The variable cap turned out to be much easier for me than I thought it would be, and I actually ended up with extra time to try to finish a second 110M team and compare them. I didn't love my first one, but it had the advantage of being done and legal. As it turned out, I was able to go back to the first 110 team I'd tried and stopped when the rules questions started, and I liked it quite a lot more than the first one. So I swapped them out.
But I realize that I have no idea what to expect from anyone else's teams, as opposed to basically all the other themes. In theory, you could start with any team from any year and make something out of it. I used one team from the 40s and one from the 60s, and there's no way I would have arrived with the same 25-man roster if I'd picked any other team or year to start from. So this league could really be all over the map. With tons more time, I would have been curious to see what a few different era rosters could have produced for better comparison.
