  "Some good tips to start franchise mode is that you should trade away some old veterans for draft picks and make sure to scout positions you need for the draft and use all of your scouting points each week."
  

 Runners-Up - 7 packs each

• Firewolf090
  "My personal favorite is taking a team that has been struggling, creating a custom player (Usually with my name) putting them in the lineup and relocating the team for a fresh start."

  "First looking at what top assets we can either trade for picks or rookies. This year i took over the saints in our 30 man connected franchise and immediately shipped brees and 2 1st round picks to Texans for Watson. These are the long term moves you should be looking at making as this frees up immediate cap space to plug other holes."

  "To me the draft is the most important part of building your team. Scouting is a huge part of that. For each draft, I look to see what my teams top two needs are on each side of the ball. If that means on I need an Tackle and a Wide Receiver, than at a minimum you should be scouting each “draftable” player at that position. If I need a CB and a MLB on defensive, scout each “draftable” player at those positions. Do not waste scouting points on position you do not play on drafting."

  "What i do is create a player and coach to take in to the new season. I create a qb and max out his ratings so he is an overall 99. I usually pick a team that has a 90 or higher qb like Tom Brady and the pats, or Rodgers and the Packers. I trade them to another team that needs a QB and get a first rounder for them. This allows me to have 2 first round picks for the next season."

  "When playing franchise do not underestimate the power of backups. Also don’t trying to do unnecessary things for stats that’s usually when your players get hurt."
