As was the case for the previous Franchise Draft Tournament, I expect to see some huge falloffs for successful round 1 teams as well as round 1 MVP and Cy Young players. I will provide one early season example below. (I have linked all the round 1 leagues to the Cardinals/Yankees round 2 league).
My round 1 Reds team
94-68 (best in league)
.591 exp winning% (best in league)
Lost 4-1 in World Series to 78-84 team
'24 Eppa Rixey 25-8, 3.57 ERA, Cy Young Winner
My round 2 Reds team
Started 0-10
Currently 10-19
'24 Eppa Rixey 0-5, 6.38 ERA
