1093 Club de Atlantea
Ground:Cattle Ranch (20,000)
Manager:Axel Pieties
Colors:White and Yellow
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Finish Top 5
Starters:Horst, Rigard, Lafitte*, Renteria, Drake, Santiago, Lukes, McMichael, Feirce, Olsen, Kahn
ReservesEverett, Avery, Hornsby, Hornet, Wright
Sponsor:Sound Wave Electronics
Nickname(s):Cardinal
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Nathan Rigard from Ojian Orangemen. Promoted youth squad midfielder Ryan Hornet.
Championships:Other Accolades:Last Season Finish:4th
Team Info The recently successful side from Atlantea, 1093 continues to impress while their more impressive historically rivals Hurricanes and Real continue to be rather sad to watch. The Cardinal have managed a few nice years and continue to be favorites to soon come into a chance to battle for the title. With the recent success of Taeshan City pretty much anyone is likely to push for the title.
Atlantea Hurricanes
Ground:Atlantea Coliseum 590,000
Manager:Alexandre Giroux
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys: Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Finish Top Half
Starters:Pacabel, Franz, Fassiono, Baker, Pern, Nguyen, Falanae**, de Vries**, Rhodes*,**, Hutch, Martin
ReservesBandito, Foster, Jones, Caracas, Gallagher
Sponsor:Atlantea Business Association
Nickname(s):Hurricanes, Canes
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad defender Aidan Foster. Bought Center Back Johnson Pern from Ojian Orangemen. Bought Right Forward Matt Martin from Yaton United.
Championships: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 21, 24, 26, 36
Other Accolades: Globe Cup 18 Runners Up, Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 4, 14, Benevolence Bowl Winners 1
Last Season Finish:15th
Team Info Atlantea have continued their lackluster form of recent years and honestly are not really expected to do much beyond comfortably stay top flight. That said they continue to buy up young players and with the additions to the roster of U21 center back Johnson Pern and other young strong players they hope to in a few years push back towards the top of the table.
Bayern Phoenix
Ground:Old Club Stadium 77,000
Manager:Duncan Kanchlskis
Colors:Red and Blue
Jerseys: Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Finish top half
Starters:Bender, Posluzny, Boynton, Herring**, Harrison**, Ashley, Cromwell**, Grose, Vanderweil, Lupei, Kepler
ReservesKarlton, Halifax, Weaver, Barnes, Yelnats
Sponsor:Glendale Pharmacy
Nickname(s):Phoenix
Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Jim Bender from Williams Isle.
Championships:20, 25, 27, 28, 29
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 1, 20, Youth Cup 6 Winners
Last Season Finish:19th
Team Info Bayern was unlucky for much of last season as many of their top players missed key games. They haven’t been the brightest side the last few years and it showed for much of last year. That said with a bright young player like Vanderweil in the midfield if the rest of the team can get some successful togetherness than they may battle for a top 10 position.
Bayern-Algaer
Ground:Bayern Stadium 24,000
Manager:Aaron Opare
Colors:Red and Black
Jerseys: Fan Support:High
Expectations:Top 5
Starters:Smith, Smith, O’Malley**, Tina, Stevenson, Joxx, McCoy, Jewsbury, Petersheim, Johnson, Fortunae
ReservesAllison, Kopp, LaRaine, Bond, Michael
Sponsor:Weaver, Smith and Wrangler
Nickname(s):Weavers
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Kyle Tina from Ojian Orangemen. Bought Goalkeeper Tyler Smith from Yaton United. Bought Right Back Kentonson Smith from Williams Isle.
Championships:17, 22, 23, 32, 51
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 17
Last Season Finish:2nd
Team Info The Weavers continue to be a very strong side once again returning to the Champions’ Cup. They play well, they work well together and if last season is any indication they are likely to continue to push for the top of the table. That said with 3 of their back four changing in the offseason it could be a very interesting next few months of the season to see how they combine.
Blacklake Blues
Ground:Blacklake Blues Ballpark 79,000
Manager:Karl Ash
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Compete for a Title
Starters:Jingleheimer-Smitt, Matterhorn, Herlekson**, Gregory, Oliver, Baines, Vazquez**, Hébert**, van Neymar*, Vonyas, Walker
Reserves:Andresen, Bones, Carnes, Durant, Mars
Sponsor:Blacklake Brewery
Nickname(s):Blues
Offseason Moves: Championships:Other Accolades:Last Season Finish:17th
Team Info Blacklake is a very strong contender for a top half season as they rode out a lot of bad injuries in the last season and continue to have most of their team together. With a strong contingent of players who play for international sides they really have a healthy look about them and could push for something in the upcoming season.
Capetown Crocs
Ground:Capetown Stadium 34,000
Manager:Doug Lewis
Colors:Black and Green
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Finish Mid Table
Starters:Dufailloy**, Becker, Boyd, Antero, Smitt, Jave, Fester, Gordon, Mauer, Arrendale, Green
ReservesFinito, Wright, James, Jeffrey, Kline
Sponsor:TMI Lighting
Nickname(s):Crocs, The Ancients
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad defender Steven Wright. Bought Yaton United Central Midfielder Jack Gordon.
Last Season Finish:15th
Team Info Capetown has returned to relative obscurity at the bottom half of the table. With many of their players returning to form that has most of the people who come to Capetown Stadium wishing they had the money of the league’s best teams. The side hasn’t done much in the past few years since reaching higher heights and doesn’t seem likely to continue to fight for top half finishes.
Celtic Rangers F.C.
Ground:Celtic Park 50,000
Manager:Micheal Jeanette
Colors:Blue and Green
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Okposo, Irwin, Sellus, Neal, Baker, Connoly, Kiln, Jelton. Coswalt, Denisov, Jacks
Reserves Green, Pryce, Cooper, Daniels, Smith
Sponsor:Chocomilk
Nickname(s):Rangers
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Midfielder Mark Connoly from Yaton United.
Last Season Finish:9th
Team Info: Celtic Rangers have been a revelation in their return to the top flight. A top 10 finish after a strong first year and many people seem to think they could even see some international play. With a strong team that includes two national team hopefuls and a bunch of other young and hungry players Celtic could be a strong part of the league moving forward.
Fadrön Flight
Ground:Fadrön University Field 89,000
Manager:Benjamin Wright
Colors:Green and Red
Jerseys: Fan Support:Low

Starters:Troubador, Cortez, Paparian**, Stevenson, Bentley, Gomez**, Montague, Figeuroa, Fotan**, Bender, Slater
Reserves:Calvin, Cartwright, Jacobs, Prince, Jiminez

Nickname(s):Flight, Flyers
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Jason Cortez from Yaton United. Bought Right Back Michael Bentley from Ojian Orangemen.
Championships: Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 19, Youth Cup 1 Winners
Last Season Finish:11th
Team Info Fadron Flight have been a top side for decades and continue to finish in the top half of the league basically every year. Perhaps the brightest young side in the league with 4 u21 national team players and starting Goalkeeper Xavier Troubador. The team as a whole looks strong and hopefully as they move forward they can push for their first title.
Hannah
Ground:The Field (23,000)
Manager:Max Olange
Colors:Red and White
Jerseys: Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters:Connoly, Villanueva, Carbonara, Kennedy, Vegas, Baker, Potter, Benito, Vader, Baines, Parkes
Reserves Henry, Parsons, Carlisle, Zhandov III**, Cotteril
Sponsor: Nickname(s):Hoppers
Offseason Moves: Other Accolades:Last Season Finish:20th
Team Info Hannah has faltered in the past few seasons and besides national team winger Anton Vader the team really does not possess any sort of ability to attack and does not really have any young players that seem likely to push the team moving forward. As a whole the hope on the mainland peninsula is not great for the side.
Knightspurs
Ground:The Dome 92,300
Manager:Barry Conrad
Colors:Purple and Powder Blue
Jerseys: Fan Support:High
Expectations:Compete for Globe Cup Spot
Starters: Parker, Focker, Keens, Lupin**,*, Crane, Everett, Klingenberg, Sunshine**, Parsons, Wanner, Langweiler
Reserves Swann, Green, Grant, Cartwright, Quan
Sponsor:Tae-Mart
Nickname(s):Spurs, Knights
Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Jess Parker from Williams Isle. Bought Right Back Joseph Everett from Yaton United. Named Marius Lupin captain.
Other Accolades:Last Season Finish:18th
Team Info Knightspurs have been up and down in the past few years and have pushed a lot for success in the league. But that said they are not the team they were back in the day when they had pushed for success and played internationally. Now they continue to be a interesting team, with three really young players that could push them towards success or make them a lot of money, especially the young stud Geoffrey Klingenberg.
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, Lalinga**, Martin, van Daale**, Alessio, Horst, Kellyn, Falvey*, Hunt**, Billingsley, Tsukuyomi**
Reserves: Bolton, Coshan, Long, George, Fish
Sponsor:Laketown Police Academy
Nickname(s):Rangers
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad members Daigo Coshan and Albert Fish. Bought Center midfielder Jake Kellyn.
Championships:31, 33, 34, 35, 53
Other Accolades: Benevolence Bowl 17
Last Season Finish:14th
Team Info Rangers have not been their usual self ever since the Taeshan City Miners have pushed to the top of the league. After their fifth title the Rangers really lacked much of the play many are used to from the side. The flair of the Sebastian Rousseau days are long gone and the team really seems unlikely to push for the title again soon.
Los Riosa Monstas
Ground:Gangsters Park 99,000
Manager:Greg Loshie
Colors:Blue and Yellow
Jerseys: Fan Support:High
Expectations: Low Pack
Starters:Breaker, Luiz, Yound, Chestnut, Tyler, Smithfield, Bones, Shelby, Kline, Montevideo**, Alabastor
ReservesJacobs, Gordon, Stevenson, Clark, Grace
Sponsor:Taeshan Mob
Nickname(s):Monstas, Gangstas
Offseason Moves: Championships:16
Other Accolades: Last Season Finish:1st Erste Liga
Team Info Los Riosa won the second division rather handily and joining them is city rivals Poseidon in their maiden Premier league season. The Monstas continue to be a strong lower table team and seem likely to at least stay in the top division. With a backline still anchored by Andrew Chestnut they can definitely at least stay in the top flight.
Mierton Manatees
Ground:Mierton Area Park
Manager:Orson Kyle
Colors:Blue and White
Jerseys: Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Fight for Globe Cup Spot
Starters:Drew, Scott, Parkes , Reinhold, Wells**, Marstons, Mathieu, Pellin, Cantebury, Teodore**, Tennyson
ReservesBaker, Alex, Manning, Flute, Larson
Sponsor:No Doubt Apparel
Nickname(s):Manatees
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad members Adam Baker and Harold Flute. Bought Center midfielder Elaine Mathieu from Yaton United.
Championships: Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 23 and 24
Last Season Finish:7th
Team Info Mierton really pushed for a top five position in the last season but come the end of the season they fell just short. With two youngster in the lineup in Cantebury and their new addition of Mathieu they may not be just ready to once again fight for a title, but they definitely are getting closer each season to finally getting their first championship.
Mt Ceabring Thunder
Ground:Stairway to Heaven (90,000)
Manager:Jeffrey Charlies
Colors:Brown and Cream
Jerseys: Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Low Table
Starters: Jess, Baker, Fasnacht, Trueblood, Myers, Gemini, Stadler, Perry, Carson, Avlarez, Jackson
ReservesTruex, Kline, Talbot, Jason, Torres
Sponsor:Kane Industries
Nickname(s):Thunder
Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Alabastor Jess from Mt Ceabring Thunder.
Championships: Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 21
Last Season Finish:22nd
Team Info Mt Ceabring’s first attempt at the premier league in a few years did not go well but an easily won game in a relegation playoff and like most premier league sides who make those matches managed to push to stay in the top flight. Perhaps the most interesting thing for this team moving forward is they have the brightest young center backs in the league with Fasnacht and Trueblood who in a few years could be the best duo in the world, let alone Taeshan.
New Capetown Falcons
Ground:New Capetown Memorial Park 100,111
Manager:Jason Vandersmitt
Colors:Pink, Red and Grey
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Compete for Cup
Starters:Suarez**, Sheen, Bryde, Johannessen**, Grace, Colony, Dresden, Petersheim, Emanuel**, Greenshire, Washington
ReservesAvery, Prichards, Goshen, Eevily, Adams
Sponsor:Falcon Brewery
Nickname(s):Falcons
Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad striker Jordan Adams. Bought Center midfielder Benson Colony from Williams Isle.
Championships:39
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 15, 22, 23 , Benevolence Bowl Winners 3, 4, 14, 18
Last Season Finish:6th
Team Info New Capetown has had a quite resurgence in the past few years and it is no wonder with a midfield anchored by Ensign Petersheim and fellow national teamer Tavon Greenshire. With a young defender on the bench in Prichards the team has a lot of hope moving forward for the team. They should continue to fight in the upcoming years for spots in international play and maybe their second ever championship.
New Capetown Nordiques
Ground:New Capetown Arena (22,000)
Manager:Heinrich Muller
Colors:Green, White and Purple
Jerseys: Fan Support:Low

Starters: Hewitt, Melchoir, Simon, Bolivar, Cansius, Lichtsteinter, Bradley, Ace, Collins, Baker, Orlando
ReservesValpack, Alvares, Gonzalez, Shanghai, Kyle
Sponsor:Nickname(s): Nordiques
Offseason Moves: Last Season Finish:21st
Team Info The other side from New Capetown has fallen back to where many people would have expected them to finish in their first few seasons in the top flight. Behind a team that honestly doesn’t have any real stars they have managed to be strong in the past few years. That said they are once again favorites to drop sometime soon and seem unlikely to put in much of a fight.

ReservesJean, Borja, Applesby, Canada, Vegas
Sponsor:Fisher Realty
Nickname(s): Tridents
Offseason Moves:Last Season Finish:2nd Erste Liga
Championships:Team InfoThe newest team to enter the premier league for the first time is the younger brother in Los Riosa. The tridents haven’t been around long in Taeshani league terms but have been a bright side since their first seasons. With promotions in quick succession in early years they have finally managed to fight their way to the top division. Now the real thing to see is if they can stay in the top flight and do anything.

ReservesCarp, Benvolio, Kyle, Karl, van Houten
Sponsor:Poplaberg
Nickname(s):The Shepherds
Offseason Moves: Named Craig Grasmere captain. Promoted youth squad midfielder Andrew Karl
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
Last Season Finish:5th
Team Info Atlantea were the winners of the fight for fifth place and a spot in the Globe Cup, and with a team that continues to have the most international players in the league it is likely that they can push for another title in the upcoming season. The big news is that central midfielder Sahler Moon will likely get his first starts in the upcoming year and hopefully will be able to move the team forward towards winning the title again.
Real Chinchinhua
Ground:Real Stadium on the Lake 99,001
Manager:Grant Holsum
Colors:Red and Purple
Jerseys: Fan Support:Very High
Expectations:Compete for Championship
Starters:Mitton, Gomez, Vihljalmsson**, Cancun, de Almeida**, Simpson, Carnes, Fuegahita, Ünterhausen**, Pontecorvide*, Silver
Reserves Parker, Marksman, Faulkner, Grey, Gallaudet
Sponsor:Water Solutions of Lake Minor
Nickname(s):Chihuahuas
Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Karl Gomez from Ojian Orangemen.
Championships:18, 19
Other Accolades: Last Season Finish:10th
Team Info Real Chinchinhua was able to finish in the top 10 last season as they continue to be a strong side. The midfield duo of Unterhausen and Fuegahita have been a strong part of their success and as they continue to work together it seems likely that in the next few years they could be the best duo in the league and maybe get the team’s first championship in almost 40 years.
Sleepy Hollow
Ground:Mort Field (69,000)
Manager:Joseph Anderson
Colors:Black, White and Gray
Jerseys: Fan Support:Low
Expectations:Middle Pack
Starters:Javier, Patterson, Ogletree, Galbert, Connors, Benitez, Cortez**, Diego, Braingwright, Juergen, Blue

Offseason Moves: Bought Left Back Taylor Patterson from Yaton United. Bought Right Striker Jalee Blue from Williams Isle
Championships: Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 25, Youth Cup 2 Winners
Last Season Finish:16th
Team Info Sleepy Hollow has returned to the bottom part of the league and with not many strong players the team as a whole seems unlikely to put much of an effort forward in the upcoming season. They really don’t have a lot of bright spots and to be completely honest they could find themselves in the relegation fight.
Taeshan City Miners
Ground:Taeshan Educators Park 56,000
Manager:Evander Peters

Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters:Poulsen, Forrest, Laranas**, al-Alma**, Selis, Yaguinho**, Champlain, McKay**, Hewitt, Diego, Patterson
ReservesBelvedere**, Mitchell, McCain, Gregory, Salazar

Nickname(s):Miners
Offseason Moves: Bought Goalkeeper Peter Poulsen from Ojian Orangemen. Bought Right Back Kent Selis from Williams Isle.
Championships: 54, 55, 56, 57
Other Accolades: Youth Cup 5 , 8 Champs, Benevolence Bowl 19, Fadron Pizza Cup 25 Champions
Last Season Finish:1st
Team Info Taeshan City has made it four titles in a row and the team continues to be the best side in the league. Four seasons of winning is hard to continue to replicate but with a strong youth side and the money that continually winning the league brings they could continue to win the title. That said their offseason replacements lack much inspiration and the fear in the city is that they won’t be a big part of the league moving forward.
Tintown Terrapins
Ground:Tintown Stadium 23,000
Manager:Everett Swann

Offseason Moves: Promoted youth squad members Andy Clint and Uruk Baylor. Bought Right Back Adam Baker from Yaton United.
Championships:30
Other Accolades: Fadron Pizza Cup Winners 26
Last Season Finish:13th
Team Info Tintown really hasn’t been at the height of its league status and for the most part hasn’t been pushing for any sort of top 5 spot, but they do have a lot of promising young players. With Randall Abl Bakr in the midfield there is a lot of hope in Tintown that they may be able to replicate the season they won the title.
X Island Marauders

Offseason Moves: Bought Center midfielder Frederick Smith (Audioslavia) from 1830 Cathair. Bought Left Back Arnold Brown from Williams Isle. Bought Left Midfielder Johann Drice from Ojian Orangemen.
Championships:14
Other Accolades:Last Season Finish:9th
Team Info X Island has been pushing in the last few seasons and with some nice offseason moves including a young center midfielder from Audioslavia, Frederick Smith. The additions of a whole new left side also have the fans excited for the upcoming season and for the most part it seems likely that the team could push for success in the next season.
Yaton FC
Ground:Yaton Insurance Park 88,000
Manager:Anderson Jamison
Colors:Blue and Yellow
Jerseys: Fan Support:Medium
Expectations:Avoid Relegation
Starters: Coblentz, Peterson, Ylvis, Masterson, Pruitt, Simmers, Quinones, Drake, Stuart, Grandhouse, Gomez
Reserves Paisley, Gorner, Martin, Smith, Park

Nickname(s):SeaMonsters
Offseason Moves: Bought Center Back Ken Masterson from Yaton United. Bought Left Forward Kyle Grandhouse from Ojian Orangemen.
Championships:2
Other Accolades: Youth Cup 3, 4, 7 Winners
Last Season Finish:6th
Team Info Yaton FC has turned itself into a top of the table team once again and with a strong midfield and an interesting attack, with Youth Cup wins in three seasons it is not hard to see why. If they can continue to grow they can likely fight for a title in the next few seasons and that hasn’t been seen in Yaton for 50 years.
