Hey everyone, we are back for another week of flag.

We do have our first player spotlight and I will introduce him shortly but before that, I’m bringing back fantasy football for this season. I’ll outline the rules below and I’ll be against the FPF community each week which can showcase the best players within Division 5B.

Joueur à l’honneur : Guillaume Raeppel

Pour mon premier spotlight de joueur, je voulais mettre en avant un joueur que plusieurs voient comme sous-estimé. Après avoir parlé avec les capitaines la semaine dernière et entendu leurs commentaires, j’ai eu envie de jaser avec Guillaume Raeppel, un jeune joueur des Mangeux de Beignes (2-0). Prenons un moment pour mieux le connaître !

Pour ceux qui ne te connaissent pas encore, peux-tu te présenter ?

Je m’appelle Guillaume Raeppel, j’ai 17 ans et je joue au football en division 1 au cégep de St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. Je suis un jeune passionné et qui met du cœur dans tout ce qu’il entreprend.

Qu’est-ce que tu aimes le plus faire sur le terrain ?

Au football, je joue receveur. Alors, j’aime réussir des catchs contestés et briser des plaqués. Au flag, j’aime quand la game est serrée et que je réussi un sack important en défense ou un catch pour un td en offense.

Quel type de coéquipier es-tu ?

Comme coéquipiers, je suis un gars intense et exigeant mais qui réussit toujours à avoir le sourire et du fun en jouant avec mes coéquipiers.

Qu’aimerais-tu que les gens de cette division remarquent chez toi ?

Je veux que les autres personnes de la division remarquent que je suis un excellent receveur qui peut attraper des balles lors de situations importantes et que je suis un excellent rusher qui réussit à avoir un gros impact à tous les jeux, soit faire un sack, changer le read du qb et même rabattre des passes.

Quelle est une chose à propos de toi qui pourrait surprendre les gens ?

Que je suis un gars assez discret et calme qui ne parle pas beaucoup même qui montre l’exemple sur le field.

Comment tes amis te décriraient-ils en dehors du terrain ?

Je suis un gars de confiance qui est toujours investi à fond dans n’importe quelle activité et c’est très facile d’avoir une belle conversation avec moi tout en riant et en ayant du fun. Je suis un gars simple mais avec qui les gens ont toujours beaucoup de plaisir.

Player Spotlight: Guillaume Raeppel

For my first player’s spotlight, I wanted to highlight a player that was seen to be underrated. After contacting the captains last week and hearing their input, I decided I wanted to hear from Guillaume Raeppel, a young player from the 2-0 Les Mangeux de Beignes. Let’s get to knowing who he is!

For people who don’t know you yet, can you introduce yourself?

My name is Guillaume Raeppel, I’m 17 years old, and I play Division 1 football at CEGEP St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. I’m a passionate player who puts my heart into everything I do.

What do you enjoy most doing on the field?

In football, I play receiver, so I love making contested catches and breaking tackles. In flag football, I enjoy the smaller game where I can make a big defensive play like an important sack, or come up with a catch for a touchdown on offense.

What kind of teammate are you?

I'm highly driven and a teammate that pushes himself and others, but I always manage to keep a smile and have fun while playing with my teammates.

What do you want people in this division to notice about you?

I want people in the division to see that I’m a reliable receiver who can make catches in big moments, and also a strong rusher who has an impact on every play—whether it’s getting a sack, forcing the quarterback to change their read, or batting down passes.

What’s something about you that might surprise people?

That I’m actually a pretty quiet and calm guy who doesn’t talk much, but leads by example on the field.

How would your friends describe you off the field?

They’d say I’m someone you can count on, always fully invested in whatever I’m doing. I’m easy to talk to, love laughing and having fun, and I’m a simple guy who people genuinely enjoy being around.

Closing Remarks:

There you go for 5B and I wanted to thank Guillaume for allowing not only myself but the rest of the league to learn more about him. We’re heading into Week 4, and things are just getting started. I’m also playing in this division this season, so I’m looking forward to lining up across from some of you and competing later on. Should be a fun one!
