FCS Madden Franchise

[asucrutch23]

Just did a fantasy draft franchise on Madden 11 with the requirement that every player drafted to my team be from an FCS school. Thought I'd share the results. The team actually turned out better than I had expected, with an 88 overall rating.

Was there a $ cap or were you just taking best available at each position. Nothing at all against Fordham, but if I was playing a video game and building a team I'd take Joe Flacco over John Skelton as a backup. Romo has been known to get knocked around from time to time.

Took Romo over Flacco because he's better on the game, and when it was time to take a backup QB (knowing I'd have Armanti as my true backup), Skelton was the best available FCS QB. Of course I'd rather have Flacco but he was off the board. Did show some love for the Hens at TE.
