Why the Cleveland Browns? Well pretty much every team in Madden is in a position to win either that season or the one after.

But the Browns have been historically mis-managed and have little to no talent in every position. Their LBs are solid, their DL has potential and the O-line is one of the better ones in the league, but aside from that there's not much talent to speak of.

With a $47m cap room and using Peyton Hillis as a workhorse back, I'm confident I can improve on their record from this season, and take them to the Superbowl in 5 years - but I've never used these sliders so time will tell.

Some notes about this lineup - while Josh Cribbs is the Browns' best receiver, I have put him in the slot as I wish to keep him fresh for punt and kick returns, and when I need to utilise the shotgun.

We have a definite overload of TEs and HBs, but that is a result of the Browns' real season with Hillis and Hardesty both going down around the same time mid-season.

CB TJ Ward is playing in the Free Safety spot, to allow Mike Adams and Usama Young to act as cover for a variety of positions. On the Browns, keeping people fresh is key.
