THE ROSTER LAB

Going past the in-game "99". Dynasty Rating (DR) starts from the game's OVR, then adds credit for how far a player's archetype-relevant traits beat the historical elite baseline — so it's uncapped (the true freaks read past 100) and separates a 108-caliber 99 from a barely-a-99. 2035 pre-season (season 11 — the encore), full attribute database.

Depth charts are manufactured by us from DR (the roster view lists players but doesn't slot them). Interchangeable lanes pooled: OL & LB fully, DB by coverage/speed, DL = edges + interior with edges able to slide inside.

① POWER INDEX

The headline metric: optimized, position-weighted talent across your primary offense and defense.

② UNIT STRENGTH

Starter-quality OVR by unit — QB and HB are the starter; WR+TE is the top 3 WRs + TE; the rest are the optimized group.

③ SCHEME MATRIX

Position-weighted lineup rating for every configuration. Darker = stronger.

④ SPEED WHERE IT MATTERS

We never average whole-team speed (OL is noise). These are the buckets that decide games.

⑤ BEST OF THE BEST — THE NATION'S TOP PLAYERS

Top 8 across all five teams by Dynasty Rating — our composite, so this is genuinely best, not just "another 99."

⑥ TRUE 99s — SEPARATING THE FLAT 99 OVRs

Every player the game rates a 99 OVR, ranked by our Dynasty Rating. The spread is the point: not all 99s are equal.

⑦ BEST OF THE REST — BY TEAM

Each team's next-best four, excluding anyone already in Best of the Best.

⑧ BEST AT EACH POSITION — ALL-NATION TEAM

The top player at each spot across all five teams (OVR, then speed). Runner-up noted below each.

⑨ STATISTICAL OUTLIERS — THE FREAKS

Players who are far above their position peers on ANY metric — speed, coverage, pass rush, route running, blocking, accuracy, and more. The number is the standout rating; the line below names the metric and percentile.

⑩ FUTURE CORE — NEXT YEAR & BEYOND

Young Star/Elite talent that returns and rises (current OVR → projected next season). The full picture — who's leaving, who develops, and next year's depth chart — is on the Next Year Outlook.
