.
11. Second Government Apocalypse - 1052.47 (46) [70/74]
Perfect Chem coming off a 16-0 season in a competitive league, and a 3rd round playoff loss, this team looks to be compeititive. Their player value looks low compared to the other players in playoff contention, and with only 46 on roster stamina will surely be an issue at FB, OT, DT, and DE. Most players are in or near plateau, several will be able to boost to level 72 by seasons end, so watch for a late surge by this team. I think it will be too little too late, but if they beef the roster, they could come back next season.
12. Nagasaki Bombers - 997.87 (55) [65/74]
Perfect 100 chemistry and an 11-5 record and a 1pt loss in first round of playoffs of a competitive league means this team could put it together and be competitive. Team is full, and consistent, but only a level 65 team. This is a team preparing for the future. Player Value looks low to me. Mostly owner's players, bobbycox4pres, and I've never heard of him. If he's a good builder, or a good gameplanner, he could be a playoff contender next season.
13. Winnipeg Thrashers - 1040.14 (51) [68/74]
97-100-100 chem means they return most of last seasons roster, a team that went 11-5 and a first round loss. Several wins were by 255+. Most of the team is inactive, and they only have 3 WRs. Most players are around 400 days old and level 65-70, so there's hope for the team in the future, but to be competitive they're gonna have to spend some time gameplanning, and setting up a functioning AI. They could win some games, and turn some heads, but no chance at playoffs this season. Next season they'll be middle of the pack.

14. Bristol Bullets - 992.75 (48) [67/74]
9-7 season in AAA, and a first round loss doesn't seem very impressive. Carrying 100 chem tells me they didn't make moves int he offseason. Low levels, and incomplete roster, this will be a tough debut in CPL. Will be fighitng off a demotion.
15. Fayetteville Funny Farm - 1001.52 (47) [69/74]
Small roster has only 1 human WR, which means they'll rely on the running game, but only 1 center, and 3 guards, his team will have a hard time scoring this season. Some players in deep decline, several in plateau below level 72. I don't see much hope in this team returning next season.
16. Dallas Knights - 1037.23 (41) [68/74]
With only 38 human players on roster and an inactive GM with multiple players, I don't think this team has a fighting chance. Definitely demoting, likely will go winless.
Halfway done after about half an hour of typing, but my games waiting for me to watch, so I'll finish this in a bit
