Season 68 - Conference Predictions (part 1)

Its the first day of the season. Usually its the day where most of us can rest a little bit, because there are no private leagues, just the Champion Shield games.
I´m going to do a little prediction of what will be this season, not that i know all the teams, but i think i know most of the teams that are joining the top Conferences.
Here we go, sorry for my english, wich is not my first language as you may have noticed lol.

Conference 1
Last season we saw a confortable win for Sydney FC Hammers. I believe he is the favourite again. Strongest team at the momen tin the Conference but in need of some replacements soon. I don´t know if they will make much importance till the end of the season but if it did it will have some teams ready to challange for the tittle.
We have three teams that came from other seasons ready to battle for the title: Citadel Utd, Queenslander and Reject City II. This last one in the midle of a big rebuilt. Birmingham City FC, South Shields and VCFC did not a great season last time, maybe they will try to improve.
Promoted teams will give a lot of work this season. Cannon Fodder, Heroes of The Man, The REAL Madrid and CHELSEA FC X are all managed by experient managers and managers that came from other servers. All of them will bring a lot of competition to this conference. I know three of them, and believe me they are good.

Conference 2
Another hard conference, where the team that finished in 3rd place was the winner of the three major cups last season. I Believe Anfield Rd Rangers will be the favourite for this season again, but he will battle for the title with 4 other teams: Reject City (previous champion), HH Beticos, Spartak and Kellys Heroes. There is a gap between those 5 teams and the others that came next: Elmo United, Uravinalaf, Bulgaria and Little Creek Lions. I can´t see those ones getting too close from the top 5.
From the promoted teams, i just can see two teams making some mess in the division. Hancock is a established team since some seasons ago, and will try to get some points from the top teams, but will he get into the top 5?
We also have a portuguese team called F.C.PORTO-PT, wich is a team that i know very well, been playing against him for almost 5 years, and i can say that in his days can make some upsets on the top 5.

Conference 3
Last seasons this Conference has been a long walk in the park for The Rumour Mill. His main rival will be once again my good friend Gary Hope, managing the team Chasing Memories. Maybe it will be a good idea to change the name to Chasing Rumour. Will Gary´s team be strong enough to take the title from Chris Elmore?
I can see three other teams coming close to them: Dream Team FC, Lowes A and A.C.Upstreet all can do a good job challenging for the title. Some other experient teams that will finish in mid table and we another promoted that can challange to do big things. Mr. Davo from Australia has arrived to the top Conferences in this one, managing Real Kellyville. Whith his team improving season after season, lets see when he will get into the top 5. Lookout with Ramsgate Reds.

Conference 4
Kookaburra won last season in last games in a really close Conference. All the top 9 last season proved that they were top managers in the server, and it was not easy to take points from them.
Several of last season teams can challange the title again: Kickstart Utd, INTER STELLA D.C , KF PrIsHtInA-LiVe, Stoke CIty, C.D. Usagre and Liquidizers F.C.. Also RBT that just needs to improve his stats a little bit more.
Kookaburra said on the foruns that was going into holiday mode, so i guess he will have some trouble to be the champions again. I predict a new champ over here.
I call some attention from two of the promoted teams: Dalkeith FC and Gotham City. Both managed by experienced managers that arrived from other servers, and they are ready to join the party.

More previews soon.
