The most unlucky team in all of FFL, Xavier’s Annihilation Squad (formerly The Legion of Doom) has been the best team to not make the play-offs for two years in a row. With the onset of the league’s expansion and the new play-off format this team should have a great shot at a play-off bid, and possibly even the winning of the newly put together Central Conference. This team has a lot of great characters for the expansion teams to steal that are left over from the old Legion of Doom regime, but Prof. X obviously has a new path in mind for the franchise. The Queen Aliens tend to fight among themselves for dominance which has resulted in the deaths of #’s 2, 8, & 10. Allosaurus #12 ate Wookie Soldiers #16 &18, and Ancient Sith Lord #15 choked Atreides Soldier #21 to death when he failed a test mission. The Sith Lords have learned a lot from the powerful Darth Bane and have created a Sith order that rivals the Sith in their glory from thousands of years ago. With a good draft, we can all expect this team to have a better season than they have ever had in the past.

Despite making quite a few good moves in the season 2 draft, Better Than All of You did not have anywhere near the success last year as they did in Season 1. But with them being removed from the Nick Houslander Division, and no longer having to play The Commandos twice a season; Better Than All of You should have a very good chance of making the play-offs this year. This team still does have a good core, and with their monopoly on Predators and Terminators they have some of the best commons in the league (Only the Backyardigans are really comparable). The Predators can’t help doing a little trophy hunting in the off-season which has resulted in the deaths of Army Soldier #12, Cobra Viper #6, & Orc #11. To rally the troops in true pro-wrestling fashion, several Terminator/N.S.-5 robot death matches have been thrown together which ended up dealing deaths to N.S.-5’s #13, 14, & 20 (The Terminators are still undefeated). This primarily evil (and male) team gets along pretty well with each other, and it is pretty safe to say that we can look forward to a much better year for Better Than All of You.

The Commandos are easily still one of the premier teams in the N.L., and with the reforming of the Nick Houslander division they should have little difficulty, winning the division for the third year in a row. Jedi Padawans #34A-36A were taken as apprentices by Jedi Masters Kaja Sinis, Ben Kenobi, & Luminara Unduli. Dumbledore gladly gave up his unorthodox spot on the Jedi Council, as soon as Kaja Sinis joined the team, which has established a strong Jedi leadership that works very closely with President Obama and at times serve as a good go-between for the President and the Doom and Montana factions that at times can be very polarizing. This has resulted in quite a few in-house squabbles usually prompted by some of the team’s evil characters. Most famously was the big Gungan/Sardakaur battle which ended up with the deaths of Gungans #12, 28, & 35, as well as Sardakaur #16 and horse #14 (innocent bystander). Training sessions are still taking place daily, which are proving useful in the furthering of the fighting prowess’s of many of the fighters, most notably Dora, Boots, and the Brangelina brats. No doubt that this team will remain a force to be reckoned with next year and that they will easily grab up a premier play-off seed.
