Looks like there are already some EFLI Fantasy Football leagues starting up: here (above) and here. Which players can put up those standout individual stats? The box score for the first two games have been posted (here and here). With this, and other knowledge, I have created a preliminary EFLI Player Power Rankings to help you with your EFLI Fantasy Football draft. Today, I’ll start with the quarterbacks:
#1: Dinesh Kumar (PUN) – The Michael Vick of the EFLI: dual-threat, and he even wears number #7. Expect good passing and rushing yardage, as well as multiple rushing TDs from him.
#2: Mayank “Brady” Sharma (DEL) – His nickname is “Brady” for a reason: he models his game after Tom Brady’s. With weapons like Anant “Fabio” Verma and Amit “Happy” Lochab in his arsenal, expect some monster passing numbers from him.
#3: Jitendra Shetty (BAN) – He’s the starting QB of the high-powered Bangalore Warhawks offense. He’s throwing to one of the best wide receivers in the league in Navaneeth “Chamber” Shanta, as well as some other pretty good wide receivers in Cinto Chako and Sandeep Kumar. Oh yeah, don’t forget he can also throw to a guy named Roshan Lobo.
#4: Kanishka Konara (KAN) – He’s the starting QB for the fan favorite Kandy Skykings. Hopefully he can live up to his team name and indeed be the king of the sky.
#5: Jahangir Nawaz (PAK) – He’s got some pretty good wide receivers to throw to, including 6’4″ Shenal Dias and Waqar Javaid.
#6: Ashutosh Rathod (MUM) – When you have arguably the best offensive lineman in Preetesh Balyaya guarding you, you’ll have more time to make a great pass. He’s also got the Calvin Johnson of the EFLI to throw to, 6’4″ 245 lbs Nitin “Megatron” Deshmukh, as well as 6’6″ Rahul “Sticks” Kelaskar. (EDIT: Moved up to #6)
#7: Ronit Banda (KOL) – He’s the starting QB for the underachieving Kolkata Vipers, but this kid’s got some skill. A Google search, assuming it’s the same person, shows he played wide receiver for his high school football team in the United States. Expect some decent passing and rushing yardage from him. (EDIT: Moved up to #7)
#8: Zulker Hamid (COL) – The Colombo Lions are a powerhouse of a team. From what I’ve gathered, Zulker Hamid is the starting QB of a well-balanced offense. (EDIT: Changed from Sandun Bandara, dropped down to #8)
#9: Gurwant Singh (BAN) – He’s backing up Jitendra Shetty, but his first game shows he’s got talent. Pretty nice when your team has a backup QB that outperforms other starting QBs in the league.
#10: Avtar “Manni” Singh (DEL) – Perhaps his nickname is “Manni” because he puts the ball right on the “money”. He’s backing up “Brady”, but that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t play. Expect him to see some decent playing time and put up some good numbers with it.
