I like that pk, in keeping with the theme of old heroes finally coming back into the limelight, chose players who have had success way in the past. You have Espeluznante, who was a S7 MLTP All-Star, Maradona who won a Nuper back in S12, and sonder who had some successful mLTP seasons back when he was BigMeaty around three years ago. Needless to say, this team looks interesting.
I like the Espeluznante pick to start off. I think Espel was like the one bright spot on Poost Office last season, managing to cobble together an acceptable season even with a rotating defense, and his last two weeks were essential for getting Poost into the playoffs, so I feel like he can lead an offense with a decent amount of success. pk is just a basic support offender, but honestly if pk can just help Espel get out, then it should be fine. I do think that this offense is a little on the weaker side though, just by looking at the rest of the league. It's more on pk, because if pk can play like he did in S18, when he got the 88 ONISH, then I think this offense can flourish.
I have no idea what to think of this defense. Maradona's last NLTP minutes came in S17, when he played for the PiCurious A-Team and got the 100 DNISH while also having a -53 cap differential. At least he got the 100 DNISH in a stronger season, so that's cause for optimism. sonder hasn't played at all since mLTP S6, which was actually NLTP S3, which was like three years ago, so what the hell. I think he would've been a strong B-Team starter, like first round snake pick or something, but I don't think he's ready enough to play at the A-Team level yet.
At least pk thought ahead and got im a goat with his 5th ball, and that's a nice pick in case Maradona or sonder don't work out (leaning more towards sonder there).
NLTP has seen some success with "throwback" teams, like S18 Dark Side of the Ball, but at the same time they could fail miserably, like S18 Trailer Park Balls, so I have no idea how this is going to shake out. I like the offense, the defense isn't my favorite, but I'm just going to make up a number to justify this whole thing.
GRADE : 6.0 / 10
