Run stick.

I can't even play these because I can't load solos that are @dolphins.

It's actually the opposite of ironic (the Green Bay/cheese thing.)     A lot of people have trouble with this. Also, the rest of your post was terrible too.

I mean, an 88 overall team is going to look like your team, zero difference makers.  So yes, it's going to lose to a well constructed min/maxed team in the hands of a decent player.

Your theory is flat out wrong,  there's really no other way to say it.   If you had trouble kicking it's because of lag and if your receivers are dropping balls it's because they aren't good (we know this because they aren't) or they aren't open .

Honestly, looking at the two rosters you have in this thread, you have absolutely zero players on offense that anybody would have to worry about.  Ditto for your linebackers, and your secondary.  Macdougal is good at SS.     You are going about building a roster all wrong.   There might be something to said for having that strong (for salary cap) offensive line if you're gonna spam dive and stretch all game.    Look through the updated 950 cap lineup thread.  Do you see any rosters that look like yours?   Honestly, if I went up against your team, I'd spam cover 0 blitzes and none of your receivers would get open.  Why do you have 2 middle linebackers and 2 defensive tackles?  do you run a 4-4? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm trying to save you time and frustration.

I have an 85 too   https://www.muthead.com/18/team-builder/939404 Probably won't stick with Vick for long, I got him for 120k during the market crash and figured I'd try him out for a bit.     I'd rather have a few studs surrounded by competent bodies  than a bunch of slightly above average guys. Every time I've lost I've been out executed, or it was a close game where the breaks didn't go my way down the stretch,never has the quality of somebody's team even entered my mind.     Chasing overall, instead of a roster that does the things you need it to do, seems like a good way to lose games.  Just my opinion. The rosters employed by the tournament guys seems to back my opinion up, fwiw.

What does overall matter in salary cap?

I've been getting games quickly on weekend afternoons, and early evening on weekdays.   Northeastern US

For your backups and guys who don't see the field, why don't you just get 10 cap guys so you can use extra cap on better Giants players?
