Selpernim T20 Smash Preview

Aubury Maroons
Stadium: Timberton Oval (12800) in Aubury, Leeshire
Alois Lyness (25) - L med/L Opener, Ernest Amandinscale (24) - L orth/L Opener, Herbert Doyle (30) - R off/R Batsman, Ronald Taylor (25) - L med/L All-rounder, Iogan yBydwrwst (19) - R med/R Batsman, Augustus Brenchley (33) - L med/L Wicketkeeper, Toljo (f) Jorse SAJ (35) - R off/R All-rounder, Lasrewll yChallril (25) - L unorth/L Spin Bowler, Lewis Tilcott (27) - L unorth/L Spin Bowler, Elsa (f) Cazla SAJ (26) - L unorth/L Spin Bowler, Roger Bush KRY (22) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
The issue of handedness always comes up in Ko-oren. Lefties are pushed more and more into sports like baseball and cricket where handedness plays a larger role, and yet the top of Ko-orenite cricket - which is exactly where small edges like those pay off - is majority right-handed. Except the Maroons, who decided to starve the rest of the competition to such an extent that they have seven left-handed starters: that might be a bit much. More than that: they are all-in on spin bowling, adding Krytenia's Bush for the necessary quicker deliveries. Apart from the Sajnur stars, we're looking forward to what Taylor and Tilcott bring to the table.

Burnet Rubies
Stadium: Ruby Hills (10000) in Burnet, Burnet Island
Reginald Twaddle (28) - R fast/R Opener, Benajah Potter (26) - R fast/R Opener, Paul Leweshade (22) - R med/R Batsman, Bennie Connell (26) - R fast/R All-rounder, Helmer Barbary (28) - R med/R Batsman, Cwin yRwceinaig (18) - L med/L All-rounder, Judson Windsor (28) - R med/R Batsman, Andre Berrisk SAJ (28) - L/L Wicketkeeper, Enoch Teakton (24) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Thad Stanway (27) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Alva (f) Belwick (21) - R leg/R Spin Bowler
Remember the Maroons from above? The Rubies have the opposite problem. Nine right-handed players. And they're highly skewed towards the bowling, which means this could be a very predictable team - let's hope that the Rubies know what they're building. They're bowling exactly what every batsman grows up facing, without the batting stars to help them out. And you might see the name Twaddle - he's a hell of a player in Tests and ODIs, but has never made T20 his own. Aside from Twaddle, Berrisk and Teakton carry a lot of expectations. If the Rubies can grab as much talent next year, they should be a force soon... just not now (yet).

Eastern Miners
Stadium: Goledon Oval (25005) in Bruncester, Surbourneshire
Uriah Weller (26) - R fast/R Opener, Parhelgelu Naulstithinthen (28) - R med/R Opener, Blaine Risewell (27) - R fast/R Batsman, Mike Mothdrow (23) - L med/L Batsman, Riannion Salinas GTK (26) - L/L Batsman, Masheck Scargate (22) - L orth/L Wicketkeeper, Algernon Renbeck (18) - L fast/L All-rounder, Elijah Lever (28) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Filip Stormdoop SRN (22) - R med/R Pace Bowler, Bill Burnbrough (19) - L orth/L Spin Bowler, Lachlan Harvey (34) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
A ruthless pace attack on the dry tracks in the east - the Miners know exactly what they need to win matches on home soil and as such they're the only team to run with three pacers (not counting all-rounders). In addition, they have the young Burnbrough to supply spin as well, so he'll be key in some away matches. Scargate and Renbeck are very talented, Stormdoop and Burnbrough should come through for them, and Salinas is a welcome Anaian addition.

Greencaster Bears
Stadium: Greencaster Oval (50000) in Greencaster, Surbourneshire
Lander Chiplinn (20) - L med/L Opener, Denis Treloar (26) - L orth/L Opener, Stuart Solomons (26) - L med/L Batsman, Ponladd ySeomchan (31) - R med/R Batsman, Jean-Charles Bon (22) - R med/R All-rounder, Claude Purcell (34) - R med/R Wicketkeeper, Dewitt Cheyne (27) - R med/R All-rounder, Lesomhof yPipaem (23) - L fast/L Pace Bowler, Aurélien Galipeau (19) - R off/R Spin Bowler, Paul Brakefield (28) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Algernon Silkquand (18) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
A bit of a middling team right now, in search of direction. Chiplinn, Solomons, and Silkquand are probably the better players on the team. They didn't get any international players, and it only feels like they're falling further behind the city rivals, the Heralds. Cheyne and yPipaem excel in other formats - and even then, they haven't been on the national team in a while. The lineup is the most 'by the book': four bowlers, bit of left and right - so you'd think for a team that got its roster building so correct, that there would be more to look forward to. Still, the Bears will probably be a competitive team.

Greencaster Heralds
Stadium: Greencaster Oval (50000) in Greencaster, Surbourneshire
Carlton Shapter (27) - R off/R Opener, Stanley Langhorne (32) - R med/R Opener, Reginald Trevelskill (19) - R off/R Batsman, Silas Hazelflower (24) - R med/R Batsman, Millhef yChirnall (23) - L fast/L All-rounder, Baptiste Sagan (19) - L unorth/L All-rounder, Reuben Rochcaster (18) - L unorth/L All-rounder, Gilbert Wheelwright (35) - R med/R Wicketkeeper, Bert Chapman (24) - L med/L Pace Bowler, Julian White (23) - L unorth/L Spin Bowler, Iona (f) Finisterbrook (18) - L fast/L Pace Bowler
Not only is this the best team from what we can see, they're also the youngest at just 23.8 years on average. The expertly crafted roster didn't feel it needed international stars. And even with local talent only, they got the right balance in right vs left, and they're leading a movement among T20 clubs that says you only need three bowlers, with two all-rounders, to have what you need in the short format - it's all about batting now. It's star after star with Shapter, Trevelskill, yChirnall, Wheelwright, Chapman, and Finisterbrook.

Idyllwild Antlers
Stadium: Dawsend Oval (14000) in Idyllwild, Corridor
Moses Scovell (22) - L med/L Opener, Marcus Morgan KRY (25) - /R Opener, Dallas Welsh (34) - R med/R Batsman, Dayton Callaton (22) - R off/R All-rounder, Fewmtol yDigtawr (32) - L med/L Batsman, Ryan Watling KRY (28) - /R Batsman, Rubio Zavala GTK (29) - L/L All-rounder, Leonard Palmer (25) - R off/R Wicketkeeper, Leopold Kidd (24) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Gordon Maguire KRY (27) - L med/L Pace Bowler, Martin Etherington (37) - R leg/R Spin Bowler
Much improved by foreign players, the Antlers had something of a rebuild coming at some point, with the oldest roster on average at 27.7. Hang on, that's not actually that old. The biggest change to last year is the addition of some foreign firepower, with Zavala, the Maguire, Morgan, and Watling now walking around in Idyllwild - who would have ever thought. The best players on the team are pretty easy to identify: it's the same four names. Palmer and Scovell add some much needed local quality. All in all, the Antlers have a pretty good team now, and it only took them one year to turn it around.

Linieux Lieutenants
Stadium: Ovale Liniane (6600) in Linieux, Cote Austral
Benton Leaby (24) - R fast/R Opener, Daniel Fomleya SYL (36) - L orth/L Opener, Ferdinand Carson (26) - L med/L Batsman, Godfrey Prater (25) - L fast/L All-rounder, Hayden Wheelock GTK (24) - R/R Batsman, Eli Hunniford (34) - R med/R Wicketkeeper, Caitlyn (f) Elliott SYL (19) - R off/R All-rounder, Samuel Cross SYL (23) - R med/R All-rounder, Giles Tinder (24) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Kate (f) Sonnel SYL (18) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Augustus Smith (26) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
The Lieutenants are another team that have struggled to find a niche in the slightly-out-of-market city of Linieux, but they too looked at their few local academies and decided to get the international players. Four Sylestoners trot out for the Lieutenants, making them immediately a team to fear. Fomleya and Sonnel are huge names, but the rest can't be overlooked. Add to that the slugging of Wheelock and you've got a good combo. What the international program has done, is to put all teams very close together in quality, so we'll see what happens next. As far as Ko-orenite players go, it's Prater and Hunniford to look out for.

Mawrystwyth Mustangs
Stadium: Bwdellafon Parc (17750) in Mawrystwyth, Mawryshire
Tawmin yFhireath (34) - R off/R Opener, Nawmcil yPherner (32) - R med/R Opener, Conor yAraidd (25) - L orth/L Batsman, Llowcan yRheighewn (34) - R med/R Batsman, Francis Barklas (19) - L orth/L All-rounder, Jon DeBruut SRN (21) - /L Batsman, Elysedd yBymadoc (23) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Marscha (f) DeSaari SRN (31) - /R Wicketkeeper, Caprws ySarthylhar (30) - L orth/L Spin Bowler, Philander Magcay (23) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Nia (f) yEdenw (24) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
A team firmly rooted in Mawryshire, and opting, more often than not, to utilise just the local flavours. That said, when the Sarian announced they were in, the Mustangs jumped on the opportunity. This already was an impressive team, and now it has a title quality to it. yAraidd is a special talent that Ko-oren might have brought forth only a handful of times, if that, and with yRheighewn (the multi-format wonder), and ySarthylhar, three of the best players of the NT aren't just Mawr, they're also on the Mustangs. DeBruut and DeSaari look like they might play a supportive role due to that, but they're also capable of putting the team on their backs.

Mayara Marauders
Stadium: Kherodru Oval (7900) in Mayara, KCT
Stanley Newman (25) - R off/R Opener, Grover Treadway (33) - R med/R Opener, Lucius Letchford (27) - L orth/L Batsman, Cuddaring Jinnamoora (23) - R off/R Batsman, Genorak Dherengun (22) - L fast/L Batsman, Lucius Becksmith (20) - L fast/L All-rounder, Sundhuril Pandherinthen (31) - L unorth/L All-rounder, Abe Oceanberry (20) - /L Wicketkeeper, Onesan Parentendahndhen (24) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Borllog yLellmedd (27) - R off/R Spin Bowler, Totokun Multherinden (24) - L fast/L Pace Bowler
They hoped to find some international players, but failed to sign any. Instead, they looked for all the batting talent they could find. And they found some (or retained some): Letchford is a player with the class of yAraidd of the Mustangs, or one of about three or four legendary batsman we have. Somehow, in T20, Ko-oren has enough batting talent, and not enough bowling talent, while the problem is reverse in other formats. Aside from Letchford, the opening duo both know how to establish an innings. Oceanberry is a bit of a wildcard, an unlikely talent, found in an unlikely way and ending up on an unlikely team, but here we are. The Marauders have done things slightly differently - if you're looking for unorthodox talent, here it is.

Norille Chevron Vert
Stadium: Stade Échechade (9000) in Norille, Corridor
Lyojall Firembee (24) - L fast/L Opener, Emmett Wellcroft (20) - /R Opener, Cofan ySalw (23) - R med/R Batsman, Arnold Douglas (25) - R off/R All-rounder, Theophilus Armfellow (20) - R med/R Batsman, Azhek Parentendahndhen (23) - L med/L Wicketkeeper, Grajs (f) Vioolspeler SRN (31) - R med/R All-rounder, William Thrall (27) - R fast/R Pace Bowler, Mitchell Enright (24) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Ward Corney (24) - L unorth/L Spin Bowler, Rutherford Lincoln (34) - R leg/R Spin Bowler
With three spin bowlers, they're bigger on spin than even the Mawryshire clubs. The real strength of the team should lie in batting, however. It's a plan, and they need one, as Norille have ranked towards the bottom of the competition since its inception. They do have the best opener in T20, with Firembee, but not with the help he needs until we get all the way over to Vioolspeler as an all-rounder. We're very sorry for her and the position she found herself in, but like we said before: these clubs are all pretty close together, and if it's not now, then Norille will get help next season. Armfellow and Thrall are also not to be underestimated.

Penstead Pirates
Stadium: Ocean Crest Oval (8000) in Penstead, yDremdun
Gavin Bustillo GTK (24) - R/R Opener, Ezekiel Lyveworth (19) - R med/R Opener, Harold Magcay (20) - R leg/R Batsman, Rufus Walstrand (26) - R off/R Batsman, Seophyn yMharwn (33) - R fast/R All-rounder, Neville Ormane (23) - R off/R Batsman, Valentine Butler (23) - L fast/L Wicketkeeper, Casid yTawriegir (20) - L unorth/L All-rounder, Roman Kinghead (34) - L fast/L Pace Bowler, Seymour Bartley (24) - R off/R Spin Bowler, Walter Dencherry (23) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
Penstead is usually the hardest place to bat in. Sure, warm places can conjure some hot air pockets that make the ball do weird things, but the grassy wicket and windy conditions make Penstead the opposite of a 'flat track'. If the batsmen miss, they're at a high risk of going out, but even if they do get a hit, and it's lofted, nobody knows what happens next. That said, Penstead are all in on batting: they know they need some away wins, and the home wins can be taken by just outbatting the visitors while relying on the conditions to bail them out from time to time. The Pirates are a little all-or-nothing, with Magcay, yMharwn (who found his redemption arc in going from Tests to T20Is) and Butler. Bustillo and Walstrand aren't bad at all, but the rest of the team isn't all that.

Willowbourne Zenith
Stadium: Royal Oval (40000) in Willowbourne, Corridor
Ezekiel Stevenson (37) - R leg/R Opener, Irving Reveltree (22) - /L Opener, Jacob Lafaille (25) - R fast/R Batsman, Douglas Trevorrow (28) - R leg/R All-rounder, Gabriela (f) Fiume SAJ (33) - R/R Batsman, Lindsay Carnall (35) - R med/R Batsman, Abe Southstrand (21) - L med/L Wicketkeeper, Garfield Hooligan (30) - L fast/L Pace Bowler, Ffentadd yGofflhaws (25) - R off/R Spin Bowler, Cyril Mellors (25) - R leg/R Spin Bowler, Aglovale Gerrenhale (20) - R fast/R Pace Bowler
A slightly older team (27.4 average). Not just that, but also an experienced batting team. A sneakily strong team, the Zenith have a very well balanced roster that takes from 'not too great individually' to 'there's enough of everything' as it's maybe Mawrystwyth or Idyllwild as the only teams with more all-round rosters, though it's clear that Willowbourne will rely on the batting more. Lafaille and Fiume are the big names there, with Southstrand and Hooligan filling in the rest.

What a blessed way to start a new season. A tie between the upcoming Lieutenants and the middling Maroons, but at least it was at full capacity with both teams really going for it. Well done to the Maroons in limiting what the Lieutenants could do, with two early wickets for Tilcott but we also saw what the Krytenians are adding to this league, with Bush taking four. Taylor then scored 74 not out in the chase.
The Burnet Rubies put up the first huge total of the year - 223 - with Twaddle opening for 31, Potter getting 89, Leweshade going out for 66 for the highest scoring partnership of the first round. Then we closed out round one with three failed chases: the Marauders getting close to but not really to Mawrystwyth Mustangs' 175 (yAraidd 99*, yRheighewn 51*). Willowbourne did a bit too much for the Heralds, but needed nearly the entire roster to contribute. Despite four ducks on the Willowbourne side (two of those delivered by the Heralds' Chapman, who finished on 5 wickets), Fiume was the big scorer for them (73). Good weather and conditions all around in the early-summer, let's hope this stays.

Still no delays, but slightly lower temperatures. No worries, the summer heat will take its toll on the players and fans at some point, but this felt more like early-season first class cricket. Fans subjected to the wind while seated in the shade will have had to bring some blankets, especially in Penstead.
Cazla of the Maroons took five wickets off the Antlers to secure a win by nearly 40 runs. The Heralds complete a nervous chase of the Eastern Miners' 157. The Willowbourne Zenith record another huge score (the biggest of the round) with Lafaille going for 82, Fiume adding a late 20 off 6 deliveries, after Reveltree opened for 41. The Linieux Lieutenants made short work of Norille's target, to send fans home early to warm up under a gray, gloomy sky. Not only did Kate Sonnel show to master Ko-orenite conditions by taking more wickets than her colleagues, her compatriot Fomleya scored 78, not out, as an opener. It really was the match of the Sylestonians.

Norille Chevron Vert 198/2 (18.5 overs) - Aubury Maroons 194/3 (20 overs)

The Aubury Maroons show some resilience with Lyness and Taylor pairing up for their team's biggest partnership of the season yet, and still Norille overcame it with an easy 200-bound innings. Firembee had his first good innings of the season, finally meeting the high expectations. The Stade Échechade was a flat track with little humidity or wind in the way, and all batsmen feasted. The Mayara Marauders also showed signs of life at home with Penstead visiting: surprisingly, it was Jinnamoora who took on the majority of the innings for 82* while Letchford, all eyes on him, went out for 7 (9). The Greencaster Bears also got in on the action, Galipeau and Silkquand both taking three wickets each, but after the damage was already mostly done - but good on them for stopping Willowbourne at 184 instead of a sure 200.

After three, Linieux top the table with their lossless campaign. It's all hands on deck for the Eastern Miners and their winless start.

The rich get richer: the Mustangs, Marauders, and Zenith all add wins while the Miners lose again. The Linieux Lieutenants lose to Mayara for their first loss of the year. At the start of the round, though, we get the Maroons' huge target and the Heralds easily matching it, in a day that has the Timberton Oval look nothing like it usual self. Doyle gets 80 for Aubury, but then Shapter, Langhorne, and Hazelflower all get 30+ while Trevelskill gets to 93 - the closest any batsman has gotten to a century so far. The Mayara Marauders get the highest target of the round with 217: Newman and Treadway have an opening stand of 67 but Dherengun gets them over 200 with a 55 not out. Teakton for the Rubies takes five wickets but leaks runs as Norille gets to the total before going all out.

This round, the Rubies do take the win following an even bigger batting explosion, and Leweshade gets his first T20 century - and the league's first century. The Aubury Maroons don't trust Cazla and Bush in the batting as they fizzle out for 7/109 in a match that was minutes away from losing overs. In fact, all over Ko-oren we have seen a day of apocalyptic rain, though most of it fell before matches started. Heruclean efforts by the groundsmen prevented us from losing overs. We expect these conditions in Mawryshire, but it's Greencaster and the southeast that get the worst of it. Hopefully that'll be it - though further inland nobody noticed any bad weather. Willowbourne Zenith even set the season-highest score so far, Lafaille getting a century as well, while batting with pretty much every team member as wickets also fell easily. The Miners are in the news for the first time in a while, Mothdrow scores 77 and gets the winning boundary. Palmer and Maguire take four wickets each, most of them even during powerplay, to limit the Bears to 113.

We're over halfway there now, with weather better but winds way worse. Cautious batting and lots of fours help, though the wind also carried some questionable shots for six. Penstead gets some cooler temperatures again, even in the middle of summer, while temperatures elsewhere are alright. Willowbourne Zenith continues its nearly flawless run, moving to 5-1 with another batting masterclass by Reveltree, Lafaille, Fiume, and even Southstrand chipping in. The Penstead Pirates can't find their groove, even at home, as they are stuck on one win so far. Idyllwild escapes the far west with a win and an NRR boost, a rare high Idyllwild target, with Welsh and Watling as the big scorers. Welsh gets up to 91, Watling comes in late but adds a fantastic 30 off 11. The Eastern Miners continue their horrid season with a single win to their name, and a big loss to Linieux who have Cross take three wickets and Smith take four.

Things are getting dire for the teams at the bottom. Four teams have two or just one win, but at least the Greencaster Heralds get a third now versus one of the other dire teams, Penstead. yChirnall scores the highest of the day in that win. Elsewhere, the regular crew is building a monster campaign in the T20 season. Burnet gets a valuable win over league leaders Willowbourne, who are surprised by the strangely powerful bowling attack. Berrisk catches three at wicketkeeper, Windsor and Stanway take three each. Burnborough takes six in off Norille on behalf of the Miners and Stormdoop give them few to no runs, and yet the Miners lose... it's that kind of season.

This was very much a week of scores. Regular temperatures and weather, no targets over 200, no silly implosions. Norille look the weakest of the round, as Thrall takes five off the Antlers, and even then they can't tackle the target of 164. Burnet gets another win, this time with Belwick leading the charge as most prolific bowler. Every member of the Burnet bowling attack has had a great stat game now, as one of the (if not the) deepest bowling arsenal in the league. It's not always enough to win, though. Mawrystwyth are on a hot streak, now with a visit to nearby Penstead in the Mawryshire derby. Magcay gets 80+ in the chase but they fizzle out well under the target.

We're almost there now. Two matches left after round 9. Lots of good chases today, with Willowbourne chasing down Aubury on Stevenson's bold opening batting. Mayara get it done on the last ball on a slow and dusty eastern pitch, and Treadway leading the way with Letchford punching the final over to the max as Mayara still needed 15 from 6. Burnet come close to Idyllwild - still a good chase, even if unsuccessful - and Mawrystwyth continue their incredible run with a 14-over chase, despite losing eight wickets in the process. It's an up and down scorecard with yPherner getting 36, yAraidd getting 94, and a lot of zero-to-five run innings from their teammates. The Bears first shut down the hapless Penstead team as Brakefield takes two, Silkquand takes two, and Galipeau takes two. Solomons hasn't really been able to show his worth all year, but now the Bears get a big chase in record time and Solomons' 64 at the heart of it.

Norille continue to be the enigma of the season, today scoring 231 while ending a championship candidate Mawrystwyth's winning streak. Firembee doesn't get hot often this season, but when he does, it's a 90+ innings. The Eastern Miners get a rare win, over the top three Willowbourne Zenith no less, and the round gets weirder and weirder. Upset day ended with Idyllwild getting a regular win over Mayara to restore the balance. They're the winners of the round with their rivals all folding. It was also a good day for bowlers, or rather, bowlers taking wickets: it didn't exactly slow down the run rates but at least they had something to cheer for...

And there we are. Eleven rounds, and everyone plays everyone else once in a frantic summer of T20 cricket. Temperatures soar in Idyllwild while the rest are quite nice. The Eastern Miners build a two-win streak which is far too little, far too late, beating a similarly bad Aubury team. Idyllwild go down without a fight in a potential final preview versus table-topping Willowbourne. The Greencaster Heralds shut down the Marauders to pick up some much needed NRR at the end, while the Mustangs go back to their winning ways. Norille get shown up on a day where nothing goes their way. And fielding issues prevent Penstead from taking down Linieux for under 135, but they make it happen anyway. Shoutout to Bustillo and yMharwn for getting a good innings in before the end of the season.

Playoffs
Round 1, Qualifiers
Willowbourne Zenith 151/2 (15.3 overs)
Burnet Rubies 150/2 (20 overs)
Four brilliant batsmen avoid going out in Willowbourne. Twaddle shows a side he hasn't shown this season, and finally gets his half-century. He still loses to Lafaille and the bunch though.

Idyllwild Antlers 159/5 (14.5 overs)
Mawrystwyth Mustangs 158/2 (20 overs)
A rapid chase by Morgan and Welsh, with the final push by Watling. The Krytenians have helped the Antlers all year and they continue to be good.

Round 1, Eliminators
Greencaster Bears 173/2 (20 overs)
Norille Chevron Vert 176/5 (17 overs)
The Bears' top 4 skilfully stay in until the end, but it's the riskier business by Norille that sees them advance. Chiplinn (Bears) gets his highest total of the season, but it's not enough.

Mayara Marauders 169/7 (20 overs)
Greencaster Heralds 190/7 (20 overs)
The Heralds just start winning now, yChirnall's 68 first and foremost. Mayara are out without much of a fight.

Round 2
Burnet Rubies 155/5 (20 overs)
Norille Chevron Vert 158/7 (19.3 overs)
An epic battle that comes down to the last over! ySalw and Douglas, fairly quiet in the first 11 rounds, take Norille by the hand and guide them to a win. Burnet has fought hard, but they're out now.

Mawrystwyth Mustangs 158/6 (17.2 overs)
Greencaster Heralds 154/8 (20 overs)
It got a little hairy, and Mawrystwyth almost had to go home with two playoff losses after a stunning 8-3 record. Imagine that. Well, DeBruut and Barklas do a lot for them today, though every batsman contributes a bit.

---

Semifinals
Willowbourne Zenith 178/5 (15.3 overs)
Norille Chevron Vert 174 (18.5 overs)
The upstart Norille squad ends here: they got so close! In the end, it was just too little for a class Willowbourne squad. Trevorrow and Southstrand get the Zenith to the final!

Idyllwild Antlers 172/7 (20 overs)
Mawrystwyth Mustangs 199/5 (20 overs)
Way too little by Idyllwild there. The Mustangs just do too much, with yAraidd playing a hell of a season.

---

Final
Willowbourne Zenith 188/6 (20 overs)
Mawrystwyth Mustangs 195/2 (20 overs)
There it is: probably the two best clubs of the regular season but without pesky Idyllwild. Mawrystwyth really started rolling late in the season, then stalled in the early playoff rounds before righting the ship just in time, and now they're Ko-orenite champions!

A narrow win for West Surbourneshire continues that region's bid for the title, as the only region to never have won the one day category. Last year, they were finalists, but lost to Greencaster giving them their third title in four years (and four titles in six), with the harbour city really owning One Day cricket as of late. West Surbourneshire has the squad to do it, but after they can't get their eastern counterparts out in under 50 overs, they have to mount a proper chase. Well done to a tenacious Goodall on his 104* on behalf of the East. The West pits Twaddle (42 (59)) against that to open, but it's Pardey who gets the show on the road with 87 runs, and all-rounder Wanering, rarely one to be in the spotlight, gets the final push to win: 12 (5).

Elsewhere, Mawryshire make short work of Willowbourne, yBymadoc and yEdenw the bowlers to take out the majority of the lineup, with help from wicketkeeper yGwrtheireninion: she snagged some inside edges out the air with reflexes that makes pro gamers jealous (rumour has it she does play some Competition of Champions in the offseason). The chase is over quick, with ySalw - the man we're all looking for in this format - getting a 120* in a marathon partnership with Callon after the signs of an early collapse are there with yGefftarion out for a duck and yDiffwen out for under 10.

The 'last' match of the opening round has Greencaster versus Leeshire: the current champions versus a team that tried to reinvent itself, and especially its bowling attack, which features Burnbrough, Galipeau, and Silkquand, all under 20 years old. The experience wins it, apparently, with Penn and Brownesworth scoring at least 80 each - neither getting a century - while Smith wraps up the chase in under 40 overs.

We're getting a better idea of who's who now. West Surbourneshire lose to Leeshire, putting both at one win and one loss, though Leeshire's run-limiting bowling deserves praise. Their chase, however, does not. Four ducks as Chapman drags the team kicking and screaming to a win, scoring as quickly as they lost wickets. No words for that, really. Greencaster are back on their winning ways like we remember them last year: nearly 400 with a double century for Simeon Penn! Mawryshire play at home but can't shake the visitors in their normally beneficial circumstances - there was wind, but it also hadn't rained for a little while, and it turns out that ySarthylhar and yLellmedd are out of ideas that quickly. Willowbourne also goes for a win, and East Surbourneshire run out of time and wickets on the chase. Merton - we might see more of him in the international game at some point - took five for Willowbourne to win.

More strange scores today with Willowbourne's collapse at the hands of West Surbourneshire. The visitors have two of the best one day bowlers we have, and today it was Stanway's impeccable spinning that took the wind out of them. Greencaster stalled out while East Surbourneshire didn't do much better, but at least their target remained intact. It really was a day of the bowlers with Greencaster's Enright and the Easts' Harvey taking five each. Mawryshire lose, unfortunately, after losing just one wicket: yGefftarion gets his revenge for round one with 159*, yDiffwen picked up 78 runs, and Callon added the remainder. Leeshire score just a bit quicker in the Leewardia, and it takes the entire team to get the result: Barklas gets the team's only half-century of the day while yLellmedd and yEdenw tear through the lineup.

Mawryshire records the second-highest first innings score of the year in their demolition of West Surbourneshire: the winners are 2-2 but should have been on three wins with a little extra effort, while the Wests aren't making good on their preseason promises. In a sunny Cirelbourne - just as the batsmen like it - Leeshire easily take down the target as the afternoon outfield dries up and the two innings feel days apart - if only Leeshire had kept a few wickets in hand, they cut it very close with Meighan batting in the final runs. The city derby - Willowbourne versus Greencaster - has Greencaster put together a great total - just the third over 300 - and Wraihts, in his debut season, takes four wickets off of the urban rivals.

A week in which we see some 'dormant' players get in the spotlights: West Surbourneshire knocks down Greencaster a peg and the reigning champions are in trouble now. Firembee and Taylor have the winning partnership. Willowbourne races to 292 while Leeshire's deadly trio picks them off on the way there, but can't do enough in the second half of the day to pose any danger. Mellors is the big guy for Leeshire to get four wickets with wicketkeeper Keeting catching two of them - and five in total. The Mawryshire get a 300+ score with East Surbourneshire trying but falling short somewhat. yTawriegir scores 50 in the first innings and catches out three in the second innings, and clean bowls Darknoll on the all-rounder's few overs bowling.

The battle of West versus East has the East winning for now, throwing a wrench in any semblance of a pattern we're seeing for any of our six teams. Greencaster and West Surbourneshire are a little stronger but can't reliably turn their advantage into a win, and none of the 'bottom 4' teams go down easily either. Call it parity, call it anything else: it's entertaining, to an extent, but we're dying to see a good chase and a close match for a change... and we're not exactly getting that in the West/East battle either. It fits the mold of a decent target met within 40-ish innings while the chasing team overplays their hand and cut it too close as wickets fly. We do, however, get exactly what we want in the Mawryshire-Willowbourne match! With a ball to spare, Meredith gets a four to win! A hugely entertaining match that remains interesting until the end. Easily the number one candidate for best match of the year, just forget that we're likely not looking at finalists here.

Leeshire and Greencaster have the right idea, but another 1-wicket win with ages to go. Enright does get a near-hattrick by taking out Leaby and White on back to back balls to kneecap Leeshire's potent openers, but Pelletier smartly deflects the third ball to avoid the hattrick. Plenty of good invididual moments, with an over going for 20 runs, courtesy of Barklas scoring four fours off it.

All innings stay in the 6-to-8 wickets realm of 'risky, but not too risky'. As a result, we see only a few great batting innings: Twaddle gets a good opening stand versus Leeshire (61), White gets the right idea for West Surbourneshire (59), Mawryshire rely on some last-over wizardry to go from 16 short to a win in 12 deliveries, with yGwrtheireninion getting three fours in the process. For the first time this season, we have two teams crossing 300 in Willowbourne (Plyloy/Meredith 150 partnership) versus East Surbourneshire (Goodall 83*). We should also give some bowling shoutouts: Foxwich takes three for Willowbourne in the youngster's first big day, Smith takes three in an over for Greencaster, and we get the first comical wicket of the year (hit wicket) by Wolslager on behalf of East Surbourneshire.

Not too long to go now: the table is a mess, but at least we're having a lot of fun every round. Who needs comprehensive wins and title contenders if you can have this? West Surbourneshire help their NRR with the 295 (Langhorne 70 runs), Greencaster put a dent in the East's aspirations with the 60-run gap (5 ducks there), and we get a damn high scoring game in Mawryshire - why always in Mawryshire, that's the home of low scoring thrillers - with ySalw finding the winning boundary with a few balls to spare. Great outing for Leeshire's Leaby, the opener's big easy match that he'd been looking for since round one, in scoring 94.

Two rounds to go: West Surbourneshire do get another win to put them on the cusp of a final spot. Leeshire get their sixth win and that guarantees a top half finish - but they need top two for the final. For them, it's the deep bowling attack combined with two or three good hitters that gives them the wins more often than not, and with all teams regularly dipping into the tail end for the last couple runs, having some decently batting bowlers helps everyone. Trying to identify a few building blocks for next season: most teams don't have the staying power among their top 4-5 batsmen, making every match a nailbiter. Only West Surbourneshire (with Twaddle, Firembee, Taylor, and Pardey) can claim to have a well-above average lineup there, while Mawryshire can rely on just ySalw. Greencaster's is also a little deeper than most, with Penn, Risewell, and Brownesworth. It's just that Greencaster's bowling is much, much deeper (Enright, White, Smith, Wraihts).

Leeshire and East Surbourneshire give us a fantastic showdown towards the end: nine balls and few wickets with Keating batting for the win. Greencaster get a monster score in the urban derby, Risewell gets his first century, Penn gets 75+, and Igglesden and Trevelskill contribute a decent chunk.

And that's it: Leeshire lose, but it doesn't matter because they're only helping Willowbourne from three to four wins. West Surbourneshire beat Greencaster in a direct battle for a top two spot: we formally don't have a semifinal, but that would have been it. Mawryshire lose a match that could have launched them into the top two to East Surbourneshire, who also go from three to four wins at the end of the competition. Greencaster's top five pop off, Mawryshire's top four get a good target too: but interestingly, both teams with low wicket losses lose their match.

Final

Leeshire 382/6 (50 overs)

The highest scores of the year - and a close finish to boot! The 10 rounds so far maybe didn't deserve a high octane final, but we got treated to one either way. Congrats to West Surbourneshire, and with that, all six teams have won the One Day title at least once! Twaddle was the star of the match, having played in many, many matches under pressure at home and away. With 49 (53) he defused every bomb lobbed towards him by Leeshire's young bowling attack, and Twaddle could always be relied on to partner up. Firembee, Taylor, Pardey... sure, they upped the strike rate a lot, but none of them built a lasting innings. The highest score for the region came from Magcay, all the way at 9th in the lineup, with 63 (46).

Let's go! The season is under way. First class cricket starts a little earlier than the other formats and it also closes out the season, so players have to deal with missing chunks in the middle where one day and T20 cricket is played. They're never 'off' for too long, because first class and one day cricket goes back and forth at the start and end of the season, but still. We get some mixed matches on round one, with high praised Greencaster hosting mid-table East Surbourneshire, ending in a draw after four high scoring days with Duskcliffe scoring 150 in the innings of 522. Greencaster knew what they were doing, leaving a full day of play to take 10 wickets... and they only took four, gifting East Surbourneshire the easy draw.

The matchup towards the bottom of the predictions was the W-derby in Ansonville. A massive collapse with Marsden taking three wickets in the 12th over of that mess, then late declaration by West Surbourneshire, followed by a pretty comprehensive innings where the northern city took some initiative back, and Trevorrow scoring exactly 100, before the southwest took the win with 30 quick overs despite losing 5 wickets there. As easy as wickets fell on the first session, the more difficult it got straight after. Willowbourne captain Rutherford Lincoln couldn't really find the words, avoiding press after the first session, and sparingly appearing near a journo on the remaining days.

Lastly, there's Mawryshire and Leeshire, with the former not great and the latter our only chance of stopping Greencaster from winning more domestic titles. As a reminder: the greens have won three of the last four one day titles as well as three of the four first class titles on offer between seasons 8 and 11, and they've remained in the running even if they didn't win it in the end. Since then, we've had three different champions, with Willowbourne winning its first title last season, West Surbourneshire winning its first title the year before that, and East Surbourneshire winning their first title the year before that - and going back further all we find is Greencaster dominance. Mawryshire only has titles in either regional format because of the early days of national competition, where they won one of each, then won another first class title, and then started hibernating with no end of winter in sight. Either way, Mawryshire decide the fate of the first two days by spending them on their first innings, with yBewlchawd and yMiflen both scoring centuries. Leeshire goes along, then strikes in Mawryshire's second innings, cutting it short enough that they still can spend the last day tackling the target of 330, turning it into a slightly longer one day innings. Treloar pops off for 50, Dherengun and White share 120, and Keating gets them over the line with a four. The rush job is done, and Leeshire wins.

East Surbourneshire get a massive win by keeping Mawryshire to two mediocre innings. The duo of Harvey and Fox don't always get to feast, but here they were responsible for 16 of the 20 wickets with just about any colour duck between them. It didn't even take that much for the visitors to get their innings under way: they even declared after a while. Mawr cricket is visibly upset with how the wet home conditions weren't turned into their advantage, if anything, it was their downfall. It's hard to say just how big of a win this is, even without caring about bigger/better teams. Stillingfleet had a nice day out with 80 runs, his career high, while Maitland and Scargate were the batting duo of the day at 163 together. It didn't have the impression of a massive total, especially after Langhorne was deceived by yLellmedd's perfect spin, around the bat and onto the wicket. Lyveworth survived for another over, then he was caught behind by yBewlchawd. The Mawr had the spin down early on, and that effect disappeared without a trace.

West Surbourneshire hand Greencaster a defeat, and it's a miracle we get a result with the winners batting for nearly two full days to begin, Barbary and Armfellow both getting centuries there. Greencaster tried to run it back with a high run rate but couldn't manage more than 200 runs still behind. Then Leeshire and Willowbourne cared more about first innings leads and bonus points (which are handed out in first innings only) and Quelch and Raafden's century each in a partnership. That was always going to be a draw.

We've got a decent idea of how good our six teams are now, and Greencaster hasn't appeared as unassailable as expected. The reigning champions are also not looking perfect, and the one team to excel so far is Leeshire, who add a win by an innings to their list of results. West Surbourneshire have been more than decent in the last weeks but here they couldn't top Leeshire's 530 (Treloar 67, Treadway 7, Dherengun 129, White 95, Douglas 162*, Barklas 36*) and Courtenay took a first-innings hattrick while Thrall took five in the second installment. Good fielding and very conscious bowling prevented higher totals. Meanwhile, Willowbourne do get a win in a textbook match: four innings, all between 200 and 300 runs, under a mostly clear sky except for a continuously interrupted day two. Greencaster invite Mawryshire for a draw in a match of who can set the highest total, but Mawryshire meet the challenge head on (instead of West Surbourneshire, who folded in Maynard) and answered Greencaster's 551 (Lyness 178, Crawford 13, Hazelflower 105, Mothdrow 187*, Duskcliffe 38, Letchford 22*), with 434 (yAraidd 89, yBymadoc 74).

The two contenders meet in Maynard, and it's a draw. Leeshire's deep batting lineup and Greencaster's all-round squad battle it out and it's the former who decide it, with the Leeshire gang at strike until the end of day 4. Willowbourne and West Surbourneshire take the points, with Willowbourne winning with three sessions to spare. Mawryshire collapse for 110 - not the first time we've seen that from them this season - but the East-West battle in Ansonville was very entertaining, and the East appealed nearly every ball in that last innings (and for good reason, usually) but the West took it anyway.

A cursed victory in Ansonville, with the West also establishing themselves as a team that could very well win it all. A 420 (no blazing allowed, yBewlchawd gets a century) was answered with a 557 (Welsh and Pardey partnership: 184) but Mawryshire then... collapse for 137 - it's now been 4 collapses for well under 200 in few overs - for the easiest win: Twaddle defends two, then sends the ball into the outfield for two runs. A win by 10 wickets, the first time that's happened - but there have been innings wins. The city derby ends in a draw, and Leeshire can't sneak in another win in Cirelbourne. The home team really goes for a record in runs per over, but Leeshire slows it down. Then the East is faced with a hell of a target - but it could be managable, at least - but days three and four see some overs lost to rain.

It's a week of innings. If anyone wanted a close result: this is not your week. Even the third result, a draw, was going to a huge run loss quick. Starting from the top: Mawryshire have two short innings that can't offset another Leeshire batting experience (Treloar 15, Treadway 48, Dherengun 178, White 84, Douglas 112, Barklas 10). The bonus points for this one go fast, not just for batting but also for the underrated bowling, with Courtenay taking five in either innings. Then on to Cirelbourne, where East Surbourneshire get a 336 that's not to be ashamed of, followed up by Greencaster's 499 (Crawford, Keating centuries), and the last 10 Eastern wickets are simple to take for Smith, Enright, and Tilcott, with Wheelwright on a mission, catching six (including edges, stumps and a run out). The closest match is in Willowbourne, with West Surbourneshire giving the win away. They bat first, get a great total and a good lead, but spend nearly 100 overs on their second innings, giving them barely a session to take 10 wickets. The fact that they took six in 20 overs is commendable, but surely better strategy (especially with the weather gradually declining and the predicted rain on day 4) would have given them a win.

More innings wins, but this time by an unlikely subject: Mawryshire haven't got much to celebrate this season, but now they win by an innings and 61: a far cry from some of the awful collapses we've seen so far.In fact, with 594 they get the highest total so far, and it's strange to see the group that embarasses themselves for 150 all out now gets to nearly 600 (yAraidd 178, yRheigewn 141), and despite it being in Bruncester, the home team can't change any of it. A slightly dusty track was steady and flat enough to the Mawr on day two and three, but too dusty on days one and four - but does that really tell the whole story? It wasn't just a matter of conditions - these guys have played in dust or on dry pitches their entire lives. Harvey and Fox, the big names on the East's bowling attack, couldn't get a grip and the rest of the team was unable to step up. Not just 'they didn't step up', we've seen before that if those two don't perform, the whole team grinds to a halt. Maitland did take three wickets from the unlikely all-rounder position, but it was too few and far between. yRwceinaig proved the week of the all-rounder to be a thing by taking four wickets in the East's shortlived second (third overall) innings.

Then Greencaster won while Leeshire drew, making the title race a little closer again, and don't underestimate West Surbourneshire as an outsider. That makes the harbour city's win that much better, in a week where both teams had one masterclass (509/4d, 551) and one disasterclass (94, 137*). It was a match where day one allowed Greencaster rarely seen run rates (Lyness 162, Letchford 94), then a session of prodding along for 94 (Tilcott hattrick, Enright 5 wkts), the follow on after just 28 overs and a bit, and a very different team came out then.The remainder of day two wasn't special, but day three was something else, with two nightwatchmen deployed after day two following the easy outs of the openers (Barbary 120, Welsh 106, Connell 114). There was still too much time and a chasable target, so Greencaster get the 5-wicket win.

Another week of innings wins - the more the season goes on, the more pronounced the wins get - and it's Greencaster and Leeshire who record them, with the latter beating West Surbourneshire to ensure the westerners won't sneak into the top two at all. That seems to be it for their title aspirations: losing to the top two in back-to-back matches will do that. Greencaster do what we've seen them do before with a 500+ innings, and more special attention for Mawryshire going all out for 86, their worst collapse so far. It's hard to analyse another one of these: the Mawr badly need help on the batting side to prevent more of these in the future. Not finding the cure mid-season is one thing, but if they look like this next year, it'll be hard to keep defending their status as Mawrystwyth and Llandy being fortresses with unique circumstances that the Mawr can utilise for five matches per year. Clearly, either other teams have mastered the weird southwestern quirks, or the Mawr are really that bad.

Even worse is Leeshire's win over the Westerners - the latter are really out of it now. The follow on yielded a very similar innings: 142 vs 183. And Leeshire didn't even push that hard: 417 isn't a huge total. The third match even saw a bigger one, with Willowbourne scoring 454 (Quelch 115, Raafden 93) and the bat-friendly Cirelbourne pitch gave too much for this to turn into a result.

And that's the decider: Leeshire defeat Greencaster on enemy turf, and that makes the title mathematically theirs. A very textbook match (but with the weird results as of late you'd almost think that innings wins are textbook) with four short innings, done somewhere halfway day three, and the bowlers are the deciding factor in Greencaster. Or rather, the fielding. The teams know each other so well that they have the fielding assignments down perfectly. For Leeshire you can't sacrifice run suppression for wicket-taking, because the wickets sometimes just don't fall. Instead, a few slips and a lot of infield presence keep Leeshire below 300 while Greencaster was parried with some silly fielding and some tricks. When Greencaster's second innings ended, everyone knew it was all over: a batting order that good and so much time left. Leeshire was never going to mess that up. For third place, West Surbourneshire drew the East and Willowbourne drew Mawryshire - neither of them manage anything. Mawryshire's extremely silly declaration (the first team this season to declare both their innings!) left them 15 overs to take 10 wickets, and we're not sure exactly why they did it. If it was just to give yRwceinaig the opportunity to get 50 - sure, but he didn't even get that in the end. Three very long innings in Cirelbourne - that's the batsmen's paradise we know and love - didn't do enough to separate the teams.

Leeshire get another win, making it six out of ten, and with the bonus points they amassed, they're champions by a mile. Greencaster seize second place by drawing Willowbourne and making sure they can't move up on them with an innings win (which Willowbourne needed to finish second/third). Then West Surbourneshire wins to decide the 3rd place battle. Two teams are in last by a distance: East Surbourneshire and Mawryshire, today's losers.

Maethoru SC
Stadium: Rikalathen Arena (44000) in Maethoru, KCT
Background: The club to beat ever since its inception right into the modern era. Record champions. The only club (so far) to go deep into UICA/IFCF tournaments. Name a record, and it's likely Maethoru's. The success is built on an amazingly competent front office, buying and selling the exact right players for the job - even if they're not big names. The club's never been far away from meritocratic politics, as a club located in the heart of government.
Support: Gloryhunters, bandwagoners, fans of efficiency.
Nickname: Capital Club, All Greens, The Champions
Rivals: Aminey CS, Gehrenna FC
Titles: 5
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★★
Last season: Maethoru were tipped to win both last season and the season before, but ultimately let Aminey and Straudum get to their first titles. The All Greens finished second in both seasons, and with the league getting two Champions League spots, the club wasn't launched into a crisis. Still, fans and staff would really like to get back to their title winning ways. So Maethoru has been close, but not close enough. The squad last year (and this year) has the biggest talents that still play within the Top League, but have a little extra competition from Aminey, Straudum, and Schemerdrecht, who have also managed to cobble together near equal squads.
This season: Bagaurunir switched from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield. At the same time, they've taken Lyons as the extra man in defence, coming over from Flavovespia after the CAFA, and they attracted Aoriene to play behind the strikers. The main finisher changed from Eleveld to Monshouwer, so the theme of northern poachers continues. Lyons was an especially good buy given that the club's main (or only) problems lie at the back. The solution always was to retain possession all the time, but they've gone back to the more traditional solution of bolstering your defence. Van Kalvenhaar remains with the club despite plenty of bids. The midfield remains the strength, with Entatingun and Janoreirinthen there, and the former is probably the mainstay playmaker for a decade and some extra.[/b]
Prediction: 1st, but the gap to the next 3 contenders is closing. It's nearly three years since the last Capital Club title, it's high time.

Straudum VV
Stadium: Hazel Arena (25400) in Straudum, Sudaefjoll
Background: Straudum, despite the humble size of its stadium and fanbase, is one of the eight historical clubs of the country, and yet is the most overlooked team out there. Straudum is the moneyball club, playing incredibly defensive football, finding ignored talents all over Ko-oren, and plugging them into their squad on the cheap. As it's also up in the north, beyond Schemerdrecht (their biggest rivals), it's dark and cold and miserable. Could he do it on a rainy Kuhrathu in Straudum applies.
Support: Fans of defensive football. If you agree with the Dragonflies' outlook on how the game should be played, Straudum's your club.
Nickname: Gatekeepers
Rivals: Schemerdrecht SVV, SC Sokrona, Sterrenwolde FC
Titles: 1
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★★
Last season: A perfect season for Straudum saw them win their first title! On a smaller budget than the other two/three, even. It was now or never, with the same old squad, and they decided it was now. Stifling defence as always, but with just enough goals to win most games. The strong collective, a core that has played together for nearly a decade, it all came together.
This season: We're expecting more of the same, but we don't think they'll be able to recapture the lightning in the bottle that they had last season. With nearly the same squad, and the only improvement/change being Savannah Quinn from Krytenia - also from CAFA - replacing Brousseau. The same caveat as last year applies: the aging squad will one day have to change over half the defence, and that day will be extremely expensive for them. The big names are once again Hoevink - a quick rise to power after a fairly anonymous start to his career - with Sawyer, the young assister. Straudum always relied heavily on the defenders, nowadays it looks like the midfield is where the defence starts, in keeping the ball away and making sure that the defence doesn't have to do that much to begin with.
Prediction: 2nd, like last season, but they've lost ground to the next two.

Schemerdrecht SVV
Stadium: Orange Bowl (54000) in Schemerdrecht, Intermare
Background: The north's most famous club has put the city and the region on the map. Somewhat defensive, Schemerdrecht has a history of suppling the national team with good defenders, holding midfielders, and captains. Their rivalry is with nearby clubs instead of with the regular Aminey or Maethoru. The club is often up there in the championship debate and easily keeps pace with the other contenders.
Support: Supporters of sensible football. If you want a club with no surprises, hijinks, or problematic personalities, Schemerdrecht is it.
Nickname: Northerners
Rivals: Straudum VV, Sterrenwolde FC, Donderen
Titles: 2
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: After a few dire years, Schemerdrecht recorded a third place, indicating that their soft rebuild is going places.
This season: They're keeping on the track of replacing one or two pieces per season, with now Featherborn of the Ochre Islands as a starting defender instead of Apple Crumble - who would have thought that? Ulysse retired and we find Josh Evans from Tumbra in his spot. Schemerdrecht are not afraid to look abroad for improvements. The same players up front, with the young duo Deckere/Sadelaer still supplying goals. All in all, Schemerdrecht have a very young team with a handful of veterans, so the sustainability factor is here more than for most clubs. They'll be able to push for a CL spot in the future as well. Gillinghurst and Deckere are the biggest names, but they're also just 18 and 17...
Prediction: 3rd, could they be the third club to keep Maethoru from another title? Or do we have a legitimate 4-team race for 3 CL spots now?

Aminey CS
Stadium: Stade sur la Baie (70000) in Aminey, Aminey
Background: While they're not the oldest francophone club (that's Tanques), Aminey was founded as the club of the City of Entertainment, the largest city of its region. The club has always had high-profile fans, lots of money... and lots of expectations. Even third stringers are picked apart by local media - and those stories then turn national fast. Big name transfers are a necessity. Who keeps interrupting important celebrity gossip with these dumb weekly matches?
Support: Those who like big names, glamour, and (good) players that are more like movie stars at times.
Nickname: FC Entertainment, Sky Blues
Rivals: Maethoru SC, Couziers-Olympiques
Titles: 1
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: It was all about title prolongation but it didn't matter. This time it wasn't Maethoru that did them in, the both of them got surprised by Straudum. Aminey's good will and preparation notwithstanding, it's clear that Ko-oren isn't a one-trick pony or a two horse race anymore. Aminey needed to step up, but finished in fifth behind even Alara.
This season: The ideal transfers fell through, so falling behind the preparation of Maethoru, Straudum, Schemerdrecht, and the two Eastern brothers, it was time for some panic buying. They might have knocked it out of the park on those, however: an upgrade at goalkeeper from Bittencourt to Quebecois Kang (the one foreign acquisition), a move from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3 with two striker changes: the addition of 20-year old Michaux and the 22-year old Neri. All local talent: Aminey has taken the best from the local academies. A risky move, and it might mean another down year, but a top six finish should be doable. They're not the only club with some risky talents in the starting XI - look at Schemerdrecht - so to see where both end up will be interesting. At the very least, the future of our NT has some three to four new potential players in it. The best players should remain Abbagan and Archer, who easily find each other for assists and goals.
Prediction: 4th, with the same caveat as Schemerdrecht. If the risky roster moves (though Aminey's are a bit older already) don't pan out, they could be without IFCF for a year. To keep the needy fans (needier than the above three clubs, even!) happy, they have to snatch one of the CL spots (of which we have three now!!).

Miradela GD
Stadium: Estádio Fortaleza (29000) in Santa Teresa, Finisterre
Background: Santa Teresa was the first soccer capital of Ko-oren - regardless of whether trophies just flowed to Maethoru anyway. Miradela is the upper class club of the city, representing the business owners and most of the middle class as well. They long looked up to Branvon's trophy cabinet (until winning a few titles when Maethoru wasn't looking) but have always looked down on Branvon's fans and followers. Money's rarely a problem for them, though they value a manager with a plan over just buying every player they want.
Support: Fans of results, the upper class, nobility, looking down on peasants.

Last season: Eighth place and another dent in the confidence of a squad that can't seem to get it right lately. Is it the players? The scouting? The coaching? They've turned over nearly everything and they can't find it. Finisterran football used to be good, with three clubs in the Top League (them, Branvon, and Castelo e Calvente) but one of them relegated and the other two can't break into the top six anymore. The mood in the Miradela camp turned sour early and mentally the team was gone early on, and they couldn't break the cycle.
This season: The proud club now looks back at its two championships, realising they happened nearly a decade ago already. The increasingly Anaian team, now with dream signing Number from Mertagne, has all the tools it needs to get into the IFCF again - but whether it happens, depends on the mental resilience. They adopted Bittencourt from Aminey, they signed Kaddaske and Number, and with Forward and Bonstirthinden... if they can't turn it around now, will it ever happen?
Prediction: 5th. And that's doable. If they don't make the top six, there'll be some tough questions to be answered in the southeast. They might not rival the top four for title contention, but there's so much potential here!

WSR AFC
Stadium: Uriagali Field (13000) in Eaglebury, West Strand Riding
Background: Rising from the fourth division to the Top League, just as the latter opened up to promotion/relegation, WSR's story is one of a lot of luck and some planning coming together. WSR is from the west coast of Ko-oren, which is remote and empty. The fans are just happy to be here, knowing things can't always be good.
Support: If your perfect holiday destination is a faraway, rainy, narrow strip of somewhat liveable land, and you like taking life day by day as it comes, WSR's for you.
Nickname: Westerners
Rivals: Pride of Eaglebury
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★
Resources: Stadium: ★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★
Last season: The up and down club stared relegation in the face but avoided the worst. A tenth place finish was a tough reality to accept, but everyone agrees that the club are really building something nice here - remember, they're the best club that weren't in the original 12 Top League clubs by far. Still with a young team, they ran into some tough losses. With a little extra, they can turn several of the 16 (!!) losses into draws or wins.
This season: Believe it or not, but the two Eastern clubs' stocks are falling, and WSR are the big one to jump into the vacuum. Could they make it back into the top six? It'll be difficult, but they might have what it takes. With Clark and Jack as new teammates - more victims of the post-CAFA shopping spree the Top League enjoyed - there's a decent influx of talent. Add Thurzerthinden on goal, Pae, Radcliff, and Boberg, and the starting XI has changed in six spots. That's way more than any other Top League club, and they're all upgrades. yLleamaid, Thompkins, and Jack are seen as the ones to watch. It's just so difficult to spot anything negative.
Prediction: 6th, they still have a gap to close to the top four. They should stave off Katashi, Alara, Miradela, and Tanques, the five clubs that make up the mid-table madness.

Katashi-Kanatsu
Stadium: Suzumebachi Stadium (32700) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: They were one of two clubs that predated the Yoshiman championship, and therefore entered into the national, Ko-orenite league. There they established themselves as a somewhat attacking, but always well-led squad with a Yoshiman-only policy right up until modern times. While their trophy cabinet is a bit empty, they've always been up there with plenty of UICA/IFCF berths. They represent the east and its slightly combative stance towards the Gehrennan, meritocratic, government.
Support: Rebels: both tactically (heavily geared towards attack) and politically. That said, Katashi is part of the 'establishment' as one of the original eight clubs as well.
Nickname: Rebels
Rivals: Advance Alara, Katashi Azula, Yonenomura, Odahayashi Revolution
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★
Last season: A sixth place and with that, no IFCF football, it was a down year for Katashi but nothing to get worried about. Being in that top six group is vital, and once you get there, you only play good teams and one team has to finish sixth. They'd rather have it be Alara (4th), though.
This season: A lot of the team has stayed intact, and they're trying to finish top six once again. There's always an upstart small team, so gambling on you sneaking in at #6 is quite risky. We're not seeing a lot of moves to improve, like we've seen with some teams above here, and we've seen some discord among the fans who see WSR's moves and think 'why can't we do that?'. That said, they have added Aleirave's Tesuna'e, promoted Oogami to a starting job, and put Sawada in as the finisher over Taniuchi. One thing deserves credit: no squad has depth like Katashi.
Prediction: 7th, which is slightly worrying as they want to be among that Aminey-Schemerdrecht group of regional superpowers and national contenders.

Advance Alara
Stadium: Spider Stadium (27100) in Alara, Alara
Background: As one of two clubs that never played in the Yoshiman championship but went into the Ko-orenite league, Alara has always been the underdog, the outsider. They've had to fight for recognition, for their place in the league, but have persevered all this time. Alara is the stereotypical all-out attack club, with many famous strikers and assisters representing its colours.
Support: Fans of underdogs, fans of different approaches, and long club histories full of likeable and less likeable people. They're cup fighters, too.
Nickname: Team Chaos
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Teragaseki, Echizen
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: Parties in the streets of Alara, they once again did it! They are the dragonslayers, taking IFCF spots from other deserving teams, when nobody really cares for their chances. Instead of a mid-table finish, they overtook reigning champs Aminey and moved into fourth place!
This season: Plenty of changes: they've been doing work. They really want to overtake their bigger neighbours in Katashi, and they've proved that with their vision and coaching, they can upset anybody. You do know what they say: whatever Alara does, it's interesting, but it's not always winning. They go from 4th place to 10th place - remember when they barely avoided relegation a year prior? - so as long as the signings can tackle that, they're golden. The defence is 75% new, with Holmes switching flanks to allow for the new Mashimo (35 years old, not a long term choice), Magnussen, and Chumacero (from Huayramarca). So yeah, the flanks are old, the rest is good to go. Apart from a switch from Duchemin to Candy, for age reasons, the midfield and attack are the same. So we do get a very new look Alara, and chances are we get two or three more new names next year.
Prediction: 8th, after a good year, we usually get the worse side of Alara shining through.

Tanques AOE
Stadium: Stade Amandine (30000) in Étouille, Cote Austral
Background: As one of the historical eight clubs, this club has one ancient championship trophy, as well as one modern one. It's a shame they fell down, right after winning their modern title, even. This club upholds the pride of all of southern Côte Austral, and it's hard to imagine light blue as belonging to any club other than Tanques. The Francophones have always focused on a possession-based playing style, fluid in defence and attack, with many creative playmakers in their ranks over the years.
Support: Lovers of beautiful football, fans with a longing for the past, francophones, or if you like to spend your time in a town that's nice and warm year round.
Nickname: Beautiful Blue
Rivals: Amandine AdF
Titles: 1
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★★
Last season: Still finding their ways in the Top League, they had a decently easy time fitting in again. Mixing and matching players, they got to a nice starting XI in the end. At 9th, they were safe enough.
This season: Most of their intended signings fell through, so they'll have to make do with the same improvised roster, with two Anaian additions in Chiesa and Toussaint, which prop up the team to a very respectable level. It's easier to talk about the remaining weaknesses than the added strengths: ySaellhon and Train aren't developing to a Top League level - remember when Train was the intended follow-up from Yokota in the national team at defensive midfield... and then the entire position got scrapped as Train didn't perform? He did have a very unfortunate career... - and arguably Lyford, who's been with them for a while, also shouldn't be in. Assuming they survive, those are three easily pluggable holes.
Prediction: 9th. Not too great, but definitely good enough. Hard to see them push for a top six spot, though.

Gehrenna FC
Stadium: Kautherlugin Field (17500) in Gehrenna, KCT
Background: A club of the government, second fiddle behind perennial champions Maethoru, the Gehrennans have found the perfect balance between official business and authentic localness. The bureaucrats don't care too much for football, so anyone left who did care about the club were treated like royalty, and they still are. This club cares about its fans, no matter the flak they get from the bureaucrats in their city, or from the fans of every other club who immediately associate the city of Gehrenna with 'posh'. Because this club isn't posh, even if it plays in quite a posh city.
Support: Anyone who likes the Ko-orenite (social) meritocracy, and wishes to support a team that's at the heart of it. ('mate, you can't support a system of government')
Nickname: The Other Capital Club
Rivals: Maethoru SC
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★
Resources: Stadium: ★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★
Last season: An incredible seventh place to prove they deserve to be at the highest level, and to give Maethoru something to do in the local rivarly department. Safe to say, they surprised friend and foe.
This season: They were rumoured to finish dead last and go down immediately, but they didn't. They rose to the occasion, and they'll have to do something similar again, if they want to stay up. Another year of Theshendan's services, who'll be hard to replace but he'll retire at some point. Poullain is in over Zesusdhaundhen, Lesidhaunden over Lintodheringun, Morris over Zeltuthaunden - keyboards will have it easier to say the least. The biggest change is up front, with Eastfield Lodge's Last in the attacking midfield position, leaving Pisjanauden as the sole striker, moving to a Tanques-esque 4-5-1. While Theshendan is the biggest name, Abyssite is the biggest talent, and the midfield is probably the strength of the team with attack slightly behind.
Prediction: 10th, a tough task ahead as they'll have to match last year's effort and some extra. Everyone got better, and they will need to not just avoid last place, but also second-last to avoid the new relegation playoff.

Branvon CD
Stadium: Estádio Marítimo (28000) in Santa Teresa, Finisterre
Background: Santa Teresa was the first soccer capital of Ko-oren - regardless of whether trophies just flowed to Maethoru anyway. Branvon is the working class club of Santa Teresa, representing the harbour and the coast guard, without any of the military pretenses. The biggest rival is Miradela, from the same city, and fans will take two wins over them rather than a title.
Support: Anyone who likes a club of the people. Hard working, honest football.
Nickname: Bastards, Stowaways
Rivals: Miradela GD, Castelo e Calvente CS
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: Straddling the relegation zone for years now, the curtain still didn't fall for Branvon. Definitely a few steps behind Miradela now, who have found the way up, it's - once again - now or never for Branvon. They finished 11th.
This season: One of the oldest - if not the oldest - and proudest clubs in Ko-orenite football, Branvon is on the cusp of relegation for the first time in their existence. Did you know that Branvon and Maethoru are the clubs with the most games at the highest level? And that might just end for them. It's again difficult to be positive about the club, and maybe they need to see the lowest lows before gaining the highest highs again, much like Tanques did, and they're healthily back in the Top League now. They put in the off-season work, with Wakaizumi in at leftback, Courvoisier in at defensive midfield, Serra from Audioslavia in at attacking midfield, triggering a shift after Taraala left. For the rest, it's the same team, and that's a huge concern.
Prediction: 11th, too few improvements, so they might only have gotten further behind. Ugly.

Sterrenwolde FC
Stadium: Noorderkroonpark (14500) in Sterrenwolde, Intermare
Background: An ancient club, well, when they were known as the Sterrenwolde Sportvereniging, which housed anything from (field) hockey to gridiron to football. Since then, each club that sprouted from it keeps on using the green and blue as its colours, with zero regard for how those colours became national colours a bit further down the line. They will do anything to beat nearby Schemerdrecht, as they totally do not have an inferiority complex related to anything coming from that city, and they keep insisting that Sterrenwolde's harbour is bigger/better than Schemerdrecht's, and how Sterrenwolde's surrounding landscape is nicer, and eventually you wonder why a city would bring up another city quite so often. The city has a long history in Ko-oren's unification, all jokes aside.
Support: History buffs, and fans of slightly defensive football ('slightly' on the Ko-orenite scale, which makes it quite defensive alright).
Nickname: Harbourmasters, Nationals
Rivals: Schemerdrecht SVV, Kerkhaven-Rommefort-Combinatie, Tuinderbeek FC, Straudum VV
Titles:
Staff: Staff Competence: ★ / Scouting Department: ★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★
Resources: Stadium: ★ / Financial Situation: ★★ / Training Facilities: ★★
Last season: Champions of the second tier! They are the next club in a long line of smaller-brother-clubs-from-the-same-area-as-a-Top-League-team clubs to earn a spot in the top 12 (Couziers vs Tanques/Aminey, Castelo e Calvente vs Branvon/Miradela). A great adventure awaits!
This season: The promotor notoriously has a difficult job, and this is nothing different. The huge offseason shuffle to find any and all upgrades saw them take Gloren as centreback - beating much more established clubs to her signature - and Irvin from Gortolekua, Phiffers as somewhat of a playmaker, and names like Bonschotten and Brandwacht, who bounce around the top two divisions. Good luck!
Prediction: 12th, as promotors are usually graded 12th.

Bruncester United AFC
Stadium: Top Brass Arena (23800) in Bruncester, Surbourneshire
Background: The club has all the makings of a historical, long time contributor to the Ko-orenite soccer scene. And while Bruncester is old, it's not historically old, but the club has made a name for itself nonetheless. Back when the southeast was thriving, the club was founded, and was an immediate success though they couldn't get over the hump. Their rivalry with Cirelbourne was the strongest in the country, before the southeast crumbled economically and both clubs lost their relevance a little bit. Nowadays, Bruncester is a defensive club, trying to get the best players from all over Surbourneshire, hoping to establish itself as the anglophone club.
Support: Nostalgians. Fans of that old-timey feeling. Traveling to away games by train. No-nonsense play.
Nickname: Miners
Rivals: Cirelbourne United, Opalshire FC
Titles:
Last season: 7th
Next season: 3rd. With Umkala (TJUN-ia) in defence and Tantalopoulos (Vdara) in attack, Bruncester has put in the necessary improvements to get close to the Top League again. They do have their local rivals Cirelbourne in here now, though. Monurga and Noordburg are a good defensive combo, but with Umkala, they're fairly old - it almost feels like now or never for them. Durling is the best player on the team and probably the only long-term player for them. They're in an awful place age-wise.

Arboren FC
Stadium: Aeresa (12500) in Arboren, Azuren
Background: Up in the freezing north, when you say football, they immediately think gridiron rather than soccer. And yet, Arboren has made quite a name for itself in that area. Outside of it, it's still often met with blank stares. Even in that area, it's sometimes met with blank stares.
Support: If the cold never bothered you anyway, where the snow glows white and the wind is howling, and the storm rages on.
Nickname: The Blizzard
Rivals:
Titles:
Last season: 12th (Top League)
Next season: 1st. With a roster mostly intact from their year in the Top, they make the Second Division a lot better. Between Siemeling, Aerelia, and Aandal, that's probably the best three players in the division - only they're old. Aenisse and Krijt are decent starting points for a new generation Arboren, but whether that'll be in the Top League? Probably not.

C COACH Laurence Brisley (43, KOR)

Cirelbourne United
Stadium: Quicksilver Stadium (15500) in Cirelbourne, Surbourneshire
Background: A team as old as time, from the gritty southeastern mining region. The mines have closed, businesses have left, but the people and their sports are still there. Cue a lot of heartbreak when Cirelbourne got relegated after decades in the Top League - these guys just can't catch a break. This club is bigger than anything else in town, with the rivalry with Bruncester in close second. Both rugby codes have simply given up on the area, for example.
Support: If you want to see a team work for every single result, every single goal, every single metre on the field, Cirelbourne is your team. There are plenty of hometown heroes and loyal fans. Or you're a masochist.
Nickname: Miners
Rivals: Bruncester United AFC, Cirelbourne Townside
Titles:
Last season: 9th
Next season: 7th. This team shouldn't finish that low, but that's more to do with historical clout and legacy.They're in a much better place age-wise, and with Datchery they have a player to build around - we're probably seeing a wing-attacking Cirelbourne for a few years to come, but they've already done the 'purge' that Arboren and Bruncester - both one Top League teams - still have to do. Cirelbourne has started its way back up. Hunt should also be a tremendous player.

C COACH Joe Bywaters (43, KOR)

Grainshire United
Stadium: Ring of Tregaron (6700) in Tregaron, Domains
Background: The result of a merger of several clubs in the area - and then they forgot to perform for a while. The southwest has many large clubs, and Grainshire just happened to be one of them, until they got their stuff together. Universally hated by fans of other clubs.
Support: No-nonsense football, lots of small-time sponsors, and cheap (not necessarily good) stadium bites.
Nickname: Farmers
Rivals: Brighthaven Town, Oceanside South End, Cerryrhos yDhiwmydis
Titles:
Last season: 3rd
Next season: 12th. It's harsh, but the nine-spot slide might come through barely any investment in the squad and some random plugging and playing of other players. Suchet and Quelch are the upsides, but Tull, Gillis, Walla, and Mathias probably wouldn't play for other teams, at all. That said, the differences in the second tier are tiny, so they might finish sixth as well.

Castelo e Calvente CS
Stadium: Edogense (16000) in Ferrovente, Finisterre
Background: Spent decades as a feeder club to both Miradela and Branvon, many great players that would later be legends at those clubs first passed through C&C. Ferrovente is not a small city either, and some players never went through to the Santa Teresan greats, and stayed beyind to make C&C better instead. This culminated in their promotion to the Top League where they are now level with both teams that once looked down on them.
Support: Fans of underdog stories, comeback stories, or revenge stories.
Nickname: (Finisterran) Challengers
Rivals: Miradela GD, Branvon CD, Club Valeloma
Titles:
Last season: 4th
Next season: 6th. Solidly midtable for a decently run team with a surprising amount of local heroes - Navia, Parada, Vina, Amorin, Souto, Curbelo. The best players are easily Sims and Parada, as well as Moora and Torres, who all fell to them in their glory year when they were in the Top League. Their lack of planning for other positions sees them in sixth, as they could well have been a contender: but Curbelo and Souto aren't going to make the difference when they're a goal down and they need a point.

Huthwich Et Iduloren FC
Stadium: The Ovation Station (9000) in Huthwich, Gehrenna
Background: A decently old club from a town in Surbourneshire that isn't Greencaster - yes, they exist - as one of the many towns along Ko-oren's southern bight. A railway town (but what town isn't). The club itself found that it attracted the most press when they announced they'd be playing in every colour of the rainbow (giving rise to the phrase 'fan of Huthwich' akin to the phrase 'friend of Dorothy'). For a long time, they were the club Greencastrians supported in absence of a decent alternative - and you'll still find some H&I merch there. Despite it all, the club plays in one of Ko-oren's smallest stadiums (seating 5000, presently) with one of the best names (the 'Ovation Station').
Support: Fans who want colourful jerseys, colourful personalities, and colourful ideas.
Nickname: Rainbow Club, Willowbourne's Second Choice
Rivals: Cresthill FC, Vierciennes Victory, Sobdorlugin Komtherod
Titles:
Last season: 6th
Next season: 2nd. The rainbow team has been building well for years, and the holes that plague other rosters are almost entirely gone. Oldfield, Multatagi, yPofrewdd, Laskibar, and Humphries: a random assortment of players but it's just working so well. Laskibar fell to them in a lucky buy, while the rest were simply well scouted. Oldfield and yPofrewdd were unlikely to sign, but they did anyway, and they might take the most colourful club of them all into uncharted heights.

C COACH Scott Whitewoods (43, BRE)

Sydberg Olympia
Stadium: Golhampton Grounds (23000) in Greencaster, Sydberg, Thornwich, and Guildwood
Background: A decently old team in northern Greencaster - that's Ko-oren's largest city and otherwise goes without representation in football - bringing together all walks of life. From briny fishermen to the hard workers of the harbour, the new money that came to the city as it became the country's financial centre, the stadium is packed with every single tax bracket that the Ministry of Finance can imagine. The only thing missing, so far, are results.
Support: City folk, fast paced people that want to be at the centre of it all, who never have time and rarely have money.
Nickname: Greencastrians
Rivals: Langward, Cresthill FC, Marinwood Sunday
Titles:
Last season: 8th
Next season: 11th. Somehow, their teambuilding isn't sitting well with the judges, and partially for good reason. The defence is good: Cholmondeley has NT appearances, for instance, and Mattson, Inchcombe, and Lalaseringun are genuinely good players, but Aldworth, Pernet, Schramstad, and Nakada are not it - Nakada could work out, but not with this supply. They've enjoyed a small renaming, adding Olympia to highlight their connection with the previous Greencaster Olympia name. It would be a shame if they got relegated, to be honest.

Couziers-Olympiques
Stadium: Stade Central (15800) in Linieux, Cote Austral
Background: Couziers is one of three clubs surrounding Willowbourne that have historically vied for that city's soccer fans - in addition to catering to their local fans in Linieux. Originally, the club had teams in multiple different sports - hence 'Olympiques' - and is still paired to the Linieux Harriers to an extent.
Support: If you want a 'family' club, that's inextricably linked with its fans and players despite being in such a modern, well-connected city.
Nickname: Lighthouses, Fishermen
Rivals: Aminey CS, Linieux en Onyx, Bellmare Union
Titles:
Last season: 10th
Next season: 5th. They're also turning it around: Couziers might not look like they had the staying power to join the big boys, but they've been a top 15/20 team for a long time now. Trintignant is a mainstay, and it feels like he's been 24 for 5 years now, but he's still good. The entire middle of the roster is great, the finishing could use some work, but Tammerveld is a well above average finishers for this tier - the Ko-orenite striker shortage strikes again. Plundell, Kildare, and Kanata aren't looking too sure but what can you do.

Teragaseki
Stadium: Dokudo Stadium (12000) in Teragaseki, Etena
Background: They long spent their time as the third club of Yoshima, behind Alara and Katashi, as they kept winning the specially created Yoshiman second division (back when that existed), with no way to find a new challenge. Then promotion and relegation rolled around, the Yoshiman system was integrated into the national one, and the club immediately looked beyond their region's borders. This eastern sporting town is addicted to anything competitive: football, baseball, rugby league, athletics, swimming, cycling on the only (ring) road around the island, navigating around steep cliffs and mountains.
Support: Fans of every sport, anything competitive, and the colour orange. Yes, that's a colour you're never going to see anywhere else in Ko-oren, except maybe an ill-advised hipster away jersey.
Nickname: Men in Orange
Rivals: Advance Alara, Fukushira Guerilla
Titles:
Last season: 5th
Next season: 8th. In a clump of good-but-not-great side, they can surprise a few but the field is too muddled for a surprise, I'd say. That said, with Xiaodan and Vigouroux, the defence is in order, and with Vujimura and Vada, there's more to be happy about. It's really not a bad team, with Goodenough on board in goal now.

Cirelbourne Townside
Stadium: Plains of Palmyra (10400) in Cirelbourne, Surbourneshire
Background: The smaller, richer, brothers of the local United. Set up by the administrators, the bookkeepers, etcetera, Townside was the rich and posh club, with plenty of ties to the world beyond the local mines.
Support: You like a blue-collar environment, but not a blue-collar club.
Nickname: Bourgeoisie
Rivals: Cirelbourne United
Titles:
Last season: 1st (3rd South)
Next season: 9th. As per usual, the teams that promote have some momentum behind them to keep them up at least in year 1. For the Townside, that's a secretly good starting XI with no holes but none of the 'better' class of Top League-ready players. With Connor, yFfeofcon, Euberg and Price, there's something to build on. At least the team's young.

SC Sokrona
Stadium: Van Kwarteldoornstadion (7000) in Sokrona, Sudaefjoll
Background: Battle hardened in the cold of the northeast and further steeled by the relative individualism of the area, Sokrona have fought for their place in the pyramid. The club of the mountains, and a relative hell for away teams (and their fans). If there's such a thing as Vikings in Ko-oren, they'd live here.
Support: The cold never bothered you anyway.
Nickname: Vikings
Rivals: MEZWO-VEDC Lamau, Straudum VV
Titles:
Last season: 2nd
Next season: 4th. The purple team up north has its priorities straight and in relative peace and quiet, they're building a competitive squad. Alelin, Aberg, Dwan, Carbonneau - they're close to a Top League team if only they could fix the worst holes, and depth is also an issue.

Stadium: Armskirk Municipal Ground (26000) in Maynard, Leeshire
Background: This might just be the most colourful club of Ko-oren. Not the most successful one, by a long shot. Maybe the opposite, even. Maynard finished bottom of the Top League just about every year until relegation was introduced, after which they finished second-last for a few seasons until the curtains finally drew. Up until that point, the crafty owner of the club, Magdalene Buchanan, tried to find avenues everywhere in order to sustain her beloved club. She sponsored a club in the defunct Ounaian League, and is currently involved in lower league Chromatik football. For a very long time, Maynard was the only club in southwestern Ko-oren of note - they are now one among many. It's telling that a club this old has few notable players and is mainly known for board room shenanigans.
Support: If you want to support a feelgood story and you never want to be called a bandwagoner. Or you enjoy a club with an enterpreneurial spirit, regardless of the efficacy of their endeavours.
Nickname: The Circus
Rivals: Sydberg, Leeshire United, Glimmerfall Triumph
Titles: 1
Last season: 1st (3rd North)
Next season: 10th. It remains incredible how a team can double relegate like this - especially a club the size of Maynard. Remember the greats of old? Me neither. Cheyne, Scott, Lee, and Sigur are a good start of a squad, but they need so much more. How the mighty have fallen...

Season 40 - Previews - Third Division

Amandine AdF
Stadium: Stade Bizmetal (13000) in Granon, Cote Austral
Background: The rural, natural side of the south Cote Australienne urban area is Amandine's. There's still a lot of people in the club's area, though, but they love to play up the underdog part. The fans are loyal and have found peace in lower divisions.
Support: You like a good underdog story, you like good weather in an area with gorgeous national parks, but you also like the murky, swampy side of that.
Nickname: Frogs, Sinkers
Rivals: Tanques AOE, Granon Altair CF
Titles:

Leeshire United
Stadium: The Timeless Terrain (7900) in Aubury, Leeshire
Background: Pretending to represent the entire southeastern subdivision of Leeshire, the club has always been a decent alternative from roller coaster Maynard.
Support: You're from the southeast but you're not a Maynard fan.
Nickname: Border patrol
Rivals: Maynard AFC

Enkumo Diamond
Stadium: Abisu Biwakan Field (6700) in Enkumo, Etena
Background: Named after the strong baseball culture in the region, the topic of a name change frequently comes up.
Support: You like your peace and quiet: Enkumo is isolated by sea and the Usotsunuma wetlands, and life moving past slowly.
Nickname: Southpaws, Knuckleballers, Swingers

Cresthill FC
Stadium: Buxwich Stadium (9000) in Willowbourne, Corridor
Background: An old club from a big city - the biggest one in town, even - but with no success in its history, and is the cause of pushing football fans to other teams in the region, even.
Support: You want to be here when Cresthill finally turn it around and become as big as the city they're in.
Nickname: Trackies, Railwaymen, Lokomotiv
Rivals: Huthwich Et Iduloren FC, Sydberg Olympia

Blanrasco Borealis
Stadium: Celadrirão (10700) in Blanrasco, Desierto
Background: One of the hottest places in the country, Blanrasco is a frequently overlooked town that ranks towards the bottom of most liveability rankings. The club is a huge draw.

Brighthaven Town
Stadium: Sanders Field (3600) in Brighthaven, Domains
Background: Ko-oren's southwest is dotted with mid-sized towns and cities, each with their own club, and all of those clubs wanted to sound like they represent the entire county rather than just that town. Well, cue Brighthaven, from the city of Brighthaven, who didn't have those pretensions, and look at how they floated up as one of the, if not the, best club in the area. That area being the nation's breadbasket, with hardworking folks, who just want to see a bit of football on the weekend. This is as staunch as it gets in what's otherwise a quaint, calm, and unassuming town.
Support: Fans of lighthouses, as well as bread, baked goods, rolls, baps, buns, bagels, flatbreads, yeast breads, fruit breads, waffles, biscuits, cookies, wheat, barley, oats, rye, spelt, or cereals, that somehow smell a bit of fish.
Nickname: Berries
Rivals: Oceanside South End, Grainshire United

Ambergate City
Stadium: Gates of Alexandria (9000) in Burnet, Burnet Island
Background: Fierce rivals with the island's Athletic, who claim they're the one true club of the island. Ambergate look beyond the island, and actually get some away support.
Support: You're not a native of the island per se, but you like a laid-back club from a holiday island.
Nickname: Sheep, Rams
Rivals: Burnet Athletic
Titles:

---

Burnet Athletic
Stadium: Athletic Club Grounds (7500) in Burnet, Burnet Island
Background: The one club from the 'holiday island' of Burnet, support is strictly for the locals. It's almost like this club exists more for island pride rather than good football and good results.
Support: You're a native of the island of Burnet and you like to pledge your support.
Nickname: Islanders
Rivals: Ambergate City

Odahayashi Revolution
Stadium: Wakatsu Ground (9500) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: Formed by the staff of the old Katashi palaces during the independence days, Odahayashi sees itself as the (service) workers' team, with a nationwide following for it.
Support: You like the city of Katashi but don't agree with the loud, sometimes angry, Kanatsu club.
Nickname: Groundskeepers
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Katashi Azula, Yonenomura
Titles:

---

Katashi Azula
Stadium: Laomei Stadium (5500) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: The fourth club of Katashi since the olden days (the VERY olden days), Azula has carved out a niche and a following, as a friendly-yet-angry, decently rich club.
Support: You don't like to go for the obvious, the second most obvious, or the third most obvious choice.
Nickname: Team 4
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Yonenomura, Odahayashi Revolution
Titles:

---

Club Valeloma
Stadium: Clepolisano (7800) in Valeloma, Finisterre
Background: Sometimes mistaken for Ferrovente's harbour district, Valeloma and its team have a unique identity, never mind the pensioners settling in here.
Support: You like a club to stick it to its larger neighbour, who in turn sticks it to its larger neighbour.
Nickname: Pensionados
Rivals: Castelo e Calvente CS
Titles:

---

Myaranowra
Stadium: Inyarra (8700) in Myaranowra, West Strand Riding
Background: A friendly organisation in northern West Strand Riding, the tourist town always was little more than a warm inn on the way between west and northeast. It's hard to dislike the team, but they're easily forgotten as well.
Support: Small stadiums are your thing, with an easy-going vibe where results aren't the main thing.
Nickname: Picture Perfect Myaranowra
Rivals: Nyashawill
Titles:

---

Vierciennes Victory
Stadium: Arène Maulunienne (5100) in Vierciennes, Gehrenna
Background: A team that lives on disillusioned Willowburnians, but does have a local following, sandwiched between the Huthwich and the Iduloren.
Support: You're in the middle of everything but also part of nothing.
Nickname: Canal boaters
Rivals: Huthwich Et Iduloren FC
Titles:

---

Grimhof VV
Stadium: De Geestgronden (6600) in Grimhof, Frontier
Background: Gritty, nasty, disrespectful, uncouth. Get your thesaurus out for these unfriendly folks.
Support: You want shithousery, you think bookings are badges of honour.
Nickname: Frontiers
Rivals: Ossendal
Titles:

---

Sathtonoru Kaptu
Stadium: Kaptu-Radhtaunagith-ini (5500) in Sathtonoru, Mayara
Background: In the tradition of the capitals' football, it's a solidly built squad with good connections to all.
Support: You like the traditional Gehrennan culture without the capital pretenses.
Nickname: Jatunardin
Rivals: Senoren FC, Gakhithrau Dhikodhra
Titles:

---

Linderivier AFC
Stadium: Bethisserveld (6000) in Almina, Sudaefjoll
Background: Don't let the friendly name fool you: it's quite cold and distant, with football to Straudum's specifications, which is defensive.
Support: You subscribe to the jokes about retiring to a farm in Ko-oren's northeast.
Nickname: Lindenaren, Vieltsers
Rivals: Dartha AFC
Titles:

---

Biney CF
Stadium: Arène de la Mosaïque (7900) in Biney, Cote Austral
Background: An important restocking port on the Bay, Biney and the team have amassed ideas from all over the mercantile cities. A blend of styles.
Support: Fluid teams and strategies are your thing, while still not necessarily playing to your opponents' strengths or weaknesses.
Nickname: Les Lions
Rivals: Foot Soibourgoise en Vert
Titles:

---

Fukushira Guerilla
Stadium: Dololichun Field (6800) in Fukushira, Etena
Background: A resurgence of Yoshiman football brought Fukushira up to this level. Before then, they were second fiddle behind island-mates Tera', and miles away from regional powerhouses Alara and Katashi. Much like their club nickname suggests, they have been looking all over for fast players, focus on attacking football like any Yoshiman club should, and guarantee a lot of goals, shots, chances, with little regard for which goal is threatened. As a young club that's filtered up through the regional ranks, they have yet to make a name for themselves beyond 'young, eager, and attacking'.
Support: If you love a neat little tucked away town, on a relatively remote island, with nobody there to bother you except for a close-knit community, not only is this your club, Fukushira is your town.
Nickname: Yasakamono
Rivals: Teragaseki

Laringen AFC
Stadium: Duivelsveld (13700) in Laringen, Intermare
Background: Intermare's third city has a club that has bounced up and down between divisions. Never a quiet season!
Support: You just want something interesting, not necessarily wins.
Nickname: Phoenixes
Rivals: Rozenvoorde FC
Titles:

---

Launott
Stadium: Noordmonderpark (9000) in Launott, Nordoren
Background: Located in Launott, an improbably big city on the one bit of habitable land in the north, Launott is hardened by the cold, to a backdrop of the mountains. There is some gridiron, soccer, and ice hockey.
Support: You like the cold, the tough conditions, and football that's made for that.
Nickname: Hrabath, Salamantics
Rivals: Shinsen VV
Titles:

---

Planneige
Stadium: Stade Feuillenor (10100) in Planneige, Cote Austral
Background: An ambitious club from an unassuming town, Planneige have built quite the legacy for a railway town.
Support: You've always wondered what middle-of-the-road (literally), small-town Ko-oren is like.
Nickname: Snow Whites
Rivals:
Titles:

---

Senoren FC
Stadium: Rumdurin-ini (13700) in Senoren, KCT
Background: Between the capitals, Senoren is the least capital-like. That also makes it the roughest city of them, which has brought their football club a lot of good.
Support: You are the rebel at the fancy dinner party.
Nickname: The Capital Four Team
Rivals: Sauzjaregaun Saulrag, Sathtonoru Kaptu, Gakhithrau Dhikodhra
Titles:

---

Strongfair
Stadium: Fortune Valley (6100) in Strongfair, Leeshire
Background: Rough and mountainous, Strongfair is a hiker's paradise. Around the city are the grazing lands, hence the nickname.
Support: You either like mountains or cattle, or preferably both.
Nickname: Riders, Cowboys

Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
Stage 6

Stage 7: Arlerou-Opalshire (hilly/mountainous, 149 km) through Avillon along Aurore river, zigzagging through Amandine hills

It's the final stage, and it's a tough one! The hilly stage zigzags through the wetlands and features of one of Ko-oren's most biodiverse areas, the national parks of the Amandine. We start in Arlerou, just beyond the 'Garden of Eden' in the southeast, and the winding paths start right where the town ends. It's southwest to Avillon, up the Aurore river, around the lake from which it springs, and from there on we go up and down and up and down past the sources of the Quister and Iseule - both of which supply the south side of the area with water - before quickly glancing at the skyline of Bruncester in the distance as the peloton makes its final descent at Opalshire.

Max Rice thrives in the hilly conditions, finishing second and easily protecting first place in the general ranking, but the win goes to Tarmo Larsson of Amestapop. Buriskais hadn't had a perfect run every day, but the third place consolidates his overall finish in fifth. Sauvageau, the main Ko-orenite challenger, loses a lot of valuable time today and can't come close to the overall win, with Van Diemen not far behind.

It's round 1! A long offseason has gone by - slowly - and we file back into the stadiums for 32 rounds of Top League football, or, in the slightly more likely event that your favourite club plays in the second divison or lower, 33 rounds of league football. All eyes are on the Top League, including some international fans, what with the incredible performances in the recent IFCFs as well as a Challengers' Cup win for Straudum VV, 'our' first international title! Following that, we have three spots in the Champions League. Will the top three - that's Maethoru SC, Aminey CS, and Straudum VV - all make it in this time? Even disregarding the IFCF: after consecutive titles for Maethoru SC, they are now prize-less for two years with both of the other top three members winning championships. Will they make it back, or are we going to see the first real crisis for the Capital Club?

The season opener is played under a gorgeous sky in Straudum, between the champions and the club that tries to relive old glory, Tanques AOE. As more or less predicted, it's the shutdown defence of the northerners that does it, and Gré Vaugeois blows the final whistle on a 0-0 scoreline, with Tanques having more possession and shots, while Straudum wins the shots on goal battle, and a good role for Aelisire. Promoted Sterrenwolde FC have a great opener versus legendary Maethoru SC, and Monshouwer scoring the first goal of the season in extra time to brutally rip away any hope the home side had of an upset.

Established Schemerdrecht SVV defeats will-they-won't-they-qualify-for-the-CC WSR AFC on two early goals, Advance Alara can't find the net versus Miradela GD (we had this one down as a 5-5 draw, not a 0-0) and Katashi-Kanatsu goes above and beyond to look like the round's best club as newbie Sawada gets his first two goals on back-to-back chances and the other new arrival Tesuna'e scoring just before halftime. With three 0-0s, this wasn't the best ever season opener, but there's enough to like.

Tanques AOE, after holding off Straudum VV, get two wins in Round 2 and 3, over Katashi-Kanatsu and Sterrenwolde FC. The latter don't have the start they would have hoped, playing the two strongest teams in the league across their first 180 minutes of Top League football, and they start off 0 from 3. It's not for a lack of trying, as they equalise versus the southern Cote Austral team twice and still concede that third goal for the 2-3 loss. Advance Alara and Gehrenna FC have a fun one where the visitors score early, lead for 83 minutes, and walk out with just a point after Candy (who could go for a monster number of goals on a somewhat weak Alara team) scores the 1-1 after 89.

Then, what was once the second big rivalry of Ko-oren, but tapering off in quality and excitement with Schemerdrecht SVV not remaining up to par, it's a boring 0-0 between Aminey CS and the northerners. Lopsided possession, but nothing to show for it, but we do get the first red of the league. Schemerdrecht SVV then go on to play Maethoru SC hoping to get another point to get two of the hardest games out of the way early... and they do, taking an early lead and taking another lead later in the game, only for Monshouwer and Aoriene to equalise twice. Sadelaer is another name to check for top goal scoring numbers, adding two to his tally.

And then for the craziest match of these two rounds: the eastern derby, Katashi-Kanatsu versus Advance Alara. Always a recipe for goals and cards, with the hosts usually the winners. A hot autumn evening, strong winds, all the ingredients for weirdness. The hosts do in fact start out controlling the ball and the tempo, but it's Nicholas Candy - remember what we said about him scoring a lot of goals - who opens the score, and then adds another on the cusp of half time. Katashi wants to avoid a home embarrassment, but the half time speech must not have done much as Candy scores his third within a minute of the whistle. But then... four different goal scorers make it 4-3 for Katashi. Kaji after 65, Taniuchi after 67, and then the confidence is shot as Sawada scores after 73. A 3-0 deficit erased within 8 minutes... and Miyahara finishes it off with the winner deep in extra time.

With Rounds 4 and 5 we have a decent idea of where each team is headed. Some have more difficult starts than others, some have more difficult schedules, but nothing could prepare us for the opener of Round 4, with Tanques AOE demolishing Advance Alara to really hurt their confidence (the 4-3 rivalry loss still fresh). An own goal starts it off, and then Tanques goes up 3-0 at half time, scoring twice in a minute (!!) to win 5-0. Katashi-Kanatsu don't get to celebrate much as WSR AFC shake off the early season sleepiness and show what we expected the Eaglebury team to be: an active, young, indomitable squad. Straudum VV are laughing with their defeat of local rivals Schemerdrecht SVV - the derby of the north - as Maethoru SC and Aminey CS both drop points. And the winning goal? An own goal in extra time. Branvon CD know that Sterrenwolde FC have an even more difficult time, which is the only thing saving them from 12th place, despite the additions. Katashi-Kanatsu are destroyed by Aminey CS 4-0, with new striker Michaux scoring two.

We hopefully leave the own goal fest behind us with Rounds 6 and 7. The usual suspects win: Aminey's 3 goals are bookended by two for Advance Alara, winning 3-2 in beautiful football weather on the Bay. We have Maethoru SC and Katashi-Kanatsu having fun with their new toys, Tesuna'e playing flawlessly while Sawada scores, but Maethoru wins anyway. In the battle for fourth, Tanques AOE means business with their 1-0 wins over WSR AFC and Schemerdrecht SVV, and the team with Chiesa and Toussaint is sneaky good despite the preseason remarks. The Finisterre derby - Miradela GD vs Branvon CD in round 7 - has Branvon completely overturn their mood of the previous couple of weeks, winning 3-0 as Carreiro scores two and gets MOTM. Round 7 has the big three all losing or tying, Maethoru SC the only ones to get any points out of it. Moods in the Sterrenwolde FC camp turn sour with another red card as they can't even get a point in Gehrenna - the situation starts to turn dire.

Round 8 and 9 get us very close to the halfway point of the championship/relegation top/bottom 6 cutoff. We have the Cote Austral derby in Étouille, on another gorgeous day down there (we have yet to see bad weather in Étouille, after all) and Tanques AOE get a free goal within a minute, on a long pass back to the GK off the kickoff gone wrong, and Aminey CS can't recover all afternoon. It's 2-1 after 7 minutes and 3-1 after fourteen, and the final score is on the scoresheet just 23 minutes in, at 3-2. Straudum VV saves a point on a late Sawyer strike against visitors Advance Alara. Gehrenna FC get three points that could save them at the end of this all, an extra time goal by Pisjanauden on a hot day in Santa Teresa. The 'lost glory' game between Schemerdrecht SVV and Miradela GD (oh, how good these teams were just 8 years ago!) has Schemerdrecht keep the points at home, only to give up three points to Gehrenna FC as the home club mount so much pressure that Gillinghurst is duped into a header into his own goal.

And then we get the big one: blue versus green, democratic versus meritocratic, entertainment versus results: it's Aminey CS versus Maethoru SC. The away team hope to keep the francophones from scoring, dribbling to a 0-0, but it's star striker Archer to break the game wide open after 68 minutes. A few bookings later, a free kick by Abbagan veers into the near corner leaving Doolan no chance to keep it out. Michaux adds insult to injury with the 3-0 after 80 minutes, and that's a 12-minute demolition demonstration by Aminey.

We're at the halfway point - of the first stage of the season, it's Rounds 10 and 11. Maethoru SC lose two in a row, on another visit to Cote Austral, as now it's the upstarts down south with two early goals that Janoreirinthen's late goal can't mitigate: 2-1. Straudum VV versus Aminey CS is the 'other' title game, one between the two most recent champions of Ko-oren, but no goals are scored in a typical Straudum game, and Quinn is having a beautiful time pissing off the Amineyans. Miradela GD's big addition, Tara Number, scores the only goal of the day over Gehrenna FC, and it's hard to tell how good or bad Miradela is: Number is easily the best player on the team, though Bonstirthinden is a good attacking companion, but at the same time the midfield and defence can be Neu Engollon cheese from time to time - that's to say, there's holes in it. As in the next game, the Miradelans lose 4-2 at Katashi, despite another goal by Number and the opening goal by Bonstirthinden. Sawada (twice), an own goal, and Martis - yes, he's still there - get the win. For the third consecutive round, it's a matchup between the big three: Maethoru SC get duped at home, and Sawyer scores another tremendously valuable goal, just after half time, to land Straudum VV the win as temperatures definitely begin to drop.

The second part of the first part of the season starts, so we're getting the rematches of the first eleven rounds now. Rounds 12 and 13 have the reborn Tanques AOE hosting an uninterruptable Straudum VV, who do one thing: win 1-0. And they do again, with Moore getting the early goal and Tanques unable to get the ball, let alone create chances. Maethoru SC get a rare-ish large win over the pitiful Sterrenwolde FC who seem destined to go straight back down again. Aminey CS lose a surprising one at home to Branvon CD with home fans livid - it doesn't take much to set them off. Schemerdrecht SVV are unable to score in Eaglebury, and while it's not a topic covered often, the northerners are not on par for a CL spot, even with three CL spots on offer. Watch Schemerdrecht, as they might be this year's good team underperforming heavily. Katashi-Kanatsu get something out of their system with the 4-1 win and they're on 3 straight wins, and with Schemerdrecht out of sight they should easily get an IFCF spot. Gehrenna FC get a big win in the relegation fight - mind you, not for direct relegation in 12th but for the relegation playoffs in 11th, with Advance Alara's defence doing god knows what. Schemerdrecht SVV lose at home to Aminey CS, while Sterrenwolde FC finally picks up some points, against the most unlikely of opponents: local rivals Straudum VV.

Rounds 14 and 15 have a few surprises for us. Sterrenwolde FC extend their winning streak to 2, and this time they beat another formidable opponent: Tanques AOE. The southern Cote Austral team had hoped to profit off of the worse form of Aminey CS but now they find themselves to be the losing party. And it's not a tiny margin, too: Brandwacht and Sapping both score twice before halftime, and despite a slight hint at a collapse, with Tanques laying siege to the northerners' goal and with all of the possession and space to set up chances, they only score once, after 90 minutes. Straudum VV are back to their winning ways after last round's surprise, and so are Maethoru SC, handing Schemerdrecht SVV another defeat. Aminey CS tie, finally finding the opening goal after 72 and having the three points denied three minutes later. The Eastern derby - which increasingly looks like it's safe for another year with Advance Alara not disappointing at all - has a 3-1 win for the 'capital of the East', Katashi-Kanatsu. Then, getting every result in round 15 out of the way before we tackle that big score over there, it's more reason for concern in Aminey with a loss to Gehrenna FC who by no means look certain to maintain their Top League spot - sure, Sterrenwolde looks bad but Branvon are a little better than expected, and no other big clubs truly disappoint. The northern derby ends in... yes, a 1-0 Straudum win. Branvon CD get a huge haul of points and goal differential in the 4-1 over Sterrenwolde FC, and with four different goalscorers for Branvon they hope to stay up for another year.

Oh yeah, that 6-4. No hattricks, somehow. The party gets going early with a magnificent pass to Deslys, who doesn't mind the awkward angle and finishes . From then on it's all Advance Alara, who equalise after 6 minutes, take the lead after 16, and double the lead to 3-1 via Duchemin's second goal after only 20 minutes have pssed. Candy also finds his way onto the score sheet, followed by Borthwell and Masuda - and we take a 15 minute break at 6-1. Tanques AOE, with most of the possession and chances after the break, score twice in two minutes to recoup some damage and get to cheer again in extra time - but it's still a two-goal loss. Really a match of two halves.

The 6-4 of last week scared every team into shoring up their defence. That's why Rounds 16 and 17 look a little more modest after a few weeks of blowouts and huge scoresheets. The Intermare derby even finishes 0-0, while Aminey CS drops more points, this time to Katashi-Kanatsu who smell blood and think that third CL spot is theirs this time around. WSR AFC took a few weeks off, but are back with a 2-0 win and immediately take points away from Tanques AOE a few days later in a 1-1 draw - can they make the top 6 after all? Straudum VV, always at risk of going 0-0 if they don't score, actually don't score this week and it's acutally 0-0, which rarely if ever happens for them. The Intermare teams don't have a great end of the weekend, losing to both Finisterre teams.

With the midseason break incoming, splitting the top six from the bottom six, and deciding who gets into the IFCF and who doesn't, it's anyone's game with only Maethoru SC locked into the top six and Sterrenwolde FC locked into the bottom six. Rounds 18 and 19 see some nervous play. Tanques AOE salvages a point versus Schemerdrecht SVV, helping neither. Branvon CD wins the Finisterre derby over Miradela GD, which might as well keep both of them out of the top six. Katashi-Kanatsu score straight from kickoff (an own goal, though), to give Straudum VV a 2-0 lead and they're not giving up. Aminey CS wins the second Cote Austral derby, 1-0 over Tanques AOE, and that might be the three points that puts FC Entertainment in the top half, and their southern challengers could have pretty much punched their ticket, had they not conceded a goal before everyone was properly seated in the Stade. Straudum VV helps Advance Alara get some points, and the second 'Remember how good they were' match between Miradela GD and Schemerdrecht SVV ends in an unsatisfying 0-0.

Rounds 20 and 21 is where the tickets to the top or bottom 6 get booked. If you need round 22, it always feels like narrowly sneaking in. And in fact, every team's fate is decided in this round. Maethoru SC keeps Aminey CS at bay in the first, then destroys the other Cote Austral team a few days later, making it very clear what the Capital Club thinks of the angry, democratic, blue, f**** down south. Both of them. Aminey CS hang by a thread after that 0-0 in Maethoru, but no worries... oh wait, they have Straudum VV waiting next. Another draw is imminent, with Michaux giving Aminey a cathartic lead after 82 minutes, the stadium going nuts, and you can feel the pressure and the feeling of impending doom leave the stadium and the players... only for Moore to return the favour some 75 seconds later for the equaliser. Straudum VV did lose to WSR AFC in round 20 - three goals scored by the thirteenth minute and then WSR was having none of it - and the Eaglebury club picked up three more points at home to Sterrenwolde the next week. And that puts the west coast club in the top six for, well, not the first time, but this time it's sweeter than ever, seeing their squad building philosophy confirmed. Schemerdrecht SVV get six points including a 4-0 win over Katashi-Kanatsu, but at this point it's too little, too late, and Schemerdrecht SVV fall to 11th (!!!!!!) in the table, and these six points keep them out of the immediate danger zone for relegation playoffs (!!!). The roundup so far gives most details away: Gehrenna FC lose twice and fall to the bottom six. Miradela GD lose one of two to Tanques AOE and also drop to the bottom six. Advance Alara pick up four much needed points but that just takes them from 10th to 9th. Sterrenwolde FC are glued to the bottom of the table and are unlikely to change their fate even with the 10 extra matchdays coming up against easier opponents. Branvon CD keep it together remarkably well despite the two losses in these rounds.

Round 22 normally is an edge-of-your-seat, sweaty, nervous happening, but this time around, the gap between the top and bottom teams is just too much. Or is it? If Aminey CS win, it's all over for the dreams of the teams in 7th and beyond. Visiting Sterrenwolde FC, nobody thought that the All Blues had any kind of problem. And they didn't, circulating the ball, scoring an easy goal, and keeping a vicegrip on the tempo and direction from then on. Advance Alara ties Schemerdrecht SVV, Miradela GD ties Katashi-Kanatsu, and Gehrenna FC loses to Tanques AOE... Round 22 could have had some more interesting results, but all four matches end in the most boring result table-wise.

What's that? It's Sydberg Olympia with a folding chair! Instead of the quarreling mining clubs of Bruncester United AFC and Cirelbourne United that called the Top League home for over a decade, and instead of two stable southern clubs that would very much like to go back up one day (Couziers-Olympiques and Castelo e Calvente CS), or even Maynard AFC - one of Ko-oren's oldest and proudest, or the recently relegated Arboren FC, or the upstart Teragaseki squad that can beat anyone on a decent day, or... you get it. It's Sydberg Olympia with an old squad of Top League has-beens that in no way could maintain itself after promotion... but they're in first and it's the results that count. Bruncester United AFC and Couziers-Olympiques are close second and third, and in all honesty there's not much between each team and the next. The real difference is in the immediate quality boost a team gets after promotion... that must have skipped Sterrenwolde. Huthwich Et Iduloren FC are last for now, in the neighbourhood of once Top League stalwarts Maynard and Cirelbourne. What a time to be alive.

The south is ruled by small clubs, with Amandine AdF and Belmore FC dominating. Leeshire United had hoped for a little more, but it's Ambergate and Cresthill that really saw their preseason expectations fall apart. The north is, traditionally, a free-for-all that somehow has Vierciennes on top, with the much higher rated Senoren, Grimhof, Strongfair, Fukushira, up next.

Round 23 Aminey CS starts at a deficit, and if they want to make the CL they'll have to find renewed strength and inspiration somewhere. They certainly didn't find it in Katashi, where they lost 1-0 due to a Polack goal. Straudum VV declares open season on Maethoru with the northerners winning 1-0 in a tame match over WSR AFC. The all-green Maethoru SC, then, loses to Tanques AOE and find their northern rivals to creep closer to them. Tanques, too, get within a point from the capital club, and with Katashi's 3-point haul we have four clubs all close together. Any win or loss from here on out means a club rises or falls, and we won't know anything until the dust settles. In the Relegation Group: five clubs are within two points from one another, and the other is practically doomed. The question is whether Sterrenwolde FC can muster another 10 matches of this, or if they have already mentally clocked out. Losing to Branvon CD suggests the latter, while Advance Alara seems mainly here to score more goals and help their players to the Top Scorer title.

Round 24 Aminey CS win the all-important Cote Austral derby via an early goal by Aeganora - who we haven't seen a tonne of this season - and Michaux, his replacement in the starting XI, sets the full time score after 41 minutes. Katashi-Kanatsu and Straudum VV, who last week looked like real candidates for CL spots, play a tepid game in Katashi where we see Straudum concede two goals for the fifth time this season (after Advance Alara scored 3, Katashi-Kanatsu scored 2, and WSR AFC and Sterrenwolde FC did so too). The northerners get a point via a Moore goal with a minute to go, a poorly defended corner kick, and red-black fans weren't happy, especially as Maethoru SC got their lead back with a win over WSR AFC. Among the bottom six, we have the Santa Teresa derby which is always a fun one: six goals, Spanner scoring twice, Agano supplying the assist to Carreiro, Number getting on the score sheet with a beautiful strike.

Round 25 A game between the two last champions of Ko-oren ends with another Moore goal as the decider no matter how good the Amineyan visitors were. Straudum VV gets back into the title fight leaving Aminey CS with the question of whether they'll make it into the CL at all. Maethoru SC defeats the best team of the early stage of the Championship Stage, Katashi-Kanatsu, 2-1 away with a decider in extra time. The first half is for our Yoshiman hosts but the second is all Maethoru. Tanques AOE, a few years ahead of schedule, seem firmly back in the top echelon of Ko-orenite club football with a flawless win in Eaglebury, showing they can win even without possession - which normally is Tanques' thing. Deslys and Bernier are the scorers there. A round of goals only for forwards. In the bottom six, Advance Alara is just here to have fun, feeding four (!!!!) goals to Nicholas Candy who does nasty things to the topscorer table in a 4-0 win. Schemerdrecht SVV wins the Intermare derby over a hapless Sterrenwolde squad, and Gehrenna FC quietly isn't having the great end to a good season, losing 2-0 on home field.

Round 26 Maethoru SC wins the National Rivalry 1-0 with an own goal off a poorly defended free kick, launched into the Aminey box and a comedy of errors has yLorbhwl, already not one of the most popular players on that team, slot the ball behind Quebecois Kang. Straudum VV matches pace and slows down the Tanques AOE hype train - remember, the latter club once was in the position that Maethoru now has, as the best, most dominant, and most future-proof club in the country, then they somehow relegated, but a club with their means, support, and everything else, will come back... and here they are, to an extent. The game involving the longest travel distance is somehow an away win for Katashi-Kanatsu. In the Relegation Group: Candy scores an extra-time equaliser while Gehrenna FC loses again, and with Miradela GD dropping points... who exactly is trying to 'win' this group again?

Round 27 Tanques AOE scores five on the day for a 4-1 win, and it's difficult not to see them as a title candidate now. It's strange to say that: we knew they'd come back, but not this quickly. Straudum VV and Maethoru SC help the competition with their draw. Aminey CS lose again, and they're pretty far from a CL spot now. Sterrenwolde FC's fate is decided with the loss: they are relegated. This might well be the poorest season of any club in the Top League ever. Advance Alara keep winning - turns out, if it's for fun, they'll score at will and win games, but when points matter, they crack easily.

Eight games to go, and it really looks like it's Sydberg Olympia's to lose. Remember, even if they finish second, they get promotion playoffs, and they would need to lose six points to miss out. Then again, teams are simply a lot closer together at this level so... never say never. Bruncester United AFC have kept up with the league leaders all year and having them back up in the best 12 wouldn't be too far out of the question. From third on to 9th, it's a mess of teams of similar strength but very different outlooks on how football should be played.

Also remember that Bruncester is practically on its last chance with part of their Top League core still intact. It would be the last chance for Umkala, Noordburg, Monurga, Potter, and Gregory to go back up, with the rest of the squad picked up in the second division days and not quite of the same make. Arboren FC might have a last push for the playoffs in them, also with a part of last season's squad intact: with Aandal and Brakke, they have two Top League level players, but they too are 36 and 33. It somehow happens that big talents skip the second tier straight for a shot in the Top League, and as long as teams at the second level can't match them in opportunity, this will remain the case. In turn, that'll make it very difficult for a team at this level to make a push for the Top League and stay up for a while. A team that still has an upside is Cirelbourne United, but they're in 10th. The best mixes of youth and quality at this point might be Couziers-Olympiques and Maynard AFC, but both of them struggle to set themselves apart from the other 10 clubs.

At the bottom, it's Grainshire United and Huthwich Et Iduloren FC, and while both hang on with enough of a chance to escape relegation, they only barely manage to keep up. The club in 10th plays relegation playoffs, and for now that's Cirelbourne United - with Cirelbourne Townside safe. United played Top League football for years and years while Townside slaved away in the fourth, and look at them now!

The South crystallises a little, with clear candidates for promotion and promotion playoffs, with Katashi Azula not far behind. The big expectations with Ambergate and Burnet didn't go anywhere, and cult club Club Valeloma can't make anything happen either. Amandine AdF and Belmore FC might still bring more small town football to the highest levels of Ko-orenite football, and we're here for it. The North has Senoren FC now in second, in a fight with Grimhof VV. Should Senoren go to the playoffs, we go from 'Capital football is pretty bad outside of Maethoru' to 'how did we get three capital clubs in the top 24 clubs'. Should Grimhof make it, there's more credence for the northern renaissance: Sterrenwolde, Straudum, Arboren, Schemerdrecht, all playing about as good as they ever have. Vierciennes Victory are pretty much in the 2nd tier by now, though. Some bigger clubs are at risk of relegation here: Myaranowra, Laringen AFC.

The promotion situation is a little different, with Coloruna giving up its dominant position, allowing Shimohavi to get somewhere - in Yoshima's division. How did Coloruna end up there - and be so dominant? Division B is the most fun one to follow points-wise, while D is the most fun team-wise, with three of these teams recently relegating from the third North. April Bassin FC have got F locked down.

Round 28 Straudum VV is the only mover this round as they score the only goal in 270 minutes of football across Aminey, Maethoru, and Eaglebury. The Relegation Group has some more goals for us, with Miradela GD's stars scoring three in a flawless win and this should get some early hype going for next season: they're really building something. Sterrenwolde FC get a rare win - again, too little, too late - while Branvon CD see the Vilitan Cove Invitational slip away. Advance Alara see Miradela winning and then lose themselves, so seventh place is really trending towards the green-yellow part of Santa Teresa.

Round 29 Straudum VV win again, over a Katashi-Kanatsu team that is losing momentum, while Maethoru SC and Aminey CS both win as well. Nine points for the traditional top three and much needed points for the light blue team, who upstage their southern neighbours in Étouille making the fight for third a hell of a watch in the next few weeks. The top two spots will be Straudum and Maethoru, and that means that 5th and 6th almost surely go to Katashi and WSR. Munarring gets a MOTM for his two assists: a little strange given his position, but two long balls that cut out the midfield completely land Thundhart and Archer their goals. It's all left wing for them, with Tanques tied to their midfield positioning. A nice little tactical touch. Maethoru SC win on a goal after 93 minutes, and we almost had WSR in the CL battle. Advance Alara and Miradela GD both win, and Schemerdrecht SVV also notches a victory - it's been a while since the northern blue and yellow squad had something to cheer about. It's really a season from hell up there.

Round 30 Straudum VV lose the initiative and the league lead down in Aminey! A late goal and a rare moment of surprise for the tactically so well prepared northeastern team. Neri, not on the score sheet all that often given his position, saves the blues who deal with two completely different opponents in back to back weeks and gets 6 points in two tactical masterclasses. Maethoru SC win on home soil, also on a late goal, and Tanques AOE see Aminey CS come a little too close in the battle for third as they lose to a vintage WSR AFC performance. Energetic, young, never giving up... and two red cards. In the bottom six, Branvon CD get a very strange boost in a noisy Estádio Marítimo, scoring four goals in front of 28000 lively fans as they land four different players on the score sheet while duping Advance Alara's attempt at 7th place. Miradela GD profits. Sterrenwolde FC wins the fourth Intermare derby of the season, arguably bringing both teams closer to the edge of the metaphorical cliff.

Round 31 It's all about to be decided. Straudum VV lost last week but get one back over Tanques AOE, comfortably leading all game and not letting the free kick-header from Toussaint scare them with a few seconds on the clock. They do so with the knowledge of the night before, when Maethoru SC lost the fourth National Rivalry of the season, staring at a deficit most of the game and this puts the two contenders nearly level again! In fact, it all comes down to the direct match between the all greens and the northeasterners next week! The National Rivalry saw some scrappy moments and a lot of yellow cards, but none lead to suspensions. In the bottom six, Miradela GD shows just how big the difference is between a resurgent 12th team and a top 6-level squad, with four different scorers and Number somehow not being one of them. Advance Alara quietly celebrate going up 0-1 in Schemerdrecht but don't really know what to do as Egmar equalises within 60 seconds. The extra point does help them to avoid the relegation playoffs.

Round 32 Forget the other two games, it's the match for the title! Maethoru SC and Straudum VV take to the field with their best lineups... and given that this is Straudum we're talking about, it's going to be a boring game. They know how to play a final - IFCF CC, anyone - but this time around, they can't rely on a 0-0. They have to score. And they try, sacrificing some of their defensive structures, and they come close to goals. Maethoru SC is forced to use the emergency brake twice which nets them a red card both times, but the capital club hold on! It ends 0-0... and Maethoru SC are your 40th Ko-orenite champion! Tanques AOE and Aminey CS both win as well - with very different energies, Aminey winning via another Neri goal who's finding his rhythm, while Tanques win 5-2 in Katashi with four different scorers in a fun midfield battle. Every ball that makes it out of there creates a chance, and you won't find two more creative sides in the archipelago. That puts Tanques AOE third, and in the CL for the first time in ages, while Aminey CS will have to make do with IFCF CC football. Katashi-Kanatsu finish fifth and WSR AFC in sixth, which normally won't get you anything but this year... that's still the IFCF. The bottom six has few surprises, with Sterrenwolde FC (12th) holding Gehrenna FC (11th) to a draw which puts the latter in the relegation playoffs, while Schemerdrecht SVV (10th) escapes the worst despite a loss to Branvon CD (9th). Miradela GD (7th) wins in Alara (8th) to get the VCI.

And that's it! Sydberg Olympia holds on - as expected - for the Top League next year, and for the first time we see a team from our largest city, Greencaster, finally make it to the show in the modern era. It's one of the historic clubs of Ko-oren, a very limited club open to teams that have had stints at the highest level going back, well, some 40 seasons now, and to all history buffs this must be a great day. Arboren FC sneaks up from 5th to 2nd for the playoffs, to take revenge after spending two seasons in the Top but never getting a ton of recognition. Teragaseki misses out by a point, and the southern duo (Castelo and Couziers) aren't far off either. Bad luck. At the other end, Cirelbourne United escapes the worst but still has to prove itself versus the second bests of the third tier. The bottom two have been there for a while, and Huthwich Et Iduloren FC only got worse as the season dragged on.

Season 40 - Playoffs, Cup & Awards

Playoffs

Top League <-> Second Division
Gehrenna FC (1) 1–0 Arboren FC (2)

The Top League squad maintain their status versus the team that relegated last year... good try for Arboren FC, but they came up just short in a match that wasn't in any way good but the players definitely showed what was on the line!

Second Division <-> Third Division (Round 1)
Katashi Azula (3a) 2–0 Senoren FC (3b)

Second Division <-> Third Division (Round 2)
Cirelbourne United (2) 0–0 Katashi Azula (3a) (0–0 AET) (3–4 pen.)

Both third tier runners-up battle it out in round one with Katashi Azula winning fairly easily, but that's only the beginning. The best of them takes on the 10th team in the second division - and Katashi Azula keep Cirelbourne U to a clean sheet and take them out on penalties! The once-proud southeastern derby of Cirelbourne U versus Bruncester U AFC not only both relegated, but the silver half of that rivalry drops to the third tier - this is a Maynard-style collapse for the proud club, and look at how long it took Maynard to get back up to second... with not much of a chance to ever get into the Top again. Massive props to Katashi Azula, the second club of Katashi who will take on regional rivals Teragaseki and might even creep closer to Alara and Katashi-Kanatsu!

Third Division <-> Fourth Division (Round 1)
Ambergate City (3a) 1–0 Ferncombe (4b)
Oceanside South End (4a) 0–4 Shimohavi (4c)
Sathtonoru Kaptu (3b) 0–0 Mayara Zunemak (4f) (0–0 AET) (3–1 pen.)
Tuinderbeek FC (4d) 0–0 Liberazul Epitieres (4e) (0–0 AET) (1–3 pen.)

Third Division <-> Fourth Division (Round 2)
Ambergate City (3a) 6–0 Shimohavi (4c)
Sathtonoru Kaptu (3b) 0–0 Liberazul Epitieres (4e) (1–0 AET)

Two third-tierers enter... and both escape unscathed. No upsets in this set of playoffs, and Ambergate City even do it in style with the 6-0 - wow!

Academy Semifinals
Joaqueras Academica de Futbol (5AC) 1–1 Clwb Peldred Peredwr (5AD) (1–1 AET) (4–3 pen.)
Het Vlaggenschip (5AB) 1–2 Aerawa Academy FC (5AA)

Academy Final
Joaqueras Academica de Futbol (5AC) 1–2 Aerawa Academy FC (5AA)

University Semifinals
Greencaster Technical University (5DC) 2–0 Gehrenna National University (5DC)
Universite des Arts d'Aminey (5DB) 0–2 Furune Geijutsu Daigaku (5DA)

University Final
Greencaster Technical University (5DC) 1–1 Furune Geijutsu Daigaku (5DA) (1–1 AET) (6–5 pen.)

University-Academy Final
Greencaster Technical University (5DC) 2–2 Aerawa Academy FC (5AA) (3–3 AET) (4–2 pen.)

GTU flaunt their two extremely talented 18-year olds; Crewnett and Scarshell, with especially Cyrus Crewnett already high on the lists of Top League clubs. Aerawa show how close Academy clubs are to the well-established University ones, getting there more on mentality and tenacity but also the services of Egesa Aedil, who might just be the next fullback from the subdivision of Aerellen - they just can't stop churning out elite players at those positions, and we can't wait for him to get picked up by Straudum VV as is customary. The losers in the round before that: Furune has a lot of Second Division talent that might grow out better, Joaqueras looked to win the Academy Final but Abraham Torre was unavailable for most of that match.

More reason for concern in Aminey, as the local CS couldn't make it to the top eight. Huthwich/Iduloren came so close, but at least there's one second tier club there, SC Sokrona. both Santa Teresa clubs didn't get in, but the middling Gehrenna FC did. Schemerdrecht SVV have a chance at revenge with a relatively easy bracket.

Gridiron - Season 51

Previews
Regular Season & Results

Semifinals

Mayara Wolves (WEST) 23–24 Willowbourne Saints (WEST)
Propelled by their defence, which is certainly not always the case, the Wolves made 2nd place in the West. They face a Saints team that earned their place a lot earlier in the rebuild than expected, with a high octane offence. Bodkin found Erbland on the opening drive with a 23-yard pass for a touchdown, a good start to a day with plenty of points. The Wolves answered with a Maret TD reception on 4th-and-goal, with the teams going into the half 14-14. The Wolves added three field goals, stopped by the Saints on key playes, with either drive-killing penalties or a Guertin sack halting them. The Saints got one touchdown in the fourth quarter, with TE yMaellceoff completely open for a 51-yard score with Bodkin supplying a fantastic throw. Brownhill scored the walk-off FG to end the day on 23-24.

Noordrug Astronauts (EAST) 3–21 Sterrenwolde Dragonflies (EAST)
The Astronauts's very well balanced squad easily got into the postseason in a ruthless Eastern division. Sterrenwolde relied on its defence, paired with awesome quarterback play. The Dragonflies returned an interception for 31 yards (Jennings with the pick), punched in by QB Masman on a 13-yard run that fooled everyone. It was more of the same in the rest of the first half, with LG Reishuis whiffing on blocks for the home team and Sterrenwolde getting more takeaways - DL Gomoltinden forces the fumble, LB Altefeer recovers it - and Masman getting WR Schoolhendrik and TE Kagageera for 9 receptions each on the day, and Schoolhendrik catching the TD in the end. 14-0 in the break, Masman held back to kill time as soon as the second half kicked off. Fukumoto kicked the only points for the home team/first seed, while safety Dollen returned a pick for a TD to end the game 3-21.

The Bowl
Willowbourne Saints (WEST) 21–31 Sterrenwolde Dragonflies (EAST)
It's the mighty offence of the Saints versus the impeccable defence of the Dragonflies - it's not often we get the #1 offence versus #1 defence. The Dragonflies normally don't concede over 10 points, so the Saints scoring three TDs was a scare. Welsh caught one, Hooligan ran one in, and Arile returned a punt for a TD for all of the Saints points, scored in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Bookended by some Masman drives for Dragonfly scores: the second drive for them ended on a Robineau rushing TD, while the fourth quarter ended with a 9-minute drive and a Kagageera TD reception. In the middle, we had Sterrenwolde getting only one turnover, giving a short field to Masman who tossed it to Heerceder for only his 3rd TD of the season. Camba was good on a 44-yard field goal, and safety Aurisea got a pick six.

Team of the Year
G Per Janszoon (25) - Launott Polar Bears
D Aodofe Aoalen (21) - South Aevanna Storm
D Riquard Winterhaag (23) - Launott Polar Bears
W Jacob IJzerkroon (21) - Lamau-Dartha Hunters
W Kjell IJsberg (31) - Noordrug Bi-state
C Mathias Loenaren (23) - Lamau-Dartha Hunters

All usual suspects, with IJsberg as a big name with arguably sub-par production, and Aoalen as a surprise mention - especially as he barely got votes in the U21 competition.

U21 of the Year
1 LW Jacob IJzerkroon (21) - Lamau-Dartha Hunters
2 C Birtle Montrose (19) - Aevanna Scouts
3 RD Aolare Aemo (20) - Egevea Islanders
4 RW Tiele Loenaren (21) - Noordrug Bi-state
5 C Pieter Zwanenzanger (19) - Noordrug Bi-state

Noordrug's future is bright with two in the top five, with Loenaren the obvious name and Zwanenzanger the one who barely snuck in. Also, the attacking talent is coming through in numbers while defensive talent didn't get a chance to shine.

Save %
1 G Per Janszoon (25) - Launott Polar Bears
2 G Wugeld Zudalu (23) - West Coast Blizzards
3 G Ausugo Aurtinia (22) - South Aevanna Storm

Two pairs of brothers take home some prizes: obviously the Loenaren brothers who dominated the league offensively, with older brother and center Mathias being the easy MVP candidate with little brother Tiele close behind in points. Then there's the Aurtinia brothers, with Aelocu a dominant force scoring goals and Ausugo a fearsome appearance in the net. Per Janszoon is the concensus best goalie, with IJzerkroon as the biggest (offensive) talent.

The biggest win is 6 goals clear of the next one. Noordrug and the Scouts played in a lot of these games, but the Aevanna Scouts were on the receiving end of a loss for a few.

Postseason
Round 1
Straudum Ice 7–0 Aevanna Scouts
Aevanna Scouts 1–3 Straudum Ice

Launott Polar Bears 2–0 Noordrug Bi-state
Noordrug Bi-state 1–1 Launott Polar Bears (2–1 OT)
Launott Polar Bears 1–1 Noordrug Bi-state (5–4 SO)

Straudum Ice get one of the larger wins of the season in the playoffs to knock down the Scouts a peg. The proud Aerellen team did get a word in in the second game, but it's not enough. Launott barely survives, and with a third game played and overtimes and even shootouts, they advance by a tiny margin.

Round 2
South Aevanna Storm 0–2 Launott Polar Bears
Launott Polar Bears 3–2 South Aevanna Storm

Lamau-Dartha Hunters 6–5 Straudum Ice
Straudum Ice 4–4 Lamau-Dartha Hunters (4–5 OT)

Launott makes short work of the #1 seed but keeps the scores small. Very exciting games, but it's the other semifinal series that sees goals everywhere. The #2 seed win both, by a single goal.

Final
Lamau-Dartha Hunters 4–0 Launott Polar Bears
Launott Polar Bears 2–3 Lamau-Dartha Hunters

This series also doesn't go to a game 3, and it's the Lamau-Dartha team - down and out just a few seasons ago - that win it all!

Advance Alara
Stadium: Spider Stadium (27100) in Alara, Alara
Background: As one of two clubs that never played in the Yoshiman championship but went into the Ko-orenite league, Alara has always been the underdog, the outsider. They've had to fight for recognition, for their place in the league, but have persevered all this time. Alara is the stereotypical all-out attack club, with many famous strikers and assisters representing its colours.
Support: Fans of underdogs, fans of different approaches, and long club histories full of likeable and less likeable people. They're cup fighters, too.
Nickname: Team Chaos
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Teragaseki, Echizen
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: 8th
This season: Trying to maintain IFCF spots by finishing 4th the season before, Alara did some roster work. Aoki's work was instrumental, but it now seemed lightning in a bottle. There was some budget left over for new signings and actions - but this might be the last time the team gets to do something like that. Sure, there's a history of yo-yoing as they narrowly avoided relegation the year before they finished 4th: maybe it's not a personnel issue, maybe it's a mentality issue. Either way, by finding yPofrewdd on the right fullback position while phasing out 36-year old Mashimo - not just a necessary change, but an upgrade - as well as signing Humphries to take over for local talent Sadahige Masuda, who impressed but also showed inexperience. Then they turned over striker Candy for a new long term option in Liganier, a fresh new talent who's supposed to do a lot of damage on this attacking side.

Aminey CS
Stadium: Stade sur la Baie (70000) in Aminey, Aminey
Background: While they're not the oldest francophone club (that's Tanques), Aminey was founded as the club of the City of Entertainment, the largest city of its region. The club has always had high-profile fans, lots of money... and lots of expectations. Even third stringers are picked apart by local media - and those stories then turn national fast. Big name transfers are a necessity. Who keeps interrupting important celebrity gossip with these dumb weekly matches?
Support: Those who like big names, glamour, and (good) players that are more like movie stars at times.

Resources: Stadium: ★★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: 4th
This season: Last year's fourth place was worse than expected. And yet, fourth place might just be Aminey's new ceiling: they competed against Maethoru for a bit, but the poor roster construction might hurt them going forward. Last season they were tipped to finish fourth, and they did. This season they're predicted to finish fourth again. That said, the starting XI differs in five spots, one of the highest turnover rates in the Top League. the central defence looks completely different with Ó Madaidhín from Darmen and Finisterrais right there from Cote Austral. The latter is a buy for the future, not something Aminey often do but it's probably not even a bad move. Orville (Qasden) and Oddkellsson (Graintfjall) are the central midfielders, with Oddkellsson as the biggest buy of the history of the Top League. They have invested, but will it pay out?

Branvon CD
Stadium: Estádio Marítimo (28000) in Santa Teresa, Finisterre
Background: Santa Teresa was the first soccer capital of Ko-oren - regardless of whether trophies just flowed to Maethoru anyway. Branvon is the working class club of Santa Teresa, representing the harbour and the coast guard, without any of the military pretenses. The biggest rival is Miradela, from the same city, and fans will take two wins over them rather than a title.
Support: Anyone who likes a club of the people. Hard working, honest football.
Nickname: Bastards, Stowaways
Rivals: Miradela GD, Castelo e Calvente CS
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: 9th
This season: After a few close calls with relegation, Branvon has picked up some necessary points and went all the way up to 9th - not bad after some 10ths and 11ths in years prior. For a long time it looked like they'd go the way of Bruncester and Cirelbourne, long time mutual rivals that both disappeared in lower division football. But as Miradela turned it around, so is Branvon, and football in Santa Teresa seems safe for a while. However, even with the changes made in the Bastards' roster - good changes and big improvements - they'll still have a tough time evading relegation as it's not just the 12th place who go down (11ths play playoffs). Ciuru, from Sajnur, is the biggest change, and an immediate upgrade to their attacking intentions, with Serra resorting to the substitutes. Yes, it's still a flawed roster especially in depth, and yes, Sutherland hasn't shown to be the most reliable manager so far, but there's some optimism and there's some budget for improvements next year - if they're still in the Top League by then.

Gehrenna FC
Stadium: Kautherlugin Field (17500) in Gehrenna, KCT
Background: A club of the government, second fiddle behind perennial champions Maethoru, the Gehrennans have found the perfect balance between official business and authentic localness. The bureaucrats don't care too much for football, so anyone left who did care about the club were treated like royalty, and they still are. This club cares about its fans, no matter the flak they get from the bureaucrats in their city, or from the fans of every other club who immediately associate the city of Gehrenna with 'posh'. Because this club isn't posh, even if it plays in quite a posh city.
Support: Anyone who likes the Ko-orenite (social) meritocracy, and wishes to support a team that's at the heart of it. ('mate, you can't support a system of government')

Rivals: Maethoru SC
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★
Resources: Stadium: ★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★
Last season: 11th
This season: What looked to be a brief cameo of a capital club that's not Maethoru, Gehrenna have absolutely shown their value to the Top League. They did finish 11th and survive the playoffs. But that's after the extremely rough jump from the second division into the Top League, which always marks an offseason with brutal roster overhauls. The gap is getting smaller, but it's still brutal. For this year, they can build upon what they had last year and improve on it. The substitutes - mostly recruited in the neighbourhood - are still a risky unit, but the starters are noticeably improved and Top League worthy. They lost Abyssite, one of the biggest defensive talents (at least rated as high as Finisterrais at Aminey). New are yLorbhwl, a more rounded player with more experience. Urruchi is new to improve a dire attacking unit. Gehrenna probably won't finish top six, but they should be able to surprise more opponents.

Katashi-Kanatsu
Stadium: Suzumebachi Stadium (32700) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: They were one of two clubs that predated the Yoshiman championship, and therefore entered into the national, Ko-orenite league. There they established themselves as a somewhat attacking, but always well-led squad with a Yoshiman-only policy right up until modern times. While their trophy cabinet is a bit empty, they've always been up there with plenty of UICA/IFCF berths. They represent the east and its slightly combative stance towards the Gehrennan, meritocratic, government.
Support: Rebels: both tactically (heavily geared towards attack) and politically. That said, Katashi is part of the 'establishment' as one of the original eight clubs as well.
Nickname: Rebels, Royals
Rivals: Advance Alara, Katashi Azula, Yonenomura, Odahayashi Revolution
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★
Last season: 5th
This season: While a fifth place should not be surprising to the Royals, the truth is they rarely finish that well and eastern football feels in decline. Season they were suspected to go 7th, so they outdid their prediction by a little bit, and with our many IF CF places, this means that the easterners easily made international football. They retained the services of Kaji, Oogami, and Sawada, and signed new central midfielder Takagaki, and even found a new centre back in Furuya, monopolising talent from Yoshima. The team feels much improved but the experienced Banijan coach will have to spend some time grinding this team into a well oiled machine. for that reason it feels like Katashi will finish not as well as they did last year but solidly mid-table.

Maethoru SC
Stadium: Rikalathen Arena (44000) in Maethoru, KCT
Background: The club to beat ever since its inception right into the modern era. Record champions. The only club (so far) to go deep into UICA/IFCF tournaments. Name a record, and it's likely Maethoru's. The success is built on an amazingly competent front office, buying and selling the exact right players for the job - even if they're not big names. The club's never been far away from meritocratic politics, as a club located in the heart of government.
Support: Gloryhunters, bandwagoners, fans of efficiency.
Nickname: Capital Club, All Greens, The Champions
Rivals: Aminey CS, Gehrenna FC
Titles: 6
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★★
Last season: 1st
This season: What's not to love for the capital club, as they enter another season as favourites for the title. Sure, their core might be ageing, but they should have another good few years in them and the All Greens never miss on talent they sign. Whereas other clubs are definitely finding new talent and playing them as starters, the squad from Maethoru is holding on to the current generation, hopefully to get another few titles out of them before the generation says goodbye. After that it is a huge question mark to see whether they can get back to their old highs. For the upcoming year they shift around their midfield a little bit but otherwise roll with 10 starters that also played most matches last year. Stability is also is at an all time high but it remains to be seen whether it benefits them in the long run. That said we expect another Maethoru title.

Miradela GD
Stadium: Estádio Fortaleza (29000) in Santa Teresa, Finisterre
Background: Santa Teresa was the first soccer capital of Ko-oren - regardless of whether trophies just flowed to Maethoru anyway. Miradela is the upper class club of the city, representing the business owners and most of the middle class as well. They long looked up to Branvon's trophy cabinet (until winning a few titles when Maethoru wasn't looking) but have always looked down on Branvon's fans and followers. Money's rarely a problem for them, though they value a manager with a plan over just buying every player they want.
Support: Fans of results, the upper class, nobility, looking down on peasants.
Nickname: Admirals
Rivals: Branvon CD, Castelo e Calvente CS
Titles: 2
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★
Last season: 7th
This season: Numerous mediocre years down southeast but Miradela are going back to their old highs from when they won two titles back to back. To that goal they have replaced players at three key positions in the starting 11. Right back Janson is out for Vaillancourt, a huge 22 year old talent. Defensive midfielder from Audioslavia is out for a 24 year old local talent, Vernon Hunt. And as a winger they will be rolling with an 18 year old Ko-orenite to bring down the average age significantly. They will still roll with one of the oldest squads in the league but also one with an incredible upside compared to years prior, to the point where they might even finish in a Champions League spot. It's been a long time since they managed to land themselves that far up but with the general downturn in eastern football it looks like both clubs from Santa Teresa are capitalising.

Schemerdrecht SVV
Stadium: Orange Bowl (54000) in Schemerdrecht, Intermare
Background: The north's most famous club has put the city and the region on the map. Somewhat defensive, Schemerdrecht has a history of suppling the national team with good defenders, holding midfielders, and captains. Their rivalry is with nearby clubs instead of with the regular Aminey or Maethoru. The club is often up there in the championship debate and easily keeps pace with the other contenders.
Support: Supporters of sensible football. If you want a club with no surprises, hijinks, or problematic personalities, Schemerdrecht is it.

Titles: 2
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: 10th
This season: The northerners are many things - but they are not stable. Finishes between third and 11th place are their bread and butter across the last couple years, and it is difficult to pinpoint if they're looking for more stability or if they're looking for higher peaks among bad years. Either way they have continued to build on a squad that should at least rival Katashi or maybe even Miradela on the best days, but we can't shake the feeling that they will lose to relegation candidates on other days. They have the league's youngest squad, which is a huge risk but one that the northerners are apparently willing to take. The oldest starting defender is 21 years old - in fact the there are only three outfielders all then 23. Several of them were already retained from last year, and only in three spots did they change the starting 11. That's 21-year old Ko-orenite wingback Gloren, with new centreback from Cardenao, Odita, and Julius Heer from Kelssek. It looks like football in the north it will remain to be very interesting with what looks to be another yo yo squad, but they have been throwing money at the problem at least.

Straudum VV
Stadium: Hazel Arena (25400) in Straudum, Sudaefjoll
Background: Straudum, despite the humble size of its stadium and fanbase, is one of the eight historical clubs of the country, and yet is the most overlooked team out there. Straudum is the moneyball club, playing incredibly defensive football, finding ignored talents all over Ko-oren, and plugging them into their squad on the cheap. As it's also up in the north, beyond Schemerdrecht (their biggest rivals), it's dark and cold and miserable. ""Could he do it on a rainy Kuhrathu in Straudum"" applies.
Support: Fans of defensive football. If you agree with the Dragonflies' outlook on how the game should be played, Straudum's your club.

Last season: 2nd
Last season: The good vibes do not end in the northeast, Straudum gearing up for another title chase. The capital club are easily the favourites, but the Gatekeepers once again have a shout. It even looks like if they can hold onto the current squad for a little bit, they might win more titles in the future, depending on whether other teams can also build up their squad to this level (mostly looking at the usual suspects here). Their team already was very good so they did not have to make a lot of changes: they're rolling with the exact same squad as last year with no additions, no transfers in or out, which means that squad chemistry really has to shine for them if they are too make first place for the second time in their history.

Stadium: Golhampton Grounds (23000) in Greencaster, Surbourneshire
Background: A decently old team in northern Greencaster - that's Ko-oren's largest city and otherwise goes without representation in football - bringing together all walks of life. From briny fishermen to the hard workers of the harbour, the new money that came to the city as it became the country's financial centre, the stadium is packed with every single tax bracket that the Ministry of Finance can imagine. The only thing missing, so far, are results.
Support: City folk, fast paced people that want to be at the centre of it all, who never have time and rarely have money.
Nickname: Greencastrians
Rivals: Langward, Cresthill FC, Marinwood Sunday
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★ / Club Reputation: ★★★★★
Resources: Stadium: ★★★★ / Financial Situation: ★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★
Last season: 1st (2nd division)
Last season: The Greencastrians have finally done it, they have qualified for the Top League! That means that they immediately go into an offseason full of player transactions, because you often cannot rely on your second division squad to carry you into safety in the Top League, as has been shown by plenty of promoters before. That said they have only altered their squad in about five or six places, fewer than most that make it this far, with most of their defence intact. New in defence is rightback Oldfield, a surprising find this 'late' in his career. The midfield sees Lalaseringun return, with journeyman Quelch and almost as experienced midfielder Meredeth surrounding him. Three new forwards: yOraenaig (who is in the NT), Twickaway (20 years old), and Neri, a newer name who earned some fame in Cote Austral. Maybe they can survive their first year, which is by far the most difficult.

Tanques AOE
Stadium: Stade Amandine (30000) in Étouille, Cote Austral
Background: As one of the historical eight clubs, this club has one ancient championship trophy, as well as one modern one. It's a shame they fell down, right after winning their modern title, even. This club upholds the pride of all of southern Côte Austral, and it's hard to imagine light blue as belonging to any club other than Tanques. The Francophones have always focused on a possession-based playing style, fluid in defence and attack, with many creative playmakers in their ranks over the years.
Support: Lovers of beautiful football, fans with a longing for the past, francophones, or if you like to spend your time in a town that's nice and warm year round.
Nickname: Beautiful Blue

Last season: 3rd
Last season: Whoa, what a return to the Top League! They're right in championship form though the Top League has their tricks figured out now. Now comes the time of building their squad without the castoffs of other clubs. They have won the battle for the signature of Egesa Aedil, another new defensive prospect. The starting XI has only changed in one other position, namely attacking midfielder Rachel Walbuck, altogether giving us one of the younger teams in the Top League, with also wingback Breguet (22), winger Daraluthen (25), and striker Gui Deslys (25) as fairly young. What puts most teams over an average age of 26 is the addition of a lot of older players, which Tanques don't have right now. There's only three. With the minimal changes, Tanques have pushed their team to a top six finish, much like WSR have done in recent years. Survive your first year, build a young core, and let it ride.

WSR AFC
Stadium: Uriagali Field (18000) in Eaglebury, West Strand Riding
Background: Rising from the fourth division to the Top League, just as the latter opened up to promotion/relegation, WSR's story is one of a lot of luck and some planning coming together. WSR is from the west coast of Ko-oren, which is remote and empty. The fans are just happy to be here, knowing things can't always be good.
Support: If your perfect holiday destination is a faraway, rainy, narrow strip of somewhat liveable land, and you like taking life day by day as it comes, WSR's for you.
Nickname: Westerners
Rivals: Pride of Eaglebury
Titles: 0
Staff: Staff Competence: ★★★★ / Scouting Department: ★★★★★ / Club Reputation: ★
Resources: Stadium: ★ / Financial Situation: ★★★★★ / Training Facilities: ★★★★
Last season: 6th
This season: Definitely the biggest surprise outside of the old big 10-12 teams, WSR have proven to be a huge addition to the diversity of the Top League. Bringing a physical, yet fair, and enthusiastic play style and finding all the right players to execute that, it's to Wakefield's credit that the team have started to become IFCF regulars. Last season they qualified as our third CC spot. This year, they managed just one change from last season, and that's Marquez in midfield. The Cardenaoan addition is another example of 'either be very old or very young' as WSR's average age is quite low but the standard deviation is huge. Other teams have made bigger improvements, so WSR is probably finishing in the bottom half of the table - but they've surprised us before.

Amandine AdF
Stadium: Stade Bizmetal (13000) in Granon, Cote Austral
Background: The rural, natural side of the south Cote Australienne urban area is Amandine's. There's still a lot of people in the club's area, though, but they love to play up the underdog part. The fans are loyal and have found peace in lower divisions.
Support: You like a good underdog story, you like good weather in an area with gorgeous national parks, but you also like the murky, swampy side of that.
Nickname: Frogs, Sinkers
Rivals: Tanques AOE, Granon Altair CF
Titles: 0
Last season: 1st, 3rd division South
This season: The difference between the 2nd and 3rd level is huge. Far bigger than the gap from 2nd Division to Top League, and even that's a gap. Amandine have struggled to put together a worthy team, and have decided to put all eggs in 4 baskets: Cyamou has been nominated for the national team despite playing for a modest club. Bethune is a great signing of an insecure player who will probably be at Tanques or Aminey before too long. Adam is the cement for this club in midfield, and Delsarte. Who's getting the ball to him is a mystery, but if they solve that, Amandine might be here to stay.

Arboren FC
Stadium: Aeresa (12500) in Arboren, Azuren
Background: Up in the freezing north, when you say football, they immediately think gridiron rather than soccer. And yet, Arboren has made quite a name for itself in that area. Outside of it, it's still often met with blank stares. Even in that area, it's sometimes met with blank stares.
Support: If the cold never bothered you anyway, where the snow glows white and the wind is howling, and the storm rages on.
Nickname: The Blizzard
Rivals: Egevea Aindauka
Titles: 0
Last season: 2nd, lost playoffs
This season: They're on a good trajectory, after one year of Top League experience and retaining a good core after relegation, they've made the playoffs but unfortunately lost them. Arboren will fight again, with their home advantage especially in winter, the addition of Rautavaara, and already leaning on a fearsome defence with Siemeling, Krijt, Aandal, and Brakke. Their main problem is time: outside of Krijt and Rautavaara, they're pretty old, and how much longer can they rely on the left side of the defence and most of the midfield?

Bruncester United AFC
Stadium: Top Brass Arena (23800) in Bruncester, Surbourneshire
Background: The club has all the makings of a historical, long time contributor to the Ko-orenite soccer scene. And while Bruncester is old, it's not historically old, but the club has made a name for itself nonetheless. Back when the southeast was thriving, the club was founded, and was an immediate success though they couldn't get over the hump. Their rivalry with Cirelbourne was the strongest in the country, before the southeast crumbled economically and both clubs lost their relevance a little bit. Nowadays, Bruncester is a defensive club, trying to get the best players from all over Surbourneshire, hoping to establish itself as the anglophone club.
Support: Nostalgians. Fans of that old-timey feeling. Traveling to away games by train. No-nonsense play.
Nickname: Miners
Rivals: Cirelbourne United, Opalshire FC
Titles: 0
Last season: 6th
This season: A few small moves here and there, eliminating most weaknesses from the roster, but no longer being the southeastern powerhouse, Bruncester aren't likely to promote this year. They even lost their rivalry with Cirelbourne relegating to the third tier: the Townside just isn't the same thing. Griswold is a nice find on the right wing, Umkala remains their highest plaid player, while Potter and Wigram should provide them with the creativity needed to score. Their traditionally strong defence is so-so, but the midfield is just about the strongest in the second tier. That said, we expect a mid-table finish.

C COACH Basil Vahamonde (45, KOR)

Castelo e Calvente CS
Stadium: Edogense (16000) in Ferrovente, Finisterre
Background: Spent decades as a feeder club to both Miradela and Branvon, many great players that would later be legends at those clubs first passed through C&C. Ferrovente is not a small city either, and some players never went through to the Santa Teresan greats, and stayed beyind to make C&C better instead. This culminated in their promotion to the Top League where they are now level with both teams that once looked down on them.
Support: Fans of underdog stories, comeback stories, or revenge stories.
Nickname: (Finisterran) Challengers
Rivals: Miradela GD, Branvon CD, Club Valeloma
Titles: 0
Last season: 4th
This season: Sneakily becoming an institution, Castelo are a stable factor and a team to be afraid of - most days. They would be favourites to promote but their weaknesses are enormous and not to be ignored: there's little to get excited about in attack, even with Ferreiro as an unproven commodity. Most of all, their depth is atrocious. Fillanes, Cales, and Amorin are three local boys who lifted up with the team but have not improved it in the slightest. If the club is to promote, they need to be less romantic about local Ferrovente talent and be a little more mindful of their player selection. Also, Sims, Parada, and Aorei won't live forever. We expect a mid-table finish after an initially hopeful season.

Cirelbourne Townside
Stadium: Plains of Palmyra (10400) in Cirelbourne, Surbourneshire
Background: The smaller, richer, brothers of the local United. Set up by the administrators, the bookkeepers, etcetera, Townside was the rich and posh club, with plenty of ties to the world beyond the local mines.
Support: You like a blue-collar environment, but not a blue-collar club.
Nickname: Bourgeoisie
Rivals: Cirelbourne United
Titles: 0
Last season: 8th
This season: The king is dead, long live the king! The United have lost relegation playoffs, which means that the Townside are now the main club in town. That's a huge shock: United are a major factor in the development of soccer in Ko-oren. And yet, people will have to get used to the white-collar team in town to be the main one. Some will recognise some names of players who bounce around clubs, from Top League to 2nd division, wherever there's something interesting to be done. That's Ogas, Sheils, Meredeth, and Zeltuthaunden. Townside might compete for the promotion playoffs, but it's more likely they fizzle out on the back of little depth and good - but never great - players. Do watch Connor, who could well be their best teammate this year.

Background: Couziers is one of three clubs surrounding Willowbourne that have historically vied for that city's soccer fans - in addition to catering to their local fans in Linieux. Originally, the club had teams in multiple different sports - hence 'Olympiques' - and is still paired to the Linieux Harriers to an extent.
Support: If you want a 'family' club, that's inextricably linked with its fans and players despite being in such a modern, well-connected city.
Nickname: Lighthouses, Fishermen
Rivals: Aminey CS, Linieux en Onyx, Bellmare Union
Titles: 0
Last season: 5th
This season: It's always hard to tell with the Linieux team. Are they a big club, capable of rivaling their francophone brothers Aminey and Tanques? Or are they a more than stable factor at the second level, with Castelo? We expect a bit of a regression year: other clubs have an idea and inspiration, and Couziers are just 'that central team' everyone expects to beat once and lose to once. There's some great players, like Stagg, Trintignant, Nova, and Brunberg... and there's a few questionable choices. Leroux wasn't given the best team the front office could have put together. Will they end up in the relegation playoffs, even?

Katashi Azula
Stadium: Laomei Stadium (8000) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: The fourth club of Katashi since the olden days (the VERY olden days), Azula has carved out a niche and a following, as a friendly-yet-angry, decently rich club.
Support: You don't like to go for the obvious, the second most obvious, or the third most obvious choice.
Nickname: Team 4
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Yonenomura, Odahayashi Revolution
Titles: 0
Last season: 2nd, 3rd division South, winners of the 3rd division playoffs and winners of promotion playoffs over Cirelbourne Utd
This season: It's only year one of the playoff system and we've got our huge upset! The second team of Katashi (or fourth, historically) are up to the second level - who would've thought! With few means and little experience, how can they stay up? The expectations are minimal, but they've gotten some interesting signatures in the offseason. Godolpin, Amawai, Nam, and Izuvala are all players that can expect to sign bigger contracts should the Azula go down. With Nurmi, West, and Carter, they signed international players well beyond their means - let's see how this gamble pays off.

Maynard AFC
Stadium: Armskirk Municipal Ground (26000) in Maynard, Leeshire
Background: This might just be the most colourful club of Ko-oren. Not the most successful one, by a long shot. Maybe the opposite, even. Maynard finished bottom of the Top League just about every year until relegation was introduced, after which they finished second-last for a few seasons until the curtains finally drew. Up until that point, the crafty owner of the club, Magdalene Buchanan, tried to find avenues everywhere in order to sustain her beloved club. She sponsored a club in the defunct Ounaian League, and is currently involved in lower league Chromatik football. For a very long time, Maynard was the only club in southwestern Ko-oren of note - they are now one among many. It's telling that a club this old has few notable players and is mainly known for board room shenanigans.
Support: If you want to support a feelgood story and you never want to be called a bandwagoner. Or you enjoy a club with an enterpreneurial spirit, regardless of the efficacy of their endeavours.
Nickname: The Circus
Rivals: Sydberg, Leeshire United, Glimmerfall Triumph
Titles: 1
Last season: 9th
This season: Wow. What an offseason. Just when you think Maynard have accepted their fate as second tier team - despite the incredible addition to the Top League they've long been as the major factor in the central, south, and west - remember, there didn't use to be a lot of clubs west of Maethoru. Three key additions in Fairbeard, Casabjan, and Lesidhaunden has completely changed the outlook of their midfield and call us crazy for going all in on their decisions, but we think Maynard are in for a shot at the Top League once more.

SC Sokrona
Stadium: Van Kwarteldoornstadion (7000) in Sokrona, Sudaefjoll
Background: Battle hardened in the cold of the northeast and further steeled by the relative individualism of the area, Sokrona have fought for their place in the pyramid. The club of the mountains, and a relative hell for away teams (and their fans). If there's such a thing as Vikings in Ko-oren, they'd live here.
Support: The cold never bothered you anyway.
Nickname: Vikings
Rivals: MEZWO-VEDC Lamau, Straudum VV
Titles: 0
Last season: 7th
Last season: Relying on their scary defence didn't do them too good last season. Buitenbeld and Juric have since made the northeast their home - and the defence remains. Individually they're all good players, but opponents knew to target Solheim and Sterling, who aren't bad but they're certainly not the confident decision-makers. It's a better team than last season and will probably finish top half, but we're not convinced of anything more.

Sterrenwolde FC
Stadium: Noorderkroonpark (14500) in Sterrenwolde, Intermare
Background: An ancient club, well, when they were known as the Sterrenwolde Sportvereniging, which housed anything from (field) hockey to gridiron to football. Since then, each club that sprouted from it keeps on using the green and blue as its colours, with zero regard for how those colours became national colours a bit further down the line. They will do anything to beat nearby Schemerdrecht, as they totally do not have an inferiority complex related to anything coming from that city, and they keep insisting that Sterrenwolde's harbour is bigger/better than Schemerdrecht's, and how Sterrenwolde's surrounding landscape is nicer, and eventually you wonder why a city would bring up another city quite so often. The city has a long history in Ko-oren's unification, all jokes aside.
Support: History buffs, and fans of slightly defensive football ('slightly' on the Ko-orenite scale, which makes it quite defensive alright).
Nickname: Harbourmasters, Nationals
Rivals: Schemerdrecht SVV, Kerkhaven-Rommefort-Combinatie, Tuinderbeek FC, Straudum VV
Titles: 0
Last season: 12th (Top League)
This season: Another team with Top League experience, and it's only making the second division a better watch. Of course they lost a few pieces, but they've made up for them pretty well. And to be honest, they only needed to replace four names - the rest are under contract for at least another year. With Lei, Irvin, Oosterveen, and Sapping, they have four of the best players of the Second Division, and it's their year to bounce back up.

Teragaseki
Stadium: Dokudo Stadium (12000) in Teragaseki, Etena
Background: They long spent their time as the third club of Yoshima, behind Alara and Katashi, as they kept winning the specially created Yoshiman second division (back when that existed), with no way to find a new challenge. Then promotion and relegation rolled around, the Yoshiman system was integrated into the national one, and the club immediately looked beyond their region's borders. This eastern sporting town is addicted to anything competitive: football, baseball, rugby league, athletics, swimming, cycling on the only (ring) road around the island, navigating around steep cliffs and mountains.
Support: Fans of every sport, anything competitive, and the colour orange. Yes, that's a colour you're never going to see anywhere else in Ko-oren, except maybe an ill-advised hipster away jersey.
Nickname: Men in Orange
Rivals: Advance Alara, Fukushira Guerilla
Titles: 0
Last season: 3rd
Last season: Year after year of good performance, but is it finally time for the Etena squad to set their sights higher? Like Huthwich, Sterrenwolde, Couziers, and Castelo, they're always in the running for one of the top two spots, but they never quite seem to put it together. They have the squad to try again, with new goalie Petrosian, and the successful Vigouroux and Vujimura. Alara and Katashi allow them to build up as they want, and the men in orange gladly use their rejects, but it's time they stand up for themselves.

Vierciennes Victory
Stadium: Arène Maulunienne (7500) in Vierciennes, Gehrenna
Background: A team that lives on disillusioned Willowburnians, but does have a local following, sandwiched between the Huthwich and the Iduloren.
Support: You're in the middle of everything but also part of nothing.
Nickname: Canal boaters
Rivals: Huthwich Et Iduloren FC
Titles: 0
Last season: 1st, 3rd division North
This season: A surprise from the North: we expected an Arboren or Sokrona-like frigid team to go up, but it's the friendly climate Vierciennes. For them, too, it's an offseason of frantic signings. Goodenough, Bonnot, Lafitte, are immediate upgrades, but most of the rest of the squad is carried over. And that doesn't bode well. It's not a terrific team but we'll see if they can upstage anyone.

Season 41 - Previews

Ambergate City
Stadium: Gates of Alexandria (9000) in Burnet, Burnet Island
Background: Fierce rivals with the island's Athletic, who claim they're the one true club of the island. Ambergate look beyond the island, and actually get some away support.
Support: You're not a native of the island per se, but you like a laid-back club from a holiday island.

Titles: 0

Bellmare Union
Stadium: The Hollow (5500) in Bellmare, Gehrenna
Background: In the hills, one of the country's most densely populated areas, surrounded by cities and rivals on all sides, Bellmare find a way to prosper.
Support: You want every match to carry an element of a rivalry.

Belmore FC
Stadium: Memphis Lane (5300) in Belmore, Springlands
Background: From the middle of the Meadows - basically, the southwestern fertile blob - Belmore are mostly famous for their farmer's markets.

Titles: 0

---

Blanrasco Borealis
Stadium: Celadrirão (10700) in Blanrasco, Desierto
Background: One of the hottest places in the country, Blanrasco is a frequently overlooked town that ranks towards the bottom of most liveability rankings. The club is a huge draw.

Burnet Athletic
Stadium: Athletic Club Grounds (7500) in Burnet, Burnet Island
Background: The one club from the 'holiday island' of Burnet, support is strictly for the locals. It's almost like this club exists more for island pride rather than good football and good results.
Support: You're a native of the island of Burnet and you like to pledge your support.
Nickname: Islanders
Rivals: Ambergate City
Titles: 0

---

Cerryrhos yDhiwmydis
Stadium: Chennwmaen Stadiwm (10400) in Cerryrhos, Domains
Background: The Domains: a patchwork of identities, with Cerryrhos as the most Mawr one. It's hard to find even ground for a sports field, but they did it.
Support: You like classical Gehrennan culture, in all its small glory.
Nickname:
Rivals: Grainshire United
Titles: 0

---

Cirelbourne United
Stadium: Quicksilver Stadium (15500) in Cirelbourne, Surbourneshire
Background: A team as old as time, from the gritty southeastern mining region. The mines have closed, businesses have left, but the people and their sports are still there. Cue a lot of heartbreak when Cirelbourne got relegated after decades in the Top League - these guys just can't catch a break. This club is bigger than anything else in town, with the rivalry with Bruncester in close second. Both rugby codes have simply given up on the area, for example.
Support: If you want to see a team work for every single result, every single goal, every single metre on the field, Cirelbourne is your team. There are plenty of hometown heroes and loyal fans. Or you're a masochist.
Nickname: Miners
Rivals: Bruncester United AFC, Cirelbourne Townside
Titles: 0

Coloruna de Paraiso
Stadium: Amlesta (7900) in Colenario, Finisterre
Background: Quietly developing as a force in Ko-orenite culture and sports, the southeastern 'small' coast is here. The club name might be an overstatement, there's a kernel of truth there.

Cresthill United FC
Stadium: Buxwich Stadium (9000) in Willowbourne, Corridor
Background: An old club from a big city - the biggest one in town, even - but with no success in its history, and is the cause of pushing football fans to other teams in the region, even.
Support: You want to be here when Cresthill finally turn it around and become as big as the city they're in.
Nickname: Trackies, Railwaymen, Lokomotiv
Rivals: Huthwich Et Iduloren FC, Sydberg Olympia
Titles: 0

---

Grainshire United
Stadium: Ring of Tregaron (6700) in Tregaron, Domains
Background: The result of a merger of several clubs in the area - and then they forgot to perform for a while. The southwest has many large clubs, and Grainshire just happened to be one of them, until they got their stuff together. Universally hated by fans of other clubs.
Support: No-nonsense football, lots of small-time sponsors, and cheap (not necessarily good) stadium bites.
Nickname: Farmers
Rivals: Brighthaven Town, Oceanside South End, Cerryrhos yDhiwmydis
Titles: 0

---

Leeshire United
Stadium: The Timeless Terrain (7900) in Aubury, Leeshire
Background: Pretending to represent the entire southeastern subdivision of Leeshire, the club has always been a decent alternative from roller coaster Maynard.
Support: You're from the southeast but you're not a Maynard fan.
Nickname: Border patrol
Rivals: Maynard AFC
Titles: 0

---

Odahayashi Revolution
Stadium: Wakatsu Ground (9500) in Katashi, Katashi
Background: Formed by the staff of the old Katashi palaces during the independence days, Odahayashi sees itself as the (service) workers' team, with a nationwide following for it.
Support: You like the city of Katashi but don't agree with the loud, sometimes angry, Kanatsu club.
Nickname: Groundskeepers
Rivals: Katashi-Kanatsu, Katashi Azula, Yonenomura
Titles: 0

---

April Bassin FC
Stadium: Zonhorjuth-engiu (10300) in Tathsoren, April

Nickname: Gehrens

Titles: 0

Egevea Aindauka
Stadium: Ring of Aurelia (8000) in Egevea, Aerellen

Support: Your favourite sport is ice hockey but you don't mind soccer.
Nickname: Sunnysiders
Rivals: Arboren FC
Titles: 0

---

Fukushira Guerilla
Stadium: Dololichun Field (6800) in Fukushira, Etena
Background: A resurgence of Yoshiman football brought Fukushira up to this level. Before then, they were second fiddle behind island-mates Tera', and miles away from regional powerhouses Alara and Katashi. Much like their club nickname suggests, they have been looking all over for fast players, focus on attacking football like any Yoshiman club should, and guarantee a lot of goals, shots, chances, with little regard for which goal is threatened. As a young club that's filtered up through the regional ranks, they have yet to make a name for themselves beyond 'young, eager, and attacking'.
Support: If you love a neat little tucked away town, on a relatively remote island, with nobody there to bother you except for a close-knit community, not only is this your club, Fukushira is your town.
Nickname: Yasakamono
Rivals: Teragaseki
Titles: 0

---

Grimhof VV
Stadium: De Geestgronden (6600) in Grimhof, Frontier
Background: Gritty, nasty, disrespectful, uncouth. Get your thesaurus out for these unfriendly folks.

Nickname: Frontiers
Rivals: Ossendal
Titles: 0

---

Huthwich Et Iduloren FC
Stadium: The Ovation Station (9000) in Huthwich, Gehrenna
Background: A decently old club from a town in Surbourneshire that isn't Greencaster - yes, they exist - as one of the many towns along Ko-oren's southern bight. A railway town (but what town isn't). The club itself found that it attracted the most press when they announced they'd be playing in every colour of the rainbow (giving rise to the phrase 'fan of Huthwich' akin to the phrase 'friend of Dorothy'). For a long time, they were the club Greencastrians supported in absence of a decent alternative - and you'll still find some H&I merch there. Despite it all, the club plays in one of Ko-oren's smallest stadiums (seating 5000, presently) with one of the best names (the 'Ovation Station').
Support: Fans who want colourful jerseys, colourful personalities, and colourful ideas.
Nickname: Rainbow Club, Willowbourne's Second Choice
Rivals: Cresthill FC, Vierciennes Victory, Sobdorlugin Komtherod
Titles: 0

Laringen Almoedskapers

Nickname: Phoenixes
Rivals: Rozenvoorde FC
Titles: 0

---

Launott Fa Arda
Stadium: Noordmonderpark (9000) in Launott, Nordoren
Background: Located in Launott, an improbably big city on the one bit of habitable land in the north, Launott is hardened by the cold, to a backdrop of the mountains. There is some gridiron, soccer, and ice hockey.
Support: You like the cold, the tough conditions, and football that's made for that.
Nickname: Hrabath, Salamantics
Rivals: Shinsen VV
Titles: 0

---

Linderivier AFC
Stadium: Viltsirveld (6000) in Almina, Sudaefjoll
Background: Don't let the friendly name fool you: it's quite cold and distant, with football to Straudum's specifications, which is defensive.
Support: You subscribe to the jokes about retiring to a farm in Ko-oren's northeast.
Nickname: Lindenaren, Vieltsers
Rivals: Dartha AFC
Titles: 0

---

Sathtonoru Kaptu
Stadium: Kaptu-Radhtaunagith-ini (5500) in Sathtonoru, Mayara
Background: In the tradition of the capitals' football, it's a solidly built squad with good connections to all.
Support: You like the traditional Gehrennan culture without the capital pretenses.
Nickname: Jatunardin
Rivals: Senoren FC, Gakhithrau Dhikodhra
Titles: 0

---

Senoren Lurthesinun FC
Stadium: Rumdurin-ini (13700) in Senoren, KCT
Background: Between the capitals, Senoren is the least capital-like. That also makes it the roughest city of them, which has brought their football club a lot of good.
Support: You are the rebel at the fancy dinner party.
Nickname: The Capital Four Team
Rivals: Sauzjaregaun Saulrag, Sathtonoru Kaptu, Gakhithrau Dhikodhra
Titles: 0

Strongfair Narrow United
Stadium: Fortune Valley (6100) in Strongfair, Leeshire

Titles: 0

Turnaarde FC
Stadium: Tempel van Turnaarde (6600) in Turnaarde, Intermare

Nickname: Farmers
Rivals: Vleugelberg

MOTM: LB Kasmab Kaddaske (Miradela GD)

MD1 And that's the kickoff to another season! Will Maethoru SC get their crown back after a few 'dire' years of finishing second? Will Branvon CD avoid relegation again? And how are our newly promoted Sydberg Olympia looking? Can Schemerdrecht SVV not be volatile as all hell this year? Are Miradela GD really much improved or is it a new coat of paint over the same rusty structure? Which of the two eastern clubs, Advance Alara or Katashi-Kanatsu, is allowed to be semi-decent? And which of Straudum VV and Aminey CS are the main title contenders? Which of Tanques AOE, Gehrenna FC, and WSR AFC will make IFCF football - those three are the big unknowns. Either way, we get started with a draw in Santa Teresa to open the season in a hot Marítimo, with Deslys scoring the season opener - he'll probably score a few more this season - but Carreiro spoils the party just before we hit extra time. Schemerdrecht SVV have the better of the game in their home opener but lose anyway, which doesn't instill a lot of confidence in their new and improved ways. An early equaliser gets Sydberg Olympia their first official Top League goal and point. Straudum VV keep Advance Alara to a clean sheet in the clash of the immovable object (Straudum VV's defence) and the unstoppable force (Advance Alara's attack). Maethoru SC kick off their campaign with an important win through goals by standout midfielder Janoreirinthen and the striker whose shoulders are dealing with a LOT of pressure - Monshouwer. Lastly, Number opens the score for Miradela GD but a quick equaliser and a late winner get the three points dramatically to Aminey.

MD2 If you like attack, Alara's your place hosting an adventurous Miradela GD, with Alara only getting a goal in to avoid a shutout after 89 minutes. Four goals for Miradela across two weeks, four different goalscorers. Is this their year for real? Meanwhile, Maethoru SC defeat Straudum VV in an early-season absolute top game between the pragmatic Capital Club and the staunch defence of Straudum. A low cross in a crowded box ends up the only goal, courtesy of Adam Archer... it's an own goal. Schemerdrecht SVV keep Branvon CD at bay for 87 minutes after a silly early goal.

MD3 Gehrenna FC record their second 0-0 in two weeks. Straudum VV lose again, this time to a resurgent Katashi-Kanatsu through a player who has scored dozens of goals for the club, Miyahara. Aminey CS get an early lead in the table through a 93rd minute winner over Advance Alara - Rex Archer, brother of own-goal-scorer Adam, scoring another goal for the Blues. Maethoru SC lost points in probably the most entertaining game so far: exciting play, high level, high tempo, plenty of chances.

MD4 A match that's usually good for goals and chances ended in a 1-0 Alara win with Lignanier's first goal - there should be more to follow, or else Alara is in a bad place. Tanques had the best of the game, with the midfield dominating play and Bernier, Daraluthen, and Walbuck all playing as good as they ever have, but Alara somehow got a clean sheet out of it and a counterattack goal? Not sure what happened there. Next up is the big rivalry of Ko-oren, it's Maethoru SC versus Aminey CS - meritocracy versus democracy, success versus money, etc. Just before halftime, Joljaurinden opened the score, and Monshouwer had to undo Aminey's equaliser with a minute left. Maethoru played the full 45 minutes twice while the Blues clocked out just a few minutes too early both times. As with every loss, there are some very angry sounds coming from the blue side, how even with this squad they can't beat the big rival. Is it Ó Madaidhín not fitting in? Is it going all in on a young centreback in Finisterrais? Is Oddkellsson bringing what he should? Is Michaux deserving of a starting spot? Straudum VV meanwhile got a late winner - well in extra time - to deny Gehrenna FC a third straight 0-0.

MD5 Spanner gets a brace within 30 minutes to help Miradela GD to a win while plunging Gehrenna FC into a crisis. That said, Theshendan did play a hell of a game that could have ended 7-0. Aminey CS continue their depressing streak with Sawada scoring after 87 minutes to help Katashi's case. WSR AFC isn't rewarded in a close match with Deckere saving Schemerdrecht SVV and hopefully giving the latter a good season for a change. It's a remarkably good match - probably top 5 so far - showing that there's quite a bit of talent in the Top League midtable (or below, depending on your attitude towards these two).

MD6 The first real offensive explosion has happened and as everyone predicted, it was the Eastern Derby (Katashi-Kanatsu vs Advance Alara)! Except... the Eastern Derby came and went with a Lignanier brace - who is now really manifesting himself in the top scorer battle and the home side was left with nothing and the weather didn't help their moods either. No, it was the newcomers from the south coast in their home defeat versus west coast's WSR AFC with the shootout. Radcliff and then Jubeck doubling the lead, yOraenaig getting one back after half time. Just as it looked that Marquez finished it off in the final 10 minutes, Twickaway got a goal less than 60 seconds later, which made for a great final 6 minutes, but no additional goals. The northern derby, Schemerdrecht SVV vs Straudum VV, has ended in a Schemerdrecht win for the first time in forever, with Deckere scoring early - kind of the only thing you can do to catch Straudum off guard - and then sitting back, beating Straudum using their own game. The Santa Teresa derby ended with three red cards - a somewhat tame derby then - but no goals.

MD7 A bunch of small scores, with WSR AFC scoring twice in extra time to win, or Miradela GD's season not going to plan with another own goal, or Gehrenna FC's third 0-0 in a few weeks... but of course we can only talk about Maethoru SC flexing on Katashi-Kanatsu. The latter really want to be in that top group, the former are the benchmark for the entire league. 6-1. Monshouwer completed a hattrick within six minutes from the 23rd to the 29th, with his second coming after a comedy of errors on the kickoff - and all that after an early, daring 0-1 for the visiting easterners. Maethoru left no pride intact with Monshouwer adding his fourth, all while Joljaurinden scored once and supplied four assists to win the game. We'll be talking about this one for a while - big scores are rare in the Top League, especially between 'established' big clubs. 6-1. Wow.

MD8 Monshouwer adds two more goals after his four-goal outing last week to get 6 across eight days, playing the capital rivals Gehrenna FC. Katashi-Kanatsu find their optimism pretty quickly after Tanques gift them the win on a late own goal. Aminey CS fall to a rising Schemerdrecht SVV team with Deckere again scoring the only goal of the game. WSR AFC make it clear there's only one title contender in town with Straudum VV falling on the west coast under really poor circumstances. Possession doesn't really count when you're playing on layer of mud and maybe? some? grass?

MD9 The big three all win, and Gehrenna FC finally score some goals. So does Advance Alara. And Maethoru SC still has them beat with their 4 in a chaotic game with Branvon CD, a team we haven't covered yet much but always bring some weirdness to games, and it's safe to say that the All Greens got caught up in that. Six goals in the second half, with back to back Ulloa goals to signify a Branvon comeback, Aoriene's two goals and Aiamara's opener made sure that the Capital club didn't suffer losing points here. Three goals by Aerellen players - you love to see it!

MD10 Tanques AOE can't seem to get it right. This week they fought back into the match by scoring two goals in the second half to erase a 2-0 deficit. Schemerdrecht SVV also have to re-evaluate if their goal of making the top six is realistic, this time after a loss at home to Maethoru SC - who can't seem to lose anymore. The reason the margin between the two clubs was so small was through Featherborn and Goossen, who played flawlessly. Advance Alara is on a run, now with a 3-0 away win, with three different goalscorers: say what you will, but Alara has about 8 or 9 capable scorers on their squad compared to maybe 4 on most other teams. Rex Archer's early goal gives Aminey CS a win over another talented WSR AFC team, who, like every week, play great with basically no weak spots in the first XI. Straudum VV get a win on a own goal, while Miradela GD have looked better than at any point in the last half-decade. Bittencourt, Laza, Bonstirthinden, and the Number-Spanner duo - they're not entirely there yet, but with the depth they have compared to the depth even a club like Maethoru SC has, they're back at the top of the pecking order.

MD11 Manager of the Week: Sutherland, of Branvon CD. They haven't had much to celebrate, but a solid plan gave them an early lead and good substitutions protected it, with Serra and Mislahaunden coming on to cover for Ulloa's poor backtracking and Wakaizumi's questionable play all year. Maethoru SC score five like it's nothing and two other teams that look way stronger than the previous years do so too - almost. Alara scores 3 on the team with the highest work rate and KMs of the league, WSR AFC. Miradela GD score 4 on Tanques AOE - imagine telling that to some 12 months ago.

Lots of ties this week: two mid-table teams at best enjoy a 0-0 in Gehrenna, two teams at the top of the league share a 0-0 in Aminey, and two clubs fighting for every metre get a 2-2 in Katashi. Power to the winners, who sneak away from their rivals: Maethoru SC, Advance Alara - at the cost of title challengers Straudum VV and probable top sixers WSR AFC.

MD13 Best 10 minutes of the week: Schemerdrecht SVV turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 win via an own goal and an extra time Sadelaer strike. We also had the Cote Austral derby between Tanques AOE and Aminey CS, with the visitors from south Cote Austral getting a surprising win - maybe the Top League just isn't that into upsets - with Toussaint scoring early and Deslys getting a goal after Aminey pulled the goalie and hitting the 2-0 from the midway line after successfully defending a corner. This one must sting in Aminey: not only is it a loss in a week where Straudum won - their biggest rivals for 2nd place now that Maethoru looks out of reach - but it's to their rivals that really have no business beating them. It's not exactly Tanques' year after all. The biggest match of the week was definitely Straudum VV versus Maethoru SC, with the home team from the north taking the win on an early goal - Maethoru have looked vulnerable in the first 10-15 minutes of most games so far - and then not giving up a goal in true Straudum style. Huge roles for Aelisire and Parsons, not so great finishing by Joljaurinden.

MD14 It was the week of midfielders! Five goals scored by them this week, a welcome change from the regular striker games - except Branvon CD and Sydberg Olympia, who scored five goals in the anti-relegation game, four by forwards and one by a defender, but that was an own goal. It was Wakaizumi, who really isn't having the time of his life in Santa Teresa despite being one of the more hyped players going into the season. Either way, Auvergne handed Maethoru SC their second consecutive loss - that never happens - scoring after 3 minutes - yes, Maethoru are VERY vulnerable early in games. A goal after five minutes was the only goal in the Tanques - Schemerdrecht game, and then Oddkellsson gave Aminey something to cheer for that Archer ultimately salvaged as a 2-1 win for Aminey CS over Advance Alara. WSR AFC are back to winning, and a top six finish is still well within reach for them.

MD15 Alara beats up on a weaker opponent 3-0 and Miradela GD score four in a win over Katashi-Kanatsu, with Miradela sitting very happily in the top three while Katashi will have to shelve their expectations for a good season. They're far from the CL contenders they hoped to be, but they're now closer to relegation than to the IFCF in general. Meanwhile, Branvon CD might not have a lot to celebrate, but they did get a win and scored a candidate for goal of the year: Carreiro outpaced two defenders before juking another and sending the ball into the top corner. The second National Rivalry has gone with a good showing by Aminey goalie Kang but still ended in a Maethoru win, with special roles for Entatingun (assist) and Michaux (two huge misses for Aminey), as well as a blunder by Lyons to give Michaux that chance in the first place. Orville hasn't had a huge role in the Aminey attacking game but was unbeatable in the buildup.

A parade of 1-0s in the rest of the league, with relegation candidates Tanques holding off Sydberg Olympia, WSR AFC getting a vital 3 points in the top six battle over Schemerdrecht SVV, and Aminey CS' Michaux redeeming himself for last week by scoring after three minutes.

MD17 A Number brace settles the second Santa Teresa derby in favour of Miradela GD. Branvon CD had, outside of a few Ciuru chances, not much of a claim to a point there. Kaddaske was fantastic in the buildup and if Miradela can use that going forward, that'll make them a little more dangerous. Two more derbies today: the Eastern one confirmed what we already knew, that Alara has a leg up over Katashi in the second game that had both teams get over 10 shots on goal - way more than that, actually, but neither team getting a halfway decent chance after all. Then there was the northern derby, also confirming what we expected. Fittingly the first game to be played in subzero conditions, Quinn scored early and in true Straudum fashion, they didn't really try after that. Get the 1-0 lead and get it early, then sit back and enjoy. You know what they're doing and you still can't stop it. Maethoru SC lost in this highly entertaining round, to Tanques AOE!

MD18 Gehrenna FC - we haven't had a good look at them so far - got a point off Advance Alara with yLonnhas scoring the fastest goal of the season and a top 10 fastest goal in Top League history. The Other Capital team have such a fun team but with awful depth they're prone to giving up leads late - as Okawa showed - and should they stay up another year, it feels like this is the moment to invest in depth and truly become a mainstay at the highest level like WSR has turned into. We wonder why it took them so long: usually clubs, after surviving one season at the highest level, build a completely new squad in 1-2 years to stay up for longer. However, so far only Gehrenna and WSR can be called successful multi-year ex-2nd divisioners - the other 10 clubs all played in the Top League before the promotion/relegation era. Yes, the Ko-orenite club situation is deep, but it's also still quite tiered.

MD19 Three first half goals, including two by Number, continue Miradela's great campaign. That rebuild really came together more quickly than expected, and at this point they're making the top six with ease. At this point only Maethoru SC and Straudum VV are sure of a top six finish, with Miradela GD in third but not mathematically in yet, and good chances for Aminey CS and WSR AFC - but lose out and you're definitely not going. That sixth spot is completely open and we've got a few suitors: two clubs that, given the stature of their club, should make it: Katashi-Kanatsu and Schemerdrecht SVV. One club that should make it on results - and because they're making the Top League a more fun place: Advance Alara. Two clubs that could go there given (mostly) good results and because they fill a niche in the landscape of styles of the league: Gehrenna FC and Tanques AOE. However, there's only one place between them. Gehrenna FC loses the capital derby 2-0 in Maethoru (Maethoru scoring two early goals pre-empting what other clubs do to hurt them), while Schemerdrecht SVV gets a necessary point at Aminey - who aren't enjoying their home games for most of the season. Katashi-Kanatsu all but knock out Tanques AOE with a 2-1 win including a Tesuna'e goal - a player who doesn't get enough praises in the eastern capital.

MD20 WSR AFC pretty much punch their ticket in the most entertaining match of the week. Jack scores three on the day - that qualifies as a bona fide hattrick out here - only broken up by one Number goal, who is equally on form for Miradela, in a match that had Miradela get the best chances but WSR absolutely clinical in finishing theirs. Sydberg Olympia get three points in their relegation escape - but so do fellow relegation candidates Branvon CD, versus Maethoru SC no less, by scoring two goals just before halftime. Katashi-Kanatsu all but knock out Gehrenna FC for the top six with a 2-0 win in Kautherlugin Field in a match that was remarkably equal. Schemerdrecht SVV can't match the easterners with a 1-1 of their own.

MD21 Gehrenna FC is definitely not going to the top six with a third straight loss, this time at home (again) to Tanques AOE, who already were knocked out themselves. In fact, the three points barely have them keep up with the team in 11th, for it's really not Tanques' year. Branvon CD get another win and they might escape relegation again, they've stared it in the face for years but always managed to get out just in time. Schemerdrecht SVV are also out for the top six with their loss at Maethoru's Rikalathen Arena, a game that shouldn't be so close but only Entatingun found the net on a day when Aoriene, Joljaurinden, and Monshouwer all had efficiency issues. Advance Alara stay ahead of Katashi with the latter's loss and the former's 3-3 draw, that read 1-2 after 20 minutes and six goals in total make this pretty much the highest scoring game so far. Until...

MD 22 ... a few days later, when Tanques would go on to score 3 in a loss to Miradela GD's 4. Five different scorers for seven goals, with three goals in the final 10 minutes to go from 2-2 to 3-4 and Forward scoring the decider with two minutes on the clock. Advance Alara are lucky their ticket is safe with a loss to WSR AFC who only increase their chances for the CL more, while Katashi-Kanatsu win in vain, only going up to seventh with the win. Branvon CD win again - getting them from a horrible 12th place and well behind 11th to a 10th place.

And so we have two clear title candidates - Maethoru SC and Straudum VV. All remaining top six clubs have a shot at the CL. Katashi-Kanatsu and Schemerdrecht SVV are looking decent in the VCI race, while the bottom four are all relegation candidates, with 12th place relegating outright and 11th place playing a playoff.

Two thirds on the way there, two clubs are well ahead in their promotion race. Arboren FC have been in the Top League before and hoping to go again, while Katashi Azula come out of nowhere - remember, they were in the third division last year - to do a reverse Maynard by maybe promoting twice in a row. Maynard AFC themselves are in fifth and still relatively in the race, with Amandine AdF - another club with a meteoric rise over the last few years - and Castelo e Calvente CS, 2nd division regulars and probably a 'bigger' club than some Top League teams, ahead of them. Bruncester United AFC is sitting in a modest 7th, with pre-season darlings Sterrenwolde FC in 8th, the well-crafted and defensive roster of SC Sokrona in 9th, 'always-good' Couziers-Olympiques in 10th (!) and that leaves us with the clubs battling relegation: Teragaseki and Cirelbourne Townside. For years, Cirelbourne - the city - had two clubs high up, but it seems their luck is running out fast. Teragaseki is the last club of an era of surprisingly good play from the east - remember Fukushira Guerilla - and there's not much left of that (outside of Katashi Azula).

So will we see a second city derby in the Top League (Miradela GD and Branvon CD are both in Santa Teresa, Katashi-Kanatsu already is in Katashi)? Will Arboren FC make a case for northern football and create a new rivalry for Straudum VV? Or will Amandine AdF sneak in as the unlikeliest of clubs, creating a rivalry for Tanques AOE, provided the latter stay up?

Now for some names of overperforming players so far: LS Heizo Izuvala for Katashi Azula (top scorer so far), AM Teobhwch yTawdnhawch of Maynard AFC (described as 'washed' but instrumental in making Maynard the joint highest scoring team), RF Zaccheus Griswold of Bruncester United AFC and their fearsome defence, LB Odde Aandal and LF Karl Brakke of Arboren FC (incredible defence). Looking at the rosters on paper, Sterrenwolde's squad is far and away the best, with Maynard AFC and Arboren FC up there as well. Differences between teams in the Second Division are fairly small, but it's still interesting two see two out of three in the mid-table madness with Sterrenwolde not even close to where they should be.

The best way forward is to win the division, because second placers must survive two rounds of playoffs to go up. The South has a few clubs up there, with Leeshire United trying for a second stint at the second level, Coloruna hoping to establish itself as the fourth club of Finisterre (behind Miradela, Branvon, and Castelo). Cerryrhos is a new name this high up the third division but it's fun to see southwestern football get a bonus for a change. Cresthill was kind of the big name going into the season, and they're still not out, but a production of a measly 17 goals isn't it. Odahayashi are also contenders but might have to set their expectations a little lower. Some huge clubs are in danger of relegation (bottom 4): Grainshire United, Cirelbourne United (!!), Ambergate City, and Burnet Athletic. How are a few of those clubs going down again??

The North isn't settled yet, but a group of four clubs will probably figure out which two can go anywhere. Egevea Aindauka has been knocking on the door of the second tier for a while, and Fukushira Guerilla were there not too long ago. Laringen Almoedskapers is a new name here, but after years of good leadership is completely normal to see them here. Strongfair has the same thing as Cerryrhos: fun to see a club from the southwest (well, relative southwest) do well. Huthwich Et Iduloren FC is one of the biggest clubs of Ko-oren - how are they going down?? With a few smaller teams in their area. April Bassin FC and Grimhof VV that low is a surprise, but weirder things happen week in, week out at this tier.

Soothill have got division A under control, with Mawrystwyth not going anywhere for another year - it's getting tedious. Limecroft Et Abyss FC seem stuck in 4th - much like Huthwich: how?? but props to Oai to look this good. No big names in division C. Division D is full of semi-pro heroes, and the division is more open than any, with nine (!) contenders. Division E is an even bigger lock than division A. Division F has two clubs, with Sauzjaregaun potentially joining Sathtonoru and Senoren to make the North a little more capital-heavy.

MD23 No goals between the top two, one goal each for the teams in 5th and 6th... and eight goals shared between the clubs in the middle. Michaux, nearly invisible at times in other games, comes through with a hattrick (40', 69', 71') after an early Miradela GD lead. It's 1-3 for the Blues at one point, it's 3-3 a few minutes later, before Michaux adds the last two goals of the 'trick. Despite letting in three goals, centreback Finisterrais is rewarded with the MOTM - three assists from his position was a pretty good performance.

MD24 Maethoru SC have a hell of a lead that is cut into with Straudum VV's win in Alara - a rare moment where Straudum not only allows two goals, but scores three. Aminey CS are doing a little bit to get back into the CL conversation, through an extra time Aeganora goal. Oddkellsson was dominant all match, and assuming Aminey do finish third, a good amount of the Cote Australiens' points are his.

MD25 Maethoru SC win the national derby, not exactly the tamest match you could have with three red cards. Maethoru are deadly on set pieces and get a seemingly easy win, but emotions run high as Holdaway nearly loses control of the match. Meanwhile, Miradela GD and Advance Alara share 6 goals with the Santa Teresans winning by scoring the final three goals of the match, taking it from 1-2 to 4-2, Number scoring two. Straudum VV give away an embarrassing own goal in extra time and lose, which really hurts their chances. They already needed everything to get a title, and Maethoru do seem to run away with it now.

MD26 Miradela GD's good vibes come to an end now they finally suffer a defeat at the hands of Straudum VV and Moore's brace. Quinn gets one assist, Parsons the other, and Parsons crosses to Sawyer to get all four goals out of the way before the half hour mark, so that the Straudum crowd can enjoy some good, no-goals football for the next hour. Two draws feature the rest of the weekend.

Sydberg Olympia have a little leeway, and tying Branvon isn't a big deal: they're also down there. The Katashi-Kanatsu versus Schemerdrecht SVV match is just one with fun football and good vibes as both teams are safe and while both are trying to get to the VCI, both have already missed their top six targets anyway. Tanques AOE try to gain some safety with their win while Gehrenna FC are trying to hold on to their decent finish after 22 MDs. Very few goals with most teams playing extremely cautiously. A mistake here will end contracts for players, coaches, other staff, and might have even bigger consequences a year down the line.

MD24 Sydberg Olympia are rushed by Katashi and end up taking a 1-2 lead, but keep attacking while Katashi even the score on a counterattack. Naive play from a team that has shown to belong at the highest level - will they stay up? Ten draws won't cut it here. Tanques AOE crawl to relatively safety with three points - six points in the first two games has all but erased their 12th place after 22 matchdays. They're already in a better spot than Branvon and Sydberg right now. Branvon CD have won though, so the situation among the bottom four remains tense.

High tempo, good chances, good vision and positioning, and a solid defensive gameplan for both. Gehrenna FC deservedly get the late equaliser.

MD26 Well, there it is. The biggest ever win/loss in Top League history. And it comes at a time where Tanques AOE had an awful time before Spring, dropped to 12th, but is now making it very clear they have NO business in the Second Division - but Branvon CD could certainly go there. It took a long time for scoring to get under way, with Branvon CD even getting some chances, but the 1-0 changed everything. Deslys finishes a low cross in from Bernier with the both of them bearing down on a goalkeeper and a single, badly positioned defender. Bernier doubles the score a few minutes later on a counterattack where Branvon were immediately looking for the equaliser. A huge error off the kickoff provided Lyford with the 3-0... and at that point the resolve had gone and a total of six different players would find the net. After the break it continued: Walbuck from distance, Dadson on a solo mission, Bernier again, Toussaint from close range, and lastly Deslys bookending the match. Historical, this.

MD27 Tanques AOE go a perfect 5 wins from 5 games early in the Relegation Group - getting them from 12th to pretty much safe. Deslys opens the score again, Toussaint confirms it. Sydberg Olympia are the losers of the round as Branvon CD's tie makes them the only team in peril to not get a point. Gehrenna FC get the three points there and that might also just get them to safety for the time being.

Katashi Azula pulls ahead! The surprising force from the east overtook all conventional powers in Arboren FC, Maynard AFC, Castelo e Calvente CS, Sterrenwolde FC, Bruncester United AFC, Teragaseki, and Couziers-Olympiques - but all of them just looked at it and let it happen. Arboren FC are on course to the playoffs, and we have three more clubs with a shot at that: Maynard AFC could finally go back up to the Top League after adventures in the second and third tiers, Amandine AdF have kept up with the top couple clubs after all, and Castelo e Calvente CS are in if they can fix their goal difference a bit. Cirelbourne Townside, Teragaseki, and Couziers-Olympiques will probably relegate or play relegation playoffs - the six point gap is just too much with six games left. Weirder things have happened, but it's hard to imagine now.

Promotion or not, some players will likely join a Top League club next season, like Abel Wigram of Bruncester United AFC, Lisel Aorei of Castelo e Calvente CS, and up to two dozen more players. The level of the Second Division has gone up and up with better IFCF finishes by the Top League. Not only do we have about 5-6 very solid clubs here, but the remaining 6-7 are also quite good, and the 5-6 solid ones would really not feel out of place in a 20-team Top League at all.

The South has some point gaps at the top but realistic chances for all clubs doen to fifth place. Coloruna and Cresthill have gone up to be the most likely candidates - so the stereotypical football wins again. Cirelbourne United's demise might really be upon us - for more on the trainwreck at the bottom of the third South, see the writeup after 22 games. The North still has Egevea, with a slight chance for Fukushira and Strongfair. It's hard to dislike any of those clubs.

A fun race in D, a complete mess in C, a very overpowered Soothill in A, four teams tied in B, and two more normal races in E and F. What's not to love about the Ko-orenite Fourth tier.

MD28 Plenty of goals in Alara, not so much in Aminey, and meanwhile we've got the top two teams squaring off in Straudum. A big weekend, but it's Maethoru SC as the only team to grab three points and that all but confirms what we knew after 22 games. Despite the spectacle, particularly in Alara but skill-wise in Straudum, only one team will feel like it gained something.

MD29 That's Miradela GD's hopes for the CL dashed for this week, as they give up an easy own goal to Maethoru and spend the rest of the day chasing that error. Joljaurinden doubles the lead not much later and the Santa Teresans are out of it. Straudum VV gifts Maethoru SC the title with a 1-3 home loss - the northerners don't give up this many goals very often. Okawa and Lignanier get the score to 0-2 before we're well and truly under way. Aminey CS gain a point on Miradela and Straudum in the three-team battle for the two remaining CL spots.

MD30 Advance Alara destroy Miradela GD - it's clear that Alara don't play like Alara until there's not much at stake anymore. But boy is it fun. More Okawa goals to pad the stats, too. Maethoru SC beat Aminey CS in the national rivalry with Monshouwer scoring the final goal before half time, though Oddkellsson really looked like the kind of midfielder Aminey lacked for a few years - they'll be up there next season. Michaux doesn't seem like the correct kind of addition, they've gotten better play out of Mirzadeh and Lavigne. Straudum VV drop behind in the race for second and third.

MD31 Aminey CS gets out their frustration by scoring six in the Alara game! One of them was an own goal, granted. Five different players on the scoresheet with three goals scored by defenders! With a sixth player appearing as the MOTM - if you don't like this, you don't like Ko-orenite football. Maethoru SC get suck on WSR AFC after maybe a celebration that went on too long into the night(s). Miradela GD and Straudum VV balance each other out - that battle will be settled on MD32.

MD32 Straudum VV have the power to kick Aminey CS to fourth place to allow Miradela GD to sneak into third... and they don't! So with Straudum VV already having the lead in second place and Maethoru sure of the title - that's Aminey CS finishing third, and Miradela GD after a redemption year and then some, still only finishing in fourth. That leaves the other two to also go to the CC - WSR AFC with a poor loss to round out the campaign in fifth and Advance Alara, despite the win over the capital club, in sixth.

MD28 There we go. With Tanques AOE nearly safe due to their 5-0-0 record so far, it's up to Sydberg Olympia and Branvon CD to decide who relegates, with a slight chance at Schemerdrecht SVV going down. The other two clubs, looking sure of a VCI race, now have Tanques AOE to worry about... and Gehrenna FC do in fact give away three points to the south Cote Austral team on a late own goal. Then there's a 2-2 draw and a 4-4 draw... who said the Top League doesn't have enough scoring?

MD29 The last match of the weekend painfully highlights the difference between the first 22 matchdays and the final 10. Tanques AOE come into the north and leave with three points and a boost to their GD as the Étouille team score three before halftime. Gehrenna FC get a win to put them in no man's land: too good to relegate, not good enough for the VCI.

MD30 Agano secures the win for Branvon CD by letting his teammates score twice after the break to turn a deficit into a lead. It's a late one, but all that matters is the scoreline after the whistle. Tanques AOE can't stop winning. They had 5 wins in the first stage and nearly have double that in the final 10 MDs...

MD31 Sydberg Olympia help themselves so much with the half time goal, Twickaway making sure that they can still go to the playoffs. Gehrenna FC get a good win, Maethoru-esque even, grabbing Katashi by the throat and not letting go. Tanques AOE get another win...

MD32 Oh no! Tanques AOE were so close to a 10-0-0 after a historically bad first 22 MDs. Nineteen points for them in the first twenty-two games... 28 points in the last 10. What a turnaround. And deserved - they overtake five clubs to go into the VCI. A disasterclass of a game between Schemerdrecht SVV and Branvon CD (two own goals) decides that the former are fine in 10th and the latter are in danger in 11th - that's the playoffs. Sydberg Olympia fall behind Gehrenna FC early on and can't recover - so they're out. Still, if you want 90 of nervously bad football: that Schemerdrecht-Branvon game was something else.

Lignanier won the two horse race for top scorer! Him and Monshouwer were on the best attacking teams and as relative rarities at their position, obviously they would pick up a lot of goals. Number's insane contribution to Miradela doesn't go unnoticed either. Ulloa did all he could to help Branvon CD but here we are. Walbuck, Aoriene, and Askari are the only non-forwards to show up. Do mind that the second strikers probably have a more playmaking role than in most countries, so arguably Bonstirthinden, Joljaurinden, Okawa, Deckere should also be in this category. Deslys got going late, while it feels like Archer scored way more than the 10 he got credit for.

Up from two hattricks last year, we have four this year. Monshouwer was involved heavily in both Maethoru shootouts and gets his goals here, accounting for six of his total of 20. Jack and Michaux - the latter of dubious quality but he's here nonetheless - also got a hattrick.

Arguably the best player of the year is Aelea of Branvon CD... an odd choice at first but when you realise that he's played every Branvon game and was often the only to play halfway decently, his odds at getting a MOTM go up drastically. Parsons was dominant in Straudum VV's midfield as a dogfighter and playmaker, Tomlinson has been solid as always. An odd name to not show up is Oddkellsson, who played very well on the Aminey midfield but couldn't always dominate in his first year in the league - that, and Aminey wasn't as dominant as advertised to begin with. Furuya, Zalmaulthindhen, and yLonnhas are some underrated names - as the MOTM committee likes to go for surprising names with great days rather than the stars who we know will be good anyway. That explains Oddkellsson as well - as well as a host of other Aminey and Maethoru players. Ó Madaidhín does show up in his first year - Aminey CS just is that stacked in big names. Joljaurinden, Okawa, and Aoriene were probably the best attacking architects and show up accordingly.

As would surprise nobody, Straudum VV pick up the most clean sheets. Perhaps an underrated defence is that of Gehrenna FC, who rival their bigger Capital city foes in Maethoru SC for second place. We have noticed a lot of 0-0 scores for Gehrenna - doesn't get you points, but it does get you on here. WSR AFC's solid foundations help them to fourth place. Branvon CD's attacking plans get them to dead last, as even Advance Alara ('attack first, defend never') pick up 10 clean sheets in 32.

Katashi Azula are up - they create the second city derby as we get a third overall Eastern club! Amandine AdF, another 'small' club at the second level, defeats the rest and goes to the playoffs. The big teams, Maynard AFC, Arboren FC, Castelo e Calvente CS, Bruncester United AFC, Teragaseki, Sterrenwolde FC, and Couziers-Olympiques all can't do it. In fact, Couziers-Olympiques are going down to the third tier - talk about a team that's out of place at that level - and so will Cirelbourne Townside. After a promising start, we will have both Cirelbourne teams in the third tier or worse. Wow. Teragaseki survives, Sterrenwolde FC will have to prove their worth in the postseason.

We're getting a new club at the second level! Coloruna de Paraiso have never been that high, but it's well deserved even if it leaves clubs like Cresthill United FC behind. Only so many can win, after all... And in the fray at the bottom of the South, it's Grainshire United, Belmore FC, and Burnet Athletic going down. That leaves Ambergate City safe as the sole representative of Burnet Island, and Leeshire United also stays up. Cirelbourne United might become the first team from the old boys' club to experience fourth division football - expect all eyes on them over the course of the playoffs. In the North, we get Fukushira back, with Strongfair getting a first taste of the playoffs. Egevea completely disintegrates to the point of finishing outside of the playoffs - that'll haunt them. Grimhof VV are somewhat safe, April Bassin FC do stay safe, but we do lose Huthwich to the randomness of the fourth tier. Senoren and Sathtonoru join them. It's a bad year for clubs around the Capitals, then.

As expected, Soothill and Linieux promote! Linieux do it with only a three-point cushion in the end - they really fell off. Zinchester edges out Oai, Motojagava is lucky that Yonenomura, after winter their biggest rival for first, drops to fifth. The mess in D is eventually handsomely won by Rozenvoorde with Serevne getting a deserved shot at the playoffs, with nearly every club still in it with just a month to go. Tarrashall escapes F, with the big three of that division stuck in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

The unpredictability continues! With the rate at which players come in and leave, the academies are just a little less stable than the universities, but it's not a huge difference. Alara wins the East/northeast, Mayara wins the North/northwest, Academica Ferroventense claims - again - the South, and Grainshire wins the West, which so far seems the strongest of the four divisions. Sterrenwolde continues to be a force in the Universities, with Cote Austral and Surbourneshire Technical getting a rare good year.

The disappointing big teams, Katashi-Kanatsu and Schemerdrecht SVV, both excel in the Casaran cup format, and advance together with WSR AFC - always the upset risk - as well as Maethoru SC (how could they not qualify). Gehrenna FC are also there, on their brand of functional football. The other big functional defensive team are... somehow last: Straudum VV. Looks like they concentrated exclusively on the league - the only team to lose all five cup meetings. Not sure how. The other Top League team to go to the quarterfinals are Sydberg Olympia, and Second Division teams Couziers-Olympiques and Vierciennes Victory. With Sydberg and Vierciennes, we surely have two teams who, three years ago, never expected to go there or even participate in the cup that's only open to the top two layers of the Ko-orenite pyramid.

MD5 blessed us with not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 rivalries and derbies!

Quarterfinals
Katashi-Kanatsu (1) 5–2 Sydberg Olympia (1)
WSR AFC (1) 5–1 Vierciennes Victory (2)
Schemerdrecht SVV (1) 1–0 Couziers-Olympiques (2)
Maethoru SC (1) 2–0 Gehrenna FC (1)

Huge wins for the teams in first and second on the table. Katashi's attacking football is rewarded with five goals. Maethoru SC win the Capital Derby.

Semifinals
Katashi-Kanatsu (1) 2–5 WSR AFC (1)
Schemerdrecht SVV (1) 0–1 Maethoru SC (1)

WSR AFC score five goals again to make the final. Maethoru SC does Maethoru things.

Finals
WSR AFC (1) 0–0 Maethoru SC (1) (2–2 AET) (6–5 pen.)

WSR AFC don't score - until extra time - and we get 4 goals in rapid succession in the added 30 minutes. The penalty series goes well beyond the first five - but WSR AFC get the win!
