 From Rob Gronkowski being the best prestige I've probably ever done, to Nick Bosa who looked like the worst prestige ever and glowed up to the best edge rusher in the game. Welcome to a brand new season! We are in the dead middle of the NFL playoffs, so I'm excited to make this season. It's going to be a really good time. And we've got some housekeeping to do since it's a brand new season. Let's start by looking at the team and our new prestige player. On offense, there is nobody new. We've still got our prestige, Jamar Chase, we've still got our prestige Rob Gronkowski. Now last season I did have Puka Nakua and Puka Nakua recently got a super strong 95 overall limited for his insane game against the Lions. But I do already have a wide receiver and I'm holding on hope Jamar Chase could still get a team of the year. He got one last year, I believe in the Bengals faithful fans to vote for that since EA's team of the year is a fan vote. Which means that my prestige was a defensive player. This might not be a shocker. It's 93 overall, Jalen Carter. Yes, I gotta say after watching the Eagles pitiful playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers I was kind of on the fence about this but you gotta remember the reason I'm prestigeing Jalen Carter is I think he's gonna get defensive rookie of the year. My other option was Will Anderson but playoff performance does not matter for these awards. All these awards are regular season awards. So yeah, Will Anderson's looking a little bit better right now because I'm biased and I saw the Texans play but still I think Jalen Carter's getting defensive rookie of the year. I've got a 93 overall with a discounted inside stuff regardless and once he gets that NFL honors card I expect it to be a 97 overall. And when he drops he'll be the best he tackle in the game. So that's what we're going for there. Obviously we still have Bosa who's an absolute dog. We still have our prestige Ray Lewis who's an absolute killer. 92 Ray Lewis is obviously not good enough to replace the cover athlete limited but as you guys may know this season for Ray Lewis right here does have an upgrade path that turns him into a super dominant 96 overall. It's gonna take me some time to get that. We're already level 21 but I think we got to get to level 40 or 50 to make this happen but I'm entitled to the best version of Ray Lewis. So as soon as we get that we can sub him in and Ray Lewis is gonna get even better. So that's really cool to look forward to. Derwin James is another really early prestige. He got this unstoppable card early on. Great card. Since then he hasn't got anything and at this point it's fair to say that he is outdated. He gets a good ability in deep end zone KO and he's played okay but 89 speeds definitely gonna get me in trouble. So we either got a hope for a Derwin James card or we're gonna have to replace him at some point this season. My issue with this is I don't see how he gets a card. Maybe he gets a team of the year because Chargers come out and vote for him or maybe EA drops some bizarre promo that he's in but Chargers ain't in the playoffs so he's not getting a playoff card. He didn't really do much this season. I just don't know how he's gonna get a card. He'd have to get like a random team of the week throwback. I don't know. So that's our lineup to start out. We're at a 74 overall. We also have our prestige Harrison Buckhurst so we still got a good kicker. Really glad I did that. And since I won the Super Bowl I was going to open the trophy packs but I want to try something new today. At the start of every Wheel of Mutts season I spin the team wheel. The team wheel decides my Jersey Stadium coach and most importantly it determines my offensive and defensive playbooks. And one thing I've been thinking about is what if I took one player from that team as well to basically be my team captain. They represent our Wheel of Mutts team. So instead of the trophy packs I'm gonna do that today. We're gonna spin this team wheel to determine what team I am for this season of Wheel of Mutts and I'll take one player of my choice from that team to represent the squad. So it's really like a team wheel jackpot. Final stipulation. I'm only spinning a wheel of playoff teams. The reason I'm... Oh my god I'm gonna be telling this. No! Dude I actually love Dallas' uniforms but does this mean I'm guaranteed to choke in the wild card? Does this mean I'm gonna lose to the 7C? I'll tell you one thing. Dak Prescott is not my team captain. Hey well first things first. We got Mike McCarthy at coach. We got Cowboys Stadium and dude I'm telling you Cowboys uniforms are sick. And like I said most importantly we have Cowboys Offense and Cowboys Defense. I can personally say I have never used either. Cowboys Offense is balanced. Cowboys Defense is Tampa 2. We'll see what they got. We'll make it work as we always do. I'm excited to check it out. And now I'm gonna go grab one Cowboys player to represent this team. I decided to only spin playoff teams since we're in the playoffs. Thought that would be fun but normally I'm not gonna do that. Ironically I get the Cowboys who aren't actually in the playoffs anymore so I guess that's my karma. What do the Cowboys have? Unfortunately they didn't do much in the playoffs so they don't have anything. There's a 94 overall CD lamb. I really like that. And then there's 94 Malikooker. Malikooker is a demon. I love this Malikooker. There is a third. It's prime time limited wide receiver but I'm not gonna go with him. I'm gonna go with 94 overall CD lamb. Honestly this is a great guy to represent the team. CD was so good. The entire season I genuinely feel bad for him. As a wide receiver you really have only so much of a say in what goes down in the playoffs. 94 speed, 94 jump, 94 deep route run. Excellent to everything. Great spec catch. His catching traffic is a little low. I'm kind of shocked by that. But he's still an incredible card. I don't think it's gonna matter. And honestly Jamar needs a little bit of help because that Jamar is from Halloween. So 94 CD lamb is our Dallas Cowboys representative. I'm gonna go pick up a CD lamb jersey as well so I can rep our team captain. Just a classic little tax write off for wheel of mud. Get fucked IRS. Short out elite wide receiver apprentice. Wide receiver apprentice will be good if I don't get a hot route master quarterback in any of our wheel spin. So for now I'm just gonna give him double me. Call it a day. Put him at wide receiver too. I'm also gonna put him at slot wide receiver. We'll see what CD can do. I imagine he's gonna have a great season. So boys we're ready to start season five. I've got my team captain CD lamb or the Dallas Cowboys for season five. Let's see if we can win a playoff game. This one's for you Cowboys fans. We can do this. I believe. All right boys the season five wheel. Let's have another amazing season. Let's start out with a nice spin. Yeah. Please tell me CJ Stroud has a nasty car. Dude the best car that CJ Stroud has is a 91. Dude I just know that CJ Stroud is gonna get an insane card in the second wave of playoffs. But it hasn't dropped yet. Wait a minute. What am I talking about? When 95 overall 96 speed. Zay flowers is looking you dead in the face for a wheel of mud season five opener. You drop 1.7 mil and you buy Zay flowers. Dude rookie jackpot is usually not that good because there's usually not that many insane rookies. But when every rookie is going off you got some crazy cards. Though he's sad I couldn't get CJ Stroud. But the good news is I know he is gonna give CJ Stroud a good card. It's just a matter of time and we could still add him in the future. We just can't add him today. We're gonna get 95 Zay flowers and I officially have three absolutely nutty wide receivers. In Zay flowers CD Lamb and Jamar Chase. I'm putting 95 Zay at wide receiver one. He's boosted to a 96. Jamar Chase becomes wide receiver three and CD Lamb is wide receiver two. We've got no quarterback. We've got no half back. We've got no offensive line. We've got no safeties or corners. But goddamn we have some awesome wide receivers huh. Our second wheel spin that was honestly risky. There's a lot of better positions I could have taken. But I gotta thank Zay when he's sitting right in front of me. We get the team diamond team wheel. So on this one we will use every single team. We get the team diamond player associated with this team. This I really hope that I get a position that we can actually use here. Sorry I know it's the commanders. I just I just have this desire to be an asshole. So I keep it as Redskins. This is kind of a nasty team. Dying Brian Arakpo. I used to use a Brian Arakpo back in Madden Mobile 15. Now he is a power rusher. He's more of an edge threat guy. But you know what he has 80 zone. No he's great. Okay this is actually exactly what I'm looking for in linebackers because a lot of my pressure comes from BOSA. But at the same time I actually don't know what Cowboys Defense is going to give me. Cowboys Defense is catered to Micah Parsons. Brian Arakpo is like a poor man's Micah Parsons. I don't mean that in a historical context. I mean in Madden Ultimate Team okay. I'm sorry to the one gigantic Brian Arakpo fan that I just bravely offended. But 92 Brian Arakpo. We definitely need an outside linebacker. We've got an outside linebacker and he can cover. This is a really nice pickup. Brian Arakpo let's get it. Third and final wheel spin for the opener. I'm going to say this boys. If I don't get packs this is going to be an incredibly difficult game. Thought to me. Oh my god I needed that so badly. Three of the newest promo packs. So technically the newest promo is not playoffs. It's actually a k a cruise. I don't know if you guys saw this but there's a megatron. There's a few other players you know what I'm just going to open them. We get three of these packs right here. Really got a hope for a quarterback though. I don't even know if there is a quarterback. They need to keep should be nice. I'll put them at outside linebacker. The team of the week Trey McBride will be a backup tight end. And John Randall will be a starter. I don't think there's a quarterback in here. This is so risky. I have no halfback no quarterback. Josh Dobbs the pastor not there is a quarterback. Dobbs got a 94 overall called the pastor not. I just forgot about it until right now that is huge. If you know what 87 Dobbs can get the job done. Absolutely. Willie Roof will be a starter. So we'll buy it and we get one more. They just say to save this wheel of money. I have a chance to win now. A very legitimate chance to win during for your ass. Why am I getting a headliner unstoppable. Sure do spawn. You're the starter. Oh my god an actual midget. Oh my god a 94. Dude why no matter what I do I suck off the Ravens. Dude this card is nasty. Yo we kind of got some pass rush. 94 power moves 93 finesse 96 block shed 88 speed. So he'll go across Robosa. I assume he probably gets a crazy discounted ability too. He gets unstoppable force a.k.a. crew starts on for five plays. Jeez those packs had a quarterback and a halfback in it. In exactly three that is as magical. Halfback is 82 speed Deuce Vaughn. That is absolute dog shit. But if you can catch a pass every once in a while you'll be all right. Left tackle is 80 Willie Roof. We didn't get any other offensive linemen so we're rocking all silvers. My backup tight end is 82 Trey McBride with 83 speed. Okay. My receivers are out of this fucking world good. Defensively my free safety can be that new Kevin Byrd we just picked up. Instead of Isaiah Bolden I'm going to put that 80 overall Jordan Fuller we just picked up. We're just going to have to rock absolutely horrible corners. Like we're going to get scored on. No question. My right outside linebacker is now 92 overall Brian Arachpo. New middle linebacker is Ray Nitschke 87 overall. Or no I'm going to put him at outside linebacker. He's actually he's a higher overall at outside linebacker. And then detackled to is John Randall. And that's everybody we just picked up. Let's give a Rackpwn ability just because we have the AP to give somebody an ability. Let's give him Crusher. And since we've got room we can also stack Ray Lewis with some extra abilities too. So he's already got lurk artists might as well give him Crusher too. Let's make people fucking feel it man. I'm giving zave flowers mid in elite. I'm giving CD lamb wide receiver apprentice. I will say I'm a firm believer that every game is winnable but I don't like how this looks. All right. Our challenge wheel this is absolutely crucial right now. Let me see what we got. You're telling me I need the game is leading rusher with 5 foot 6 82 speed douce Vaughn. Are you serious that or it's Josh Dobbs. Oh my God. This is the worst challenge I could have gotten. Holy shit. This is what we're doing. That's actually so uncool. I thought for a second that Madden's matchmaking was actually giving me someone with a similar overall team and I am sadly mistaken boogie avalanche. You're lying. He just juked through my avalanche. That was about to be a formal to start this out. William Perry just missed the pass as well. What I will say that's very good news is that was negative two yards there again. I've got the dig. Does he have something. Yeah he does. Nice throw. Honestly not bad defense. This is really scary though. He has like the best team in the game. Am I exaggerating when I say that this time. No I'm really not. I'm really not. Two rushes four yards. Now the thing about the challenge wheel that everyone's got to remember if I complete the challenge wheel but lose the game I can salvage one wheel spin. Which means I could salvage the wheel spin that had the packs or I could salvage jade flowers. Obviously the goal is to win the game but sometimes sometimes first in 10. I'm bringing buyer down for the run. No run. Dig dig dig come on. I just need to make a bad decision one time. Hey man up is in Ray Lewis come home second in 19 running man here and I'm going to try and get to William Perry. Oh I got through. Yes. That was a touchdown for sure. Third in 19. He doesn't get it. I'm going to go dime rush cover four quarters. I don't know playing outside for the corner out. Okay that's fine actually. As long as we get the tackle we do fourth and two. Dude if I turn this dude over. Holy shit. Oh if he runs it he's got it. Fourth and seven too many audibles. I'm going to guess pass. If he runs it he gets it. It's that simple. Oh my god I actually have a chance. Oh my god. He tried. He panicked. He panicked. He insta threw it thinking it's the blitz. Lewis Lurkartis quick 180 he takes it home. Now we get to the scarier part which is offense. Tillman Randy Moss, Winfield Carmichael Anderson, Armstead, Madabes Grompo. Fuck. Now we do have Vanguard on Gronk who lights up the other Gronk. And that 82 speed is deceptive. That's 15 yards Deuce Vaughn as I speak. He's the game's leading rusher. Going to go down to Deuce Vaughn. Oh here we go. I can run this weak side and get it. Deuce Deuce who rushes 24 yards. Yeah. Beautiful. Into Jamar Chase kind of an awkward catch. If that's a better ball that can go for a lot. Let's add that to one of our favorites. RPO alert bubble. Okay Deuce no fucking way he got to me that fast. The crazy thing is I can't even punt because my punter is a silver. It's actually hang time. I don't know if you guys know who Michael Turk is but he's my punter. Michael I gotta say bro they did you so fucking dirty that you can't punt further than 20 yards. I've watched your YouTube shorts. I am certain you can punt further than 20 yards. Fourth and 18. That's actually insane. He just guessed pass and I got four yards. We need the game's leading rusher. It's that simple. And I still want to play good defense just to prove to myself. Also this is a good time to learn some plays. So let's do it. We're gonna have to fight though. We got to earn these players so. Oh my fucking god. He can just take off. Oh my god. Derwin with the INT. Dude what are you doing? Wait I think Derwin James kind of blended in with the end zone there. Alright no let's try and score. I take it back. Let's try and win. I didn't think I'd be able to turn him over again. I think Zay flowers on just a burner is my best odds. No he's not there at all. Dobbs gets out of the pocket. Thank god and he's hitting me with the he's hit. Dude you're playing an 83 overall team. You don't have to hit me with the youtube.com blitz. Alright. You really don't. Yup. Yup. Well sort of. Let's go CD lamb on the check down. Josh Dobbs. Nice throw on the run. 87 overall making that throw. He's pressed up. We got to look at Zay flowers. Zay flowers is my best odds to score. Can I get around this? Josh Dobbs. Oh no. Diving tackle from Mada beast. We've got a chance to convert this. There he is. Jamar hang on. Dude you know how tilted he must be. Just watching me slowly. Slowly but surely potentially get yards. Hey so single bag wing pair stretch has been pretty money run play here. Let's send this to Gronk's side. Good God. Gronk just blew up every single one of those but he still took a bad angle. 3rd and 2 that's not bad. Who's funds get his yards? Let's run I form slot dagger. We just need. Dude I don't think he's going to guard this CD lamb. Hitch. He's going to continue to leave this. Oh no that one's guarded. Go Gronk. I need you Gronk. Huge catch. Dude Dobbs ain't bad. 87 Dobbs ain't bad at all. Two minute warning. Is that the second quarter? Wait a minute. Don't tell me I could be winning. Going into half. We got to go deep at some point right? CD. Got a double team here so that I have potential to roll out. Okay CD lamb. That's doable. Great catch that time. We've been clutched every single time. No reason to stop now. I think I'm going to take the douche following yards here. This looks really really good actually. Yeah this has a chance. This has a chance. Oh beautiful. Take the dive. Try and pick up extra. What you only got two on that? Are you kidding? I'm looking for Zay on the slant. I got CD. I got CD. Stay under. Got him. I got X and if he doesn't touch me. First and 10. I'm actually going to have the final possession of the first half and I'm going to score. I don't know if it's a field goal or if it's a tutty but I'm going to score. And he absolutely flies to. Wow. That's insane. Beautiful throw dobs. Third and two. There's a timeout. Can we pick this up? Beautiful. Oh my god. First and 10. Six seconds left. I kind of need to go for the touchdown. I have a feeling Zay Flowers gets in a seam here. Gronkh. High ball. Inside. That deep end zone KO on Bo is so good. He's hoeing me with that. All right. Now it's field goal time. It's all Madden. So I got to lock in on this kick. That's why we prestige. But Kurt baby. That's why we did it. I can't believe I'm saying this. But against a literal God squad. We have the lead in the first half. I turned him over on the first drive. Oh my god. This is fucking winnable. This would go down as my greatest victory. I'm serious. This would go down my greatest victory. This is the most methodical. You know what's so funny about Madden bro. Is when you give me the God squad. Like when you give me the good team. I can never play like this. I play like an idiot. I throw stupid passes. But right now I am marching down the field. With the most pitiful offense you've ever seen. Well that's not true. We're okay. Oh. Deuce. Deuce Deuce. Is Vaughn eight yards beautiful. Second and two. Single back wing pair stretch. This continues to work because he continues to have three down linemen. I form stretch. He like. Lee likes his nickel defense. 11 rushes 52 yards for Deuce. Clearly the game's leading rusher. Oh you're there CD. Oh. 87 Josh dubs. That was his first miss pass. I can't really be mad about that. He's been making some good throws today. I think CD is open. In fact he is. Is he on peppers? Oh he's on caramel. Uh oh. Go Grog. Uh oh. Horrible ball. They called that perfect accuracy. It was a stupid throw anyway. He's going to go Megatron. Dude. You're throwing out routes to double me. I just got to contain Derek Henry. That's actually the most important thing right now. And he doesn't go to Derek Henry. Works for me. I'm throwing that zone now. So we can't do that again. I have these bottled. Oh my God. That's actually. Yeah. That's just an overall difference. Byards in 84 prime times a 94. But that's a bad ball. You know he's going to hand this off. Bodies. Bodies. Second in goal. He passes. Okay. I got QB spies. We know it's a pass. We're guessing pass. He's not running it again. I'm going to sit over here so he won't throw Megatron. Come back to his hitch. I don't bail. I don't bail. I don't bail. Crazy throw. Nice catch. We're climbing Mount fucking Everest right now. Zay flowers. That is the second straight perfect accuracy throw that can't be caught. I don't know. I think I'm expecting too much out of 87. Josh Dobbs. Low key. Beautiful throw. Think he just got a DPI. Don't have to hand off Deuce Vaughn because he's clearly the leading rusher. Beautiful Zay. Can I get the throw this time? Yes I can. Can't turn up field but we'll take the seven yards. Just got to use Gronk and Chase as clear outs. That's a sketchy ball but he caught it. Nice work Zay. Take me third in inches. I had to switch onto that or I actually get fucking lurked and lose the game. I think Zay flower hitch is there because he's in the same defense he was before and that outside guy is going to float. Maybe fourth in inches. I actually don't trust the push push. Not with this team. We're just going to stay in it. We're going to find our man. Got him. That's a huge hit but he hangs on. Great work CD. That's why you're the team captain buddy. Zay. Oh wow that blitz was hot. No I'm just kidding. I got to come out of this. He's got me figured out on that. That's so stupid. I needed to go down. That was absolutely diabolical insane. But I needed to get the first and go down in bounds. Holy shit how did he not lurk this? He was so shocked at how fucking stupid that was that he could lurk it. See where I am on the field now. I can't use this entire clock. It's not possible. Zay flowers on the RPO. That's a monster RPO. God that is so good. I think that's actually what he scored on me with. That's a blitz. So open. Dude tell me why this is the best game I've ever. Come on. Can we go for two? No I'm not going to go for two. No no no no no. I know why I'm not going for two because look if he if all he gets. Oh my god. Jeez I'm telling you man it goes so fast on the line. If all he gets is a field goal then I'm getting my own field goal. I'm getting my own field. He's not going to use four minutes six seconds of this clock and kick a field goal. I think he's either going to score quick or he's going to turn it over. So I'm going to take this. The reason eight to nine is so bad is if he scores and takes another two point conversion then I'd have to go to overtime. I think this is the right call. Woo. Get home. Guess who it is. Brian Aragpo second and 15. Oh this is a Tampa two. I'm going to stay low risky. Oh go tight end. Go tight end. Although that's what I was saying. He's even going to score quick. Players are not high enough overall to make a plan. The only person who had a shot there was Aragpo. But Aragpo doesn't have lurk artist. All right. This is fine. This really changes. In fact this changes literally. It's pretty. Honestly I like this better. If I score I win. If I score with no time left I win. That is the exact reason that my PAT was so important. I am 100% out playing him. But can I come away with the delegates the question. Going deuce. Going deuce. Just don't follow my buddy. He just runs that route so horribly. I don't know if it's because of his overall or what. He played that well. I could have thrown that to A. I just didn't have the balls. God I got to have the balls right now. That was really bad. Right there. CD. Cards. I can't go end zone. Get down. Zay flowers is open. I haven't seen it in a while. Money. Great blocks. Stay. Stay. Stay. Don't get the first. I can't get it that early. He's got two timeouts. Second and two. I can't score with him having 30 seconds and two timeouts. He will instantly get in giggle. Yep. He's there. Now we just grab it. Oh. Nice. Nice Jamar. Way to fight. 91 overall Jamar fighting like a maniac. Take this clock down buddy. I just need a little bit of yards. Zay. Great catch. That's exactly what I need. We take this down to 20. I think Zay flowers might be the touchdown. He's going to try and get to it. No. I just held X to throw that on the timeout at 12. That was a mistake. I tried to throw that to the bubble. I'm going to give Zay the whip. What's the name of that? Pecklewood boy from town that works with the glass. Zay flowers. I'm going to give Zay the whip. Come on inside and get yourself something cool to drink. Zay flowers. No. Fuck. Zay flowers was there. Oh, I didn't see the pressure. Worthing 14 for every fucking marble you've ever had. Every marble you've ever... I think Gronk's my guy. Give me some time. I just got to go for it. The most unbelievable part right there was I held X. Zay flowers was the throw with X. And for some input lag or whatever it was, it hands off to Deuce Vaughn and he instantly dives forward with X. So it registered the X push, but it doesn't register the throw. That was a hell of a game. I'm really not mad. I just took a God squad to the final play. And honestly, I lost on some BS, man. Oh, they won't even show me it. So this is where Zay flowers was open. Was anybody else open? CD might have been open, might have been intercepted. Probably could have gone far right. Could have gone right here to Jamar. But I was looking at Zay who breaks on this outrow and I got sacked instantly. For the challenge wheel, we needed our game's leading rusher. Look at Deuce falling 12 for 51. Outrushed Eric Henry. I mean, he only had three carries. Did you get the idea? Jamar? Jamar. Wide receiver three. Okay. Seven for 89 and a touchdown. Got to give it to him. Six for 41. Zay five for 76 CD. We really played our fucking hearts out. So for completing my challenge wheel, I could either get a pack from the store or salvage a wheel spin. One of our wheel spins was Zay Flower who's obviously incredible. Another one of our wheel spins was a boatload of players. Dobbs, Vaughn, Willi Rowe, Trey McBride, Kevin Byrd, Ray Nitschke, Mada Buike, John Randall, Jordan Fuller. So gosh, that Mada Buike is really good. And then obviously the third wheel spin was Brian O'Rackpo, but he's really not on the table. He's an okay card, but it's got to be between Zay Flowers and this onslaught of players. The amount of players is very helpful, but every single one of these players is probably not going to make the end game team other than maybe Mada Buike. I really want this Zay Flower. I've decided, boys. I'm going to salvage Zay Flowers. The most expensive wide receiver in the game for a reason. My end game team is going to need this. So we're thinking for the long haul, but next episode is probably still going to be pretty tough. Can we give it up for Josh Dobbs, though? Josh Dobbs almost outplayed an absolute God squad. I'm so proud of him. All right, boys. The team is reset to exactly how it should look. Our record on the season is 0 and 1, but we get to keep 96 overall Zay Flowers. We've got absurdly good wide receivers who had amazing games. All three of them had an amazing game. We're going to have to get ourselves a quarterback and a hat-back once again, and obviously lots to patch up on the defense. But you know what? Played our hearts out. I'm geeked about it. All right, boys. I love y'all. I'll see you guys in the next episode. Peace.
