The Fekadu Financial Power Index - Part III
Authored by Dr. Sololeya Fekadu, Dean of the College of Sports Studies at Northern Moravica University

Hello again! And I am back here to bring you part III of the Financial Power Index, developed here at Northern Moravica University (Banija).

Today, we’re going to focus on the individuals, rather than associations or teams. Which players(or managers) have dominated the transfer markets? Who, historically, are the wealthiest transfers of all-time? What is the bar? Who is the bar?

We’re going to go through this, in depth. First, we’re going to go through the wealthiest international transfers of the last three windows. That’s right- a comprehensive list of every player who sold for at least $25 million NSDs in the last three windows. A total of 12 people hit that mark. We’ll talk about their abilities, why they went for so much, and their value to their clubs.

And then, secondly, we’re going to the only part of the project that goes even further back. Who is the most expensive player of all time? We’re going to talk about the 14 players, since Transfer Window 1, who have sold for at least $50 million NSDs. What is the most valuable transfer of all time? Can anyone coming forward even sniff that mark?

Now, of course, as with Parts I and II, we cannot, unfortunately, provide an analysis of all 26 transfers on this list. The ability to go back, when we have transfers all the way from the 4th window on this list, and give an analysis is quite limited(give to NMU!)

So, in that interest, we are going to give an analysis for the Top 12 transfers of the last three windows. We will not give an individual analysis for the $50 million dollar players- but they will be listed, and we will give an overall analysis of that list.

And without further ado…

Top 12 Transfers of the Last Three Windows
All financials in NSDs.

#11: D C Manolo Cesar Chavez(AUD). Price: $25 million. Selling Team: KT Itzalovalle(AUD). Buying Team: Mar Sara FC(VAL). Transfer Window 22.

The first $25 million man we will talk about, he was sold as a consequence of his club’s relegation in the Audioslavian pyramid. The bidding war over who would get to benefit from his services was strong. He was the subject of a bidding war in the 22nd transfer window. The asking price from the Audioslavian club was $18 million NSDs, and both the Sabrefell Moths, of Nephara, and Langtree United, of Mercedini, met that price. However, that was not the entirety of the bidding war.

Old Birmingham City, from Velestria(then Razenthuria), put out a large $21 million bid for this talented, young defender. But it was the Vanorian club who would step up and blow them out of the water. They offered a staggering bid of $25 million dollars, and at that point, what was the question? They had blown every bid out of the water. That give KT Itzalovalle quite a bit of money to work to try and work their way back up the Audioslavian pyramid. How has it worked out? Well, he is a talented defender for the Vanorians, but he, now 25, has not been able to break onto his national team’s preferred starting XI, though there is still plenty of time for the defender who is just about to enter his prime.

#11: F Claudio Romano(PAS). Price: $25 million. Selling Team: AZ Izotz Zubia(AUD). Buying Team: Sabrefell Moths(NPH). Transfer Window 22.

Claudio Romano, the Pasargan star striker, was just 25 years old when he hit the market- a man about to enter his prime. The asking price for him was set at $25 million, which is certainly a high bar. But for a man of his talents, for a man of his playmaking and striking ability? He was always going to fetch the asking price, even if few teams could meet it. It was the Moths who set the bar, bidding at that asking price. A Velestrian club(then Razenthurian) came in later, bidding a shocking $36 million dollars. While AZ Izotz Zubia, of course, accepted that bid, Romano would not go to Velestria, not wanting to go to that upstart league.

Romano then signed with the Sabrefell Moths. Was the move successful? It would be hard to argue that it wasn’t. Romano is at the center of their attack, and he is a man who scored 28 league goals just last season in the Nepharim Premiership. While dominant at the club level, he is not in the starting XI for his national team, coming off the bench for a stacked Pasarga side. Still- almost every nation in the world would be lucky to have him, and the talented striker surely has years left to break into the Pasargan starting XI.

#9: ST Alexander Karpaty(PAS). Price: $30 million. Selling Team: Mallox(COS). Buying Team: Crawford City(COS). Transfer Window 23

The only same nation transfer on this list. Alexander Karpaty, the Pasargan striker, being sold from Mallox to Crawford City within Cosumar. He is the one who has the second starting spot up top for the Pasarga national team, ahead of his national compatriot just behind him on this list.

The move seems to have paid off for Crawford City. First season at Crawford City, and his side ended up winning the league title in Cosumar. Cannot complain about that, right? And the man, now in his prime for Pasarga, is going to be expected to do big things for both club and country. He has a large responsibility on his shoulders, and it shows in the number of dollars Crawford City was willing to shell out.

#9: CF Dean Sharp(EUR). Price: $30 millon. Selling Team: Directus(EUR). Buying Team: 1830 Cathair(AUD). Transfer Window 24.

Dean Sharp is leaving home, and hitting new pastures. The Euran center forward, tipped by many to be a budding star, was sold after another, even bigger money transfer to have a new strike partner for Martel-Burns. That player, of course, is named later in this list. This was a quality move for both sides- with Sharp being sold to make room for another striker, he will still be able to get playing time, and most importantly, stake his claim to be a Euran international, one of the toughest countries in the multiverse to have the privilege of wearing the jersey.

#7: LW/ST Brian Bond(EUR). Price: $32 million. Selling Team: Oakstone(EUR). Buying Team: Eastweald(COS). Transfer Window 23

Another Euran on this list. But instead of coming back to his home country, he decided to leave his homeland for greener pastures. The pastures, specifically, of Cosumar. Eastweald is one of the wealthiest, most historic teams in Cosumar, and the player certainly has the talent to perform in a league as tough as Cosumar’s however. Though, of course, it helps, when you come from a league like Eura’s.

The player is being tipped as one with true superstar potential. He is a physical wonder, who is strong and fast, while technically still very capable. That rare combination, especially coming up in a youth system as grueling as Eura’s, means he’s going to go on and do special things at both the club and international level. We’ll see what kind of impact he has in Eastweald over the long haul, and weather or not he can help the club fulfill their ambitions.
#7: ST Wilfriend Baume(VLD). Price: $32 million. Selling Team: Fontvielle Impact(VLD). Buying Team: AC Izotz Zubia(AUD). Transer Window 24.

The highly sought after striker from Valladares, just 25 years old, was the subject of a bidding war this transfer window. And after World Cup Qualifying and Finals are over, Baume will be taking a flight to Audioslavia, to paly for AC Izotz Zubia, one of the multiverse’s more ambitious clubs.

There was a major bidding war for the services of Baume. His list price was $25 million, and there was at least 5 bids for the player. First, of course, the Dwile Warriors, from Apox, came in with a $22 million dollar bid- which was flatly rejected by the Impact. And then, the club that ended up with him bid $25 million, the asking price- and yet, that was rejected by the Impact, who sensed that they could fetch even more than the list price. And then the Euran club, Ulsa, bid $27 million ,while the Dwile Warriors, from Apox, came back with a $31 million dollar bid. But it was AC Izotz Zubia who would win this tug of war in the end, landing the highest bid at $32 million for his services.

And that has a chance of being money well spent. Just 25 years old, Baume has been dominant in Liga-1. Led the league in scoring three times, won the Silver Ball twice, and won the Golden Ball twice as well. And now, has cashed in on his considerable talents with the Audioslavian side. We’ll see if he can continue to perform at such a high level in Audioslavia, as he continues to make the climb up the ladder.

#6: ST Estrella Hawke(NPH). Price: $37.5 million. Selling Team: Sabrefell Athletic(NPH). Buying Team: Directus(EUR). Transfer Window 24.

A transfer between the multiverse’s two wealthiest associations- the Nephara international, Estrella Hawke, selling for $37.5 million dollars to Directus, of Eura. The second of two big money transfers at the position for the Euran club, Hawke is known by many as a very talented striker at a very good club- Sabrefell Athletic. Was Hawke sold to make room for an even bigger name, down the list? Who knows? But here’s what we do know- the pundits are saying that she might be known as Nephara’s best striker ever, which is quite the accolades to be levelling.

She has been valued at quite a high price, and now she will have the opportunity to make a name for herself at one of Eura’s biggest clubs. The move abroad, and the pairing with Martel-Burns, means that there will not be any shortage of goals for Directus, as they compete to win a trophy after two straight second place finishes in the league. If Hawke can rise to the occasion here, in Eura, then maybe she can make the club from her home country regret selling her.

#5: RW Luis Silva(DRP). Price: $38 million. Selling Team: Sporting CD(DRP). Buying Team: AC 317 Roses(VLZ). Transfer Window 24

And now, for Luis Silva. Easily the only person on this list who is from a nation that is traditionally considered a minnow, he made a big money transfer to another nation that is not considered large in this sport- VElestria. Of course, Velestria is making a rapid climb up the table, and it is big money transfers like this, to get an influx of talent, that will be able to put them on the map, and quickly.

The Dreamplanet winger was captain for both club and country, and that says a lot about him as a person, and as a leader. AC 317 Roses are easily Velestria’s biggest side, and this move should be able to work out for both sides. Many question why this purchase was valued so high- Silva worth more than Hawke. But in sports, a feeling of disrespect is a powerful motivator. Expect Silva to come out with lots of motivation next season, to prove his worth of $38 million dollars.

#4: ST Corinne Martel-Burns(SCT). Price: $40 million. Selling Team: Tihon Tide(CMT). Buying Team: Directus(EUR). $40 million. Transfer Window 22.

Corinne Martel-Burns was a talented Schottian striker. Then at age 25, like many others on this list, she was entering her prime. And think about it like this- the year before, when she was 24 years old, she was a starter on one of the most dominant teams the multiverse has seen in a long time- the champions of World Cup 79, Schottia. As a striker on that team, she was always destined to be a star.

Not only was she a player on that team, not just a starter, but a superstar. She scored twice in the World Cup 79 Final, including the game winning goal, late in regulation, to put win the World Cup. How more clutch can you get? Nobody’s asking how she got onto this list. Forever a legend in Schottia for her contributions wearing the jersey, she sold for $40 million NSDs to Directus, of Eura, in the 22nd window. She has been stellar at Directus, with 45 league goals in Eura over the last two seasons, and solid success for the Euran giants, with two second place finishes in the league. However, it is looking likely that she’ll now be given an even more powerful partner in a strike pair, with Estrella Hawke on her way to Eura. That makes the club one of the most powerful, at least up front, in the multiverse. Will they lead Directus to a trophy?

#2: F C Desya Kuznetsov(AUD). Price: $50 million. Selling Team: Cazadores Cathair(AUD). Buying Team: Brinemouth(NPH). Transfer Window 23.

The player, priced at $45 million dollars, who sold for an incredible $50 million, now has one season under their belt at one of the world’s biggest clubs, Brinemouth. The Nepharim club had dropped an incredible $50 million dollars on this player in the 23rd transfer window, and even with this massive splash of cash, they weren’t done for the window. Keep reading along, however, we certainly have not mentioned the last of Brinemouth in this index.

Now, many of you might say- how can a player be worth $50 million dollars? Well, it’s hard to argue Kuznetsov’s first season was anything but a complete and total success. Not only did Kuznetsov help lead Brinemouth to the league title, Kutnetsov led the Nepharim Premiership with a staggering 40 league goals- scoring at a rate of .87 goals per game. That was 12 more goals than the #2 goalscorer, Estrella Hawke. An absolutely dominant season made Kuznetsov worth every penny, and this investment looks like it’s certain to pay off for the long-term.

#2: ST Sipke Tarala(VIL). Price: $50 million. Selling Team: Lonngeylin Coast(VIL). Buying Team: Sabrefell Athletic(NPH). Transfer Window 24.

Like the aforementioned Martel-Burns, the Schottian striker, Tarala is a superstar international for the Vilitan national team. Tarala has done something that only a handful of players have done over the course of their international careers- have multiple World Cup trophies. Now, as for me, I’m not sure which individual has the most World Cup trophies. Di Bradini, of Starblaydia, would be my best guess? Regardless, the supremely talented player was the top goalscorer for the World champions at World Cup 81, firing Vilita to a trophy.

Tarala has won all kinds of trophies in Vilita, winning a combined 5 club trophies, and being named the Vilitan League player of the year four times, as well as leading the league in goalscoring four times. Dominance- and now, the two-time World Cup champion has made the big money move to Sabrefell Athletic. The other Sabrefell side is looking to be ambitious, and a big money signing like this shows that they are serious about bringing trophies to Sabrefell. We’ll have to wait and see if this can be a success.

#1: RW Bryger Tidesson(COS). Price: $65 million. Selling Team: Real Azuris(COS). Buying Team: Brinemouth(NPH). Transfer Window 23.

The most expensive transfer of the past three windows. The Cosumarite superstar, Bryger Tidesson, is widely hailed in Cosumar, and he has an incredible weight on his shoulders- it is a responsibility to be the largest signing of your era, and that role falls to Tidesson. He, of course, comes from a family where 5 children, including himself, are all playing the sport professionally. Imagine meeting them, and when you ask about their kids. Pretty good parenting job, if you ask me.

Regardless, let’s focus back on the man of the hour. Banijan fans will remember Tidesson breaking Banijan hearts at the AOCAF LVII, when he scored the lone goal of that Banija v. Cosumar quarterfinal. Tidesson is a star player, and is so deadly at feeding the ball to Kuznetsov- it’s no wonder this Brinemouth spending spree was a wild success. Is he overshadowed by Kuznetsov? They both made the XI of the year, but it was Kuznetsov who led the lead in goals, and Kuznetsov who won the Iron Ball, and the Iron First- the Nepharim Premiership’s awards for Player of the Year, and League Debutant of the Year.

Brinemouth is basking in the glow of winning the league, of course, so there aren’t going to be complaints about roster building. But who was the better buy- Tidesson, or Kuznetsov? Or is it too early to tell? I’m sure we’ll see this debate rehashed over the coming years as the two players continue to play together for the same club.

#1: AMC Laborious Hawk(VAL). Price: $101 million. Selling Team: Dwile Warriors(APX). Buying Team: AC Izotz Zubia(AUD). Transfer Window 14.

Thoughts of Dr. Fekadu

Thought #1- Val Kylx- well before my time, is on this list twice. Val Kylx had an interesting career, clearly. Sold for $65 million dollars in the 4th window- but as a coach. And then, he resurrected his playing career after a period coaching, and sold for over $90 million dollars to Manechester City. What a talent.

Thought #2- Valrauncion is the second player to appear on this list twice. The elf from Krytenia sold for $82.5 million in the 11th transfer window- one of the wealthiest transfers of all time. And then, a shocking ten windows later, Valrauncion sold again, but this time, for $99.9 million dollars- just $100,000 short of being the second $100 million dollar player of all time.

Thought #3- AC Izotz Zubia, of Audioslavia, is a historic big money spender. They are responsible for the two wealthiest transfers of all time- $99.9 million on the aforementioned Valrauncion. And, of course, $101 million dollars on Laborious Hawk, from Valanora. Laborious Hawk, of course, is the only player in the history of the window, valued at 9 figures. What a record, right?

Thank you for joining us for part III of this index! The final part of the index is on its way- we will be ranking the top 20 wealthiest clubs in the multiverse. Which clubs has the most firepower? Come back, and you’ll find out.

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XIV - PART THREE

MATCHDAY 20
Avidia United smell a title, and as the second half of the season gets rolling, they submit further proof of their credentials with a thumping win over local rivals Avides. Emberton Reds, meanwhile, keep pace with the leaders after completing the double over Ousevale at the Southern Arena.

Results:
New Cefn Albion 2-0 Leston Town
Ousevale Borough 2-4 Emberton Reds
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Caledon Simpson
Adanac City 1-5 Mercia Bromham
Royal Emberton 0-1 Caversham
Stanton Town 1-1 Avidia City
Ashton Olympic 3-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Bradwell Saints 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Avidia United 8-1 CF Avides
NSE Kovenham 3-1 Beckton Supermarine

MATCHDAY 21
The Eagles get a bit of breathing space at the top as the Reds drop the ball and two points against Adanac "Just Here For The Beer" City - which, if nothing else, lifts the Hockanucks off the foot of the table. The still-undefeated Mercia sneak into second after a nervy win at home to Stanton, though a full five points behind the leaders.

Results:
Leston Town 2-5 Ousevale Borough
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Casuals Osteria
Emberton Reds 1-1 Adanac City
Caledon Simpson 0-0 Royal Emberton
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Stanton Town
Caversham 0-2 Ashton Olympic
Avidia City 3-2 Bradwell Saints
Locomotive Wolverton 0-2 Avidia United
Notegia Rangers 2-0 NSE Kovenham
CF Avides 1-2 Beckton Supermarine

MATCHDAY 22
Well, it had to happen. No sooner do we mention Mercia's unbeaten record, than they lose said record. It's Bradwell doing the damage, attempting to prove to the rest of the O-League that yes, they are still relevant. Emberton grab second spot back with an effortless win over Stanton, whilst the leaders make hard work of a win over Caversham to remain top.

Results:
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Leston Town
Adanac City 0-1 Ousevale Borough
Royal Emberton 2-1 New Cefn Albion
Stanton Town 0-4 Emberton Reds
Ashton Olympic 0-2 Caledon Simpson
Bradwell Saints 6-4 Mercia Bromham
Avidia United 1-0 Caversham
NSE Kovenham 1-1 Avidia City
Beckton Supermarine 2-0 Locomotive Wolverton
CF Avides 0-0 Notegia Rangers

MATCHDAY 23
A rather dull week at the top as the top five all win. Loco's victory over Notegia, though, makes life interesting at the bottom, as they go from the foot of the table to eighteenth, just three points from safety.

Results:
Leston Town 1-1 Adanac City
Casuals Osteria 2-2 Royal Emberton
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Stanton Town
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Ashton Olympic
Emberton Reds 3-0 Bradwell Saints
Caledon Simpson 0-2 Avidia United
Mercia Bromham 3-0 NSE Kovenham
Caversham 0-1 Beckton Supermarine
Avidia City 1-1 CF Avides
Locomotive Wolverton 1-0 Notegia Rangers

MATCHDAY 24
The pressure is increasing at the top of the table - now the question is simpy who blinks first. Perhaps that's why United and Mercia both sputtered to wins over lesser opponents. Probably the most composed performance of the week actually fell to Ashton Olympic; the Bears may be nine points off the lead and at best on the periphery of the title race, but a Globe Cup place is not beyond them judging by their win over Casuals.

Results:
Royal Emberton 1-1 Leston Town
Stanton Town 1-0 Adanac City
Ashton Olympic 3-0 Casuals Osteria
Bradwell Saints 4-6 Ousevale Borough
Avidia United 1-0 New Cefn Albion
NSE Kovenham 0-2 Emberton Reds
Beckton Supermarine 3-1 Caledon Simpson
CF Avides 0-1 Mercia Bromham
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Caversham
Locomotive Wolverton 1-2 Avidia City

KFA CUP ROUND FOUR
Brave performances abound, but we're guaranteed a winner from the Premier this season. Rickenford were simply outclassed by Ousevale, Bromham couldn't match the Royals, and whilst Diorville and Yardley Forest both battled past the ninety, in the end neither could quite make it over the line.

On the other side of that, Ashton probably took a fair amount of joy out of denying the league leaders a shot at the double.

Casuals Osteria 2-1 Penniton United
Ashton Olympic 2-1 Avidia United
Royal Emberton 3-0 Bromham City
Avidia City 1-2 Caledon Simpson
Ousevale Borough 4-0 Rickenford
Yardley Forest 2-2 New Cefn Albion (2-2 AET, 3-5 PKs)
Mercia Bromham 3-0 Caversham
Diorville 2-2 Locomotive Wolverton (2-3 AET)

MATCHDAY 25
Ousevale, Mercia, and the Reds are barely even made to break a sweat as they all record comfortable victories. The same, however, cannot be said of United, who are pushed all the way by Casuals.

The Eagles are wobbling; they're just not falling down. Yet.

Results:
Leston Town 1-0 Stanton Town
Royal Emberton 2-3 Ashton Olympic
Adanac City 2-1 Bradwell Saints
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Avidia United
Ousevale Borough 6-1 NSE Kovenham
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Beckton Supermarine
Emberton Reds 6-1 CF Avides
Caledon Simpson 2-1 Notegia Rangers
Mercia Bromham 4-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Caversham 2-1 Avidia City

MATCHDAY 26
Aaaaaand thud. Avidia drop three points almost on cue, and we have the odd situation of the Royals doing their rivals a favour. Emberton sneak past Loco to go just two points behind, Ousevale humiliate Avides to keep pace, and it's now Ashton in fourth as Mercia can only draw with fourteenth-placed Caversham.

Results:
Ashton Olympic 3-1 Leston Town
Bradwell Saints 0-0 Stanton Town
Avidia United 2-4 Royal Emberton
NSE Kovenham 1-1 Adanac City
Beckton Supermarine 1-3 Casuals Osteria
CF Avides 1-7 Ousevale Borough
Notegia Rangers 1-0 New Cefn Albion
Locomotive Wolverton 0-1 Emberton Reds
Avidia City 1-4 Caledon Simpson
Caversham 2-2 Mercia Bromham

MATCHDAY 27
Ashton had the prfect opportunity to put themselves right in the title race at home to leaders Avidia United.

They, of course, blew it.

They weren't the only ones, either, as Caversham defied their league placing for the second week in a row to steal a point from the Reds, allowing Ousevale to move into second place.

Results:
Leston Town 0-1 Bradwell Saints
Ashton Olympic 0-2 Avidia United
Stanton Town 3-1 NSE Kovenham
Royal Emberton 1-1 Beckton Supermarine
Adanac City 1-4 CF Avides
Casuals Osteria 2-0 Notegia Rangers
Ousevale Borough 5-0 Locomotive Wolverton
New Cefn Albion 1-1 Avidia City
Emberton Reds 0-0 Caversham
Caledon Simpson 1-0 Mercia Bromham

MATCHDAY 28
We've not mentioned Leston Town much this season, which is a shame. They're a well-run club with a good work ethic and a relatively small but passionate fanbase. They're also fifteenth in the league, so it was rather a surprise when they went up to the New City Stadium and came back with a full compliment of points.

With the Reds also dropping points, everything's coming up Ousevale as they break the Caversham Curse and cut the Eagles' lead to a solitary point.

Results:
Avidia United 0-1 Leston Town
NSE Kovenham 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Beckton Supermarine 0-0 Ashton Olympic
CF Avides 0-1 Stanton Town
Notegia Rangers 0-1 Royal Emberton
Locomotive Wolverton 2-1 Adanac City
Avidia City 0-1 Casuals Osteria
Caversham 1-4 Ousevale Borough
Mercia Bromham 3-0 New Cefn Albion
Caledon Simpson 0-0 Emberton Reds

MATCHDAY 29
Squeaky bum time approaches as we pass the three-quarter mark for the season. Avidia United bounce back with a win, but the pressure is still on as not only do Ousevale do the same, so do the Reds. The race is tight at the bottom, with five sides in realistic peril. Adanac helped their cause there, as they were the only team in the dogfight to actually win.

Results:
Leston Town 1-1 NSE Kovenham
Avidia United 3-0 Beckton Supermarine
Bradwell Saints 0-0 CF Avides
Ashton Olympic 3-0 Notegia Rangers
Stanton Town 2-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Royal Emberton 2-1 Avidia City
Adanac City 1-0 Caversham
Casuals Osteria 0-4 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 4-1 Caledon Simpson
New Cefn Albion 0-2 Emberton Reds

Seraxinbourghian Football Leagues Season 2:

Introduction:
After the end of Season 1, the Seraxinbourghian Head of Football announced that the number of clubs in the Seraxinbourghian football pyramid would not change for Season 2 but for Season 3 the league system is in talks in order to introduce 816 teams and make "major changes" to the leagues format.

First of all, and arguably most importantly, the domestic football season will be split into 2 parts: The State Leagues, which will run from week 1 to week 12 with the 128 team National Cup compromising of the winner of each state league running from week 13 to week 18, as well as the National Leagues, which would run from either week 17 or week 18 (depending on what league the team is in as well as how far they progressed in the National Cup) in a season until the beginning of the offseason.

To accommodate this change, the National League will also change its system to the format mentioned below:
SNPL - 40 teams (40 games) - 4 Qualify for International Football/4 Relegated
National A - 37 teams (36 games) - 4 Promoted (1 via Playoffs whilst the other 3 qualify for the SBCC)/4 Relegated
National B - 34 teams (34 games) - 4 Promoted/4 Relegated
National C - 31 teams (32 games) - 4 Promoted/4 Relegated
National D - 28 teams (28 games) - 4 Promoted/4 Lose their Professional License
League 1 - 8 leagues of 14 teams each (26 games)
League 2 - 16 leagues of 20 teams each (20 games)
League 3 - 32 leagues of 10 teams each (18 games)
League 4 - 64 leagues of 3 teams each (12 games)
Amateur Cup - 756 teams (1 to 18 games each)

To transform the league into this structure, only 1 team will be relegated from the SNPL this season whilst 13 teams will be promoted from Division 1 to SNPL and 3 teams will be relegated to the third tier, which will send 12 teams to National A and only 3 teams to the fourth tier which will send 10 teams to the National B and 7 teams to the fifth tier which will send 9 teams to National C whilst 12 teams will lose their spot in the top 5 tiers and will be replaced by 4 Division 5 teams plus the 4 additional teams who obtain the Professional Licence.

There is also a proposal to expand tiers 2 to 5 by adding 1 additional team into National A, 2 additional teams into National B, 3 into National C and 4 into National D which, should it be approved, will be implemented for Season 5 with Season 4 being used to alter the number of teams in each league to what they need to be for Season 5

Professional License:
At the start of every National League season, 170 teams will be given a Professional Licence, giving them the right to play in one of the top 5 leagues in Seraxinbourgh. The 170 teams with the Professional Licence will compromise of the 166 teams who retain their Professional Licence from last season as well as the 4 teams with the best coefficients (points awarded to clubs based on how well they have done in their State League, the National Cup (if they competed in it) and their National League) that are not 1 of the 166 teams to retain their Professional Licence and meet the requirements to play in National D, which are:

A bank balance of at least 175,000 Warajas**
A stadium with a capacity of at least 5,000 spectators
At least 60% of the capacity must be compromised of seats**
An all seater away end with a capacity of at least 1,500 people but does not take up more than a third of the stadium's capacity
A roof over at least 90% of the capacity of the stadium and at least 90% of the capacity of the away end**
All players are guaranteed to be paid at least 150,000 Warajas per year once the season has started for as long as they play in the top 5 tiers
Equipment* certified C+ or higher
Pitch Quality certified C+ or higher
Changing Rooms certified C or higher
Food Stalls certified C- or higher
Floodlights certified C- or higher
Media Room/Suite certified D+ or higher
A hygiene rating of a D+ or higher
Bathrooms certified D or higher
Dugouts certified E+ or higher

*Equipment refers to things such as the corner flags and the goalposts
**Not a necessity if the team reached the Semi-Finals of the National Cup.

Due to only 1 team being relegated from the SNPL this season, if the team who wins the National Cup finished last in the SNPL then the relegation spot will instead be given to the team who finished 27th.

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XIV - PART THREE

MATCHDAY 30
Have you ever had one of those days where everything just seems to go right for you?

Avidia United have.

The Eagles' routine win over Notegia was a good start; the fact that the only other teams in the top half to actually win at the weekend were in seventh and eighth place was even better. They probably owe New Cefn a case of Draig lager after that one.

Results:
Beckton Supermarine 1-1 Leston Town
CF Avides 1-1 NSE Kovenham
Notegia Rangers 0-2 Avidia United
Locomotive Wolverton 2-3 Bradwell Saints
Avidia City 4-2 Ashton Olympic
Caversham 2-0 Stanton Town
Mercia Bromham 1-1 Royal Emberton
Caledon Simpson 0-1 Adanac City
Emberton Reds 2-3 Casuals Osteria
New Cefn Albion 2-1 Ousevale Borough

KFA CUP QUARTER FINALS
It's looking for all the world like an all-Mercian final - provided they manage to avoid each other in the semis, of course. Both Ousevale and Mercia swept aside strong opposition to advance. For Caledon and Royal Emberton, meanwhile, this now represents their best chance at a Globe Cup spot.

Ousevale Borough 3-0 Ashton Olympic
New Cefn Albion 0-2 Caledon Simpson
Locomotive Wolverton 1-3 Royal Emberton
Mercia Bromham 4-0 Casuals Osteria

MATCHDAY 31
The Capital and Second City derbies took up all the headlines, with United and the Reds both beating their local rivals. The match at New Coalfields was almost an afterthought, and that word perfectly describes Ousevale's title charge after they were beaten by Casuals. Emberton Reds' win means they leapfrog the Tigers into second place, six points behind Avidia.

Results:
Leston Town 0-1 CF Avides
Beckton Supermarine 3-0 Notegia Rangers
NSE Kovenham 1-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Avidia United 3-1 Avidia City
Bradwell Saints 2-2 Caversham
Ashton Olympic 3-0 Mercia Bromham
Stanton Town 0-3 Caledon Simpson
Royal Emberton 0-2 Emberton Reds
Adanac City 2-0 New Cefn Albion
Casuals Osteria 1-0 Ousevale Borough

MATCHDAY 32
Mercia Bromham: doing their rivals a favour for once. The Midlanders took down the league leaders at the Cygnus, allowing Ousevale to narrow the gap with a win over Royal Emberton. The Reds, meanwhile, failed to capitalise as they were mauled by the Bears on home turf. Ashton may be coming into form a little too late for a title charge, but they're only two points behind Emberton who hold a Globe Cup berth. That win might just be a tipping point in the race for third.

Results:
Notegia Rangers 0-2 Leston Town
Locomotive Wolverton 1-0 CF Avides
Avidia City 2-1 Beckton Supermarine
Caversham 4-0 NSE Kovenham
Mercia Bromham 2-1 Avidia United
Caledon Simpson 2-1 Bradwell Saints
Emberton Reds 1-5 Ashton Olympic
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Stanton Town
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Royal Emberton
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Adanac City

MATCHDAY 33
First versus third and second versus fourth both result in wins for the title chasers over their potential banana skins. Mercia, meanwhile, dance through the carnage and sneak into third courtesy of a close-fought three points at Orange Street.

At the bottom, meanwhile, the trap door is edging ever nearer to Wolverton and Kovenham after their latest defeats.

Results:
Leston Town 2-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Avidia City
CF Avides 0-0 Caversham
Beckton Supermarine 0-1 Mercia Bromham
NSE Kovenham 2-3 Caledon Simpson
Avidia United 5-2 Emberton Reds
Bradwell Saints 0-1 New Cefn Albion
Ashton Olympic 0-2 Ousevale Borough
Stanton Town 0-2 Casuals Osteria
Royal Emberton 1-1 Adanac City

MATCHDAY 24
Ousevale came out at the Southern Arena knowing this was their chance to close in on their tital rivals, continue their inexorable rise to the summit, and bore neutrals everywhere.

Sadly for them, nobody told United that, and the Eagles all but secured the title with a glorious away win. Ousevale will now be looking over their shoulders, as Mercia and Ashton both won to keep themselves in the hunt for a Globe Cup spot.

Results:
Avidia City 0-1 Leston Town
Caversham 1-1 Locomotive Wolverton
Mercia Bromham 2-0 Notegia Rangers
Caledon Simpson 4-1 CF Avides
Emberton Reds 0-0 Beckton Supermarine
New Cefn Albion 0-0 NSE Kovenham
Ousevale Borough 0-1 Avidia United
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Bradwell Saints
Adanac City 0-2 Ashton Olympic
Royal Emberton 1-0 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 35
As the end of the season draws ever closer, the race for third place is the one that looks the most interesting. Mercia mad an absolute hash of it against Avidia City, and that meant Emberton Reds and Ashton Olympic drawing level on points with the Midlanders.

Thigs are getting interesting in the relegation dogfight, too. Locomotive Wolverton looked dead in the water two weeks ago, but four points in two games has lifted them to within five of safety. They would have probably preferred it if Mercia had picked up all three points, though, considering City are the team on the bubble.

Results:
Leston Town 2-1 Caversham
Avidia City 1-1 Mercia Bromham
Locomotive Wolverton 2-1 Caledon Simpson
Notegia Rangers 0-1 Emberton Reds
CF Avides 1-1 New Cefn Albion
Beckton Supermarine 0-4 Ousevale Borough
NSE Kovenham 0-6 Casuals Osteria
Avidia United 3-0 Adanac City
Bradwell Saints 1-4 Royal Emberton
Ashton Olympic 2-0 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 36
Stick a fork in this one; it's done. Avidia United secured the title, and ensured they'd be the first team to lift the brand new Gabriel Kennedy Trophy, courtesy of a rampant display in Stanton.

Speaking of done, Kovenham disappear into the depths with a whimper, conceding six against the Royals.

Results:
Mercia Bromham 2-0 Leston Town
Caledon Simpson 1-0 Caversham
Emberton Reds 3-1 Avidia City
New Cefn Albion 0-1 Locomotive Wolverton
Ousevale Borough 3-0 Notegia Rangers
Casuals Osteria 6-1 CF Avides
Adanac City 1-0 Beckton Supermarine
Royal Emberton 6-1 NSE Kovenham - - NSE Kovenham are relegated
Stanton Town 0-3 Avidia United - Avidia United are champions
Ashton Olympic 0-2 Bradwell Saints

KFA CUP QUARTER FINALS
The first game at the New City Stadium since the Eagles secured the title...doesn't inlcude them. Instead it's Ousevale outlasting the Caleys to ensure their place in the KFA Cup final.

Their opponents? Who else but their old rivals Mercia Bromham, who eased past the Royals at The Mound.

Caledon Simpson 1-2 Ousevale Borough (@ New City Stadium, Avidia)
Mercia Bromham 3-2 Royal Emberton (@ The Mound, Secklow)

MATCHDAY 37
Ousevale's shock draw with Avidia City has repercussions at both ends of the table. It secures Ousevale a Globe Cup spot regardless of what happens in the cup, and it also helps secure Adanac's survival. The Hockanucks, of course, helped themselves in that regard with victory in Tyfield.

Not so lucky, though, are Locomotive Wolverton, who couldn't dig up the three points they needed at home to Casuals, and will be joining Kovenham in Division One next season. The third team will definitely be from the Second Ciy; whether it's City or CFA, though, remains to be seen.

Results:
Leston Town 1-0 Caledon Simpson
Mercia Bromham 0-0 Emberton Reds
Caversham 2-1 New Cefn Albion
Avidia City 2-2 Ousevale Borough
Locomotive Wolverton 1-3 Casuals Osteria - Locomotive Wolverton are relegated
Notegia Rangers 1-2 Adanac City
CF Avides 0-4 Royal Emberton
Beckton Supermarine 1-1 Stanton Town
NSE Kovenham 0-3 Ashton Olympic
Avidia United 5-1 Bradwell Saints

MATCHDAY 28
And so, to season's end; and the worst place to be on the final day was definitely the Rutian Grounds. The draw between the two sides meant that Ashton missed out on Globe Cup football, and with rivals City beating Adanac, it also relegates Los Pomodoros.

The Globe Cup race, meanwhile took a bizarre turn. Ashton's draw, and Emberton's surprise defeate at home to Leston - who'll be ecstatic with a top half finish - meant that Mercia took third place despite getting annihilated by Ousevale. Not the best dress rehearsal for the KFA Cup final, there. It also means that Emberton Reds get a Globe Cup space by default, with the other two qualifiers for that competition being the cup finalists.

Results:
Emberton Reds 0-1 Leston Town
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Caledon Simpson
Ousevale Borough 4-1 Mercia Bromham
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Caversham
Adanac City 0-2 Avidia City
Royal Emberton 3-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Stanton Town 0-1 Notegia Rangers
Ashton Olympic 1-1 CF Avides
Bradwell Saints 0-1 Beckton Supermarine
Avidia United 2-0 NSE Kovenham

KFA CUP FINAL
It's not the dress rehearsal, it's the live performance that counts. Mercia Bromham hold their nerve in the shoot-out to lift the Cup.

Result (@ Isserson Stadium, Emberton):
Ousevale Borough 2-2 Mercia Bromham (3-3 AET, 1-3 PKs)

The Fekadu Financial Power Index - Part IV
Authored by Dr. Sololeya Fekadu, Dean of the College of Sports Studies at Northern Moravica University

Hello again! And I am back here to bring you part IV of the Financial Power Index, developed here at Northern Moravica University (Banija).

It is, indeed, the last part of the Financial Power Index. It is(in our minds, anyways) the most waited for part of the Financial Power Index- the richest clubs in the UICA! Of course, I'd invite you go to back to Part I of this index, which details the limitations we have in calculating who, exactly, is the richest club in the multiverse.

This measures, largely, the aggressiveness and willingness to spend of clubs on this list. This is a good measurement of spending on a club specific basis- how much have they spent in the last three windows, how aggressive they've been individually, and have the results panned out. This, I should say, was the favorite part of a number of my students- even though, unsurprsingly, not a single BSL club made the top 20. We're also going to list the top 3 sellers clubs, because one of our students had a little too much time on their hands, and decided to compile that list. Grad students, eh?

And, as a note, for simplicity's sake- we used the same formula for the FInancial Power Index for clubs, that we used to measure entire leagues. Why? We had a debate on whether or not to create a separate, club specific formula, or simply apply the Financial Power Index to clubs. We chose the latter. The reason being, is that we felt confident that it was a good measure. We aren't going to release the FPI number for all 700+ clubs in the multiverse that participated in the last three windows- this magazine didn't give us enough space for that. But for purposes of measurement, the same fundamentals apply on a club level that do on a national level. That means, of course, the numbers for clubs will be smaller- as you'll see, comparing the 20th richest club side to the 20th richest league, and so on. But that is, we think, a positive reflection of the index- the richest club in the multiverse spent more than many entire leagues- the ability to do that comparison, on a direct basis, we feel, would be useful to users and readers of the Financial Power Index.

Admittedly, it's not the perfect formula for club specific rankings- but for now, we believe the pros outweigh the cons. We will, of course, look into, for the Financial Power Index after the next window, changing the club specific formula. And, as we've strived to be throughout this process, we'll be fully transparent on that when we come back, for the next transfer window. And, while we provided an individual writeup for the top 3 sellers clubs, we did not do so for each of the top 20 clubs in the financial power index. We did provide a writeup, however, for each club on here that is the richest in their nation- to give some club specific feel. Of course, we also have a general notes section as well.

And without further ado...

Top 3 selling clubs in the UICA
All financials in NSDs.

3. Real Azuris(COS)
Total Sales: $65 million . Total Purchases: $17 million. Difference: $48 million.

Now this club, of course, is an outlier. Why do we call them an outlier? Beware the perils of data. All $65 million in international sales came from the sale of one player- Bryger Tidesson, in the 23rd transfer window, to Brinemouth, of Nephara(this isn't the last time you'll read that name). But still, that was the biggest purchase of the last three transfer windows, and it was so by a particularly large margin. That's why we call them our #3 selling club, with a net $48 million in profit in the international transfer window in the last three windows.

OF course, Cosumarite clubs weren't large participants in the 24th transfer window, so it remains to be seen how they'll use the money. This much is true though- $48 million is a large chunk of change. Banijan fans will remember, of course, the then Banijan and BSL record transfer of Chibuzo Afolayan from Askatasuna FC to AFC Corvistone of Nephara, and watching their nosedive down the league table since then. To say that would happen to Real Azuris would be a surprise, but they must spend that $48 million well. IF you don't use that superstar money wisely, their fans may come to regret the sale.

2. Tihon Tide(CMT)
Total Sales: $63.3 million. Total Purchases: $50.3 million. Difference: $50.3 million.

Chromatik teams have been on a recent binge sale of many foreign players in the last few windows, so it's no surprise that a Chromatik squad ranks so highly on this list. But the numbers don't lie- from a nation that had a total of $158.9 million in sales over the last three windows, the fact that Tihon Tide leads that list is significant. Chromatik teams are receding, as the nation pulls away from the international sporting scene- but if they ever get back to it, then we imagine that Tihon Tide, with $50 million in the bank, would be an instant contender to fly back up their league table once agian.

1. Sporting CD(DRP)
Total Sales: $60 million. Total Purchases: $0.00. Difference: $60 million

And, of course, comes the side from Dreamplanet, of all places. Sporting CD is, by the numbers, the number one selling club across the multiverse, with $60 million in profit across four windows. That shows a solid talent development staff in place, as this is across multiple purchases, rather than just one massive one, like for Real Azuris above. The purchase of Paulo Figueiredo for $13 million by Tannenberg FC, of Valladares, was just the beginning. Then, of course, AC 317 Roses of Velestria spent $9 million on Filipe Vaz, the 26 year old goalkeeper. But then, the stunner- the same side, AC 317 Roses, dropped $38 million dollars on Luis Silva. All of this spending, of course, in the 24th transfer window.

The Dreamplanet side is now rolling in cash- but how will fans feel? It's hard to tell- nobody wants to be a sellers club, but that side, realism kicks in- it's hard to say no when the Velestrian side comes at you with $38 million for your extremely talented winger. We'll see how that effects the side for the upcoming season in domestic play, and most importantly, whether or not their fans are accepting. They don't see that money, of course, so that'll be an interesting one to keep an eye on.

Top 20 richest clubs in the UICA
All financials in NSDs.

20. Coret Hawks(NPH). Financial Power Index: 1.06
Total Spending: $36.5 million. Total Sales: $2 million. Average Purchase: $5.21 million.

19. Northern Union(BRE). Financial Power Index: 1.26
Total Spending: $40 million. Total Sales: $2 million. Average Purchase: $5.71 million

Northern Union is the sole Brenecian club on this list. They spent quite a bit of cash as the richest club in Brenecia- $40 million dollars over the past three seasons. And it is certainly money well spent, as this past domestic season they were the class of Brenecia, walking away with the league title with an 8 point gap at the top of the table.

Northern Union has spent around $15 million in the 23rd transfer window alone, and that was enough to vault them towards the top of the table, from 5th to first in just one season. And now, with a top seed secured in the UICA Champions Cup, they have spent again in the 24th window, trying to gear up for a deep run into club football’s most prestigious competition. That is seen by their $15 million purchase of Starblaydian midfielder Viola Capodanno. With that big money spent, they have shown that they are absolutely capable of flexing their financial muscles when it matters most.

18. Falourr(EUR). Financial Power Index: 1.62
Total Spending: $36 million. Total Sales: $0.00. Average Purchase: $9 million.

17. Ulsa(EUR). Financial Power Index: 2.16
Total Spending: $36 million. Total Sales: $0.00. Average Purchase: $12 million.

16. Mar Sara FC(VAL). Financial Power Index: 2.22
Total Spending: $36.5 million. Total Sales: $0.00. Average Purchase: $12.17 million.

15. Hondo FC(VAL). Financial Power index: 2.64
Total Spending: $40 million. Total Sales: $13 million. Average Purchase: $8 million.

It wouldn’t take a genius to tell you that Hondo FC would land on this list- just ask any Herzegovina City fan! (I, as a disclaimer, as a professor at Northern Moravica, am a hardcore Herzegovina Phoenix fan, for the record, and can’t stand HZCFC). Now that’s out there, they spent $33 million in the 23rd transfer window alone- on four players. One, of course, being Aaron Aiza from Herzegovina City FC, whose stadium is just a couple of miles from this campus. But Aiza was not the only purchase- far from it, as Hondo FC took a big investment in talent from across Atlantian Oceania

Aiza moving in for $7 million across the GSW, you had Lacy Profressíce, the Cosumarite winger, moving in for $6.5 million from Chromatika. You had a winger from the other side, Annabeth Westmoreland, from Baker Park, move in as well for $9.5 million. But the 8 digit purchase was for Arden Lemons, the Cosumarite striker, for $10 million. Hondo FC, in a single offseason, had completely redone their attack. They’re going to make some noise for a while with that attack as strong as it is, both domestically and within the UICA, especially the Champions Cup.

14. Crisisbless(NPH). Financial Power Index: 3.75
Total Spending: $40 million. Total Sales: $17.5 million. Average Purchase: $10 million.

13. Mallox(COS). Financial Power Index: 3.89
Total Spending: $35.5 million. Total Sales: $59 million. Average Purchase: $5.07 million.

12. Oakstone(EUR). Financial Power Index: 4.09
Total Spending: $39.5 million. Total Sales: $32 million. Average Purchase: $7.9 million.

11. Ramusok United(COS). Financial Power Index: 5.32
Total Spending: $63.5 million. Total Sales: $18.5 million. Average Purchase: $10.58 million.

10. A.C. 317 Roses(VLZ). Financial Power Index: 5.52
Total Spending: $47 million. Total Sales: $0.00. Average Purchase: $23.5 million.

Wealth concentrates, doesn't it? There are two teams on this list of 20 that are the only representatives from their country. Northern Union, the Brenecian powerhouse, is one of them. And AC 317 Roses, of Velestria, is the other. The richest club in a league that punches well above their expected weight, at least in this arena, was predicted to finish fifth by the Velestria Sports Daily in the upcoming season of the LigVezia- a disappointment, but something that they are clearly trying to change.

Their strength is headlined by a $38 million purchase of Luis Silva, the Dreamplanet winger who is going to be at the center of their plans to make the long climb towards the top of the mountain in the LigVezia. Of course, with that kind of flexibility, you'd imagine that they will be able to make that climb with relative ease in the domestic sphere- though the international one, is a tougher story. But if you don't win at home, you can't abroad, so that focus on excellence in the LigVezia will be best for their long term prospects.

9. Revolutionaries(EUR). Financial Power Index: 6.72
Total Spending: $37 million. Total Sales: $36 million. Average Purchase: $12.33 million.

8. Crawford City(COS). Financial Power Index: 7.04
Total Spending: $78.5 million. Total Sales: $23.5 million. Average Purchase: $11.21 million.

7. Eastweald(COS). Financial Power Index: 7.42
Total Spending: $67 million. Total Sales: $21.9 million. Average Purchase: $13.4 million.

Eastweald is the highest ranking of the four Cosumarite clubs on this list, coming in with a Financial Power Index of 7.42. And all we have to do is look at the 23rd transfer window, where they dropped all kinds of big bucks, to show you why. This window was highlighted by their $32 million purchase of Brian Bond, the Euran super striker from Oakstone, who is also on this list. That is an extremely large purchase, and of course, one of the largest of the last three windows. However, that is not the only place where they’ve been flexing their muscles. They spent $12 million on a goalkeeper, Hesterine Mercator, from Nephara, in the same window. And a $10 million purchase of Somuele der Pros, from Farfadillis, in the window prior as well shows their financial capabilities.

In this most recent season of the league, of course, this has resulted in a strong season. After the 22nd window, they finished in a mere 6th place- not only did they not make the Champions Cup, but they were out of UICA competition entirely. And they dropped quite a bit of money, highlighted by bringing Brian Bond and Mercator over to the squad, to shore them up. This time around, they finished just two points off the pace, finishing in second place, and earning a spot in the UICA Champions Cup. A great improvement. WE imagine, of course, that they’ll be looking to do even more, and after a year of experience together under their belts, take that last step towards the top of the domestic mountain.

6. 1830 Cathair(AUD). Financial Power Index: 8.44
Total Spending: $52 million. Total Sales: $22.7 million. Average Purchase: $17.3 million

5. Sabrefell Moths(NPH). Financial Power Index: 10.36
Total Spending: $56 million. Total Sales: $46 million. Average Purchase: $14 million.

4. AC Izotz Zubia(AUD). Financial Power Index: 16.33
Total Spending: $47 million. Total Sales: $46 million. Average Purchase: $23.5 million.

Is it shocking that the club responsible for the two largest purchases of all time- dropping $99.9 million on Valrauncion in transfer window 21, and $101 million on Laborious Hawk in Transfer Window 14, is also going to be on the top five richest clubs in the world. Of course, as we only measured the past three seasons of transfer window activity, that means that those two purchases were not even included in this analysis, nor in the production of their FPI number. That is a demonstration, of course, of consistent financial power over the years, something that we can’t really chart.

Regardless, both of their purchases to get to $47 million, were in the most recent window, for the upcoming season. So, of course, it’s hard to say if it was well spent yet. That said, they dropped $15 million on Gentle Breeze, who is considered by many to be the best goalkeeper in the multiverse. She will certainly add to the back line. The other purchase, of course, is 25 year old striker Wilfried Baume, from Valladares, for $32 million. They’re the defending champions, and they spent this cash- reflecting their ambitions in the UICA and other international competitions. We’ll have to wait and see, however, if this money allows them to reach that next level.

3. Sabrefell Athletic(NPH). Financial Power Index: 16.47
Total Spending: $74 million. Total Sales: $52 million. Average Purchase: $18.5 million.

2. Directus(EUR). Financial Power Index: 20.98
Total Spending: $89.5 million. Total Sales: $49 million. Average Purchase: $22.38 million.

The multiverse's second richest club, which is in the multiverse's richest league. Spending a stunning $89.5 million across the last three transfer windows, or nearly $30 million a window- second, of course, to the club following on this, the financial behemoth from Brinemouth. You're talking about a club that, in the 22nd transfer window, dropped a stunning $40 million on World Cup 79 champion Corinne Martel-Burns,and then, in Transfer Window 24, for the upcoming season, dropped over $37 million on Estrella Hawke.

They might have the most expensive strike force in the multiverse- which, if you are a fan of Directus, means that they are quite capable of scoring a number of goals. With Estrella Hawke not suiting up for them yet, we'll have to see if this was money well spent. You're talking about a team that has a pair of consecutive second place finishes in the Euraleague, and will look to Estrella Hawke to push them over the top. Will the richest team in the world's richest league climb back to the top of the table? We'll have to wait and see.

1. Brinemouth(NPH). Financial Power Index: 36.37
Total Spending: $124 million. Total Sales: $26 million. Average Purchase: $41.3 million.

Brinemouth, of Nephara. The richest club in the multiverse. The Nepharim Premiership really came to bat, with a stunning five clubs on the top 20 list in the world. Of course, wealth naturally concentrates, and look at how the top three richest associations are doing when it comes to having the world's richest clubs, with 14 of the 20 from Cosumar, Nephara, and Eura, who ranked 3rd, 2nd, and 1st respectively for the highest Financial Power Index by association.

Brinemouth is a financial behemoth. They dropped well over $100 million across the last three windows, making them the only club to do so. Highlighted by a $65 million purchase of Bryger Tidesson, and, of course, having the largest two transfers of the last three windows in the 23rd window, it cannot be much of a surprise that they ranked #1 in this index. And this seems to be money well spent as well- they are the defending champions of the Nepharim Premiership after their pair of big money purchases in Transfer Window 23. It's expensive to win. The real test will be, though, can they continue to do well? They don't spend $124 million across three windows for a lone trophy- this money was spent to be built for long term success, for multiverse domestic trophies, to win in UICA competition.

TimLig Inaugural Season explained

By Tufan Nursultan

The Prime Minister and the Department for Recreational Acitivities has seen fit for a football league to be formed and for participation in global competiton. The league shall be known as "TimLig" according to the departments press release. However, for the first 2 seasons of the league special rules shall be in place:

1. There will only be 12 teams in each of the three leagues, no expansion is to be allowed.
2. Every player will be signed to an identical contract based on what league they're in and their contracts will adjust automatically with promotion/relegation
3. No foreign based players are allowed to be brought in and only one player may be sold to a foreign club per team per season.
4. The only way to transfer domestically is to trade a player for another.
5. Youth Players may be recruited only from a teams designated region/specialised sports academies and only if there is a spot on the registered team for the player e.g. if a player is expected to be unavailable due to working in an essential industry or injury for 3 months or more or is the one designated foreign sale.

These rules will remain in place for two years upon which a review will occur determining the viability of Football in the country. On top of these rules, the bottom two teams in the top tier known as the Super League shall be relegated to the Workers League, who will promote two teams and relegate 2 of their own. Finally the bottom division The Amateur League will not relegate any teams but will promote 2. There will also be a separate youth league, consisting of teams from cities across the country and specialised sports academies called The Development League. After week 12 of the league a brief hiatus shall occur allowing the teams to participate in the Vizier's Cup.

The preseason period was limited to 4 games, against teams outside of the division the teams reside in. That led to some lopsided results, but gave some indication as to the relative quality of the players and the teams.

As it is the first ever season of the league, many will know next to nothing about any of the teams and their players, this preview should provide a handy guide to what is expected in the Super League. The teams are listed in order of predicted finish:

Manat FK
Team Location: Manat, Demir
Stadium: Manat School Sports Centre (6500)
Nickname: Yesil-Beyazlar (Green-whites)
Manager: Marat Yuseinov (41, original occupation: Bank Teller)
Proected Starting XI (4-2-4): GK: Ahmed Hurriyet (29), DL: Hasan Maratov (22), DC: Rustem Hafizoglu (27), DC: Ilhan Orhanoglu (26), DR: Nuri Selahattin (21), MC: Manas Ilhamev (30), MC: Hakan Diren (c) (31), AMR: Volkan Ayhan (23), AML: Umit Yakar (24), ST: Omer Tameroglu (21), Ismail Burhan (22)
Player to Watch: Ismail Burhan
Analysis: This is by far the most complete team that has emerged from the messy region based draft system. The benefits of being in the capital are being felt and this team has the most athletic and capable players. Whether that advantage is enough to deliver the inaugural title is a good question, most susepct it will be on paper, but matches aren't played on paper. Striker Ismail Burhan, whose day job is as a lab technician is expected to be the leading goalscorer in the league, with him scoring 8 in preseason.

Demirspor
Team Location: Central Demir, Demir
Stadium: Demir-Is Stadium (5500)
Nickname: Demirciler (The Iron-men)
Manager: Yusuf Umut (57, police officer)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-4): GK Hasan Kocaeli (38), DL: Cemalettin Kuyumcu (33), DC: Gokhan Karabulut (c) (36), DC: Levent Ahmedoglu (19), DR: Savas Orhan (20), MC: Atilla Acar (24), MC: Akinci Gumus (26), AMR: Ragip Eyuboglu (22), AML: Tayyar Ozel (26), ST: Hamit Karadere (28), ST: Vatan Ercetin (21)
Player to Watch: Tayyar Ozel
Analysis: Another team from the capital taking advantage of the wide range of players available. This team is much stronger in offence than defence and it will likely show. The proected starting players on the left half of the defence combine for 69 years old while the right combine for 39, potential troubles in chemistry loom. Left winger Tayyar Ozel showed off his creative streak, pulling the strings and scoring many goals from out wide.

Hisar FK
Team Location: Hisar, Demir
Stadium: Hisar School Field of Excellence (6250)
Nickname: Hisarlar (Fortresses)
Manager Manas Volkan (32, Heritage volunteer)
Projected Starting XI (4-5-1): GK: Saban Inekci (27) , DL: Gokhan Umut (24), DC: Tuna Rustemoglu (c) (34) , DC: Osman Hasanoglu (28), DR: Nursultan Altayov (28), MC: Yildirim Agac (29) , MC: Ferhat Tarimci (28) , MC: Yusuf Ihsanoglu (27) , ML: Hakan Visneci (25) , MR: Muharrem Umutoglu (24), ST: Yusuf Akman (22)
Player to Watch: Yusuf Ihsanoglu
Analysis: Hisar are the third team on this list from the capital and the second based out of one of the 'big three' schools famous for their sports clubs. The clubs stadium lies in the shadow of the famous fortress that sits on the large hill in the west of the city. This has given the club a preference for defensive players, conceding only once in 4 games. While this team prefers to lean on its defence, believing building from the back is wisest, it is the clubs midfield trio of Ferhat-Yusuf Ihsanoglu-Yildirim that stood out, with the three forming a dynamic partnership, but with Yusuf standing out as the best player. The work he does isn't glamorous but his energy and hunger for the ball will make him a critical part of any campaign for Hisar.

Tashkentspor
Team Location: Tashkent
Stadium: Tashken Athletics Park (1500)
Nickname: Taslar (The Stones)
Manager: Osman Zulbekaroglu (31, Quarry worker)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-3-1): GK: Iltas Gokcen (24), DL: Necip Colak (29), DC: Murat Bulut (24), DC: Isa Nurioglu (25), DR: Kemal Sabuktiginoglu (31), MC: Selcuk Karadeniz (32), MC Ayhan Ertan (c) (33):, AML: Caner Turan (20), AMC: Metin Aytacoglu (23), AMR: Ibrahim Kahveci (22), ST: Mehmet Karaman (28)
Player to Watch: Metin Aytacoglu
Analysis: Tashkentspor are the strongest team outside of the capital by some margin, their team is well constructed and operates in a formation that allows its young trio of attacking midfielders, Caner, Metin and Ibrahim to wreak havoc knowing that the older pair of Selcuk and Ayhan will provide cover for them. The five midfielders actually worked as electricians together and so have a lot of experience in how the others operate. They impressed in preseason looking dynamic and incisive, if there is a team from outside the capital that can take home the inaugural title, it would likely be Tashkentspor.

Almat JK
Team Location: Almat, Demir
Stadium: Almat Jimnasyum (3000)
Nickname: Traktorlar (The Tractors)
Manager: Batuhan Okay (55, Meat processor)
Projected Starting XI (5-1-2-1-1):GK: Ferdi Kurtoglu (29), DL: Beyhan Enver (23), DC: Okan Kocak (25), DC Ucan Celik (26):, DC: Eyup Mustafa (25), DR: Orhan Yalman (29), DM: Oztekin Timur (c) (22), MC: Taner Can (29), MC: Eren Unal (28), AMC: Sezer Erim (31), ST: Cetin Binali (23)
Player to Watch: Oztekin Timur
Analysis: Almat are the third team from the "big three" schools, it's often seen as the little brother among the schools. The team they've put together is built with defence in mind, they are expected to operate with a flat back 5 and a defensive midfielder to act as a screen for the defence. Their star player is expected to be Oztekin Timur, who will primarily play as the screening defensive midfielder. He will also take the captain's armband a big responsibility for a 22 year old and the youngest starter on the team. They are probably outside contenders for the title, their focus on defence in a league that will likely suffer from poor technical quality and inexperience will likely leave them some way behind their rivals in the capital.

Uryanspor
Team Location: Uryan
Stadium: Uryan Recreational Park (2340)
Nickname: Baltacilar (The Axemen)
Manager: Baskurt Cetinkaya (43, Farmer)
Projected Starting XI (4-5-1 DM): GK: Murat Yigithan (24), DL: Ozbek Sarikaya (29), DC: Nuri Altun (32), DC: Metin Boz (c) (27), DR: Gokdeniz Dag (22), DM: Timur Nas (28), MC: Azer Erdinc (22), MC: Yasin Tekiner (24), ML: Kurboga Akyol (30), MR: Oral Guven (29), ST: Fatih Alpaslanoglu (25)
Player to Watch: Metin Boz
Analysis: Uryanspor are based out of a city that was large enough to house some decently gifted players, particular highlights include their centre back pairing. With the elder Nuri Altun providing cover for the much more athletic Metin Boz. Metin will also act as captiain for the team, who will focus on letting their opponents come to them and congesting the midfield. A lot will ride on how their striker Fatih Alpaslanoglu copes with long periods of isolation on the pitch and if he can make the most of the opportunities that do come his way. Expect to see Uryanspor in the top half of the league, perhaps even in the top 3 if they can find their stride early in the season.

Elektriklestirmespor
Team Location: Elektriklestirme
Stadium: Tim-Enerji Park (7000)
Nickname: Yildirim (Lightning)
Manager: Yahsiboga Levni (43, Construction worker)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-3-1): GK: Sezgin Sancakli (29), DL: Caner Ulas (23), DC: Cagdas Gurses (24), DC: Anil Erol (27), DR: Engin Tokgoz (26), MC: Kazak Baykal (29), MC: Berkin Batuk (26), AML: Oktay Keskin (22), AMC: Ertan Renda (25), AMR: Tekin Yavuz (c) (29), ST: Recep Koyuncu (26)
Player to Watch: Tekin Yavuz
Analysis: Elektriklestirmespor from a city whose name literally means electrification are a team that have built a strong offence. Their weakness in defence may not be exposed due to the expectation that the league will not have very strong defensive play so the lack of investment and tactical emphasis will not put them at a significant disadvantage, but they aren't a team that are expected to make waves this year, perhaps with a good run of form they may be able to put in a decent cup run and build confidence for next year. Right winger Tekin Yavuz will likely provide the attacking impetus for the team and provide 6'5 target man Recep Koyuncu with crosses to get on the end of.

Demir Buyukkentspor
Team Location: Central Demir, Demir
Stadium: Belediye Park (5800)
Nickname: Arilar (The Bees)
Manager: Aytek Saban (33, Data analyst)
Projected Starting XI (4-4-2): GK: Teoman Demirbas (31), DL: Aydemir Aybar (26), DC: Husnu Kashani (24), DC: Ugur Korkut (23), DR: Zafer Bastimur (22), MC: Kaya Unsal (29), MC: Sahin Gul (c) (28), ML: Umit Ciftci (23), MR: Altinhan Yerlikaya (24), ST: Mengucek Hamzaoglu (29), ST: Aypolat Erenoglu (27)
Player to Watch: Sahin Gul
Analysis: Teams from here are considered candidates for relegation, Demir Buyukkentspor are not expected to be in severe danger seeing as they were able to access the deep well of players available in the capital. If captain and midfield dynamo Sahin Gul fails to get into a rich vein of form the team may begin to suffer and could slip into the relegation battle. During the preseason the team played best when their captain played well, otherwise the team seemed to struggle mightily.

Bakir FK
Team Location: Uryan
Stadium: Maden-Is Stadium (3400)
Nickname: Madenciler (The Miners)
Manager: Ornek Okur (41, Miner)
Projected Starting XI (4-5-1 DM): GK: Yaser Okur (31), DL: Oktay Engin (30), DC: Kutalmis Adanir (c) (27), DC: Tahir Coskun (31), DR: Ilker Sener (25), DM: Erdi Turkyilmaz (24), MC: Akkurt Karaduman (22), MC: Abdulaziz Ihsanoglu (23), ML: Yasin Denizli (26), MR: Ramazan Cihan (25), ST: Necati Agaoglu (30)
Player to Watch: Tahir Coskun
Analysis: The other team from Uryan, they are based out of the Bakir school for underprivileged children, perhaps ideal due to the deprived nature of the city. The team could find itself in the battle for survival if defender Tahir Coskun fails to provide the organisation to the defence that manager Ornek Okur managed to coax out of him in preseason. This is not a team with many high hopes, beyond that of returning next year and landing a few youth prospects who could boost the squad for years to come.

Urukspor
Team Location: Uruk
Stadium: Uruk Belediye Stadium (2000)
Nickname: Bukalemunlar (The Chameleons)
Manager: Firat Seyfi (32, Sunglass salesman)
Projected Starting XI (4-4-2): GK: Baykal Taskiran (28), DL: Erol Demiroren (22), DC: Cengiz Cakmak (25), DC: Isa Kartal (27), DR: Karatay Ibrahimoglu (28), MC: Tuna Boral (29), MC: Emre Kahveci (c) (22), ML: Tolga Mehmetoglu (23), MR: Hasan Gumus (29), ST: Mertcan Gunaydin (22), ST: Necmettin Umut (32)
Player to Watch: Erol Demiroren
Analysis: Urukspor have chosen at least in the preseason to play a balanced style, neither favouring attack nor defence. While this is a tactically astute manoeuvre by the coach, who favours a 4-4-2, it does mean that the players they selected are jacks of all trades and the masters of none. This doesn't mean that they can't succeed, but other teams in the league have at least built systems to maximise their players strengths and minimise their weaknesses. The trouble with a team like this, where every player is serviceable and versatile means that by necessity they will be inflexible. If Firat Seyfi can overcome the difficulties in running a team where every player is merely decent with no determinable star other than left back Erol Demiroren then we may be welcoming them back next season.

Kilicspor
Team Location: Kilic
Stadium: Kilic Belediye Park (1800)
Nickname: Kiliclar (The Swords)
Manager: Ildemir Akkoz (34, Stock manager)
Projected Starting XI (5-1-2-1-1): GK: Sahin Ozgultekin (c) (27), DL: Abdullah Havutcu (30), DC: Ergun Okanoglu (29), DC: Alpay Osmanoglu (22), DC: Yildiray Sabuktiginoglu (23), DR: Tayfur Akyel (30), DM: Tugay Kazakoglu (27), MC: Cem Veysel (22), MC: Yavuz Terzi (24), AMC: Arif Tas (23), ST: Gokhan Umitoglu (25)
Player to Watch: Sahin Ozgultekin
Analysis: One of the teams earmarked for relegation, the town of Kilic and the surrounding region did not exactly have an abundance of talent. They are expected to play in the same defensive formation as Almat, though with significantly less quality throughout the team. If they stay up it will likely be on the back of factory worker turned goalkeeper Sahin Ozgultekin who will have to organise a team made of the dregs that the region had to offer. Otherwise Cem Veysel will be critical to the teams chance of succeeding as he is really the only player of significant technical quality.

Yumruk Idman Yurdu
Team Location: Yumruk
Stadium: Isci Park (2300)
Nickname: Sincaplar (The Squirrels)
Manager: Osman Altintop (47, Unemployed)
Projected Starting XI (5-3-1-1): GK: Ercan Gulek (32), DL: Tigin Yigithan (24), DC: Cuneyt Erdinc (33), DC: Uludogan Ciftci (29), DC: Bilal Akcatepe (30), DR: Servet Ayturk (24), MC: Gundogan Polat (c) (29), MC: Musa Karakaya (27), MC: Ugurhan Nihatoglu (28), AMC: Alpaslan Reza (21), ST: Serhat Gundoganoglu (35)
Player to Watch: Servet Ayturk
Analysis: A team mostly made up of leftovers and unwanted by other teams, Yumruk Idman Yurdu will find it extremely challenging to make anything of themselves in the inaugural season. This is reflected by the defensive posture the team is expected to take. However, even though the team is quite some distance behind even Kilicspor in terms of raw talent and quality, defender Servet Ayturk presents an anchor on the right side of the defence that many teams will have to find a way around in order to exploit the relative weakness of the team.

TimLig 6 Week Summary

By Tufan Nursultan

After 6 weeks, more than a quarter of the inaugural season of TimLig we look back on the first 6 weeks of football and try to assess how each team has done and how they might finish the season.

MATCHDAY 1
The first ever games to take place in the TimLig ended up being a rather mundane affair, with 5/6 home teams winning and only Tashkent falling to a draw against Bakir after goals in the 88th and 90th minute capped off what was a rather dull and sparkless game at Tashkenk Athletics Park. Meanwhile all of the early favourites got off to comfortable wins with a brace from Ismail Burhan seeing Manat through against Yumruk Idman Yurdu who put up a better than expected fight and three goals from set pieces saw Demirspor beat Kilicspor

MATCHDAY 2
A much more competitive day than the opening week, with 2 score draws demonstrating that the league will not be as terribly lopsided as some may have feared. Wins for Manat, Hisar and Demirspor came away from home at weaker opposition, whose defending fell into comical standards and the early trio of leaders should have won by more. Elsewhere Elektriklestirmespor recorded their first win of the campaign after falling to Uryanspor on the opening weekend, running out comfortable 3-1 winners against Tashkentspor at home.

MATCHDAY 3

The best viewing was to be found at Tashkentspor as Almat played in an uncharacteristically open style leading to an entertaining 3-2 victory for the hosts, a last minute free kick from Metin Aytacoglu saw them seize the three points. Elsewhere the trio of early leaders took care of business, but both Manat and Hisar ran into more trouble than expected against Uryanspor and Urukspor who put in credible performances against their more athletic opponents. Yumruk Idman Yurdu are still searching for their first win of the campaign after a 2-0 loss to Demir Buyukkentspor.

MATCHDAY 4

Manat took advantage of their rivals losing 2-0 and 2-1 respectively edging out Bakir FK away from home 1-0 a last minute goal from captain Hakan Diren saw them take the three points. Elsewhere Yumruk Idman Yurdu's winless streak continued with yet another loss, this time at the hands of Uryanspor, their lack of quality in defence exemplified by the poor organisation running through the team. Elektriklestirmespor recorded the most decisive result of the day routing Kilicspor 3-0 in a game where Kilicspor struggled from the beginning to gain a foothold in the game.

MATCHDAY 5

Manat continued their red hot start, extending their win streak to 5 with a comfortable win over city rivals Demir Buyukkentspor, easily dispatching them 3-0 with Omer Tameroglu contributing 2 goals. Hisar managed to edge out Demirspor 2-1 away from home, disappointing home fans. Yumruk Idman Yurdu managed to double their points totaly with a credible draw against Tashkentspor, hopefully a sign of better things to come. Bakir FK and Electriklestirmespor played out a dull 0-0 draw.

MATCHDAY 6
The highlight of the day was Demirspor's 11-1 demolition of Yumruk Idman Yurdu, the team suffering a horrible collapse after reaching half time 1-0 up, Tayyar Ozel contributed 4 goals and Vatan Ercetin contributed a hattrick as Demirspor ran away with the game. Tashkentspor recorded a comfortable 4-0 win over Urukspor leaving them 4 points behind the top 3. Manat suffered a shock defeat to Elektriklestirmespor, who recorded a shocking 3-1 victory leaving many to wonder if the team replicated that performance whether they could mount an outside challenge for the title.

So far these results have left the league with a 3 way tie at the top between Hisar, Manat and Demirspor each on 15 points. Their closest challengers sitting on 11 points are Tashkentspor and Uryanspor, who will be looking to narrow the gap with the top 3. At the other end following their historic 11-1 defeat, Yumruk Idman Yurdu occupy last place sitting on two points alongside Kilicspor, though Yumruk will be much more concerned with their -15 goal different. Urukspor, Bakir FK and Demir Buyukkent find themselves just above the relegation zone after 6 games.

Season 26 preview: In, Out, Shaking It All About

A moderately active (by local standards) transfer season saw several players sign in and out of the 1./ . In the outgoing direction, as has already been reported by the Hope City Herald, young goalkeeper Paige Daunten signed for North Sabrefell in Nephara after helping Sporting Esper win the title. Daunten, a noted fan of Eva Pavand's long-running "Ecstasy of Winging" series, will be hoping to make the Bohemians a little more rhapsodic.

Excelsior Slogda signed two new players from the crosstown rivals of Cathair in Audioslavia. Baran Kuznetsov is the more sedate elder brother of prodigious striker Desya, and plays at right-back. Midfielder Ignacio Borjon is struggling with "medium sized fish in an expansive and cosmopolitan pond" at 1830, and hopes Craton gives him the chance to see more playing time. Of course with his luck they will proceed to implode dreadfully and he'll be forced to carry the team (*ominous foreshadowing*). But not literally, that wouldn't work.

Ephesian FC landed the services of Nubara Moafalia, an AOCAF champion with Turori, under the working theory that one can never have too many midfielders. This may or may not be true, I mean, there's a saying about cooks and broth. Which doesn't seem to be relevant here, because it's broth, it's supposed to be bland and featureless. Unlike Ephesian FC. Um...I was going somewhere with this. New players! Yes!

Perhaps the most controversial arrivals are not in the professional league at all, but rather the collegiate circuit. Frosh Zaxac-Fenaz Pec and Belaj-Upuln Ivo, both of Qusmo, signed for Scholl College and Elizur Mountain College respectively. Scholl, who are insufferable hipsters anyway, printed some editorials in the student newspaper about subverting gender roles and like...stuff, which were scathingly reprinted with counterpunctal annotations in the Bassabook Baritone. Elizur Mountain are just hoping their football team can outdraw other attractions on campus like the "natural history dioramas from last century" in the Life Sciences quad.

Finally, due to some kind of strike in the logistics office, the home and away system for the Cereal Cup is on hiatus this year. This is definitely for in-character economic reasons and not at all because we forgot to remember until the last round. It may mean Sporting Esper just coast to victory, but like, fighting on multiple fronts, it is a hard thing.

2018-19 Season Preview | RAFL Cup Results | 2018-19 Season Recap

APL FOOTBALL: 2018-19 Season
MARCH, 2019: It was all about the newly crowned league champions Olulawi United this year. And why wouldn't it be? With one of their most brilliant seasons in their past 29 years of existence, the Reds have squashed the odds, dethroning the previous APL Champions East Han, who won the league in back-to-back seasons in 2017 and 2018. Losing their two best forwards Yuri Atsi and Kenneth Osomoai to foreign clubs, as well as, according to many, their best defender Jonathan Beddain, many APL fans and analyzers - even Reds fans themselves - thought Olulawi United had no chance this season. They thought that Olulawi United's closest finish to first place in who knows how long would be their second place finish at the end of last season, barely missing East Han with a three-goal-shy goal difference. "A top five finish," some said. "That's probably the best they'll get." They were wrong. With their 54-goal season in the books, the Reds finish off their season with the most goals, the most points and the the least goals conceded in the entire league, and earn their fourth league title in their history. Without question, they deserve all achievements they've got with an effort like that.

[PLAYER SPOTLIGHT] TESS MONTROSE

Tess Montrose, a twenty-nine year old striker from the Free Land of Brenecia, caught the eyes of many followers of the Abajan Premier League, debuting her APL career in stunning fashion. She was bought by Olulawi United from her previous club "Kingsgrove," a club from her homeland Brenecia. Previously, two former stars from Olulawi United had been sold and one released - two of them forwards. Kenneth Osomoai, a young striker who lit up the team's chemistry from his debut season in 2015, was released. Yuri Atsi, sister of Abajan national-teamer Alan Atsi, was a threat on the left wing. She was sold to Tobiasia City in Tobiasia. Jonathan Beddain, the best-known center-back in the league, followed Yuri Atsi to Tobiasia and settled with the Portside Tigers. This all happened in 2018 before the season started. Being aware this, Tess Montrose knew that pressure would be put on her to make up for these vital losses.

The pressure never broke her. She started in every game that she played [28]. She bounced back from a two-week foot injury in week 11 and ended up scoring 21 of the club's 54 goals in the 2018-19 APL season. She also had 14 assists in the season, making her responsible for over half of the goals scored by her new team. She was a blessing in the eyes of the fanatics from Olulawi, and a reliever of the stress that many Olulawians had when their two best players were gone. And she won the golden ball in her rookie season. In the beginning of the season, she started off pretty slow. Only 1 goal in her first 6 games. In her 10th game, she had 5 goals. In her 15th game, 9 goals. In her 20th, 14 goals. She rose quickly, and Olulawi United rose in the league table. Her most spectacular game of the season was against Menusa in week 18, where she scored a hat-trick and had one assist to her teammate Edem Odoawelah, sealing of 5-1 victory at University Stadium. As the season progressed, the better she became, and the more her expectations rose.

Montrose's effort and work ethic is reflected on the field, and already she has earned a big name in a big club in a growing league.

MARCH, 2019: As for the secondary league, the Kuclaii Mountaineers finish off with a whopping 65 points, winning the league and earning promotion back to the Abajan Premier League after just one season. Quick turn around, wouldn't you think? Behind them is a somewhat new face to the APL: Menusa Athletic. Sometimes being insulted as "The Inferior Side of Menusa," by fans of Menusa FC, the club Menusa Athletic was relegated to the ASL in 2012. They've been there ever since. For seven years the Burners from southern Menusa had been ridiculed by the north side Warriors Menusa FC. Well, now the two teams can finally resume their long rivalry next season.

Dell Ujebo, captain of Kuclaii SC, led the ASL in scoring, putting 21 goals on the table. His teammate, Rebi Anaikam, was close behind, finishing off with 17 goals on the season. For Menusa Athletic, Alexis Turay led the team in goals with 15. The team also let in the least goals of the season. Together, the Mountaineers and the Burners will come again the the APL to replace Seaport, a team which narrowly survived relegation two years in a row, and last place Heartland, a team that was just re-introduced to the APL last season.

Nickname(s):Cardinal
Offseason Moves: Bought Right Back Eleven Peters from Los Riosa Monstas. Promoted youth squad defender Lyle Marchand.
Championships: 58
Other Accolades: Benevolence Bowl 22, 24, Fadron Pizza Cup 30
Last Season Finish:5th
Team Info A spot in the Globe Cup last year for a very consistent 1093 Club de Atlantea. This year they will hope to push for a stronger season, especially with Kelssek international Gabriel LaPierre getting more used to his new setting. The big news is the signing of young defender Lyle Marchand, a strong prospect on the bench who may be a year or two away from starting but he has a strong on the ball ability, and that will never not be useful.

Al Haxire

Ground:Al Haxire Club Stadium 200,000
Manager:Benjamin Rover
Colors:Green and White
Jerseys:

Sponsor:Al Haxire Automotive
Nickname(s):Djinnis
Offseason Moves:None
Last Season Finish:10th
Championships
Team Info It was a wildly successful season for Benajmin Rover and the Al Haxire outfit. After their first season back in the Premier League many thought it would be another relegation fight for the side, but they proved more than up to the task. Spending most of the season close to the top 5, they ultimately just finished inside the top 10. With a strong midfield, especially in national teamer Shiloh Morgenstern, they seem like a strong side, if they can capitalize on their strong play and continue like that they could have a lot to say in the upcoming season.

Atlantea Hurricanes

Ground:Atlantea Coliseum 590,000
Manager:Markus Horst
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys:

Expectations:Finish Top Half
Starters:Pacabel, Franz, Foster, Baker, Pern, Drew, Armageddon, Noctus, Helm, Nkitilina, Martin

Other Accolades: Globe Cup 18 Runners Up, Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 4, 14, Benevolence Bowl Winners 1
Last Season Finish:22nd
Team Info A terrible season for the capitol outfit saw Chase Brighton fired, and new manager Markus Horst come in. The side haven’t one a title in over two decades, and haven’t really been competitive in almost as long. They weirdly enough have 5 players in and around the national teams, but none of them is really a world beater. Their biggest problem is the fact that while Wilhelm Nkitilina is a great young striker, he is still small and hasn’t exactly grown into his body yet, and that continues to pose problems in a very physical league.

Bayern Phoenix

Ground:Old Club Stadium 77,000
Manager:
Colors:Red and Blue
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Finish top half
Starters:Marks, Halifax, Bowler**, Carpenter, Parker, Evans, Williams, Grose, Vanderweil, Talbot, Kepler

Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Justin Marks from Laketown FC.
Championships:20, 25, 27, 28, 29
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 1, 20, Youth Cup 6 Winners
Last Season Finish:4th
Team Info Bayern continues to be a side that relies on a strong team effort. A fourth place finish saw them into international play once again, but if you take a gander at their roster you would be hard pressed to find any real players of note. They tend to manage to compete with players that are above the middle level of average, but not so good that other teams would be willing to spend money to buy them away.

Bayern-Algaer

Ground:Bayern Stadium 24,000
Manager:Aaron Opare
Colors:Red and Black

Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Michael Smyth from Los Riosa Monstas.
Championships:17, 22, 23, 32, 51
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 17
Last Season Finish:17th
Team Info It was a real down year for Bayern-Algaer and it showed with their lack of anything really to talk about. The offseason lacked any real pizzazz as well and as their two most notable players are U21 bench warmers its not exactly a thrilling season of expectation for the more recent Bayern champions. They continue to be picked to compete in the league, but how much they will do so remains to be seen.

Blacklake Blues

Ground:Blacklake Blues Ballpark 79,000
Manager:Everett Anderson

Sponsor:Blacklake Brewery
Nickname(s):Blues
Offseason Moves:
Championships:
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:8th
Team Info Blacklake continues to be an upper middle table side. Unlike the random successes some of the other middle pack teams have had over the years, Blacklake has yet to win any sort of trophy, and that must really grind their fans gears. Over a half century in the Premier League and they have nothing much to show for it, and they may never have much of anything in that realm. A few international appearances, but always a bridesmaid and never the bride.

Capetown Crocs

Ground:Capetown Stadium 34,000
Manager: Kolt Freegan (Banija)
Colors:Black and Green
Jerseys:

Sponsor:TMI Lighting
Nickname(s):Crocs, The Ancients
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Gavin Colton from Los Riosa Monstas. Bought Center Forward Jay Martin from Williams Isle.
Last Season Finish:11th
Team Info A strong few seasons from Capetown continues to see them slowly move up the table from also ran, to somewhat competitive. They still don’t have the names that would make you a team that is fighting for the title, but they definitely can be a strong team in the Globe Cup race. A few youth prospects have the fans around the city excited for the future, though their big need will be when Goalkeeper George Dufailloy retires in a season or 2. Those will be big shoes to fill.

Cedar Township

Ground: Memorial Park (41,000)
Manager: Alexander Fassy
Colors: Orange and Black
Fan Support: Low
Expectations: Avoid Relegation
Starters: Martino, Maxwell, Lauranitis, Cassidy, Jenkins, Olliver, Paxton, Grace, Ninetails, Jacoby, Pince
Reserves Cook, Sawell, Grant, Averton, Michaels
Sponsor: Icicle Paints
Nickname(s): Canaries
Offseason Moves:
Last Season Finish:2nd Erste Liga
Championships:
Team Info The big surprise is Cedar Township joins recent promoted side Yenvil Town as being the smallest sides in the Premier League. For their part Cedar Township has a small following just like last years Yenvil squad, but Yenvil seemed more likely to stay topside with a strong group of players. Cedar Township is more like a second division side. They seem unlikely to do what the only other side that like them has been promoted through every division that existed when they joined the pyramid and stay up.

Fadrön Flight

Ground:Fadrön University Field 89,000
Manager:
Colors:Green and Red
Jerseys:

Expectations:Compete for a title
Starters:Calvin, Cortez, Cartwright, Stevenson*, Comet, Kiln, Farnsworth, Figeuroa, Glavine Jiminez, Blake
Reserves:Ben, Pryce, Jacobs, Prince, Connoly
Sponsor:Fadron Pizza
Nickname(s):Flight, Flyers
Offseason Moves: Bought Right Back Konnor Comet from Poseidon Los Riosa. Bought Center Forward Everett Blake from Laketown FC.
Championships:
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 19, Youth Cup 1, 14 Winners
Last Season Finish:7th
Team Info An interesting offseason move from Fadron Flight saw them bring in a new forward over national teamer Orlando Jiminez on the bench. That move turned out to be a smokescreen as the team is switching from a 4-5-1, to any empty bucket 4-2-2-2. That change brings Jiminez onto the field more often, and allows the strong attacking players to get as much of the ball as they can.

Hannah

Ground:The Field (23,000)

Nickname(s):Hoppers
Offseason Moves:
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:18th
Team Info Not a strong season from the only peninsula side in the league. While they were never really in fear of relegation the young Hannah side didn’t do much more than stay out of that battle. Perhaps the youngest team in the league they have a strong contingent of youth national teamers, and while their attack has left much to be desired in the past few years as that young corps gets older they seem to find ways to score more and more goals and that is a good sign.

Knightspurs

Ground:The Dome 92,300

Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Harnell, Green, Foster, Elvis, Martin, Everett, Miles, Urt, Ace, Wanner, Smith

Sponsor:Tae-Mart
Nickname(s):Spurs, Knights
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Miller Foster from Mt Ceabring Thunder. Promoted youth squad midfielder Addison Hartwright.
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:20th
Team Info Knightspurs did not use the windfall from selling Geoffrey Klingenberg to their advantage in the past season as they continued their less than stellar seasons. A new hope has emerged in youth product Addison Hartwright who seems likely to be in the vein of Klingenberg, in that he will make money for the team one day. Right now he’s a rather raw attacking midfielder and that won’t do the side who hemorrhages goals much moving forward.

Laketown Rangers

Ground:Stadium on the Lake 90,000
Manager:Matteus Sigurdsson
Colors:Blue, Blue and More Blue
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Championship
Starters:Alison, Clark, Sale**, Martin, Coshan, Jewsbury, George, Applesby, Ford, Snavely*, Smith
Reserves: Yago**, Cox, Prewitt, Carter, Fish
Sponsor:Laketown Police Academy
Nickname(s):Rangers
Offseason Moves:

Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup 6, 10, 14, 17, 27, 28, Benevolence Bowl 17, 23
Last Season Finish:3rd
Team Info Laketown finished another season in third place meaning they will have some work to do in the upcoming season. They will likely have work to do after the season as Miles Snavely has confirmed his retirement, and Janson Jewsbury seems unlikely to have as much in him as his former national team captain did after going to the national team bench. They rest of the squad seems unlikely to put up much of a fight without the two leaders, and that could mean its time for the most galactico side in Taeshan to once again find a way to spend some money on some foreign or domestic talents.

Nickname(s):Manatees
Offseason Moves:
Championships: 59, 63
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 23 and 24
Last Season Finish:1st
Team Info It took them 4 years to win their second title, but it was before most of the young squad of the last title looked towards retirement and now it seems like a good bit of their title winning side might be going into a last hurrah. With 3-4 players on the fringe of youth and national teams they have a strong youth lineup and could be a part of the title race in the upcoming season, or much like after their first title they could fall by the way side and do much of nothing. Anything is possible with this side.

Moresville FC

Ground:Moresville Brewery Park
Manager:Peter Forrest

Nickname(s):The Owls
Offseason Moves:
Championships:37, 38
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 12, 16, Benevolence Bowl Winners 2
Last Season Finish:1st Erste Liga
Team Info A strong season from Moresville FC saw them win the second division and now the two time champions return to the top flight. They have a strong lineup, in the fact that they could stay up for a few years, but they are well removed from the days of Lydie and Jordan Jaffacake. Not a lot to say beyond that. The left side is strong between possible future youth national teamers Sullivan Garrett and Bennet Townsend, but not much can really be said about the rest of the squad.

New Capetown Falcons

Ground:New Capetown Memorial Park 100,111
Manager:Jason Vandersmitt
Colors:Pink, Red and Grey

Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Porter Carlson from Williams Isle.
Championships:39
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 15, 22, 23 , Benevolence Bowl Winners 3, 4, 14, 18
Last Season Finish:21st
Team Info It was a less than stellar season from the New Capetown side that managed to not be relegated, but it was better than their cross-town rivals to say the least. That said more is expected from the former champions and they have been less than good for many years and that sees many people wondering when they will be competitive again. That said they are still in the topflight and are one of the longest serving members of the division.

Ojian Orangemen

Ground: Ojian Principality Field (99,000)
Manager:Avon Brewer
Colors:Orange and White

Reserves Erickson, Jacoby, Hewitt, McCarthy, Samson
Sponsor: Ojian Glass
Nickname(s):Orangemen
Offseason Moves:
Last Season Finish:15th
Championships:
Team Info A strong season from a side not expected to do much of anything saw them finish almost at the middle of the table. Not much to say about the team other than a collection of less than stellar players provided for a strong season for their fans. Nothing much to really think they can do that a second time this season, but they can definitely continue to be a strong top flight side.

Real Atlantea

Ground:The Wheelhouse 69,069

Starters:Jacobs, Svenson, Denver, Cratos, Jurado**, Kline, Daniels, Moon*, Vanderbilt, Karl, Newberry

Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Jason Denver from Williams Isle. Bought Goalkeeper Katherine Jacobs from Los Riosa Monstas. Bought Right Wing Back Coswalt Kline from Los Riosa Monstas. Named Sahler Moon Captain.
Championships:40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 52
Other Accolades: Copa de Campeones 29 Champions, 59th Champions’ Cup Semi-Finalists, Benevolence Bowl Winners 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, Youth Cup 13, Fadron Pizza Cup 31 Winners
Last Season Finish:6th
Team Info So close to international play for the side from Atlantea most expected to compete for a trophy. A strong offseason saw them pick up a strong new keeper, and a strong wingback. The side has some attacking form in Jamison Newberry and Sahler Moon, who now takes the captain’s armband. The team will have a lot to prove in the upcoming season and that is a lot of what could make them relevant as they look to overtake their city rivals in total trophies.

Reserves Parker, Denver, Faulkner, Grey, Karbovanets**
Sponsor:Water Solutions of Lake Minor
Nickname(s):Chihuahuas
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Kyle Tedeschi from Laketown FC. Bought Center Back Mark Baker from Yaton United. Bought Right Back Matt Pruitt from Mt Ceabring Thunder.
Championships:18, 19
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:14th
Team Info It was a strong season for a team that hasn’t done a lot of competing in the past few Premier League seasons. A lot of strong players hasn’t let much for the team and that is not saying a lot. The side doesn’t have a strong coffer right now, and that showed in the offseason as they replaced almost all of their backline with less than impressive players from around the lower divisions.

Sponsor:Ogilvy Real Estate
Nickname(s):Wranglers
Offseason Moves:
Championships: 62
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 25, Youth Cup 2 Winners
Last Season Finish:12th
Team Info It was a less than stellar follow up season from Sleepy Hollow after their first championship season. That said a lot wasn’t expected from the side who not only didn’t seem likely to compete for the title when they actually won it, and now with international games to cut up their squad a little they had a lot more to worry about than the league. That said they have more money now so going after a second title seems like a possibility in the upcoming season.

Taeshan City Miners

Ground:Taeshan Educators Park 56,000
Manager:Evander Peters
Colors:Red and Orange
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Win the Championship
Starters:Okposo, Janson, Laranas**, Gordon, Selis, McCain, Shelby, Jackson, Barker, Salazar, Cortez
Reserves Jansen, Kensington, Wright, Miller, Carson
Sponsor:Taeshan Educators Association
Nickname(s):Miners
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad Goalkeeper Nick Jansen. Bought Center Back Kyle Gordon from Los Riosa Monstas. Bought Center Midfielder Aston Shelby from Los Riosa Monstas.
Championships: 54, 55, 56, 57, 61
Other Accolades: Youth Cup 5 , 8, 9 Champs, Benevolence Bowl 19, 20, 21, Fadron Pizza Cup 25 Champions
Last Season Finish:13th
Team Info It was a good offseason from Taeshan City, after following up a title with a respectable season their most recent season left a lot to be desired for. They made the best move of the offseason picking up Aston Shelby from Los Riosa the biggest offseason move within Taeshan. The new strong center back really should give the side a chance moving forward to add a 6th title. This season seems a bit unlikely however.

Tintown Terrapins

Ground:Tintown Stadium 23,000
Manager:Everett Swann
Colors:White and Jade
Jerseys:

Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters:Miller, Irwin, Adams, Byrde, Baker, Veiga, Abl Bakr, Kepler, Green, Falst, Zephyr

Nickname(s):Terrapins
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Jacob Adams from Mt Ceabring Thunder.
Championships:30
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 26
Last Season Finish:16th
Team Info Tintown continues to do a solid job of not having much of a problem competing with the rest of the bottom dwellers and finishing in the upper half of the bottom of the table. They don’t do anything exciting, and beside Randall Abl Bakr don’t have a lot of exciting players. They don’t seem likely to fight for anything of real worth this season, but also shouldn’t be in the real discussion to head towards relegation.

X Island Marauders

Ground:X Island Metropark 200,000
Manager:Jacob Early
Colors:Black and White
Jerseys:
Fan Support:High
Expectations:Middle Table
Starters:Foh, Turniquette, Jay, Cavanaugh, Matteo, Daigo, Smith, Creider, Drice, Kent, Karlsbad
ReservesJohnson, Mackson, Carn, Farnsworth, Price
Sponsor:Globo Fitness
Nickname(s):Marauders
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad Goalkeeper Kevin Johnson.
Championships:14
Other Accolades:
Last Season Finish:2nd
Team Info It was a return to form that X Island hasn’t seen in decades as they finished in the Champions’ Cup second position and saw international play. They haven’t been the sexiest of sides in recent years but they have a strong young defensive core and that is going a long way in making them competitive. It remains to be seen if they can do a good job of keeping that up, but they seem likely to continue fighting for a second title.

Yaton FC

Ground:Yaton Insurance Park 88,000
Manager:Anderson Jamison
Colors:Blue and Yellow
Jerseys:
Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Mid Pack
Starters: Maxwell, James, Gorner, McKenzie, Hunter, Moriarty, Quinones, Kiln, Cooper, Grandhouse, Vegas
Reserves Paisley, Felix, Martin, Smith, Park

Nickname(s):SeaMonsters
Offseason Moves: Bought Right Back Todd Hunter from Laketown FC. Bought Left Back Fred James from Williams Isle.
Championships:2
Other Accolades: Youth Cup 3, 4, 7 Winners
Last Season Finish:9th
Team Info Yaton has had some strong seasons in recent years and continues to have a strong youth set up. Benjamin Moriarty continues to pull the strings in the middle and with Liam McKenzie behind him they have a strong backbone for a good squad. The rest of the pieces leave a lot to be desired and is nothing more than a team that can push for the Globe Cup spots.

Nickname(s): Glovers
Offseason Moves:
Last Season Finish: 19th
Championships:
Team Info A strong campaign from Yenvil Town saw them avoid even much of a tense prospect of relegation in their first year in the top flight. While many expected them to fall quicker than a ball dropped on New Years’ they managed to stay up rather well. That said there is not much about the side that screams coming back for more punches in the upcoming season and they seem like great candidates for being relegated.

TimLig Week 12 Summary

By Tufan Nursultan

As teams prepare for the Vizier's Cup break, we look back at how the Super League has progressed in the past 6 weeks, taking us up to 12 games. With each team having played the other at least once, we can now begin to draw some conclusions about each team.

Matchday 7
Manat managed to recover from their shocking defeat the past week and edged out Uryanspor 1-0. The best viewings however were at Tashkentspor's 3-1 win away from home against Demir Buyukkentspor and Urukspor's 3-1 victory over Demirspor. Elsewhere Yumruk Idman Yurdu managed to only lose by 1 goal against Kilicspor marking a 9 goal improvement on their margin of defeat the previous week, while Hisar managed a comfortable 2-0 victory over Bakir.

Matchday 8
Yumruk Idman Yurdu recorded their first win of the campaign a lone goal from Alpaslan Reza saw them overcome Bakir. Meanwhile Demirspor beat out city rivals Demir Buyukkentspor 4-1, Vatan Ercetin grabbing a brace as Tayyar Ozel contributed a goal and two assists. In the Eldest-Youngest Derby, Manat played out a draw against Almat in the capital. Hisar continued their strong campaign with a decisive 2-0 win Elektriklestirmespor, Yusuf Akman and Yildirim Agac contributing the goals. Elsewhere Kilicspor clung on to a draw against Urukspor thanks to heroic goalkeeping from Sahin Ozgultekin.

Matchday 9
The obvious best viewing was had at Manat as they ran out 7-4 winners after going 4-0 down in the first 20 minutes against Tashkentspor, Ismail Burhan and Caner Turan exchanged hattricks as defence was put on the backburner for both teams. Yumruk Idman Yurdu followed up their victory with a 3-1 defeat away to Elektriklestirmespor. Meanwhile Hisar stumbled in the Little Brother's Derby as they drew with rivals Almat 1-1 and Demirspor struggled to a 1-1 draw against Uryanspor. Elsewhere Demir Buyukkentspor and Bakir ran out 2-0 and 1-0 winners respectively.

Matchday 10
A bad day to be a home team as no home team managed a win in their own stadium. Yumruk Idman Yurdu will be the least disappointed managing a credible draw at home against Almat. Demirspor were held to a 1-1 draw by a surprisingly resilient Tashkentspor as rivals Manat and Hisar played out a 1-1 draw. Uryansor and Demir Buyukkentspor took the days only wins by a narrow 1-0 margin.

Matchday 11
Manat overcame Demirspor as Ismail Burhan managed to grab a hattrick in their 3-1 win. Hisar showed off their defensive fortitude against a suprisingly strong Yumruk ID team that put the title contenders under considerable pressure until Yusuf Ihsanoglu's last minute goal from 25 yards. Meanwhile Uryan and Bakir played out a 1-1 draw and Almat managed to overcome Urukspor with a last second penalty to escape with all 3 points. Finally Tashkentspor and Elektriklestirmespor ran out winners over Kilicspor and Demir Buyukkentspor respectively.

Matchday 12
The biggest shock of the day came when Manat failed to break through against Yumruk ID, leaving Ismail Burhan and the Manat strikers visibly irritated and frustrated by the end. Demirspor managed to decisively see of Kilicspor away from home, Tayyar Ozel providing both assists as they ran out 2-0 winners. Almat and Uryanspor grabbed important away wins at Elektriklestirmespor and Demir Buyukkentspor while Bakir recorded a narrow 1-0 win over Tashkentspor. Hisar's lack of firepower came to haunt them as Urukspor grabbed a well deserved point with a 78th minute effort from Necmettin Umut saw them draw 1-1.

With the league preparing for the cup break, it seems only more heat has been generated instead of light in terms of who exactly will come out with the glory of the first ever Super League trophy. Hisar and Manat sit at the summit on 27 points, opening a significant gap with city rivals Demirspor who are 4 points behind the leaders. Meanwhile Demir Buyukkent, Yumruk ID and Kilicspor all sit on single figures after 12 games and double digit negative goal differences. The three seem to have been sealed into the relegation fight, with Kilicspor looking especially dismal even compared to Yumruk ID who have managed to be competitive in more matches, their 11-1 annahiliation at the hands of Demirspor notwithstanding.

Dritten Asopie Premer Divizon Season 17 Preview

As the new season approaches, a lot of things happens. People around the Pretitleship are talking about Hallesht United getting a special dozen, Fascgend making a comeback for that Champions Cup place, Charmeine Town looking to impress, the league is flurries with predictions, like Aidoh Capitois not being a Capitois( it means foundation). D'Rosé Rovers are looking to climb to midtable with their permanent signing of Andrew Bunting, Dritten Asopie's all star player. So let's preview to top 7 sides and see what they have in store for us.

Hallesht United

This side has surprised us to many times. Originally the only giant in Asopin football, now it may lose its title to Fascgend Dragons, who look increasing dangerous by the minute. Even though they won only two titles, they've become stronger. Hallesht have to pull up a miracle if they want to complete the Magical Dozen.

Fascgend Dragons
What do you do when you want to win a title? Build a good youth academy. Fascgend won the inaugural season of the DAPD, but fell due to an aging squad. So they decided to freshen up the squad by bringing in young and fresh players. As their academy flourished, others' withered. And hence, they won the 14th season, after being on a great run. They have to work hard if they want to diminished Hallesht's dreams.

Dhigho Okimb United
It's sad to see that this highly ranked side didn't win any titles. They were flanked between past champions and it felt awkward. However, what was meaningful was that way back then, they were just an ordinary midtable side, comparable to present-day Newcastle. But as they changed their tactics over the season, they've become better and better, by still no title. But what they've achieved is patience to climb to the higher section of the table. And they'll need it if they want to be a dark horse.

Bayern Domintien
No one remembers early winners. No one remembers fallen giants. And Domintien is just that. One can be reminded of AC Milan and Deportivo La Coruña, in real life. They've persevered so hard but sometimes hard work doesn't pay off. In fact, in season 6, their players were so overstressed that they couldn't play to their best and got relegated. But now as the new season approaches, they'll have to have some reasonable targets so as to avoid any downfall.

AFC Ardgahen
When it comes to Dritten Asopin football champions few will remember AFC Ardgahen, who won a fairytale title in season 7. Last season they were battling with relegation, only to win the playoffs. But then, fate was in their side and they were rejuvenated very quickly. Perhaps too quickly. Now with reasonable finishes and a recent Saragossa Cup win, they'll be looking for that throne they've been chasing all their lives.

Orfendon Town
I know they're a laughing stock when it comes to stadiums and transfers. But they’ve been powerful for the past few seasons. They even got second place in season 15. But there’s lot of stuff they have to take note of. Their aging offense probably will stop them from scoring too much goals. If they want to do so, they probably would have to buy some new people, which would be a burden following their transfer budget is not that high.

Saifor Qrizzh
If you’re an Pretitler you’ll know that Saifor is the State where Qrizzh is in. And you see, the major sport there is canoeing. So they don't have much of a strong team. But what is crazier is that they were actually leaders for the first half of last season. The last team to wrap up this preview, they could be a surprise us with a potential Saragossa Cup win, following they were in the finals last time.

DREAMPLANET SUPERCUP - SUPERTAÇA DREAMPLANET SEASON 6 (2005-2006)

Coerefente 1-3 Sporting CD

Coerefente and Sporting CD had been 2 of the best teams in recent Dreamplanetian history and they would go head to head in the Supertaça, Coerefente were in the form of their lives and Sporting CD had fallen out of the top 3 for the first time the year before but the match felt even as Coerefente and Sporting CD lost star players, Sporting CD drew first blood with the young striker Tony Costa heading the ball in from a cross just 20 minutes into the game, however Coerefente would equalise in the 37th minute with a close-range finish by Diogo Fontes, making it all square heading into the half time break.

Much like in the Taça final, Sporting CD were able to take control after Antonio Guimarães struck in a deflection home in the 67th minute, unlike Real Island CD, Coerefente were not shaken by the deficit and kept on pushing with their tactic, gaining some very good chances in the process, even having a goal to level the match, which was ruled offside. With 10 minutes to go Coerefente looked beaten and Sporting CD finished them off with another Tony Costa goal, taking the trophy with Sporting CD.

DREAMPLANET LEAGUE - LIGA DREAMPLANET SEASON 6 (2005-2006) - CONCLUSION

As Coerefente collapsed after a transfer window shake-up that saw no players come to Dreamplanet, FC Libon and Sporting CD fought like cats and dogs til the very end, and it was in the Libon Derby at the last matchday that FC Libon won the league, coming in 2 points behind Sporting CD, the win was enough to see them champions by a point.

This would be Sporting CD's first CEdC appearance as Real Island won their first trophy since 1996, Coerefente won the CEdC play-offs by beating Libon United in the final.

DREAMPLANET CUP - TAÇA DREAMPLANET SEASON 6 FINAL REVIEW (2005-2006)
REAL ISLAND CD 3-1 Barta

Barta were another underdog to have made it to the cup final, last time it was Mortinenses and Real Island CD were easily able to brush them aside, the first goal came in 44 seconds as Real Island CD was able to outrun the Barta defenders with a great passing play, culminating with a João Souza strike. The second goal came later on with a piece of magic from Luis da Costa as he scored directly from the corner, there were some discussion as to whether the Barta goalkeeper got a hand to it or not, but the referee gave it to Luis da Costa, it was 2-0 to Real Island CD and Barta did not look likely to come back from it.

In the second half, Real Island CD slowed down the pace but got the goal to definitively kick Barta out of the tie, with an own goal from the Barta defender trying to clear the ball, he skewed the clearance and it looped over the goalkeeper and into the goal. However Real Island CD had a taste of their own medicine when Luis da Costa, who had provided the moment of magic, did a tackle to clear the ball, only to see the ball shoot into his own goal, but with very little time left, this didn't ruin Luis da Costa's or Real Island's day as they were finally able to win their first trophy in 9 years.

Have we alluded to this song before? Yes. Is it still relevant? Apparently so! And we've never done a full-length parody so...here we go.

By the shores of the Deep Blue Lake
Where the Eagles soar and wheel
An old archivist lay searching
Through the dorms for something real.

Around the beds, the Collective had gathered
Wondering if this was it
On their chests, they wore the bright blue shirt
Of their favorite pro club's kits.

She told them "It's late, and it's getting dark in here
I think we should go forth
But before we catch the train
I wonder what's happening up north.

Do they still sing the blues in Arlington
When football season comes along?
Walking through a skyway, will you hear City play
Against another parody song?

When I was a kid, losing was all they did
But now they'll never bring derision
To the home of the files, the land of the chills
As the champions of the first division."

She told them "You know, the law of narratives says
Anything can happen you dream.
But it says, but the last time City won the league
Was the cycle the Free Krytenian Rebels had a World Cup team.

City will make you an archivist, make you save and save as.
You'll become wise to history, that's no lies.
You'll forsake normal formations and discover old nations
In a weird 1-3-4-3.

And then one thing leads to another.
Soon you'll be grabbing baseball, Worldvision, politics
Field hockey, Olympics, but what do you expect

When you save all a young girl's scribbles
And then just delete them like so many Jesselton and Wight RPs
Year after year after year...
...Till those scribbles are just so many muffin crumbs
For the Eagles down in Forbridge to eat."

She said, "You know, we're not like Keppal, blaming our stadium for a curse.
So if you have your pencils and your media guides ready
Then let's sing out another verse."

She said, "Tied with Keppal, two matches remaining
We beat the Oxen, while the Cosmos lost.
They'd beat Bassabook in the end, to chase us
But our defense held on at all costs.

Three forwards pretended to attack,
Three defenders covered lots of grass
And the referees found nothing to criticize
In every on-target pass.

It's a beautiful year for a championship
Hey Masson, guard your glove
Somebody go get those guys at the Moon-Tribune
To use the shade of blue we love.

Have City run right out on the field in Cham
Have Sydney Stefred play wildly out-of-position
Give everybody a glass of water and make them cover their cough
And we'll complete our mission.

Have a victory parade around the venerable plaque
That honors Anyuna, our twins.
Let confetti blow in a beautiful snow
As we huddle in the skyways to evade the wind.

And when the dust settles, even Cham will be glad
Since they'll have qualified too
To the Globe Cup, while we head off
To the Champions' Cup in blue."

The archivist's friends told her to slow it down
They said "take it one day at a time."
She whispered "I know, that's how it should go
But once again, we're sublime."

She said "I'll have to grab data from the CC now
So that' s just what I'm gonna do."
She said "But you, in Forbridge, you're stuck here with the Sparks
Of the trusty old AIU."

And she said "Sound the chords and play the anthem
Add your voices to the strain
This is a day to celebrate
After all the pandemics and pain."

And they're singing the blues in Arlington
When football season rolls around
All amid the snowbanks, there are fans giving thanks
For the players that the club has found

When the MUFN was young, the songs of joy were sung
And though they may be hard to hear
Among those who defend, they never really end
And once again, this was their year.

Champions’ Cup 74: Arlington City, Keppal Cosmos
Globe Cup 71: Namiri Forest, Trebuchet Cham, Canbix Muses
Dwile Invitational Tournament: Arlington City, Keppal Cosmos, Namiri Forest, Trebuchet Cham

by **Zwangzug** » Sun Apr 14, 2019 10:52 am

First Round
Sporting Esper 4–0 Rovers United
Ephesian FC 3–0 Trebuchet Cham
Namiri Forest 0–2 Eintracht Trink
Keppal Cosmos 2–1 Namiri Independent
Arlington City 2–2 Bassabook Old Boys
Canbix Muses 3–0 102d Jr.s
Excelsior Slogda 0–0 Twineur Bugs
Spenson Suburbia 1–1 FTC United

Nebenstimme with the only true upset, via goals from Shinichi Schenbren and Pris Batte-Fuji. Esper lived up to their billing as first seeds, kind of like they're...not doing in the league, with Marlon Sayle-Bren scoring two and Valerie Holyoke and Malachi Jolla recording one apiece. Arlington also struggled to fight on two fronts, with Warren Brenn and Maryam Cespi's goals coming from behind to make up for a Jaime McCahill brace.

Second Round

Sporting Esper 1–0 Ephesian FC
Canbix Muses 1–3 Eintracht Trink
Keppal Cosmos 3–2 Arlington City
Excelsior Slogda 0–0 Spenson Suburbia
Bassabook Old Boys 2–1 Twineur Bugs
FTC United 2–3 Namiri Independent
Namiri Forest 3–0 Trebuchet Cham
102d Jr.s 2–0 Rovers United

Esper, as mentioned, took advantage of that logistical issue to play more games at home. This time Allison Levi-Gold's goal would be enough to give them the edge over Ephesian. Trink continued strong, despite Misako Tsuki retiring to go study, like, mysterious forests of death or something; Kurt Uehara made several fine clearances, and Chisako Giehan had the game-winning goal against a tepid Canbix side.

Slogda are back in their "goals, who needs them" mode, but at least Baran Kuznetsov had some nice headers, which was probably good.

Third Round

Sporting Esper 3–2 Eintracht Trink
Keppal Cosmos 1–1 Bassabook Old Boys
Ephesian FC 0–2 Namiri Forest
Canbix Muses 2–0 Excelsior Slogda
Spenson Suburbia 3–2 Namiri Independent
102d Jr.s 2–2 Arlington City
Twineur Bugs 3–2 FTC United
Rovers United 1–0 Trebuchet Cham

Roll on the Robins! Sayle-Bren was on form again, as he and Teagan Chadwick-Sun scored to come from behind against Trink. Giehan had opened the game with a long goal from the edge of the box, which is probably a thing that the cool kids say.

Keppal were unlucky to surrender a late goal to McCahill, with Paige Wacker's goal in the thirteenth minute having been the difference for most of the game. They will face Esper in the final round, and probably not be very happy about it. Cham, never defensive at the best of times, have cause for concern as Lolicia pulled a...whatever it is zebras pull, but she is expected to be back in a couple weeks.

Fourth Round

Sporting Esper 1–0 Keppal Cosmos
Namiri Forest 0–2 Canbix Muses
Eintracht Trink 0–0 Spenson Suburbia
Bassabook Old Boys 1–0 102d Jr.s
Twineur Bugs 2–3 Ephesian FC
Arlington City 3–0 Namiri Independent
Excelsior Slogda 1–1 Rovers United
FTC United 1–3 Trebuchet Cham

A goal from Trevor Mellis against the run of play was enough for Esper, who duly secured the mass transit instrument to Keppal's petulance. Then again, the Robins have had somewhat of a falloff from last season, so there actually was something to play for.

And we got a Bassabook-102d showdown, always fun. Kevin Ornati's free kick was the only source of offense, after a dreadful tackle by Noemi Green.

Final
Culver College 1–2 Fleinhardt College

The Fleinhardt Starfish go one better than last time, overcoming the Culver Greens in the final, while GIONS (as they are inevitably known) hopefully entertained the purists. Also, because there's so much player turnover among these teams, note that their tactical styles are adjusting a bit every season. Verisimilitude!

The Recuecian National Football Association suffered a collapse, two thirds of the way through its third season. However, a couple dozen UICA cycles later, the Recuecian government took the initiative and prodded the RNFA back together, and decided to resume competition by finishing out the season from before. UICA qualifiers would be chosen as normal, despite the strange timing.

FLAVOVESPIA FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The Flavovespian Football League returns for it's 26th season since being re-established under the new format in 1AU. The format for each division is 16 teams who play 30 games, home and away against every other team. The top tier is the Super League, with the Champions qualifying for the UICA Champions Cup and 2nd and 3rd qualifying for the Globe Cup. with the bottom 3 teams relegated to the Challenge League. In the Challenge League, 1st and 2nd are automatically promoted. 3rd-6th play home-and-away playoff matches, with the 2 winners facing off in a neutral site one off tie. The bottom 4 of the Challenge League are relegated to the Western or Eastern League. In the Western League and Eastern League, only the champions are automatically promoted. 2nd-5th go through the same play-off format outlined above. Bottom 3 in each division are relegated to the non-league Western/Eastern Alliance D1, which contains 2 tiers, one of 2 concurrent divisions and 1 of 4 concurrent divisions.

A national cup, the Flavovespia Gold Cup exist for all 160 teams in the League and 2 non-league tiers. The winners of that, if not already qualified for the Globe Cup, will qualify for it (4th place in the Super League takes the berth otherwise). The draw is unseeded, with one-legged knockout matches. The Top 32 teams in the nation enter in Round 2, with the 32 Tier 3 teams entering in Round 1, 32 Tier 4 teams entering the second preliminary round, and the other 64 teams enter the first preliminary round. Secondary cup competitions for the 64 League teams, and the 96 non-league teams, called the League Cup and Alliance Shield are also played for, but are less prestigious than the Flavovespia Gold Cup.

Binclestead Wood FC are playing in the Challenge League for the first time in the modern era, ending a quarter century in the Super League. With their squad and finances, it would take a brave man to bet against them returning to the top flight at the first time of asking. Henhaven Islanders & Narrock Wood United also suffered relegation in 25AU, but their battle for an automatic promotion spot will not be an easy task for them. Capton Club, South Maishop FC & Croxlich FC, relegated in 24AU, all made the promotion playoffs in 25AU but fell short, and should be back up the top of the Challenge League again, fighting for promotion.

Rumlington Rovers FC came 7th last year, falling slightly short of play-off expectations. Not a traditional Super League level side, they do however have the potential if the squad comes together to make a run at the playoffs or even one of the 2 automatic promotion spots. Millsea FC were 8th last year, and another top half finish would probably be a pleasant surprise to the St Aston's based side.

Batchingtonwood Rovers FC and Cartswood FC are another 2 sides never to play in the Super League. Both have dreams of a play-off space, but ultimately a season without major relegation fears would leave both of them content. The 2 sides probably have as much chance of a Top 6 finish than a Bottom 4 finish based on their relative strengths. Havermilly FC once looked poised to finally break into the Super League a few years back, but suffered relegation in 23AU, followed by promotion back to the Challenge League in 24AU. 11th place was a disappointment despite their newly promoted status, not least as rivals Guildwell Football were promoted to the Super League for the first time ever. Oxwich FC narrowly avoided relegation last season, and would like to avoid coming close to yet more seasons in the Eastern League again.

Abbots Lunsel FC suffered the ignominy of third tier football for the first time ever in 25AU, and watched their hated rivals Kings Lunsel FC win the Super League. Back up as Eastern League champions with a comprehensive division win, they should be strong enough to avoid relegation, and some even whisper of a play-off finish and a double promotion. Old Marthorpe FC are almost the opposite, playing in the Challenge League for the first time ever and winning the Western League on the final day. However, as with many newcomers and smaller teams in the Challenge League, avoiding relegation will be a big ask. Hopford FC and Nailwood Mills FC came up through their respective playoffs, and as two teams with a bit of a "yo-yo reputation", they will also most likely be in the relegation fight.

Torpedo stands triumphant

PFK Torpedo have successfully managed to win the national championship of Chokashia after more than a decade. This will be their third league trophy in the history of the club. The final The penultimate matchday was the one which sealed the fate of PFK Torpedo but also its bitter rivals KSS and Dynamo. Torpedo firmly secured its position in the League on matchday 29 when it won the much needed match against Vorsha 04 with a result of 1-2. The fans were very satisfied with this result and with the new coach which was brought to the team last season. Ivan Belomoroz, a veteran football player, proved himself as a very good tactician and a 'general of the football army of Torpedo". Last season Torpedo finished 5th just beind Svislach which was fourth, that was a much better result than the one "Greens" had three seasons ago when the team was struggling behind the 10th.
KSS and Dynamo Vorsha finished second and third, while Vorsha 04 is just behind them on the fourth. The "Railwaymen" and the "Fishers" are just behind on fifth and sixth respectively. With this final result we now know which clubs will represent our country in international competetions. Torpedo and KSS will be heading to face off the best of the best in the Aeian Champions Cup, while Dynamo, Vorsha 04 and Zaliznychnyk will be heading to the Asuran League where they will face the best of Asura.
