pulpo MLTP power rankings
I havent played or really seen anyone play in about a year so these are assuredly wrong.
Go Mac Go Pats Go Bucs
1.) Holdin Gate Warriors (GOOBR, ccga4, Megatron, Pro Boat)
Who is playing what position here? Does it matter? No.. GOOBR is the best player in the league this season and it’s really not that close tbh.. Assuming it’s GOOBR and cc on O it’s easily the best offense. Megan’s probably better on D anyway and should be a solid above average defender to help lock down the D. Pro Boat I’m pretty sure was awful the last time I saw him play, but then again I haven’t played in like a year so who knows. He's got a whole season to figure it out since this team is a lock for the playoffs
2.) Willy Wonka (thenewguy, grumpy, Messi, 777z)
Probably the most well rounded team. Everyone is pretty good except for grumpy who is elite. Would consider maybe running Messi and 777z on O and having TNG/Grump lock down the best defense in recent memory. TNG is probably only slightly worse on offense but I think Messi is capable of leading an attack this season.
3.) Mumble Cappers (Wayne, gg, dodsfall, kool aid)
Probably the best 3-headed monster in the league this season. Lot of good level headed personalities. Not sure about Kool aid and don’t think 4th balls really come into play too much until the playoffs. If dods is playing d with wayne, this defense is immediately top 2 (depending on what happens with Willy Wonka’s rotation). Combined with one of the most elite MLTP athletes of our generation leading the offense, could see them competing for a Super
4.) Miami Ballphins (Syniikal, Elsa, Ballerina, Xile)
Syn’s teams are always dependant on whether he actually wants to win or not. Rest of the team is strong enough to win a super but he needs to come through and lead the squadron. Ballerina is probably a top 5 offender this season and can easily carry the offence as long as the flag stays in.
5.) Ghostboosters (Doris, ez, NEB, Taurus)
Pretty sure this is the most active team in MLTP which will probably lead to solid regular season success. I think we’ve reached the point in the power rankings where I feel these teams likely won’t be in the running for a Super. The roster itself is solid. Doris is a top 3 player this season and NEB/ez are great pieces to round out the team. The issue here is that the teams above them all have better 2nd or 3rd balls. Their best iteration is ez/NEB on offense while they hope Doris can lock down the defense. I know nothing about Taurus, so if he’s actually good then my statement earlier in this about Super contention would be horribly wrong.
6.) Snipe Hunt (Ty, aaron, Armbranch, no name)
Ty is elite but I stumbled upon one of okthen’s recent ramblings on the discord or the subreddit that he’s lost focus. If Ty somehow regresses or has regressed to above-average play this team is doomed. Aaron is great and will be a fantastic 2nd ball. Armbranch is a solid 4th piece but they’re lacking a 3rd option and unless that’s no name, I can’t see this squadron excelling.
7.) Poop (BALLDON'TLIE, Fender, Grimrog, Mr. Awesome)
Love me some BDL, top 3 or 4 player this season. Fender probably ends up as a top 5 O option. Feel like they have probably one of the top 2somes in the league. That said, I’ve never heard of Grimrog or Mr. Awesome which leads me to think they’re bad. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but reaching on two balls is never a good idea. BDL needs to be more vocal in game and bring these young guns under his win to nurture and grow them like his children. If Grimrog and Mr. Awesome can learn from the ever wise BDL, I could see this squadron vying for a playoff spot.
8.) CircleJukers (toasty, BallsToYou, Nameless, q42)
Is toasty still good? Probably. If he ends up being elite again I still don’t feel like I can see this team going too far. Could be wrong.. q42 is probably the next best piece on this team, he’s been underrated for like 12 seasons now. Haven’t seen Nameless play in a while but he’s definitely worth of a roster spot in majors and could see him excelling in a 3rd ball role. BallsToYou is a thrower last time I checked but then again so is everyone in this game.
