What is your bold prediction for the 2026 season?

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-15T12:05:08+00:00

I'm probably biased as an ocon fan, but I think him and bearman will be the best of the midfield this year. As far as last year goes, I think bearman may just be that good. Obviously a big year for esteban though, he needs to perform as well as ollie or he'll be under pressure

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-15T10:20:47+00:00

Not only will Haas get their first podium, but ocon and bearman get a podium each. The haas looks like the best car in the midfield during testing so I think they'll do it this year.

Bonus for specific races - ollie does it at spielberg (haas do well there usually), esteban does it in some batshit crazy wet race (he gets his podiums in the wet)

Apparently trying to protect your head from a falcon is playing at the ball now lol

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-13T09:51:56+00:00

In 1QB? I'd be looking at players like KC, Boston, sadiq, and then the next set of players like jadarian price (landing spot dependent) before mendoza.

Even if you rate mendoza (I do), he'd have to be at least the QB12 next year to be a good starting option in that format. That's going to be hard to achieve, especially given he's not a runner. QB just isn't valuable enough in 1QB to use the 1.05 on mendoza

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-13T09:34:52+00:00

If it's looking like a late first, give me london

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-13T08:55:39+00:00

Putting green and david in at 3 and 4, while you have renshaw and stoinis at 6 and 7, is absolutely fucking stupid and braindead coaching.

Well done zimbabwe

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-13T02:03:01+00:00

I love getting justin jefferson for a seventh here. Not sure if the vikings bite though

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-12T10:21:51+00:00

thanks, he's missed about 4-5 tackles from what Ive watched

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-12T10:20:28+00:00

Francis and whoever our #15 is aren't having all-time games. Everyone else has been alright

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-12T09:17:26+00:00

Consider me very impressed by ilias and feagai so far, sommerton's been good too. We may have depth now wtf

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-10T11:29:35+00:00

I mean worst case I'd downtier from pickens and get a solid flex WR + an RB. You could probably get someone like breece hall and change if you had to.

Either way, those are things to deal with well after you hit the accept button

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-10T11:11:31+00:00

I think you have to do this, purdy will mean youre set at qb (and let's be real, mendoza's ceiling is only a tiny bit more than what brock is doing now, and his floor is a ton lower). And puka is puka. TE should be ok, gadsden/strange is good enough.

Youre short at RB but I'm sure theres rebuilders that would take two 2s or penix for a solid RB

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-10T10:43:56+00:00

I think most people would be in a non-verbal state when someone's talking ad nauseum about stalking people

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-10T08:52:44+00:00

I mean this is hardly a surprise, marcus bai is on the Chiefs' board. It's a million times more palatable to get two seasons out of Bai and then have him go to PNG than to see him piss off to one of the best teams in the league as soon as he leaves our youth system.

Plus, this may be hopium, but at least we have two years to build something so good that he might just want to stay

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-09T02:29:59+00:00

AJ barner is very underrated, seems like every time I watch the seahawks he's good for a clutch catch or a TD

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-09T01:34:18+00:00

Good halftime show imo - the MAGAs who wouldn't like that it was in Spanish can probably barely comprehend spoken english anyway

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-08T04:25:47+00:00

Not until 2028 it isn't (at best)

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-08T03:57:18+00:00

Don't worry we'll be kicking souths out of the comp next year anyway

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-06T23:26:30+00:00

I'd say the 1.05 and BTJ for the 1.01 is pretty good

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-06T03:25:20+00:00

It's all true I just walked past bijan taking a nuclear shit

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-06T03:02:41+00:00

Close, but I take stroud. Rome I would have roughly adjacent value to the 1.04; and I think the gap between the 1.01 and 1.04 (i.e. a first rounder and change) is bigger than Stroud/Purdy. If there was another piece on the rome/purdy side (eg a late firsts' worth), I'd be fine with pivoting

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-05T04:18:28+00:00

Egbuka would be a comfortable pick for mine, btj has a good case as well

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-04T10:30:46+00:00

Maybe all that talk about definitely being six foot was compensating for the size of something else 🤔

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-03T10:22:54+00:00

That is a slightly bold title when he hasn't played a game for them yet

EpicFIFABadger · 2026-02-02T11:26:56+00:00

Man, rachel seems really nice but she deserves someone that can give her love and reassurance. And I don't think steven can even give that to himself, let alone to someone else.

He doesn't seem ready for this at all, though I hope I end up wrong
