Challengers’ Cup: Estadio Zachary Fortin, Metropolis (Cap. 50,304)

The Valladar Football Association along with the Board of Marinos Metropolis are hereby presenting Estadio Zachary Fortin to the consideration of the IFCF as a potential venue for the final match of the upcoming Challengers’ Cup.

Estadio Zachary Fortin is the newest stadium built in Valladares, with a capacity of 50,304 spectators. It was built at the exact same place where Marinos' first stadium (Estadio Lino Ferreira) was located, in Parque Rushmore in the heart of the City of Metropolis between the Obrero, Buitrera, and San Fernando neighborhoods, which are considered as the historical cradle of football in Metropolis and is served by the San Fernando Metro station and the Parque Rushmore MetroBus (Metropolis' BRT system) station. This state-of-the-art stadium includes 4 changing rooms with areas ranging from 150 m² to 300 m², an adjacent auxiliary training field, 176 private boxes from 12 to 20 seats, a panoramic restaurant, cafes, shops, a convention center with modular structure for up to 1,000 visitors which works as a media center during matchdays, a space for the club's museum in the southwestern corner, and an adjacent covered parking for up to 2,000 cars, with exclusive spaces for motorcycles and bikes. In addition to this, all of the stadium's 50,304 seats are fully covered by the roof, which ensures all fans in attendance at matches there are safe from the sun and rain. This stadium was opened during the 52nd Liga-1 season, which ended with Marinos winning their fifth domestic title and establishing a record by winning all the games they played there, and already has experience hosting important club football decider matches, having received Pasarga's CA Paulinthal and Electrum's Centralis Heart for the final of the 41st Champions Cup, won by the latter.

Mercedinian Premier League

[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]

To whom it may concern,

As you may know, the past couple of months have been quite a challenge for many of us, not least the hundreds of sporting events which have been cast aside due to fears over the COVID-19 pandemic. Here at the MFA, we have taken every precaution to limit the spread of Coronavirus in our communities, and with advice from medical experts and the government, we have decided to make the difficult decision to suspend all sporting-related activities in the Mercedini for at least four weeks.

This means many different things for many different people, and we understand the precarious positions many individuals and teams may find themselves in, following these announcements. With no sports taking place in the Mercedini, the MPL and those teams in leagues beneath have found their seasons cut short before it has even begun. With IFCF and FFI deadlines looming for our leagues, we have put out this urgent announcement to explain the MFA's position on our qualifying teams, so other tournaments that rely on the information from our domestic leagues are not affected.

The MFA is proud to join the family of associations which regularly compete in the IFCF and the FFI, and we wish all associations the best in their efforts of fighting through these tough times, irrespective of the severity of their troubles. We want to continue to compete in the region's and the multiverse's premier club tournament, and have made every effort to ensure that Mercedini can see international club football on our pitches for another season.

Attached is a copy of the latest league table for the Mercedinian Premier League (1st tier) and National League 1 (2nd tier) up to the point that activity was suspended and the league was concluded. We have consulted with all teams from the 1st to the 4th tiers of Mercedinian football and have come to a consensus that promotions and relegations will not be performed due to the lack of results. That being said, IFCF and FFI spots still need to be filled, with MPL and NL1 teams also agreeing to honour the typical IFCF and FFI allocation that would otherwise take place.

MPL - 1st and 2nd placed teams qualify for IFCF Champions' League
MPL - 1st and 2nd placed teams qualify for FFI Liga dos Vencedores
MPL - 3rd, 4th and 5th placed teams qualify for IFCF Challenger's Cup
MPL - 6th placed team qualify FFI Copa das Confederações
NL1 - 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed teams qualify for IFCF Liga B Champion's Trophy

As the MFA Cup had only concluded it's First Round fixtures, there has not been a winner of the nation's premier-cup competition this season. As a result, last season's champions, Dynamo Shebchetsik, will be awarded the nation's Cup Winner's Cup berth should this application be successful.

We appeal for leniency from the IFCF and the FFI when it comes to these unprecedented times. Mercedini had been a part of the IFCF and it's predecessor for the past eight seasons, with many magical moments being played in it's plethora of tournaments. We hope that may continue.

Please see attached the relevant league tables to see how Mercedini has allocated it's tournament slots. These have stayed consistent with previous seasons, with clear annotations as to which teams finished where, and their respective tournament berths where applicable.

Turorian clubs dominated the Tropicorp Lower League's 18th season with Sokattack Mliona leading the way with 68 points having lost just 3 of the 29 matches played over the course of the season. The highlight for Sokattack was a 9-1 victory over the Morata Divers at the Sokattack Stadium that was a club record result. For a time it appeared that all four teams advancing to the Tropicorp Cup could be Turorian though the pride of the Capital City - Alikki-Corra FC, ultimately established itself in second place as they looked for a return to the Vilitan League. It was a tight battle for the fourth and final spot in the Tropicorp Cup behind last seasons highest performing league team, Cednia Rovers. Ultimately, Turorian side Sporta Eelandii Nationals held on by a single goals difference over the Lopinka Rovers to secure the place.

It would end up being a critical goal setting up the Nationals with a matchup against league leaders Sokattack Mliona in Tropicoast. While Sporta Eelandii were outmatched for long stretches of the game, they had equalized with a second half penalty kick and then held on through 120 minutes to force a penalty shootout. In the decisive session, Sporta Eelandii emerged victorious 4-3 to claim the upset win over the favored Sokattack Mliona side and deny them a potential rivalry initiating Declasse opposition with Mliona-Lpaka AFC. In the other match, Alikki-Corra made the most of their second place finish in the league to earn a return to the Declasse Division and a spot in the Tropicorp Cup Final.

In the Final, Vilitan Under-21 Goalkeeper Striitca Virahat kept Sporta Eelandii off the scoresheet until the 88th minute, at which point the game was well in the books for Alikki-Corra FC who would go on to win their first ever Tropicorp Cup title by a scoreline of 3-1. For Sporta Eelandii, it was a record third appearance in the Tropicorp Cup final though the first time they had ever lost the Cup with a 1-0 victory over Crosaibi Locals in the 6th edition and a 3-0 win, a Cup record, during the 15th Tropicorp Cup over the competitions inagural champions Jaguar Moreda. Despite the defeat, Eelandii will return to the Declasse Division for Season 61 where they will hope to improve on their all time best Declasse placement of 6th.

:: Season 60 ::

RECOGNIZED PLAYER STATISTICS

The Vilitan Stellar Division's Recognized International Player Stasticial reporting has undergone a complete overhaul in celebration of the completion of play in the Vilitan League's 60th season. Historically, the Vilitan League have only reported out statistics of so-called "Recognized International" Players. These players include all foreign-born players who have joined the Vilitan League through the official player transfer process, generally players who are in the National Team Player pool of their home country. In addition, all players who are part of the Official Player Pool for the Vilitan National Team and the National Team of the Island Emirate of Turori otherwise known as the Turorian National Citizen Squad, are also included in end of season reporting. For the first time, the Vilitan Stellar Division will begin recognizing the season-long contribution of so called "Recognized Local Players". These are the other player on the roster of Stellar Division clubs who are not a part of their home countries National Team Player or Prospect Pool. The Vilitan League system has a proud history of locally trained players and a 'team first' mantra. While Jungle Strike FC won the 60th Vilitan Stellar Division without a single Vilitan National Team player on their roster and have succesfully demonstrated the ability to create a super team of international players to maintain a place atop the Stellar Division standings, other teams have put cohesiveness and long-term stability ahead of star talent. Most notably at the Turoki Community Complex, championship teams including Turoki United and the Turoki Tide have been hugely succesful in the Vilitan League's Modern Era with only a handful of Recognized International players on their roster. While most local players in the Vilitan Stellar Division are highly skilled local players from the city of their home club, some may have foreign connections either through relatives or their own foreign birth which could deem them eligible to play for a foreign National Team. As this is the first edition of the new-and-improved Recognized ~~International~~ Player Statistical Report, it is certain that there will be errors. Any errors should be reported directly to the Vilita and Turori Association Football Federation (VATAFF).

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XV - PART ONE

The O-League celebrates its fifteenth season with the two-tone blue ribbons of Avidia United adorning the Gabriel Kennedy Trophy. Can the Eagles, retain, or can the Mercian giants topple them? Could Emberton Reds or Ashton cause a ruckus? And what of the new boys? Let the season begin!

MATCHDAY 1
The Champions' Kick-Off sees Avidia United hammer Casuals at the New City to top the first table of the season. There's routine wins for Mercia and Ousevale, but it's Leston who sit proudly in second after a comfortable victory at home to Bradwell. Norton, meanwhile, are the only promoted side not to score a point - though all three teams failed to score.

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

MATCHDAY 2
Beckton have a reputation of being spoilers, and that continues as they took two points off the Eagles. Ousevale, meanwhile, stuck seven past the Reds, whilst Royals and Mercia notched up big wins. The latter, by the way, saw Casuals ship four for the second week running; not surprisingly, they're currently bottom.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 7-1 Emberton Reds
Norton 1-1 New Cefn Albion
Adanac City 2-0 Caledon Simpson
Royal Emberton 4-0 Avidia City
Stanton Town 2-1 Bromham City
Casuals Osteria 1-4 Mercia Bromham
Bradwell Saints 1-2 Caversham
Beckton Supermarine 1-1 Avidia United
Notegia Rangers 1-0 Leston Town
Westleigh Athletic 0-2 Ashton Olympic

MATCHDAY 3
Ousevale are officially "on one". Fresh from demolishing the Reds, it's Adanac next to the guillotine as they're hit for six. Mercia could only muster a point against - who else? - Beckton, and the Tigers have a two-point cushion.

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

MATCHDAY 4
Four games in, and six teams left undefeated. Ousevale are still on maximum points, though Stanton at least made them work; Avidia United, Mercia, and Ashton are the chasing pack. Further down, Notegia in sixth are looking useful with two wins and two draws so far.

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

MATCHDAY 5
Talk about your commentator's curse. No sooner do we mention there are six undefeated teams, three lose that status the very next weekend. Notegia's may be the least surprising, United's reverse at Caversham was just sloppy, but we expected better from Olympic, who gave us the first win for a promoted team this season when they were turned over by Bromham City.

Bradwell Saints, meanwhile, have quietly sunk to the bottom after shipping half a dozen to the league leaders.

Results:
Emberton Reds 1-1 Royal Emberton
Adanac City 0-1 Stanton Town
Norton 1-1 Casuals Osteria
Ousevale Borough 6-0 Bradwell Saints
New Cefn Albion 1-1 Beckton Supermarine
Caledon Simpson 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Avidia City 1-0 Westleigh Athletic
Bromham City 2-0 Ashton Olympic
Mercia Bromham 2-0 Leston Town
Caversham 3-2 Avidia United

MATCHDAY 6
Avidia United losing to Bromham isn't usually an eyebrow-raiser. Then again, it's usually Mercia rather than City. The new boys deliver a gut punch to the reigning champions, who slip to fourth.

Ousevale remain top of the table with theit 100% record intact - Notegia the latest victims - whilst Mercia keep up the chase with an almost insultingly easy win over Caversham.

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

KFA CUP ROUND ONE
The lower league sides enter the competition here, including last season's Premier Division relegatees. For Kovenham, this means a very short cup run, as they were beaten by Aylesford. Ousevale Juniors' loss to Yraglac, meanwhile, is less of a cause of celebration for the former as it is proof of how far the latter have fallen.

MATCHDAY 7
Ousevale remain unbowed as they demolish the competition, Mercia are largely untroubled in the "wrong" Bromham stadium, and the top two are as you were.

Just behind, meanwhile, the pack looks a bit different from usual. Caledon Simpson have muscled their way into third - beating the now ninth-placed champions doesn't hurt in that regard - whilst Beckton lie in fifth and are the only side apart from the top two yet to lose this season.

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

MATCHDAY 8
Avidia United are, apparently, not quite dead yet. Shame nobody told the leaders really, as they were defeated at the New City Stadium. Mercia take full advantage, punishing high-flying Caledon to wrest the top spot from their cross-region rivals.

At the other end, Norton get themselves out of the drop zone with a first win of the season against Leston. The Gears had best be careful, as they're only one point clear of the bottom three after this latest defeat.

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

MATCHDAY 9
The phrase here, I believe, is "holding pattern". Seven of the ten games end in draws, including the Mercian Classic (no change at the top then!), and there's relatively little movement in the table.

Taking the fullest advantage? Depends on which side of the table you look at. Bradwell's win at home to Notegia hauls them out of the drop zone; in the top half, Caversham started the day tenth and finished it sixth and a point off the top three.

Results:
Emberton Reds 2-2 Beckton Supermarine
Bradwell Saints 2-0 Notegia Rangers
Casuals Osteria 1-0 Westleigh Athletic
Stanton Town 1-1 Ashton Olympic
Royal Emberton 1-1 Leston Town
Adanac City 0-0 Avidia United
Norton 1-2 Caversham
Ousevale Borough 1-1 Mercia Bromham
New Cefn Albion 2-2 Bromham City
Caledon Simpson 2-2 Avidia City

MATCHDAY 10
Nothing like a big win to assert your dominance over the division. Avidia got four and rose to fifth, Ousevale smashed Avidia City all over the park for a half dozen, and the leaders just get ridiculous and smash eight past the Hockanucks.

Bradwell may be looking at the wrong end of the table, but at least they only lost one-nil this week.

Results:
Notegia Rangers 0-1 Emberton Reds
Westleigh Athletic 0-3 Beckton Supermarine
Ashton Olympic 1-0 Bradwell Saints
Leston Town 1-1 Casuals Osteria
Avidia United 4-0 Stanton Town
Caversham 0-3 Royal Emberton
Mercia Bromham 8-0 Adanac City
Bromham City 2-2 Norton
Avidia City 0-6 Ousevale Borough
Caledon Simpson 2-0 New Cefn Albion

The Astograthian Football League
Overview: 674-681 (Part 2)
Link to Part 1

Season 678
Urbizania Wanderers win their first league title since the reformation of the First Division, manager Tzemeno Baxterrika’s plea to ‘trust the system’ finally paying off after several squalid years. Iturributa United, with an ageing defense and an injury crisis, nevertheless mounts a stunning title challenge that falls just 3 points short. Athletic Club Olarria, spurred forward by the wise hand of veteran Sicoutian manager Louis Vaudrail and a slew of shrewd signings, achieve their best-ever finish by climbing to 4th. Meanwhile the fatigue of two historic, record-breaking seasons catch up to Ituraitz FC who drop down to 5th place. Tomas Aer’s job remains safe, but the same can’t be said for Royal Rumiatzi’s Diegoche Lizaran, who is set to be sacked at the end of the season following an unacceptable 6th place finish. Elsewhere, Royal Ibarbe make history by finishing 8th and, just beneath them, Antiguoko FC emerged as the season’s surprise package, holding several top teams against the ropes en route to their second-best finish yet.
At the bottom of the table, Army United make a short-lived return to the First Division, likewise Ichapeldun Mariners go straight back to the second tier in their début year in the top flight. Joining them are Royal Arexa, who proved unable to capitalise on the momentum of their prior mid-table seasons.

Royal Cup Final
@ Grand Duke's Stadium, Rumiatzi

55th minute and, on the counter-attack, a through ball from Azeari Duarte finds Mendebal Unda surging past Ituraitz Victory’s defense. Goalkeeper Larendi Erroz rushes out in an attempt to dive on the ball as it enters the box, but the forward skips past with a deft touch and scores on an empty goal. Royal Rumiatzi win their third Royal Cup in five years, and record-breaking 7th cup overall. Nevertheless, the league continues to elude them and spells goodbye for Diegoche Lizaran. For one-time cup winners Victory, who had reached their first final in nearly 40 years, nothing but heartbreak.

ROYAL RUMIATZI
7th title

Season 679
Royal Rumiatzi, having brought in Sicoutian manager Louis Vaudrail from Athletic Club Olarria storm to their 9th league title shattering the previous points record of 81. A dominant season from front to back that sees the Knights return to championship glory for the first time since the refounding of the First Division. Ituraitz FC, though a distant second, would have stood a solid chance of winning the title in previous seasons. Sporting Iturributa, Urbizania Wanderers and Iturributa United were in consistent struggle for third place throughout the season but could never threaten Ituraitz; toward the end of the season it was Sporting who slightly pulled away from the pack as the others failed to find good away form. Sporting Arkamo, erstwhile a provincial minnow, became the talk of the league by virtue of breaking into the exclusive Top 6 for the first time, with manager Machin Logegaray earning plaudits for engineering their fluid attacking play. Athletic Club Olarria made headlines for starting off the season dismally, sitting in the relegation spots heading into the middle of the season – a swift replacing of manager Zuriko Eliz by Eriz Bakaikoa brought with it a huge reversal, as they mounted a comeback that led them as high as 6th at times. Royal Ibarbe equalled last season’s feat by finishing 8th, while Antiguoko FC put on an impressive season – at one point looking to break into the top 4 – but they wore down toward the end and finished a respectable 10th. In 11th, two-time champions Astograth University hoped to reverse their fortunes with new manager Peli Alzu, but yet again are frustrated in their attempts to return to the group of elite clubs. Three-time winners Echegoyan FC are in a similar position, their form yo-yoing from season to season. Their unravelling at the end of this year was particularly dramatic, coming dangerously close to relegation – manager Iban Bachiondo has to go and yet another drastic restructuring of the squad is expected. The season’s shock relegation was Gesterlake FC, a fixture of the First Division for its past 18 seasons. Joining them are Royal Association, who completely another unremarkable run in the top flight, and Athletic Club Rumiatzi, who were only just promoted.

Royal Cup Final
@ Grand Duke's Stadium, Rumiatzi

The Royal Cup’s new format plus the luck of the draw would seem to have benefitted Sporting Ibarguren, a team that has spent its existence flitting between the second and third tiers, finding itself in the Second Division at the time of this tournament. Although drawn against third-tier and even non-league sides throughout the lower rounds, they bested defending cup winners Royal Rumiatzi on penalties in the quarterfinals, after playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw in Ibarguren. In the semifinals they beat the also second-tier Army United, also at home. Urbizania Wanderers, coming off a league season where they felt they could’ve done a lot more, had reason to come in confident. Ibarguren, managed by the wily Lukar Mendikoa, put forward a defensive plan that constricted, frustrated and generally slowed down play throughout the whole match. In the 81st minute, this sense of security proved enough for Naya Urchegia to float a very long pass over Wanderers’ defense and into the trajectory of young winger Adei Eiguren, who touched the ball twice before blasting it past goalkeeper Gentza Bedigax to score the goal of his life. The trend of smaller clubs winning the Royal Cup continues, with this becoming the only major silverware the city of Ibarguren has yet known.

1st title

Season 680
The First Division came down to the wire as Urbizania Wanderers and Sporting Iturributa battled for the lead throughout the season, trading places numerous times until the Chevrons slipped in their penultimate match, away at Ituraitz FC, allowing Wanderers to hold a one-point lead. In their final match, against the ultra-defensive Blue Mountain Range, Wanderers’ plans were threatened by an early headed goal from Gogo Soraire, while Sporting thrashed Garitzeta Racing Club 5-0. A second half brace by the indefatigable Jê Çìró ultimately allowed Urbizania to claim their second league title in three years. Further downfield, Ituraitz FC and defending champions Royal Rumiatzi were active participants of the title race until slightly after the midway point, when Wanderers and Sporting broke away definitively. Echegoyan FC were delighted to be back in the top 6, finishing a strong 5th off the back of new manager Bakar Laranaga. Iturributa United, also finding a new skipper in Arkamo’s Machin Logegaray, expected better than 6th but struggled to make the most of their bold new signings. Antiguoko FC, Royal Ibarbe and Sporting Arkamo continue to have strong midfield seasons as they cement themselves in the top flight, while Astograth University and Blue Mountain Range seem incapable of rising past. Basabe Old Boys suffered a terrible season after manager Laranaga signed for Echegoyan, never climbing out of the relegation spots. They seemed to have become a fixture of the First Division, even making the Top 6 just three seasons before, but alas. They will be joined by Miners FC, who return to the Second Division after a brief two-year stint, and Bakartirla Buccaneers. The only professional club on the remote island of Bakartirla made their début and in the top flight only to immediately drop down, but at least they’ll have their 2-1 away win over eventual champions Urbizania to look back on.

Royal Cup Final
@ Grand Duke's Stadium, Rumiatzi

Along with Ituraitz FC, Urbizania Wanderers and Royal Rumiatzi are the winningest Royal Club competitors: 6 and 7 cups respectively. Both located along the Leizaran river valley, in what is informally known as the “capital region”, clashes over the top prizes of Astograthian football have steadily ignited a rivalry. They met in the very first Royal Cup final, where Royal Rumiatzi came out 2-1 victors to secure the first double in Astograthian national football. 17 years later they met again, this time Wanderers winning 1-0. 28 years after that, they met again. An exquisite free-kick by Azeari Duarte, curling beyond the reach of Gentza Bedigax and into the top corner, proved to be the decider, as Louis Vaudrail guided Royal Rumiatzi to their stunning fourth Royal Cup in six seasons.

ROYAL RUMIATZI
8th title

Season 681

Sporting Iturributa, under the leadership of Zorion Legeren, had won the championship in season 675 and finished in the top 3 every year since. During this time they steadily built what was, on paper, arguably the strongest side in the competition, packing the squad with national team-caliber players. This all came together in season 681 to produce simultaneously the most resilient and most clinical team the First Division has ever seen. Sporting conceded a scant 14 goals across 38 matches – the lowest since the 20-team format was instituted – while suffocating the opposition in an extremely high-pressing, short-passing style that created few attacking plays but rarely needed more, the skill of Egoitz Laurnagaray and Tzemeno Zubiria together accounting for nearly half of the team’s goals. Despite losing both Iturributa Derbies, Sporting’s consistency made the difference in their battle for the title against Iturributa United and Royal Rumiatzi. Athletic Club Olarria soared under manager Eriz Bakaikoa and talismanic forward Gogo Echegoimberry, once more finishing as high as 4th. Significantly more disappointing were Ituraitz FC and defending champions Urbizania Wanderers; managers Tomas Aer and Tzemno Baxterrika, despite their prior success, will be moving on at the end of the season. Echegoyan FC seemed on track to finish within the coveted Top 6, but crumbled toward the end in a fashion that left many bitter fans at Silanes Park. Meanwhile, Royal Ibarbe’s 7th finish is their highest-ever, as manager Abdoulaye Bocandé continues to defy expectations for the side. Toward the bottom of the table, Garitzeta Racing Club impressed by avoiding relegation despite money troubles, and Astograth University continued their miserable streak of recent years by just barely staying in the top flight. Iturributa Racing are relegated after just one year in the First Division, while Oyardo and Ximun Orieta do so after two.

Royal Cup Final
@ Grand Duke's Stadium, Rumiatzi

Athletic Club Rumiatzi, the local rivals of Royal Rumiatzi, had never even reached a Royal Cup final until this season. To do so, they bested Ituraitz FC in the round of 32 and then fought tooth and nail to beat eventual First Division champions Sporting Iturributa in the semifinals. Iturributa United, on the other hand, were two-time winners and generally one of the most successful sides domestically and internationally – though they had lost all of their last four Royal Cup finals. Their road to the final was comparatively much easier, not once facing a top-tier team. At Grand Duke’s Stadium, however, United’s frustration over losing the First Division to their fierce rivals Sporting came through in a severe beating for Athletic. Centre-back Cherran Eluaga opened the scoring by sticking his foot into the rebound of a corner-kick header, and striker Hitzeder Lizalde followed up minutes later with a furious shot across goal. Urdin Zomoza had relied upon an uncharacteristically defensive setup when going against stronger teams this cup, but Athletic were now forced to look for goals and opened themselves and, despite their attacking trio of Zabalia, Yobera and Raskin creating good chances, opened themselves up too much in the process. Chachu Elisabe had no choice but to commit a technical foul on Yokin Arana as he put himself in a good scoring position. The resulting free-kick allowed Beltza Urkizo to curl in a cross for Artizar Moriega to make it 3-0, and in the 83rd Lizalde scored his second of the evening to put the result beyond doubt. Though subjected to the heaviest scoreline in a final since Ituraitz FC’s destruction of Ituraitz Victory in 640, Athletic will be proud to have made the final at all, while United celebrate their first Royal Cup since 636.

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XV - PART TWO

MATCHDAY 11
Well, that happened. It's absolute carnage in the O-League as shock result follows shock result. First, Westleigh finally open their W account - against Emberton Reds, no less - then it turned into a double-dip display of awful for the sides in the capital as the Royals were demolished by Bromham City, who are now inexplicably in the top half.

Then, to put the exclamation mark on things, Mercia are annihilated by Stanton "One Player Team" Town, allowing Ousevale to go top in the face of a spirited fight from New Cefn.

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

MATCHDAY 12
Dear lord, the Dockers have gone straight to plaid. Conceding four may have been an issue...except Stanton scored seven against Avidia City to haul themselves into the top half. Ousevale remain top with a septet of their own, Mercia ease past a hapless Bradwell to keep the pressure on, and Beckton are quietly hoovering up the points. Their win over Caversham means they rise to fourth - and say it quietly, they're still yet to lose this season.

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

KFA CUP ROUND TWO
With the Premier Division sides entering, it's time to get down to business in the Cup. Unless, that is, if you're from Avidia. The Second City's three teams all got eliminated - though, to be fair, all to top-flight teams - which means we'll almost certainly have a semi at the New City.

Of course, there were a few shocks as there always are. Adanac were beaten at home by Neathill, Kallia United downed Caversham on penalties, and Bromham City were sucker-punched by Secklow. There's an honourable mention, too, for the little-known Sefton Athletic, who took cup specialists Beckton to an extra half hour before surrendering.

MATCHDAY 13
Good news at the bottom, as Westleigh finally manage to haul themselves off twentieth, and only three points from safety, with a win against Caversham. To show what a difference a year makes, this time last season Bradwell were third. Despite beating now-bottom Avidia City, they're now third bottom.

At the other end, the top five all record maximum points so it's as you were. (Props, by the way, to Avidia United for immediate retribution on Ashton for knocking them out of the Cup.)

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

MATCHDAY 14
Do you like draws? We got your draws.

Mercia are the only team in the top seven to record more than one point, and they're now second only on goal difference. The only side in the top six to lose, meanwhile, are Royal Emberton, who lose sixth spot to Stanton(!) as a result.

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

MATCHDAY 15
All good things must come to and end, and this is where the Supermarine Streak bows out. Losing to Ousevale by the odd goal in three, though, is at least going down fighting. That's more than can be said for Royal Emberton, who went down like lambs to the slaughter at the Harbour Stadium, a result that moves Stanton up to fifth.

Results:
Emberton Reds 2-3 Caversham
Avidia United 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Leston Town 1-0 Bromham City
Ashton Olympic 7-2 Avidia City
Westleigh Athletic 1-0 Caledon Simpson
Notegia Rangers 1-1 New Cefn Albion
Beckton Supermarine 1-2 Ousevale Borough
Bradwell Saints 4-1 Norton
Casuals Osteria 2-0 Adanac City
Stanton Town 6-2 Royal Emberton

MATCHDAY 16
With Westleigh Athletic visiting the Southern Arena, the stage was set for Ousevale to continue unhindered at the top.

Trouble is, nobody told the Westies this. A battling two-all draw means a useful and unexpected point for the side in nineteenth, and a two-point lead at the top for Mercia after they edged past the Reds.

Results:
Mercia Bromham 2-1 Emberton Reds
Bromham City 1-1 Caversham
Avidia City 0-0 Avidia United
Caledon Simpson 2-2 Leston Town
New Cefn Albion 1-1 Ashton Olympic
Ousevale Borough 2-2 Westleigh Athletic
Norton 0-1 Notegia Rangers
Adanac City 1-1 Beckton Supermarine
Royal Emberton 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Stanton Town 0-2 Casuals Osteria

MATCHDAY 17
Well, that's one way to recover from a poor result; Ousevale take out their frustrations on Leston to the tune of nine goals. Mercia stay top with a glut of their own against the bottom side, whilst Stanton's lead over Beckton hikes them up to fourth place.

Results:
Emberton Reds 3-0 Bromham City
Mercia Bromham 6-3 Avidia City
Caversham 1-1 Caledon Simpson
Avidia United 2-0 New Cefn Albion
Leston Town 2-9 Ousevale Borough
Ashton Olympic 4-1 Norton
Westleigh Athletic 1-0 Adanac City
Notegia Rangers 2-2 Royal Emberton
Beckton Supermarine 0-2 Stanton Town
Bradwell Saints 1-1 Casuals Osteria

MATCHDAY 18
With the Mercian giants threatening a two-horse race, there's nothing like a couple of slip-ups against mid-table sides to keep things interesting. Enter New Cefn Albion (Mercia) and Caversham (Ousevale), both of whom cost their opponents two points.

To their credit, the chasing pack did their bit, with Avidia United, Stanton, and Ashton all picking up wins.

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

KFA CUP ROUND THREE
Fresh from their defeat of Adanac, Neathill have gone and done it again. This time, it's Casuals getting turned over at the QES Stadium. They weren't the only ones to take down top-flight opposition either. You may not have heard of Ilham & Welford, but the team from the twin towns will be haunting Stanton's dreams for months. Then there's the case of Westleigh, downed in Diorville.

Elsewhere, the likes of Mercia, Ousevale, and Royals have got themselves through without too much trouble - save for the Midlanders needing an extra half hour to beat Leston - whilst Ashton were given an almighty scare by Emberton Sorthern before eventually getting through.

MATCHDAY 19
Will the real Mercia Bromham please stand up? A lacklustre display sees them only taking a single point off Norton, and they lose the lead right on the turn after Ousevale beat Mercia's cross-city rivals.

While those two are squabbling, meanwhile, Avidia United scramble to repair the pieces of their tattered title campaign. A win over the Royals cuts the gap to the top two to nine points, whilst Stanton's draw with Leston gives the Eagles some breathing space.

Results:
Emberton Reds 0-2 Caledon Simpson
Avidia City 0-3 New Cefn Albion
Bromham City 1-4 Ousevale Borough
Mercia Bromham 2-2 Norton

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XV - PART THREE

MATCHDAY 20
As the second half of the season begins, it's Mercia's turn to drop points. Royal Emberton are the culprits in this case, restoring Ousevale's two-point cushion at the top. Avidia United give Casuals a tonking for the second time this season to keep themselves in the hunt, though still nine points off the Tigers.

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

MATCHDAY 21
Nothing to report in the top three save for Ousevale mulching the Reds, but it's getting interesting below. Stanton's win, combined with Beckton losing to third-placed United, means the Dockers now have a five point cushion for fourth place. Caledon Simpson, meanwhile, have been quietly hoovering up points, and now lie just a point behind the Mariners in sixth.

Results:
Emberton Reds 0-6 Ousevale Borough
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Norton
Caledon Simpson 2-0 Adanac City
Avidia City 1-3 Royal Emberton
Bromham City 0-1 Stanton Town
Mercia Bromham 3-1 Casuals Osteria
Caversham 1-1 Bradwell Saints
Avidia United 3-1 Beckton Supermarine
Leston Town 0-1 Notegia Rangers
Ashton Olympic 1-1 Westleigh Athletic

MATCHDAY 22
Beckton play spoiler again, holding Mercia at Orange Street, and that's the cue for Ousevale to stretch their lead to four points. It also gives Avidia United and Stanton a chance to stretch away from the Mariners, and both sides do exactly that.

Further down, meanwhile, Emberton Reds are in a bit of a tailspin, and drop to twelfth after defeat at the hands of Norton. They're still ten points clear of the drop zone, though, so they should be safe. Right?

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

MATCHDAY 23
Well, that's put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Wait, pigeons? I meant seagulls.

Stanton only go and win at Fortress Ousevale, and suddenly it looks a lot less comfortable at the top. Mercia and the Eagles both pick up maximum points, and it's game on with the top three. Hell, with the form they're in I wouldn't even count out the Dockers at this point.

Results:
Emberton Reds 2-0 Adanac City
Norton 1-3 Royal Emberton
Ousevale Borough 1-2 Stanton Town
New Cefn Albion 0-2 Casuals Osteria
Caledon Simpson 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Avidia City 2-6 Beckton Supermarine
Bromham City 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Mercia Bromham 6-2 Westleigh Athletic
Caversham 1-3 Ashton Olympic
Avidia United 1-0 Leston Town

MATCHDAY 24
The top two are barely troubled on their way to big away wins. Avidia United, though, are a different story. They fluff their lines at home to Caversham, and suddenly Stanton are breathing down their necks after labouring to a victory over Adanac.

Results:
Royal Emberton 1-0 Emberton Reds
Stanton Town 1-0 Adanac City
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Norton
Bradwell Saints 2-6 Ousevale Borough
Beckton Supermarine 0-3 New Cefn Albion
Notegia Rangers 0-1 Caledon Simpson
Westleigh Athletic 4-3 Avidia City
Ashton Olympic 5-1 Bromham City
Leston Town 0-4 Mercia Bromham
Avidia United 1-1 Caversham

KFA CUP ROUND FOUR
For the sides that turned heads it was a case of halted but not humbled. Ilham & Welford gave the Reds a scare before the team from the capital came out on top. Further south, Diorville gave a good account of themselves before falling at the feet of Mercia Bromham.

It's not all doom and gloom for the lower division teams, though. Aylesford came through the one match that guaranteed a side from outside the top flight in the quarters; they'll be joined by Neathill, who are flying high in Division One and hammered northern rivals Norton.

Elsewhere, leaders Ousevale needed spot kicks to take down a brave Bradwell side, Ashton ended Loco's dreams, and Caledon and Beckton came out on top against Notegia and the Royals respectively.

Ashton Olympic 2-1 Locomotive Wolverton
Caledon Simpson 2-0 Notegia Rangers
Bradwell Saints 1-1 Ousevale Borough (1-1 AET, 2-3 PKs)
Aylesford 2-0 Dereapolis City
Ilham and Welford 1-2 Emberton Reds
Neathill 4-1 Norton
Mercia Bromham 3-1 Diorville
Beckton Supermarine 2-1 Royal Emberton

MATCHDAY 25
There's somewhat of a holding pattern in the top four as everybody wins. Beckton, meanwhile, are slowly falling away from relevance - losing to Norton not helping there - and it means Royal Emberton nip into fifth, albeit nine points shy of Stanton.

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

MATCHDAY 26
Ashton Olympic do love frustrating their Mercian rivals, don't they? A well earned one-all draw with the Tigers means two points dropped for the league leaders. Can Mercia take advantage?

Can they heck as like. Bromham City go full Gandalf at the Cygnus, and that's a goalless draw to stymie their cross-city rivals.

That of course meant a chance for Avidia United to catch up - or they could lose to Caledon, that works too.

Amidst all the chaos, the Dockers win a tense Abbia Mersa derby and leave Abbey Road grinning like the cat that got the cream. I swear, if they win the league from here I'll eat my laptop.

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

MATCHDAY 27
Ignore that muffled explosion; that's just Avidia United blowing Ousevale's confidence to tiny little bits. Mercia actually do manage to take advantage - and how! - against Caledon, and just to throw another spanner into the works, Stanton beat Notegia as well.

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

MATCHDAY 28
Hit the alarm, sound the sirens, women, children, and Tigers fans first. Ousevale are officially choking the season. Yes, Mercia are a tough opponent, but Ousevale never even looked like they wanted anything out of the game. Mercia's lead now stretches to five points, and to make matters worse, Avidia and Stanton both won again and are just three points behind the erstwhile leaders.

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

MATCHDAY 29
It's as inevitable as death or taxes. Ousevale have a bad run, someone pays. This time, it's Avidia City who get the chunky salsa treatment at the Southern Arena. It doesn't get any better for the other half of the Second City, as their defeat to Stanton means the two swap places.

Nine games to go, and Stanton "When Have We Ever Been Relevant" Town are in the top three. Truly these are the end times.

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

MATCHDAY 30
Right, that's it, everyone to the bunkers. Stanton Town are officially title contenders.

I'm not even joking. Not only did they beat Mercia - only the Midlanders' second defeat of the season, but Ousevale went to New Cefn and got well and truly trechu.

It's a three horse race, and none of those horses is Avidia United, who also lost. Smooth work, there, Eagles.

Results:
Westleigh Athletic 0-2 Emberton Reds
Ashton Olympic 2-0 Notegia Rangers

This Premier League season turned out to be one of the most closely fought ones in quite a while, with Eastburg United and Navel Sharks fighting neck to neck for the championship from start to end. Eventually, both teams would come to the last matchday tied in points, and only separated by H2H: while both sides won once and tied the remaining match, the Oranges had the edge by scoring one more goal against the Sharks in their matches against each other. And on the last matchday, both were looking to win the title at home against tough rivals: the defending champions hosted the tricky Red Diamonds hoping for a setback for Eastburg, who in turn, were playing the derby against a troubled CCD side, who needed a positive result in order to avoid relegation. The last 90 minutes of the season in both Jamestown and Eastburg turned to be pretty anticlimactic, with both matches ending in ties thus confirming a sixth crown for United and cutting off a 7-season Premier League domination by both Navel Island giants, while also claiming Whirl Islands' single Champions' League berth.

Joining the Sharks in the Challengers' Cup, we will have their arch-rivals Navel FC, whose late reaction as well as their inability to beat their cross-city rivals in any of the 3 Navel derbies played this season did not allow them to get any closer to the title race, despite the Reds ended the season trailing both United and the Sharks by just two points, and FC Atlantis, who clinched the last IFCF berth by beating Racing in a winner-takes-all Atlantis Island derby. Meanwhile, in the middle of the pack we find the two teams from Lagoon Town: the Red Diamonds and Athletic Victoria, with the former's comeback only being able to secure sixth place for them after a terrible first third of the season, and the latter displaying an inconsistent performance throughout the entire season. Olimpia, who had already got used to participate in international competition, had to bid farewell to their chances after dropping too many points mid-season, while the Greencaps (now under their new identity of Branta Greencaps following the evacuation of Brantalentian civilians and settlers by the Valladar Royal Government) were too busy with resettlement in Navel Island to really care about the league this season and finished in ninth place mostly due to a good streak in the final stretch.

And with the Premier League and the Campeonato Nacional exchanging two teams per season, the fight to avoid relegation was expected to be more interesting, which eventually proved to be true with CCD Eastburg and Sporting Ayacucho reaching the last matchday with chances to go down, and the Red-Whites having a single-point cushion on the Ayacucho side. At the end of the day, the 1-1 tie in the Eastburg derby coupled with a defeat for Ayacucho at home at the hands of Navel FC allowed CCD to avoid returning to the Campeonato Nacional and sentenced Sporting to join Deportivo Maracaibo in the second tier, with the latter side having been relegated with several matches in advance.

The Whirl Islands Campeonato Nacional Season 50

The milestone fiftieth season of Whirl Islands' second tier championship ended up with FC Moncton winning their first Campeonato Nacional and ensuring Ayacucho won't be unrepresented in the Premier League after Sporting's relegation, at least for this season. Despite Les Poires dominated the league during its first two thirds, in the final one they found some opposition in the shape of Vieux-Port FC, who reduced the gap with the leaders from 11 points to just 2 points at the end of the season, with a 6-0 thrashing of Moncton helping greatly. Vieux-Port were also fighting on another front, with FC Terranova pushing to leapfrog them for second place, and visiting them on the last matchday. However, the Verdes were able to keep Terranova at bay and forced them to settle for the bronze medals with a 1-0 win. Even though this narrow victory was not enough to beat Monton for the championship, Vieux-Port's efforts were also rewarded with promotion and a LBCT berth, while Terranova only claimed the third and last international berth. Traditional sides Sparta Navel and Náutico were also contending for international berths or even promotion at some point, however, losses to the top three left them out of the race, whilst another quartet of traditional teams in the shape of Lagoon Crocodiles, Union FC and both teams from Narissa were unable to keep a consistent performance in order to pose a challenge for promotion or Liga B berths. And last but no least, this won't be a season to remember for the Campeonato's new guests Halcones, who completely failed to live up to the lofty expectations of a quick return to the Premier League, while Ayacucho's woeful season was rounded up by the poor campaigns of both Hoxvathor and Arica, with the Seahawks ending the season in a modest tenth place, and the Barcino (Bull) adding yet another Wooden Spoon to their collection.

TimLig Season 4 Preview

by Tufan Nursultan

With four new stadiums constructed and no international window opened, the Super League has seen an increase in the amount of activity between domestic sides with more willingness to exchange the rights to youth players in order to pick up prospects from relegated sides and experienced veterans who will no longer have a starting role for their clubs in order to either prolong their careers or have new starts, with no club deciding to stand in the way of players who wanted to leave. The league will also now span two years, with the player's trade union threatening a holdout if the demand wasn't met on safety grounds.

The teams in order of my predicted finish:

Manat FK
Team Location: Manat, Demir
Stadium: Dev Halk Stadium (30,000)
Nickname: Yesil-Beyazlar (Green-whites)
Manager: Marat Yuseinov (44)
Formation: 4-2-4
Projected Starting XI: GK: Ahmed Hurriyet (32), DL: Hasan Maratov (25), DC: Lucy Hellhauer (SCT) (21), DC: Ilhan Orhanoglu (29), DR: Nuri Selahattin (24), MC: Aycan Kubat (24), MC: Sinan Pamuk (25), AMR: Volkan Ayhan (26), AML: Umit Yakar (27), ST: Omer Tameroglu (24), Ismail Burhan (25)
Notable Reserves: GK: Ismet Emre (19), MC: Marian Ironside (BRE), DC: Rustem Hafizoglu (30), DC: Kerem Yavuz (18), ST/AMR/AML/MR: Akira Kagekatsu (HIN) (21)
Players to Watch: Ismail Burhan, Aycan Kubat, Lucy Hellhauer
Previous Finish: 1st
Analysis: Manat are the reigning champions and they only got stronger, they acquired Lucy Hellhauer who will be a long term anchor in what is at times a sub-par defence. Those issues are of course masked by the sheer firepower the team possesses, with a front four that are greater than the sum of their parts (and that sum is still pretty damn impressive.) They are our preseason favourites, no one will be able to outlast them over the season unless their defence suffers catastrophic issues or their offence simply stalls, but look for Marat Yuseinov to make it three in a row for the Green-Whites.

Uryanspor
Team Location: Uryan
Stadium: Madenci Stadium (27,000)
Nickname: Baltacilar (The Axemen)
Manager: Baskurt Cetinkaya (46)
Formation: 4-5-1 DM
Projected Starting XI: GK: Murat Yigithan (27), DL: Hywel Wodework (NPH), DC: Berker Balkan (20), DC: Metin Boz (c) (30), DR: Gokdeniz Dag (25), DM: Erdi Turkyilmaz (27), MC: Azer Erdinc (25), MC: Yasin Tekiner (27), ML: Arda Uygun (19), MR: Susanne Mpenza (CYI), ST: Fatih Alpaslanoglu (28)
Notable Reserves: ML Demir Kaynarca (20), DM: Timur Nas (31)
Players to Watch: Susanne Mpenza, Hywel Wodeword, Berker Balkan
Previous Finish: 3rd
Analysis: Uryanspor always feel like they're slightly unlucky in how things play out for them. Arguably they were the best team in the league last season and yet Manat and Hisar were the top two and they were left on the outside looking in. They are, once again, expected to contend, but Manat should be too strong for them to overcome over the course of 34 matches. If they are to overcome that gap, it will fall on exceptionally gifted centre back Berker Balkan to deliver, alongside an extremely strong defence with the best goalkeeper in the league according to some between the sticks. Baskurt Cetinkaya may have squandered his best chance at a title last season, many will be watching him carefully to see how he responds.

Hisar FK
Team Location: Hisar, Demir
Stadium: Hisar School Field of Excellence (6,250)
Nickname: Hisarlar (Fortresses)
Manager: Manas Volkan (35)
Formation: 4-5-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Saban Inekci (30) , DL: Gokhan Umut (27), DC: Sahin Toprak (19), DC: Eichi Fujiwara (C) (HIN), DR: Kerim Erkan (19) , MC:Okyanus Batur (19), MC: Ozakan Yavuz (19), MC: Matilda Hamilton (NPH) (27), ML: Hakan Visneci (28), MR: Muharrem Umutoglu (27), ST: Yusuf Akman (25)
Notable Reserves: MC: Yusuf Ihsanoglu (30), MC: Sahin Gul (31), DC: Tuna Rustemoglu (37)
Players to Watch: Sahin Gul, Eichi Fujiwara, Ozakan Yavuz
Previous Finish: 2nd
Analysis: The weakest of the three main title challengers, last season's runners up. They have an exceptionally strong defence and arguably the best remaining goalkeeper in the Super League and the best centre back in the form of Eichi Fujiwara, now the first foreign captain in the Super League. Their success or failure in their title challenge will likely determine Manas Volkan's fate, with success buying him all of the time in the world and failure seeing his seat warm up. They should be able to see off any team below them here rather easily over the season, the challenge comes in the form of beating out reigning champions Manat if they manage that, they may be in for an excellent year.

Tashkentspor
Team Location: Tashkent
Stadium: Tashkent Belediye Isci Stadium (18,500)
Nickname: Taslar (The Stones)
Manager: Osman Zulbekaroglu (34)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Iltas Gokcen (27), DL: Izzet Timur (20), DC: Murat Bulut (27), DC: Isa Nurioglu (28), DR: Servet Ayturk (27), MC: Altan Seyfi (20), MC: Soda Nagatomo (HIN) (21):, AML: Caner Turan (23), AMC: Metin Aytacoglu (26), AMR: Ibrahim Kahveci (25), ST: Bayram Tansu (26)
Notable Reserves: MC: Oz Kizilkaya (19)
Players to Watch: Izzet Timur, Altan Seyfi, Caner Turan
Previous Finish: 4th
Analysis: Tashkentspor are expected to finish in the top four, only just, dueling with Demirspor for that final IFCF spot, they are far behind the three true title challengers in terms of quality, with Hisar a far stronger team, but they could have an outside chance of a title challenge if things fall their way. Important things to look at will be Caner Turan and his performances, rumours are swirling that he's been eyeing a move abroad and if he begins to look frustrated and perhaps more importantly play like it, that would bode ill for Tashkentspor. Otherwise, look for them and Demirspor to be engage in a season long back and forth to be the best of the rest while the top three battle for the title.

Demirspor
Team Location: Central Demir, Demir
Stadium: Demir-Is Stadium (5,500)
Nickname: Demirciler (The Iron-men)
Manager: Yusuf Umut (59)
Formation: 4-2-4
Projected Starting XI: GK: Assefa Bahane (BNJ) (37), DL: Devrim Sen (20) , DC: Alpay Osmanoglu (25) , DC: Levent Ahmedoglu (22), DR: Savas Orhan (23), MC: Atilla Acar (C) (27), MC: Akinci Gumus (29), AMR: Ragip Eyuboglu (25), AML: Tayyar Ozel (29), ST: Tugay Coskun (20), ST: Kartal Unal (23)
Notable Reserves: DL: Ixion Stamatellis (NPH), MC: Batuhan Kasikci (18)
Players to Watch: Tayyar Ozel, Kartal Unal, Tugay Coskun
Previous Finish: 5th
Analysis: Demirspor will be in a brawl with Tashkentspor for fourth place, in the most likely scenario. They are an offensive juggernaut, but the loss of Iskender Nur and his replacement by ageing Banijan Assefa Bahane will likely mean this is a defensive unit that is too poorly organised and lacking in a leader in the defensive bank of four to be compensate for such an offensive unit. Kartal Unal and Tugay Coskun will be near the top of the scoring chart at the end of the season, especially with Tayyar Ozel providing essential service to them.

Devlet-Bira Fabrika Takimi
Team Location: Ipsala
Stadium: Ipsala Belediye Park (2,000)
Nickname: Biracilar (The Brewers)
Manager: Hami Toker (48)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Hasan Kocaeli (41), DL:Sieglinde Lohengrin (NPH) (33), DC: Marcus Gallegos (APX) (34), DC: Tij Breukelaar (KOR) (19), DR: Mirko Hölscher (HIN) (21), MC: Temir Baba (22), MC: Sabah Tanriseven (18), AML: Ertekin Izzet (27), AMC: Hasan Kurt (25), AMR: Tekin Yavuz (32), ST: Gokhan Umitoglu (28)
Notable Reserves: MC: Yoldas Tasci (36), DR: Derin Sener (40)
Players to Watch: Hasan Kocaeli, The Entire Defence, Tekin Yavuz
Previous Finish: 6th
Analysis: Last season's new comers who came and made some noise with their aggressive recruitment strategy have struck again with yet another bout of purchasing, this time looking abroad to build an entirely new defence which will be the subject of much scrutiny as Hami Toker looks to prove he can get the job done of making the team competitive in the league for at least an IFCF berth. Key to this will be ageing supremo between the sticks Hasan Kocaeli, the whole defence and the football equivalent of fine wine Tekin Yavuz who has been in astounding form since moving to the club.

Elektriklestirmespor
Team Location: Elektriklestirme
Stadium: Halkın Güneş Çiftliği Stadium (27,000)
Nickname: Yildirim (Lightning)
Manager: Yahsiboga Levni (46)
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Sezgin Sancakli (31), DL: Caner Ulas (25), DC: Cagdas Gurses (26), DC: Anil Erol (29), DR: Engin Tokgoz (28), MC: Eldemir Reza (26), MC: Berkin Batuk (28), AML: Oktay Keskin (24), AMC: Ertan Renda (C) (27), AMR: Masaki Onishi (HIN), ST: Gared Serafinowicz (BRE) (27)
Notable Reserves: GK: Koray Ecevit (20), DC: Heidar Kamalev (18), MC: Tanrivermis Asena (19), ST: Recep Koyuncu (28)
Players to Watch: Ertan Renda, Masaki Onishi, Gared Serafinowiczs
Previous Finish: 7th
Analysis: Of the teams with a chance of making it into the top four, the Lightning have the toughest path with the weakest squad overall in terms of talent, but their offensive quartet are a force to be reckoned with an a lot of teams will struggle to deal with them on their best day. Yahsiboga Levni will be looking to secure his place as one of the best managers in Timuria and a top four finish with this team would go a long way to cementing that, whether he gets to achieve that or not will fall outside of their control with so many strong teams ahead of them.

Almat JK
Team Location: Almat, Demir
Stadium: Almat Jimnasyum (3,000)
Nickname: Traktorlar (The Tractors)
Manager: Batuhan Okay (58)
Formation: 5-1-2-1-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Akyol Ozil (19) , DL: Beyhan Enver (26), DC: Okan Kocak (28), DC Ucan Celik (29):, DC: Eyup Mustafa (28), DR: DaDougerius Van der Voor (AUD) (27), DM: Oztekin Timur (c) (25), MC: Mustafa Aydinlar (20), MC: Juan Gauxo Soriano (HIN) (21), AMC: Sasha Wheaton (NPH) (28), ST: Cetin Binali (26)
Notable Reserves: MC:, DR: Cumhur Yakin (20), DR: Ragip Bulut (19), AMC: Akyon Gurses (19), DR: Orhan Yalman (32), MC: Eren Unal (31)
Players to Watch: Eyup Mustafa, Juan Gauxo Soriano, Beyhan Enver
Previous Finish: 8th
Analysis: After Elektriklestirmespor there is a huge drop off in quality, but the best of the rest is undoubtedly the younger brother of the two big Demir sides: Almat JK. They've made a few choice additions to allow them to be clear of relegation and hopefully allow them to build for a challenge into the top tier of teams next season. Batuhan Okay is considered to be on the hot seat for his tactical choices, many attacking him as too defensive and conservative. He will struggle to prove his critics wrong based on what we're projecting, but a bit of overachieving may buy him yet another year and a chance to reinvent himself tactically.

Caykur Denizspor
Team Location: Deniz, Uryan
Stadium: Sendika Park (1,300)
Nickname: Oraklar (The Sickles)
Manager: Altin Yildizoglu (43)
Formation: 4-4-2
Projected Startnig XI: GK: Ferdi Kurtoglu (32), DL: Orhan Tezcan (C) (33), DC: Adem Kirac (23), DC: Tahir Giray (26), DR: Tayfur Akyel (33), ML: Kurboga Akyol (33), MC: Akarsu Kaan (27), MC: Taner Can (32), MR: Oral Guven (32), ST: Tumenboga Kubilay (21), ST: Murat Karasu (20)
Players to Watch: Tayfur Akyel, Kurboga Akyol, Murat Karasu
Previous Finish: 3rd in the Workers League
Analysis: Caykur Denizspor are expected to be the safest of the Super League's new additions from the threat of relegation, why? Simply put, they had the strongest core team in terms of talent last season in the Workers League, even if they finished third and they've made very good acquisitions. Murat Karasu was considered to have the potential to be among the national team's players if he had been given more playing time, while Kurboga Akyol is an excellent player even at his age. Orhan Tezcan will lead the team from defence and many are expecting them to be comfortable this year with no real fear of relegation, or any real prospects of title ambitions.

Tutunspor
Team Location: Tutun, Yumruk
Stadium: Tutun Belediye Park (1,500)
Nickname: Saha Adamları (The Field Men)
Manager: Mirzametin Ozgur (37)
Formation: 4-5-1 DM
Projected Starting XI: GK: Cenk Bayrak (20), DL: Cemalettin Kuyumcu (36), DC: Salik Bozdag (25), DC: Muammer Karadag (20), DR: Bilal Inanc (27), DM: Tatar Bayrak (20), ML: Zeki Taylan (27), MC: Faiq Vahabov (23), MC: Manas Ilhamev (32), MR: Etea Ohishitas (HIN) (21), ST: Murat Keskin (26)
Players to Watch: Muammer Karadag, Etea Ohishitas, Murat Keskin
Previous Finish: 1st in the Workers League
Analysis: The surprise package in the first and second Vizier's Cup have stormed their way to the top and would have been here, with or without the reorganisation of the league structure. They have built a core of gifted young players from the poaching of their surprising Vizier Cup team from all the way back in that first season. Now they're expected to comfortably see off relegation and sit in mid table in their first season in the Super League. Whether they can push on from there will depend on Hinodejin acquisition Etea Ohishitas coming to the team from Hylia University and whether Murat Keskin can continue his fine form in the Super League. Another player of note will be defensive bedrock, Muammer Karadag, a young, but profoundly gifted player who will be hoping to show off what he can do in the Super League.

Tanrispor
Team Location: Goynuk
Stadium: Goynuk Belediye Parki (1,750)
Nickname: Şamanlar (The Shamans)
Manager: Selim Tansu (44)
Formation: 4-5-1 DM
Projected Starting XI: GK: Demirkan Kavur (28), DL: Hasan Aras (19), DC: Marcus Gallegos (APX) (34), DC: Hidayet Koca (c) (31), DR: Ilker Sener (28) , DM: Erberk Aldemir (28), ML: Halil Emiroglu (20), MC: Izzet Yilmaz (20), MC: Cemal Atalar (28), MR: Alp Osman (20), ST: Emir Aga (20)
Notable Reserves: DC: Istemihan Sofuoglu (23)
Players to Watch: Marcus Gallegos, Izzet Yilmaz, Emir Aga
Previous Finish: 8th
Analysis: Tanrispor have been flattered by some exceptional performances, where their players admirably went above and beyond their ability, but now they'll settle, at least this year, for survival. Not that they've ever struggled before, but in a longer season, with more teams and more opportunities for mistakes they may find themselves in a streak of bad luck that sees their time in the Super League ended. Marcus Gallegos is the only acquisition, coming in from Urbanista to pair up with club captain Hidayet Koca to give Istemihan Sofuoglu time to develop on the bench. The team will need to pull together as they have done in previous years and maybe, just maybe, they'll find some magic that leads them away from the group of teams battling relegation.

Bakir FK
Team Location: Uryan
Stadium: Maden-Is Stadium (3400)
Nickname: Madenciler (The Miners)
Manager: Ornek Okur (44)
Formation: 4-5-1 DM
Projected Starting XI: GK: Yaser Okur (34), DL: Vyata Nitini (YSP) (21), DC: Kutalmis Adanir (c) (30), DC: Tolunay Kayhan (20), DR: Machalat Sauber (NPH) (33) , DM: Timur Nas (31) , MC: Akkurt Karaduman (25), MC: Abdulaziz Ihsanoglu (26), ML: Yasin Denizli (29), MR: Ramazan Cihan (28), ST: Osman Gasimov (19)
Notable Reserves: ST: Necati Agaoglu (33)
Players to Watch: Vyata Nitini, Machalat Sauber, Osman Gasimov
Previous Finish: 2nd in the Workers League
Analysis: It took them only one season to make their return to the Super League, which they would have done with or without the reorganisation, meaning no one is doubting their place in this league. In line with that, people are expecting them to retain their position in the Super League relatively comfortably, with some good foreign pick ups, Vyata Nitini from Hinodejin university side Hylia University who will anchor the left side of defence and Machalat Sauber, Nepharim experienced right back picked up on a free transfer from Chatswood. There is also the emergence of young Demir prospect Osman Gasimov, a reward for a player exchanged after relegation, who has been a revelation in the Workers League and many observers are keen to see if he can make the leap to the Super League.

Sariirmakspor
Team Location: Tasova
Stadium: Tasova Belediye Stadium (2,000)
Nickname: Tekneler (The Boats)
Manager: Hakan Vedat (44)
Formation: 4-5-1 DM
Projected Starting XI: GK: Sefa Cihan (21), DL: Udane Akiba (HIN) (21), DC: Nuri Altun (35), DC: Gila Lémery (KOR) (19) , DR: Nursultan Altayov (31), DM: Gurbuz Tufan (26), MC: Hakan Karadag (28), MC: Ulas Bayat (22), ML: Mirzametin Karatimur (18), MR: Bozok Yalcin (26), ST: Adamantine Xerxes (CMT) (23)
Notable Reserves: DL: Tayfur Oz (37), ML: Sarihan Isler (32), ST: Necmettin Umut (35)
Players to Watch: Udane Akiba, Mirzametin Karatimur, Adamantine Xerxes
Previous Finish: 11th
Analysis: The strongest of the sides considered to be likely to be in the relegation battle, they are on the cusp of mid table irrelevance, which when compared with the prospect of relegation is an improvement. This has been achieved with their discovery of the fantastic local talent Mirzametin Karatimur, one that many will be watching closely, while they've also added Basque University player Udane Akiba, Gila Lemery and a new striker in the form of Adamantine Xerxes from Southern Star. They will be hoping to take the experience they've gained last season and build upon it, this time it's for real with relegation back in the picture.

Demir Buyukkentspor
Team Location: Central Demir, Demir
Stadium: Belediye Park (5800)
Nickname: Örsler (The Anvils)
Manager: Aytek Saban (36)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-3-1): GK: Teoman Demirbas (C) (34), DL Necip Colak (32):, DC: Erdem Birol (34), DC: Ugur Korkut (26), DR: Cahit Ecevit (34), MC: Kazak Baykal (32), MC: Kaya Unsal (32) , AML: Umit Ciftci (26), AMC: Sezer Erim (34), AMR: Altinhan Yerlikaya (27), ST: Aypolat Erenoglu (30)
Notable Reserves: DL: Aydemir Aybar (29), DC: Husnu Kashani (27), DR: Zafer Bastimur (25), ST: Mengucek Hamzaoglu (32)
Player to Watch: Ugur Korkut, Sezer Erim, Kazak Baykal
Previous Finish: 6th in the Workers League
Analysis: The last team to sneak in the Super League based on the reorganisation, they were one of the original members of the Super League, but found themselves condemned to the Workers League and have now made their return. They aren't expected to aspire to much more than survival, but they've made shrewd acquisitions and kept a core of players from that first season who will be determined to show that they're more than deserving of being at this level. Kazak Baykal will be a key player for them in the midfield alongside former Almat man Sezer Erim who will finally be in a freer role than he's ever been in before. The defence will be leaned on a lot to allow for the freedom of the attacking players, with three new players in that defence it will be interesting to see if they manage to gel well.

Altinmaden Isciler
Team Location: Gorevlik, Demir Province
Stadium: Gorevlik Halk Park (950)
Nickname: Altin Guller (Golden Roses)
Manager: Salman Valiyev (37)
Projected Starting XI (4-2-3-1): GK: Erdal Terzi (C) (25), DL: Oktay Engin (33), DC: Tigin Yasar (27), DC: Beyhan Ipekci (23), DR: Kemal Sabuktiginoglu (34), MC: Ferhat Tarimci (31), MC: Ihsan Unal (21), AML Adil Guney (23), AMC: Alpdogan Tasci (26), AMR: Uygur Coskun (24), ST: Bahadur Elxanli (20)
Players to Watch: Erdal Terzi, Ferhat Tarimci, Bahadur Elxanli
Previous Finish: 4th in the Workers League
Analysis: A team that most would expect to be in the pits of the upcoming relegation scrap, they have just enough about them that most commentators think they'll end the season above water, just. Whether they do or not will depend on how prodigious striker Bahadur Elxanli adapts to the top tier of football, with many eyeing him as a potential national team player in the not too distant future if he gets spotted by the right team. Elsewhere goalkeeper Erdal Terzi will need to manage his defence very well if they are to survive in this league while the leadership of former Hisar FK man Ferhat Tarimci will be essential as they try to find their feet in the new look Super League.

Urukspor
Team Location: Uruk
Stadium: Uruk Belediye Stadium (2,000)
Nickname: Bukalemunlar (The Chameleons)
Manager: Firat Seyfi (35)
Formation: 4-4-2
Projected Starting XI: GK: Murphy Collins (BRE) (26), DL: Erol Demiroren (25), DC: Cengiz Cakmak (28), DC: Danielle Houston (BRE) (30), DR: Altinhan Bardakci (19), MC: Aktolga Dagtekin (19) MC: Emre Kahveci (c) (25), ML: Tolga Mehmetoglu (26), MR: Tori Apcutt (BRE) (28) , ST: Mertcan Gunaydin (25), ST: Aral Karaman (20)
Notable Reserves: MC: Engin Samdereli (20), MR: Vedat Tas (20), MR: Hasan Gumus (32), GK: Uygur Ecevit (19), GK: Baykal Taskiran (31), DC: Isa Kartal (30)
Players to Watch: Murphy Collins, Danielle Houston, Aral Karaman
Previous Finish: 12th
Analysis: Last season's bottom team will be grateful for the reorganisation of the league structure as it has given them one more chance at survival. Despite some choice acquisitions all three of them being Brenecian, they look weak throughout the team, with only Aral Karaman really looking like a Super League quality player. Of the teams expected to be in the relegation scrap, they are likely to be in a brawl with the other teams on the cusp of survival/relegation up until the very end.

Tunahanspor
Team Location: Tunahan, Kilic
Stadium: Tunahan Belediye Stadium (2,100)
Nickname: Aslanlar (The Lions)
Manager: Hasrettin Kizilbas (51)
Projected Starting XI (5-3-2): GK: Demircan Tekeli (23), DL: Sener Kartal (C) (27), DC: Abdurrahman Sofuoglu (24), DC: Mevlut Apak (39), DC: Fehmi Kurtulus (22) DR: Karatay Ibrahimoglu (31), MC: Selcuk Karadeniz (35), MC: Yildirim Agac (32), MC: Tuna Boral (32), ST: Ugur Ayhan (20), ST: Soylu Terim (26)
Players to Watch: Karatay Ibrahimoglu, Tuna Boral, Ugur Ayhan
Previous Finish: 5th in the Workers League
Analysis: One of the teams to benefit, some might uncharitably say disproportionately from the league reorganisation to find themselves in the Super League.They brought in a number of players who have had a good bit of experience in the Super League, including Yildirim Agac who will be the most naturally gifted player in a midfield that is very advanced in years, but have experience in relegation battles and title challenges alike. The brother of Tanrispor centre back Istemihan Sofuoglu will now be playing his brother twice over the next two years in what will make an interesting storyline when Tunahan meet Tanrispor. Otherwise this is a team that looks like one of the favourites for relegation this season.

Kilicspor
Team Location: Kilic
Stadium: Kilic Belediye Park (1,800)
Nickname: Kiliclar (The Swords)
Manager: Ildemir Akkoz (37)
Formation: 5-1-2-1-1
Projected Starting XI: GK: Sahin Ozgultekin (c) (30), DL: Ege Uslu (20), DC: Torhan Cicek (29), DC: Ozan Altin (20), DC: Yildiray Sabuktiginoglu (26), DR: Baki Boztepe (26), DM: Farooq Nawfal (HIN) (21), MC: Cem Veysel (25), MC: Yavuz Terzi (27), AMC: Arif Tas (26), ST: Timurdogan Ozbey (20)
Notable Reserves: DR: Yildirim Albayrak (20), DC: Ergun Okanoglu (32), DL: Abdullah Havutcu (33), DM: Tugay Kazakoglu (30), DC: Demir Altinmaden (18)
Players to Watch: Timurdogan Ozbey, Yildiray Sabuktiginoglu, Farooq Nawfal
Previous Finish: 10th
Analysis: Kilicspor are always the favourites for relegation, every year and yet they remain in the Super League. Quite how is beyond a lot of our understandings, but if we could point to a single player, the titanic efforts of Yildiray Sabuktiginoglu, a rotational player for the national team, would be emblematic of their never say die attitude, despite their lack of quality across the board. Their antics have earned them a surprising fan base across the nation and beyond, with their first foreign player in the form of Farooq Nawfal, coming from Basque University expected to contribute early in their starting XI. While we love them and would enjoy another year of antics from them, I think it's a year too far for them and they will be the first team relegated.

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XV - PART FOUR

KFA CUP QUARTER FINALS
In the end, the clock was bound to strike midnight; that it did so quite spectacularly was perhaps a little harsh on plucky Aylesford. Neathill, too, were crushed as they exited the competition, whilst Ashton and Ousevale join Mercia and the Reds in the semis after comfortable wins.

Ashton Olympic 2-0 Caledon Simpson
Aylesford 0-7 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 3-0 Beckton Supermarine
Neathill 0-4 Emberton Reds

MATCHDAY 31
Mercia's brief at this stage is simple; just keep winning. Bradwell, now safely ensconsed in mid-table, proved little opposition this week.

The chasing pack both faced sides in the bottom three, and both went to the form book. Westleigh's point at Leston, then, could prove very useful as they are now two points clear of the drop.

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

MATCHDAY 32
And that, for Ousevale, may well be that. Royal Emberton fought hard for their point, and it means that with Mercia and Stanton both winning, the Tigers are now seven points off the lead.

It also means Stanton are second. Nosebleeds are being reported across the Harbour City.

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

MATCHDAY 33
Mercia know the brief; alas, Ashton don't. The team from the south-west welcomed the Midlanders...and sent them packing. Stanton Town, meanwhile, weren't so sloppy. A win over Norton means they're now just two points off top spot.

Say it quietly, too, but Avidia United may not be out of this yet either. They've found form again at just the right time - ask the Reds - and though they're eight off the lead, they're only one behind a freefalling Ousevale.

Results:
Emberton Reds 1-6 Avidia United
Leston Town 0-1 Caversham
Ashton Olympic 2-0 Mercia Bromham
Westleigh Athletic 0-2 Bromham City
Notegia Rangers 2-3 Avidia City
Beckton Supermarine 1-2 Caledon Simpson
Bradwell Saints 2-0 New Cefn Albion
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Ousevale Borough
Stanton Town 1-0 Norton
Royal Emberton 3-0 Adanac City

MATCHDAY 34
We said Avidia United weren't going down without a fight, and they didn't half prove that at the Cygnus Stadium. The league leaders were taken down by the reigning champions, who are now only five points off top spot.

That said top spot is still Mercia's at all, meanwhile, lays at the feet of Royal Emberton, who stole two points of the still inexplicably second Stanton Town. Speaking of inexplicable, answers on a postcard if anyone remembers the last time Ousevale lost four on the trot (thanks, Beckton!).

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

MATCHDAY 35
That...might well be that. Mercia absolutely annihilated Emberton "Thirteenth? Really?!?" Reds, the Avidian derby saw United inflict City's one hundredth goal conceded this season, and in the end, the cheeky buggers on the Beck were out-sauced by Casuals. The men in the navy and white stripes should have this sewn up now, right?

At the other end, meanwhile, it's very much three from four, as five points separate bottom side Avidia City and on-the-bubble Westleigh. Notegia aren't technically safe yet either, but it would take a calamitous last three games, and both Westleigh and Norton winning out for them to go down.

Results:
Emberton Reds 3-7 Mercia Bromham
Caversham 1-0 Bromham City
Avidia United 5-1 Avidia City
Leston Town 0-2 Caledon Simpson
Ashton Olympic 3-1 New Cefn Albion
Westleigh Athletic 2-6 Ousevale Borough
Notegia Rangers 2-1 Norton
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 Adanac City
Bradwell Saints 0-2 Royal Emberton
Casuals Osteria 1-0 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 36
The Eagles fought hard, but in the end couldn't keep up their title defence. Defeat in New Cefn means they're officially out of the title race. Mercia, meanwhile, will have the champagne on order if not on ice; both they and Stanton won, and the gap remains at four points with two to play.

At the bottom, nobody's dropped yet, though Avidia City are staring into the abyss praying it doesn't stare back. Norton's win over Westleigh doesn't get them out of the bottom three, but it does put them within a point of the Westies and safety.

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

KFA CUP SEMI FINALS
Ashton's hunt for silverware goes on. With Ousevale having completely collapsed - and put themselves back together again - in recent weeks, the Cup is pretty much all they have left, and they put the Bears to the sword.

In the other semi, Emberton Reds (whose league ambitions died months ago) finally decided to do something and killed off Mercia's hopes for a double. The irony of this being at the home ground of the only side who can deny them the title may not have been lost on the Midlanders either.

Ashton Olympic 0-4 Ousevale Borough (@ County Ground, Dereapolis)

MATCHDAY 37
In the end, six words pretty much ended the season: Westleigh Athletic one, Stanton Town nil.

The early kick-off guaranteed Mercia the title (they beat New Cefn anyway), relegated Avidia (who later lost to confirm last place), and meant that Norton had to beat Avidia United to stay in with a chance of survival (no chance). With Adanac only picking up the one point from Leston, they're on the precipice as well.

Results:
Emberton Reds 4-1 Avidia City - Avidia City are relegated
Bromham City 0-1 Caledon Simpson
Mercia Bromham 1-0 New Cefn Albion - Mercia Bromham are champions
Caversham 0-1 Ousevale Borough
Avidia United 2-1 Norton - Norton are relegated
Leston Town 1-1 Adanac City
Ashton Olympic 1-0 Royal Emberton
Westleigh Athletic 1-0 Stanton Town
Notegia Rangers 1-2 Casuals Osteria
Beckton Supermarine 3-0 Bradwell Saints

MATCHDAY 28
In the end, the Hockanucks left themselves just too much to do. A draw against Caversham couldn't save them, and despite losing to Bradwell, Westleigh are safe. Stanton's win over Leston, meanwhile, guarantees third place.

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

KFA CUP FINAL
With the Reds in the final, it means a game on home turf. Not that it helped, as the Cup ended bedecked in the white and black ribbons of Ousevale. Still, good news for Avidia United, who go into the Challengers Cup.

Result (@ Isserson Stadium, Emberton):
Emberton Reds 2-3 Ousevale Borough

The Astograthian Football League
Season 682 Preview

The Astograthian Football League returns to international competition with its 37th season. Will Sporting Iturributa retain the title? Will Iturributa United snatch it from their rivals? Can Royal Rumiatzi, Ituraitz FC and Urbizania Wanderers hold back the Iturributan menace? Can Athletic Olarria affirm themselves in IFCF qualification? Will Echegoyan FC and Astograth University recover their places near the top of Astograthian football, or are newcomers Antiguoko FC, Sporting Arkamo and Royal Ibarbe too much of a challenge? Can the tiny Bakartirla Buccaneers survive more than one season? Will Blue Mountain Range ever win something? This and more, to come.

Antiguoko FC
Ground: The Enclave (32,700), Antiguoko
Colours: Red and white quarters, red shorts and socks
Major rivals: Gesterlake FC, Royal Arexa (all historic)
Major honours: None
Main sponsor: Yogutz (dairy)
Manager: Ikatz Ansotegi, 3rd season in charge
Starting Lineup: GK - Firmo Lerendegi, LB - Hats Lizondo, CB - Eyande Osamiz, CB - Hanot Benaza ©, RB - Urtsua Bengoa, DM - Lauaxeta Amas, LM - Urgutz Barnachea, RM - Arixo Usay, AM - Uzuri Borthagaray, CF - Edur Ustarroz, CF - Olentzaro Karazatorre
Bench: GK - Arano Ilaria, GK - Maore Garaikoechea, LB - Yaizki Gerrekagoytia, CB - Yake Gurina, CB - Unai Espezua, CB - Adon Aburto, RB - Kusko Ibarrondo, DM - Todor Biota, LM - Zabal Legarda, RM - Edur Bayarri, CM - Urtungo Kereyazu, AM - Iker Baraza, CF - Kaiet Izurrategi, CF - Aurken Erenio, CF - Balesio Gangoitia
Seasons in the First Division: 10 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Top-half finish
Pundits’ prediction: 10th of 20
Notes: Antiguoko, historically a second-tier side, have soared since they earned promotion in season 677. First under manager Milian Erburu and now Ikatz Ansotegi, Antiguoko have established themselves as a solid mid-table side which, fans hope, can gradually climb into the top half of the table and the vaunted Top 6 of Astograthian football. The season’s major signing is 28 year-old left winger Urgutz Barnachea, joining from Royal Rumiatzi. He’ll line up alongside an experienced set of defenders and a young, exciting attacking trio in Borthagaray, Ustarroz and Karazatorre.

Astograth University
Ground: Arritzola (36,350), Rumiatzi

Seasons in the First Division: 31 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Mid-table finish
Pundits’ prediction: 18th of 20
Notes: Astograth University are a fallen giant. Two-time First Division champions, the AU once boasted one of the best squads in Rushmore. Now, they’ve failed to finish in the top half of the table for five seasons straight while cycling through managers and players, despair increasing. Erramu Anchorena took charge of the team in the middle of last season and, though failing to impress, at least steered the side clear of relegation. Signing the ageing Pagomari Taraskon from Royal Rumiatzi doesn’t seem like it will be enough to turn around this ship, with pundits predicting them to battle at the very bottom of the table. Dark times at Arritzola.

Seasons in the First Division: 26 of 37
Fans’ expectation: IFCF qualification
Pundits’ prediction: 6th of 20
Notes: Athletic Club Olarria, though yet to win a major national honour, are on the up and up. Recent 4th-place finishes mean they can reasonably aspire to qualifying for the Challengers’ Cup, and from there who knows? They’ve lost manager Eriz Bakaikoa to Urbizania Wanderers, but Ituraitz Victory’s Ikatz Alberro is expected to be a capable replacement. On top of having Gogo Echegoimberry, tied for last season’s top scorer, Alberro’s first three signings – Marko Martel from Sporting Iturributa, Altzibar Sarrible from Ituraitz FC and Ubelteso Peruchena from Royal Arexa – are all promising players and go straight to the starting lineup, which bodes well for the direction the team is taking.

Seasons in the First Division: 30 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Avoid relegation
Pundits’ prediction: 19th of 20
Notes: Despite reaching last season’s Royal Cup final, Athletic Rumiatzi’s outlook seems grim going into 682, with a squad made up largely of second-tier regulars and big teams’ leftovers. They’ve renewed their defense and midfield with some smart signings, but losing 19 year-old centre-back Cherran Goyeche to Ituraitz FC, their best prospect in years, is a hard blow – even if he brought in some much-needed cash. Pundits predict them to be stuck in the relegation battle throughout, and manager Zomoza’s neck may be on the block well before season’s end.

Seasons in the First Division: 2 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Avoid relegation
Pundits’ prediction: 20th of 20
Notes: The only professional club in the remote island province of Bakartirla, the Buccaneers made their début in the Astograthian top flight the season before last, immediately dropping down before bouncing back. They seem to be unfortunately caught between being too good for the Second Division but not good enough for the First. Their squad is rated the worst of those in competition and therefore likely to have another yo-yo season, though they have managed to sign Eshani centre-midfielder Esmail Wilhelm from Blue Mountain Range and journeyman left-winger Ereinkor Ybarrola from Urbizania Wanderers.

Seasons in the First Division: 9 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Avoid relegation
Pundits’ prediction: 12th of 20
Notes: After a solid run of mid-table finishes, Basabe Old Boys collapsed in the 680 season, falling all the way to bottom of the table. For the following season in the second tier they were able to retain the core of their squad and, with local legend Ixidor Bernales at the wheel, stormed back to the top flight. Striker Petrigai Errezarret remains one of the most fearsome in the league, and if they can maintain last season’s rhythm of play, Old Boys look well-positioned to return to their mid-table ways.

Seasons in the First Division: 34 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Top-half finish
Pundits’ prediction: 11th of 20
Notes: Blue Mountain Range are the most conservative team in the league, at least in terms of football. Ever faithful to the karela lifestyle, their 5-2-2-1 formation is a classic that managers are instructed to maintain no matter the price. That and some hard-hitting, no-nonsense players are what the fans demand, even if trying something different might get them closer to silverware. On the other hand, beating the pulp out of Echegoyan FC twice a season may be enough reward. Whatever the case, BMR continue to be a strong mid-table team with the highest height average, goals per shots average, and bookings per match average in the league.

Seasons in the First Division: 35 of 37
Fans’ expectation: IFCF qualification
Pundits’ prediction: 7th of 20
Notes: Another case of fallen champions, Echegoyan FC have struggled to remain relevant in this latest incarnation of the First Division – since the refounding, they’ve only challenged once for the title, finishing 3rd six seasons ago. Their direct rivals for a place in the Top 6 of Astograthian football are Athletic Olarria, and Echegoyan seem to be on the losing end. In this pre-season they’ve signed Dunixi Izambizaga from Ituraitz Victory, who was originally an Echegoyan academy product, have the Eshani Lukasz Adalmek on the right wing, and two of the best Astograthians in their positions in attacking midfielder Emenon Ulibarri and goalkeeper Perucho Garabieta. Yet, their two best prospects in Barea Yaurregiberry and Ongile Yraola have left for Ituraitz FC and Iturributa United, which leaves behind the bitter taste of having become a feeder club.

Seasons in the First Division: 10 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Avoid relegation
Pundits’ prediction: 17th of 20
Notes: Garitzeta Racing Club were declared winners of the very last Iturributan Premier Division title, the only one awarded to someone other than Iturributa United or Sporting Iturributa, by virtue of them being 1st when the unfinished season was cut short by the Astograthian re-annexation. They then put together possibly the most unlikely UICA season of all time, reaching the final of the Champions’ Cup and taking it all the way to a penalty shoot-out. Those heights seem like a fever dream now. After finishing fifth in the reinaugural season of the First Division, they promptly dropped to the Second Division, spent three years there, and have now spent the last three seasons fending off relegation. Fielding the ageing stars of other teams alongside former national team goalkeeper Zigor Marrorena, Garitzeta Racing have experience on their side but are one injury crisis away from being sent down to the second tier.

Seasons in the First Division: 23 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Mid-table finish
Pundits’ prediction: 13th of 20
Notes: Gesterlake FC, by then a fixture of the First Division, were shockingly relegated during season 679. The following season they were denied entry into the promotion play-offs by the slimmest of margins. The players who’d stuck around to help the club back into the top flight, including standout forward Aner Bermeyiyo and centre-back Haitz Araistegi, were convinced to stay for one more season by manager Kimetz Obonaga, and so it was: Gesterlake ran out Second Division champions, edging Basabe Old Boys by one point. They look in good enough shape to avoid relegation and possibly achieve a mid-table finish, mixing young homegrown talent with a variety of veteran journeymen.

Seasons in the First Division: 19 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Mid-table finish
Pundits’ prediction: 16th of 20
Notes: Gortz United, the team propped up by Astograthian legend Dei Ormache and his connections with Polarian sponsors, has been teetering in recent years. Though by now a well-established top flight club, Gortz suffer from high player turnover, either due to poor signings or the need to make a profit. Inconsistent results means they could be looking at another mid-table finish or a relegation battle; either way, they’ll be relying on goalkeeper Yuango Herrera, formerly of Ituraitz FC, and 34 year-old forward Eguntzenti Belaskez, formerly of Iturributa United, to make the difference.

Seasons in the First Division: 37 of 37
Fans’ expectation: The title
Pundits’ prediction: 3rd of 20
Notes: Ituraitz FC are, on the whole, the most successful club in Astograthian football. After two successive titles some years back, the second of them a double in their centenary year, have come four relatively quiet seasons. They’ve been runners-up once and failed to reach a Royal Cup final, so manager Tomas Aer has stepped aside for former Astograthian international Abdoulaye Bocandé, previously at Royal Ibarbe, to see if he can take Ituraitz back to the top. He’s immediately made some bold choices, promotions and purchases. Among these, picking the young Teyo Menbieye to step up and replace retired forward Apal Gebara. and snapping up Cherran Goyeche from Athletic Rumiatzi and Aire Kobelas from Basabe Old Boys with an eye to prepare them as future starters. Bocandé’s starting lineup, most of them joining after Aer’s best years, are reaching the peak of their careers and seem quite capable of winning for the title.

Seasons in the First Division: 27 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Mid-table finish
Pundits’ prediction: 15th of 20
Notes: Though Royal Ibarbe will dispute it, Ituraitz Victory are the oldest football club in Astograth. The last few years have not been kind to them, with money troubles and the threat of relegation constantly hanging heavy. Manager Ikatz Alberro, a legend at Ituraitz FC, has been snapped up by Athletic Olarria, leaving them to hire Soin Zumaeta, who will have his début stint in the First Division. Zumaeta has sought to make an impact right away by offloading deadwood to the second tier, which was praised, and made five signings right out of the gate, nearly all of which raised eyebrows by being well over 30. The gambit has proven controversial without a ball yet kicked, but pundits predict another tough season for Victory.

Seasons in the First Division: 20 of 37
Fans’ expectation: The title
Pundits’ prediction: 5th of 20
Notes: The trend over the years has been that, when one of the Iturributan giants does well, the other is spurred on to chase. So it was last season when, despite not being touted for the title, Iturributa United rose to challenge a brilliant Sporting Iturributa and finished 2nd while also winning the Royal Cup, a strong showing after two years of mediocre results. Despite pundits again predicting they won’t have what it takes to win the title, Sporting’s run of form could again inspire United into great things. They certainly have the raw talent for it, despite their often-criticised defending. Captain Beltza Urkizo is known to be the finest central midfielder in Astograth, and forwards Yokin Arana and Hitzeder Lizalde are the most lethal pairing in the league, scoring 37 goals between the two of them last season.

Seasons in the First Division: 16 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Mid-table finish
Pundits’ prediction: 14th of 20
Notes: Lekubegi Guerrikaechebarria, despite rocky early spells in management, has quietly fashioned Royal Arexa into an unspectacular but efficient little machine, winning promotion and holding steady to remain in the First Division. This season they’ve lost playmaker Ubelteso Peruchena, who really came into his own last year, to Athletic Olarria, but incoming signings Yasone Riz and Naya Urchegia, both from Echegoyan FC, may be enough to offset the loss. Fans and pundits are unsure of whether to read the lack of urgency at the club as confidence that the team is ready to survive in the top flight, or a sign of sleeping on their laurels; either way, they won’t have an easy season.

Notes: Royal Ibarbe, hailing from a wealthy area of the Greater Rumiatzi metropolitan area, have consistently stunned Astograth over the last five seasons. Previously a minor yo-yo club, Ibarbe have cemented themselves in the top half of the table, first under manager Zuriko Eliz and latterly under Abdoulaye Bocandé. New boss Mikel Aluztiza has his work cut out for him just maintaining the same kind of results. So far, he hasn’t rocked the boat too much and retained the core of Bocandé’s lineup, with some additions that have been praised as steals – namely, Loiola Urpi from the bench of Ituraitz FC and Oxel Porkel, key defensive midfielder of the relegated Iturributa Racing Club.

Seasons in the First Division: 37 of 37
Fans’ expectation: The title
Pundits’ prediction: 2nd of 20
Notes: Royal Rumiatzi have not enjoyed the international success of some of their competitors, but will still proudly call themselves the most successful team in the country. They are certainly the most demanding, at least. Sicoutian manager Louis Vaudrail, formerly of Gesterlake and Athletic Olarria, earned his place in the hearts of Rumiatzi fans by delivering them their first title of the new First Division, followed by beating Urbizania Wanderers in the Royal Cup final the following season. The clubs’ notoriously volatile patience has, however, been tested by 4th and 3rd-place league finishes, and if Vaudrail can’t deliver another championship this season, he is likely to find himself out of a job. His squad may not be quite on Sporting’s level, but is still outstanding: Nepharim goalkeeper Carsten Thunder between the sticks, a veteran defense with the best right-back in the league in Ilixo Paguape, a dynamic midfield kept ticking by the magic of Azeari Duarte, and two titans in attack in the form of Mendebal Unda and Yasone Urdanibia, each a multiple-time league top scorer.

Seasons in the First Division: 9 of 37
Fans’ expectation: Top-half finish
Pundits’ prediction: 9th of 20
Notes: In a few short years, Sporting Arkamo have gone from being a minor provincial team that had never played in the top flight, to being the best club in the eastern regions and a mid-table mainstay of the First Division. Innovative managers, first in Machin Logegaray and now the man known simply as Galeano, combined with a smart institutional transfer policy, has resulted in a balanced squad that values consistency over star power. If they can consistently finish in the top half, then taking on the likes of Echegoyan or Athletic Olarria further up the table is not out of the question.

Seasons in the First Division: 20 of 37
Fans’ expectation: The title
Pundits’ prediction: 1st of 20
Notes: Sporting Iturributa have been the most consistent team since the re-inauguration of the First Division, winning two titles and not finishing once outside the top 3. The defending champions look to be, on paper, the best team in the competition. Their squad balances emerging talent with top-flight veterans, and, faithful to tradition, features by far the best defense in the league. Manager Zorion Legeren, going on his 13th season at the helm, has combined this with a tireless midfield that can expertly switch between attack and defense, stifling the opposition’s midfield and making the most of their chances through forward Egoitz Laurnagaray. This season, with the retirement of playmaker Tzemeno Zubiria, they’ve signed Audioslavian midfielder Ximun Blacksdove-Beukers by buying out his contract from Royal Rumiatzi – payback for the numerous times the Knights have done the same to them. Blacksdove-Beukers has gone from being on the bench for Rumiatzi’s Azeari Duarte to having all eyes on him – big things are expected, not least delivering Sporting’s 5th title.

Seasons in the First Division: 37 of 37
Fans’ expectation: The title
Pundits’ prediction: 4th of 20
Notes: Wanderers, though three-time champions under Tzemeno Baxterrika, suffered from severe inconsistency under his tenure – one season dropping as low as 9th or 6th, the next running away with the title. Baxterrika has resigned after nearly a decade in charge and in comes Eriz Bakaikoa, the man responsible for guiding Athletic Olarria to their best results ever. He has set to work reconfiguring the team to his vision, but pundits expect this to be something of a transitional season, as the squad adjusts to Bakaikoa’s management and sheds some of its veterans, while its core players are not yet at peak performance. The greatest question is how much longer it will take for the team’s ageing Farf captain Jê Çìró, responsible for the club’s greatest feats under Baxterrika, to slow down, and whether he’ll bring the rest of the squad down with him.

Gold Coast international football stadium is a very nice stadium it holds up to 104,000 people and is the largest stadium in northwest Kalactin. Many people are surprised that the stadium has a retractable roof even though it is very hot in northwest Kalactin in fact the reason why the roof is there is because of the heat! One time it was 114 degrees Farinheight in Gold Coast so they put the roof up. Another thing to look for at the stadium is the before game tailgating there are many food trucks that stop by there and take advantage of the huge crowds. Lastly , be sure to visit the Northwest Kalactin soccer hall of fame that has many interesting artifacts jerseys and other stuff from Kalactanian football.

In the opening quarter of the season, Manat found themselves invincible, scoring freely upon any and all of their opponents averaging five goals a match while conceding less than one on average per match. Uryanspor are the closest challengers to the champions, winning matches with their suffocating defence and getting just enough offensive output to eek out victories, though the one exception was their 2-0 defeat at the hands of Hisar FK who have had a slow start to the season looking as if their hopes of a title challenge are distant without a significant pick up in their form. Tashkentspor have meanwhile had been something of a surprise package, keeping pace with Uryanspor and going undefeated in their first nine matches, looking like stronger challengers over the whole season to Manat than Uryanspor at this point. DBFT barely edged out Hisar for fourth place, with their side being let down by their offensive output more than anything else.

At the other end of the table, Sariirmakspor got off to a horrendous start, languishing in last place with no wins in their first nine matches, boding poorly for their chances of avoiding relegation, mustering a pathetic return of one goal in nine matches. Kilicspor suffered from a similar issue, though they tripled their nearest rivals offensive output with three goals. Demir Buyukkentspor found themselves early struggler's though only one point behind Altinmaden Isciler in 14th place and they at least recorded some positive results in their first nine matches.

At the halfway point of the season, as the teams got ready for the Vizier's Cup break, Manat were no longer undefeated, with Kilicspor inflicting a shocking defeat upon them just before the break, they maintained a narrow lead ahead of their city rivals Hisar who hit a strong bit of form rising into second and trailing the champions closely while Uryanspor remain on the outside looking in at the title challenge. Tashkent have a firm grip on fourth place and the final IFCF place from the Super League while Elektriklestirmespor will be desperately trying to rise above them in the second half of the season to take fourth spot from them.

The teams from 12th to bottom are separated by a mere 5 points, with Sariirmakspor making up for their abysmal start and managing to get themselves off bottom spot and Caykur Denizspor maintaining a health distance from Kilicspor who occupy the last relegation spot, by virtue of their shock win over champions Manat in the 18th match day. Urukspor find themselves at the bottom, with little in the way of hope for their defence which has conceded an obscene 41 goals in the first half of the season, only Altinmaden Isciler have conceded more with 41 goals.

Vizier's Cup Stays in The Capital

The Vizier's Cup took the 54 TimLig teams and pitted them against 10 teams from the lower divisions who qualified through a series of cups of their own, providing a 64 team format that lead teams to the final at Halkın Güneş Çiftliği Stadium in Elektriklestirme. The biggest overachievers were lower league club Velimesespor, who made it all the way to the Quarter Final, who overcame Kuyucakspor, Amateur League leaders Sadarakspor, Worker's League mediocrities Altinordu, before their dismantling at the hands of Hisar 12-0 over both legs. Expect much interest in whether Velimesespor make it into the Amateur League from the lower divisions with the new integrated pro/rel system.

The final was an eventful and bitter affair between the two Demir rivals, Hisar and Manat, the classic "Class War Derby" played out in and it took a last second goal from Hisar captain Eichi Fujiwara to determine who got their hands on the first piece of silverware this year. It went to the team currently looking to put pressure on Manat, many are now speculating the defeat may play some role in the remainder of the season, sowing doubt in the Manat squad.
