    If it happens in future, get both people to do it, in my experience that solves the issue.

    Saints take:

    Nate Eachus FB
    Larry Grant MLB

    That brings them to 53.

    Kirk Cousins cut and Tyrod Taylor signed. He's a better QB, and fits my scheme better. If anyone if looking for a good pocket QB, cousins is decent.

    Giants sign Matt Cassel by mistake. I wanted Mark Sanchez after comparing the attributes but I clicked on the wrong button :o

    Also signed FS Kurt Coleman, C John Goodman and DE Willie Young to bring me up to 51 players.

    Nice game there against Dan, he wins by a TD after I go for it on 4th and 1 and fail, nice mix of play calling, NFC South you've got a player!

    So how do people feel their Rosters are shaping up coming into Week 1?

    Great starters, no depth? Good starters, decent depth? Absolutely dog awful, in all categories, Jeff?

    Personally, outside of my QBs, where I have very decent depth but not proven quality, I'm happy enough.

    Barkley 78, Foles 79, and Drafted QB 71 I think. Barkley, I have a feeling has Superstar development, and so I'm hoping he's early to mid 80s come season end. Throwing power is his biggest issue, being honest.

    Most areas I've got some good to excellent starters and decent backup, I feel. Letting go of my 2nd best player, DeSean Jackson gave me the cap space, and situation, to bolster my depth in most positions.

    Quite happy with how I have progressed on the Defensive side of the ball as coming into this Franchise, Eagles were notoriously bad at stopping a cough, let alone a pass or run.

    Obviously week 1 will let you know much more, but so far, hows your Roster shaping up?

    Im quite happy with my roster, ive plenty of attacking options, just have to get them open now.

    Defence is where i struggle in this game, but ive been practicing different options so hopefully i'll do better then last season. 28th worst D in giving up yards.

    I'm happy enough too, I progressed all my players after not doing it all of season 1, so quite a few got a boost.

    I like Josh Johnson my backup QB, he is fast so may work him in on certain plays.

    I have 2 starter quality MLB's so trying to offload one of those for a WR2. Currently at wideout I have AJ Green who is class but not much else. The rookie Commodore might work out but for the moment that is my main weakness.

    Bernard and BJGE provide a good backfield as well.

    I also have 2 very good fullbacks, so if you are need of one let me know as it seems a bit of a waste!!

    I think somedays in this Madden, Defensively there's not a lot you can do at times. If you overcompensate to stop one thing, a single surprise play call, such as a screen, will kill you and the opposition can go for 60+ yards.

    I've about 6 core defensive formations that I like to start out from now, and a couple more depending on scenarios. Thankfully I've gotten to the stage where I know each of them well enough to set individual defensive actions pre snap so from there you can cover a lot more options.

    Think my pass D was pretty poor last season, definitely one of the worst in terms of stats, but CPU had 3 games down before I joined and I had to SIM two, so I think that contributes to a good chunk of the numbers. That said, I certainly wasn't a stingy defence when I was in charge, either.

    Pass d is very tough, chances are if you get a turn over more than your opponent you'll win
