Congrats amalric/Warriors, you have become a consistent winner across all your leagues/teams, you have def dialed in the player atts for each position group, rules, play selection and use. I highly recommend that those who want to compete for LCs should review your rosters and game log to get an idea of what is working.
I have another question for our League Administrator (and our community of team owners.)
As the EFL transitions over to season #2 with the new play diversity rules, there is an issue that needs clarification that has been lightly touched directly (and hinted at indirectly) on the message board(s).
Part of the description of the rules state that teams should "...select a full 40 offense and 30 defense plays. At least 2 plays from each personnel and formation sets on offense, and all Secondary & Linebacker sets on defense, other than Blitz 2+."
It is clear from this statement what is required offensively, but is less clear defensively. That portion of the statement that addresses defense says "...and all Secondary & Linebacker sets on defense, other than the Blitz 2+" does not expressly say "2 plays" for each of these sets on defense as it does for offense.
So, the question is as follows... To be in compliance with the rules on defense, must teams have at least one play from all Secondary & Linebacker sets on defense or, alternately, must teams have at least two plays from all Secondary & Linebacker sets on defense?
Good question. This point definitely needs to be clarified.
One amendment for Offense: 1RB/4WR (104) needs only 1 selected and activated play due to low numbers of plays. Same amendment should work at least for 4-Deep Man.

Its at least 1 play from each secondary and LB coverage on defense. It would make it more challenging to have 2 plays from each and one play from the 4 deep man & zone. But, that would be too difficult to both get compliance and monitor it. The 3 deep man & zone is also primarily a pass defense with an extra DB in the sets. Trying not to complicate it more than where we are currently at, hope everyone enjoying the effort and difference in game play vs leagues that do not use the full play selection and use approach. Any ideas & suggestions to improve the game play are always much appreciated. The passing game is still what I would call at a disadvantage versus previous game versions, you can see from the QB passer ratings, we are lucky to get more than 2 or 3 QBs with a rating over 90. But, at least we are seeing some use and success with long passes that was totally nerfed in the current 4.6 with overused 43 Normal and Dime defenses and blitzes.

Good Game Princex of the Hidden Royals. Grandpa is correct about it being more difficult for the QBs to have a consistant high passer rating. Both of our QBs had a miserable opening day for this season.
Offense: 32/40 Defense: 20/30
Defense should have had another play or few used. I will tinker with it more.

GG Royals. (Check your Special Teams depth chart for the Kickoffs position. Your squad had a WR kickoff to start the 2nd half of the game even though you have a K on your roster.)
