Gridironpainter, no need to think in terms of hijacking. If it something relevant to the topic that I can learn from, rest assured, I am all ears. These are intriguing ways to play under the
CWD methods.
I have employed the "superstar" method in that I want to create a team in my own image. If I want to have that great O-line, where they way 10 grams each, trust me, it may bite me in some other area. This gives you the chance to build a squad in your own image. If you hate to pass, you may want to make an Offense that is capable of running for 2,000 yards in a 16 game season. You would have to determine what you are willing to give up to create this great running game.
Do you give up some weight in the LB area? Do you make your WRs lightweight where a cover corner would totally destroy him on most plays? Or do you make your team more geared towards the pass with receivers such as a Lynn Swann and Stallworth weighing 7.0 grams apiece? Would you take a little something from your O-line to give to these guys to make sure on a 3rd and 6, one of these guys will get open!
The only thing about this (and this is where it gets fun) is that if one of your star players get SERIOUSLY injured, for 5-12 weeks, and he's weighing in at 7 grams, and you have to put a scrub in there, now you really have to coach that light weight receiver up!
But this is all in the fun of the concept that is making my time playing so much fun. Like I said, this is just another method I am finding both enjoyable and intriguing and if I have a league, it would definitely go this route. It's just too much fun to see a coach have to take a starter out late in the game when he wants to run up the score but know he can not risk an injury to his superstar players!

Receiver: For example: Minimum size say 3.5, max 4.5.g. So your roster allots 20 grams for five receivers. That's 4.0 for each receiver. So if you want two big receivers like the Bengals then that is 9 grams. Now what you have left is two 3.5's and one at 4.0. So you have one decent backup, a kick returner, and a Cliff branch type. Not so bad.
You could do the same with the linebackers by Moving the maximum up to 5, min 4.0 grams and the linemen to 6 grams max, 5 grams min.
That way say you are allotted 5 linebackers. Then you would be allowed 25 grams to build a Ray Lewis, Lawrence Taylor, and Hollywood Henderson.
That way your big receiver can handle your smaller linebacker, your large linebacker can take on the smaller linemen, etc.
Just thinking here.
