Best homegrowns of Week 11
Noah Touré has been delivering incredible performances since the beginning of the season, especially impressive for a rookie. In Week 11 against the Mercenaries, he managed to generate 100 yards and score a touchdown with just four catches, contributing important big plays to the Vikings' victory. On the defensive side, another homegrown player stood out. Marvin Wappl was responsible for only two tackles but also managed to secure two sacks. He was a cornerstone in the strong Vikings' defense, preventing the Mercenaries' offense from getting into gear.
For the Vikings' opponents, John Falk once again delivered a standout performance for the Mercenaries. The Swiss player recorded 17 tackles and 2 tackles for loss. With 110 tackles in 10 games, Falk is now the second-best tackler in the league this season. Another linebacker who shone was Sasan Jelvani of the Surge. In their game against the Milano Seamen, Jelvani recorded 8 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 forced fumble.

Homegrown running backs also helped their teams to important victories over the weekend. Eduard Molina led his Madrid Bravos to overrun the Hamburg Sea Devils. He achieved 53 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, as well as 14 receiving yards. Justin Rodney also played a crucial role in the Munich Ravens' decisive victory over the Prague Lions. With only seven carries, he gained 87 yards and scored a touchdown.
The game of the week between the Frankfurt Galaxy and the Cologne Centurions was decided in overtime. Jannik Lörcks, who had been strong throughout the game, caught the decisive touchdown in overtime, keeping the Cologne Centurions' playoff hopes alive. With 9 catches for 98 yards and the game-winning touchdown, Lörcks was one of the match-winners for the Centurions in this game.
