Not enough time to do reviews for all the divisions, but i will do from division 1.
Here´s the line-up for the coming season:
American Misfits (Larry)
17th FL1 ranking with 158 points
Last season 13th
5th Season on FL1
On his best days, Shaun is always a manager to battle for the win, but at the moment he is on the nightmare that is rebuilding all the team. 16 players with 1/2 SWC and more 4 to be replaced. The new players have not been stars but youngsters to be trained. Last season escaped relegation from FL1 and 8-1-1 by close, and this season he will be struggling a lot. Let´s see what he can do.
Anfield Rd Rangers (bignick)
1st in GL1 Ranking with 541 points
Last Season 1st
11th Season in FL1
3 Fl1 titles
The only team who played in this league for the past 10 seasons. In my opinion he is always the favorite number 1. 3 players entered in the team, another one to be replaced, but i think he will be amongst the top 3.
Arkansas Indians (badcrazy)
10th in FL1 ranking with 252 points
Promoted last season from FL2
5th Season in FL1
A comeback from a great manager after a couple of seasons in FL2. Like many, Eric have passed the same problem as many, that is rebuilding time, no new players have entered last season, no one to be replaced, that´s a sign that Arkansas is improving, and may get a place on top 8 easily.
SL Benfica (rockline)
Newcommer
The only newcommer for the current season. This team has been promoted since the Conferences, season after season. I would like to seen winning, not only because it would be a great record, but also because its me. Three new players have entered, another will do it soon, so i think Benfica will be strong enough to stay in division but not finishing in the top 8.
Biscuit Barrell (brian)
7th in FL1 ranking with 285 points
Last Season 4th
7th Season on FL1
1 FL1 title
Always a team to battle for the title. After two seasons not so good in other competitions, brian bring the 5th Conference 5 title for his cabinet, and gave a great challange in FL1 last season, finishing 4th.
No new players have entered last season, just one to enter in the near future, so it looks that he will be on top again.
Byron Park F.C. (fr3nchy)
12th in FL1 ranking with 237 points
2nd Place Last Season
6th Season in Fl1
Another of the best teams at the moment. After a fantastic season winning his conference, one major and a runner up place in a major, Frenchy will be battling again for all the titles possible. 4 new faces in the team, more two to come, will make the team not so stronger as it was, but enough good to have a good starting eleven.
Down and Dirty (smogger)
9th in FL1 Ranking with 259 points
8th place last season
8th Season in FL1
One of the oldest teams in the League, smogger have finished always close to the middle of the table. Three new players in the team, other two to be replaced soon.The only problem from smogger´s team is that he´s not buying star players, opting by youngsters to make future stars. May struggle a little bit, but will end out of relegation for sure.
FC Haag Utd (dk80)
8th in FL1 Ranking with 281 points
5th place last season
7th Season in FL1
2 titles
Considered the best team in the past 2 seasons, this team from Croatia has a bad start this one, in the league and ICC, where Dan is already out. But for sure that he will be in the battle for the title, to be the second team to win this league for the third time. 3 new players, more two to come, but the new entries have always been stars, so i think Dan will keep his team very competitive.
Floriana FC (spiteri)
16th in FL1 Ranking with 177 points
6th place last season
5th Season in FL1
1 win
Conference 4 champion, also a previous winner in this league, Spiteri has been rebuilding most of his team in the past seasons, and will to replace more 4 players very soon. Its difficult to predict about him cause he always does well, but if the stats are important he may struggle a lit bit, but i would say a top 8 finish.
Ghandis Peace Corp (ghandi_lane)
32 in the Fl1 ranking with 44 points
12th place last season
3th Season in FL1
Andrew managed to escape relegation last season by just 2 points. 4 players entered in the team, more two to enter this season, but now it will be a question of time to see the team improving in stats. New entries have been far from stars, so i think this will envolve Andrew in the battle for relegation...unless...
HarriCam Wanderers (billyirwin)
2nd in Fl1 ranking with 433 points
3rd place last season
10th season in Fl1
Second oldest team in this league. Never won any, but several times have been close. Very strong team, just one new entry and another to come soon, makes Billy once again one the favorites. Will it be this time, Billy?
Heroes of the Man (sharald)
24th in FL1 ranking with 82 points
11th place last season
4th Season in FL1
Coming from the cold lands of Norway is Lars. Another team that battle last season to escape relegation, doing it in the end just by 2 points. 7 new players have joined the team and some of them are no stars, so i believe Sharald will be struggling a lot to escape from the last three places.
Hollowlegs (crazyfingers)
20th in the Fl1 ranking with 123 points
7th place last season
4th Season in Fl1
Conference 1 champion last season, and also a top 8 finisher on this league.I believe this time will be much different. 3 new players have already entered, more 7 are going to be in the current season. I believe David will struggle a little bit, lets see oif he stays in the league.
Jedi Knights (cydonianpyramid)
30th in Fl1 raking with 54 points
10th place last season
3rd Season in Fl1
Had a terrible start last season, at mid season was almost relegated, but the second half was brilliant. This time i believe he will have a much more calm season. The team is very good in stats, also no more players leaving soon, so i´m betting to see him finishing in the half.
The Rods (unz7)
5th in FL1 Ranking with 346 points
9th place last Season
9th Season in Fl1
1 win
Wherever Rods is, its always a good bet to win. Currently have replaced several players, but the newcommers have always been starts, so i would say, a place in the top 8? or a little bit more?
The Rumour Mill (the Blade)
27th in FL1 ranking with 60 points
Promoted from FL2 last season
3rd Season in FL1
The Rumour Mill is back to the highest level of the Friendly League after 8 seasons in the lower leagues. Several players on the last season, but a very strong team in stats. I would say that he will be out of relegation for sure.
