TL;DROn-field success is about clock management and avoiding turnovers.Off-field success is about managing morale and Coaching Credits (CC).Your Quarterback is the engine of your entire dynasty.The On-Field BasicsPassing is Timing: Don't just aim at the receiver; lead them. Throw to where the route will be. A slight underthrow on a deep route is often better than an overthrow, as your WR can come back to the ball.The Checkdown is Your Friend: Your Running Back (RB) is your safety valve. If everyone is covered downfield, a short pass to the RB can gain 5-7 yards and keep the drive alive. Don't force risky throws.Clock Management 101:Winning: Run the ball and make short passes in-bounds to drain the clock.Losing: Throw to the sidelines to stop the clock. Use your timeouts strategically to save time for a final game-winning drive.The Off-Field EssentialsMorale is Everything: A happy team avoids fumbles and dropped passes. An unhappy team will sabotage your season. Win games and hold team meetings to keep morale high.Coaching Credits (CC) are Gold: This is your most valuable currency. Don't waste it on trivial things early on.Your First Hire: Hire a good Offensive Coordinator. A high-rated OC will make your star players even better.Pro TipBefore the snap, read the defense. If you see a defender deep in the middle (a single safety), your outside routes are likely open. If you see two deep safeties, the middle of the field is your weak point to attack.
