Teams of the Garbelery Football Association Premier League:

Norvis FC
Nickname: 'The Hornets'
Home Stadium: The Hive (Capacity 39,000)
Previous league placing: Champions
Total squad value: 290k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Gero Tisza (+2 style)
Usual formation: 4-2-3-1

Norvis FC are the powerhouses of modern Garbelery football, having won the title in consecutive seasons. The team is packed with quality, from international keeper Ottery Otterface (Valuation 19k €G) to AMC Ottoerson (Valuation 27k €G), who bosses the league's strongest defences. Norvis are known as the 'Floating City', and their stadium stays true to that description. The hive is situated on an island in the centre of Norvis, with yellow, black and red hexagons making up its structure. The pitch is equipped with the latest technologies, including a retractable roof for poor weather that transforms the stadium into an indoor space.

Star Player:
Arthur Goodotter (Valuation 40k €G) is undoubtedly one of the Garbelery Premier Leagues strongest players. A CF who scores goals for fun against Garbelia's best players, and is well-known on the international stage as well.

Garvida Revolutionaries
Nickname: 'The Rebels'
Home Stadium: The People's Stadium (Capacity 25,000)
Previous league placing: 2nd
Total squad value: 270k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Otter McOttery (+5 style)
Usual formation: 3-2-1-4

Not many teams can pull off 3 at the back, 2 midfielders, a support striker and 4 forwards, but coupled with an ultra-attacking style, the Revolutionaries can. Led by former national team manager McOttery, they ooze style, with Lonivan Blisset (Valuation 25k €G) as one of two holding midfielders, McOtterson (Valuation 21k €G) on the wing, to smash thunderbolts past opposing keepers and recent international breakthrough star Ote Vydra (Valuation 21k €G) to volley chipped passes home. The People's Stadium is not an easy place to play passing football, but they manage fluid attack built from short chipped passes that overload defences.

Star Player:
Opspore Kawauso (Valuation 69k €G) in a free playmaking role is a handful, especially when she is playing just behind a front 4. She is the complete AMC/winger, who perfectly suits the Rebel's style of all-out attack.

Garvida Rovers
Nickname: 'The Rovers'
Home Stadium: Occupation Road (Capacity 39,000)
Previous league placing: 3rd
Total squad value: 125k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Renata Hummel (-5 style)
Usual formation: 5-4-1

Garvida Rovers are a presence that most teams in the GFAPL take for granted: they have seemed to be a mid-table defensive side for decades, never winning a title or getting relegated. Renata Hummel came to the club 3 years ago, and began making ambitious signings. Although they still play defensively, they now hold players with more threat on the counter-attack, turning 0-0 draws into 1-0 wins. The results have finally started coming, as they achieved an above-average 3rd last season. At the back, Johnson (Valuation 21k €G), Ludovitch (Valuation 4k €G) and Muto (Valuation 12k €G), all international defenders, keep an extremely tight ship as part of a back 5, and the team rely heavily on Lefiné Avianuin (Valuation 9k €G) to put the ball into the box.

Star Player:
Vytri Holt (Valuation 17k €G) is widely agreed to deserve an international call-up, as she is excellent at hitting teams on the break alongside Avianuin. Unfortunately, she can't seem to get a run of goals together, so her brilliance is partly wasted. Experts seem to think she would do better with a strike partner, but Hummel believes in her ability as a lone striker.

Garvernord United
Nickname: 'The Mariners'
Home Stadium: Capital Park (Capacity 15,000)
Previous league placing: 4th
Total squad value: 180k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Lutra Scratchington (+2 style)
Usual formation: 4-3-3

Garvernord were only promoted 3 years ago, but they finished second in the league and soon established a position as a top-half team under the steady guidance of Lutra Scratchington. Watch out for the young Vyi Otaa (Valuation 11k €G) in midfield, Van Bokhoven (Valuation 24k €G) up front and the Watanabe sisters (Valuations 17k and 20k €G) forming the rest of the midfield. They are strongest in the middle of the park, but their attack is not awful either.

Star Player:
Steoarian Barnes (Valuation 34k €G) is excellent in a 'False 9' role, taking the defender out of position then slipping a pass to Van Bokhoven. They were brilliant in their first season in the top flight, and haven't looked back since.

Otter City
Nickname: 'The Otters'
Home Stadium: The Holt (Capacity 33,000)
Previous league placing: 5th
Total squad value: 123k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Vydie Hlaváček (+0 style)
Usual formation: 3-4-3

It is, perhaps, fair to say that Otter City's survival rests entirely on the shoulders of Otto Otter (Valuation 54k €G). Their defence is solid, their midfield is slow, including the likes of Miaow Lutrini (Valuation 9k €G) and practically operates like a second defence, aside from Otter. McCat plays more like a fullback even when in a wingback position, so that the formation feels more like a 7-1-3. The forward line is aging, but on long and expensive contracts. They are struggling to shift 34-year-old Troy Ott (Valuation 3k €G), and the wingers are not much better. Otto Otter feels far too good for the rest of the side, but he is good enough to keep them up. As soon as the inevitable sale of their young gem occurs, the club will likely full dormant until Ott retires.

Star Player:
Otto Otter (Valuation 54k €G) is a quality midfielder, both on the ball and off, who is the team's only goal source.

Ilvik Rovers
Nickname: 'The 'I's'
Home Stadium: Stade Ilvik (Capacity 22,000)
Previous league placing: 6th
Total squad value: 165k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Ivica Otica (-3 style)
Usual formation: 4-3-2-1

Ilvik Rovers do not have any standout stars, but their strength lies in the team. They play out from the back and have their strikers make quiet runs so that teams are vulnerable to the through ball. Marge Findus (Valuation 13k €G) is excellent at this, as is Otto Otterata (Valuation 17k €G) on the other wing, providing a perfect team balance and solid long-ball tactics.

Star Player:
Konfiti Ota (Valuation 15k €G) is a defensive mid reknown for her ball progression. Although she is currently more of a rising star, there is lots of hope for her.

Dilvik Rangers
Nickname: 'The 'D's'
Home Stadium: Stade Dilvik (Capacity 19,000)
Previous league placing: Promoted
Total squad value: 140k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Livia Aquila (+2 style)
Usual formation: 3-5-2

Dilvik Rangers have a quality team, who stormed to the Division 2 championship last season. Watch out for Vid Otterra (Valuation 15k €G) at fullback, Loes Snaijer (Valuation 17k €G) in goal and L'utra Zeeotter's quality ball progression in midfield.

Star Player:
Otter McOtter (Valuation 30k €G) had his first breakthrough season last year, scoring 30 goals against a wide variety of teams. Expect him to take the opportunity to play at a higher level.

Pinner AFC
Nickname: 'The Needles'
Home Stadium: Old Road (Capacity 14,000)
Previous league placing: Promoted
Total squad value: 160k CryptoGarbels
Manager: Sjef Baar (-3 style)
Usual formation: 4-3-1-2

Pinner have an extremely defensive squad, with the experienced Otterinien (Valuation 6k €G) in goal, protected by Koenraad Kurosawa (Valuation 6k €G) at left back and young international pairing Lutra Vydra (Valuation 26k €G) and Nutria Huron (Valuation 31k €G) in the centre. Mari Katō (Valuation 6k €G) plays behind the CF, offering comfort in attack. Overall, they have an extremely well-rounded squad and are expected to do well. Steve Ottoman, the physical CF for the Garbelery international team (Valuation 30k €G) plays alongside the ever-present Mariëlle Verhoeven (Valuation 29k €G).

Star Player:
Mariëlle Verhoeven (Valuation 29k €G) is ever their main goal threat, latching onto long balls by the defence, and easily creating chances from nowhere. She links up well with Ottoman.
