Being homegrown is what has kept me interested in this game. I promoted to this league on a bit of a fluke, and didn’t expect to stay, but have managed to squeak by season after season. While promoting to the next level as home grown seems pretty unlikely, I just enjoy having to game plan to find a route to avoid relegation. I haven’t been able to land a stud recruit that can get me over the hump, but have a team full of quality guys that definitely play above their salary level thanks to balanced skills and secondaries. No real road map to homegrown life, and I have made many errors along the way, but it has kept me coming back.
I believe it was the New York Dragons that got me interested in the concept when we were in the same league a while back, so kudos there!
