I was thinking of this very same idea recently. Didn't really think it through, though...
And I doubt the plays make a difference, as long as all the positions are correct. (Such as WR, LB, QB, RB, etc.)
Anyway...these are all Marvel G1 comics incarnations:
Autobots (starters and backups):
Owner: Primus
GM: Alpha Trion
Coach: Ultra Magnus
Assistant coaches: Wheeljack, Perceptor, Prowl
Team doctor: Ratchet
Jerry Jones: Kup
Towel bitches: Wheelie, Daniel
QB: Rodimus Prime, Jazz, Silverbolt
RB: Ironhide, Springer (power), Sideswipe, Blue Streak (speed)
WR: Mirage, Blaster, Blurr, Tracks
TE: Slag, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker
C: Omega Supreme, Computron
LT: Sludge, Snarl
RT: Hoist, Inferno
OL: Grapple, Broadside, Scoop, Skids, Jetfire, Brawn
LB: Grimlock, Optimus Prime, Hotspot
DE: Metroplex, Fortress Maximus
DT: Sunstreaker, Wreck-Gar
S: Red Alert, Streetwise, Groove, Blades, Swoop
DB: Fireflight, Air Raid, Skydive, Slingshot
Decepticons (starters and backups):
Owner/GM/Coach: Megatron
Assistant coaches: Shockwave, Onslaught
Team doctor: nobody (they die on the field; Megatron doesn't care)
Towel bitches: Rumble, Frenzy
QB: Soundwave, Cyclonus
RB: Razorclaw, Motormaster, Runamuck, Runabout
WR: Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust
TE: Wildrider, Breakdown, Dragstrip, Brawl
C: Devastator, Abominus
LB: Astrotrain, Octane, Rampage, Tantrum, Headstrong
DE: Scorponok, Trypticon
DT: Snaptrap, Dreadwind, Darkwing
S: Shrapnel, Kickback, Bombshell
DB: Blast Off, Vortex, Divebomb
That's the best I can do right now. I've been awake for almost 25 hours...
