Football Depth Chart Strategy: Starters, Rotation, and Insurance
Start with role fit
Overall rating matters, but position, scheme, health, and specific attributes decide who can execute the job.
Value the second name
A weak backup at a high-leverage position can erase the advantage created by an elite starter.
Recheck after every move
Trades, injuries, releases, and draft picks should trigger a full depth-chart review rather than a single swap.
Use it in the franchise
Apply one decision at a time in CALL SHEET, then inspect the roster, cap, standings, statistics, morale, health, or coaching grade that changed. The simulator’s clubs and players are fictional.
