Facts and predictions for div 1, season 17 (02/12/2006 19:21)



This all the team logos for the division 1 teams, only 1 team do not have a team logo and that is Stovner Massive. Hopefully for him that will not have any affect when his team are going out against all the other teams this season.

I have sendt a mail to every single manager in div 1 to find out about their goals for the season and who they think will end up in the top 3 section. In this post i will give out some regular facts that you all can find out about them if you bothered. I'm also gonna spoil what they all tipped for the top 3 positions. Last but not least i'm gonna try to predict how the table will look like when the season is over.
What i will not spoil to the public is what the managers goal for the season was, as I see this as "confidential" information.

As you can see i have been looking pretty good on every single team. All the info you can see up here are based on the pre-season. There might happen more transfers after I picked up all my info about the teams. Actions like that will have to become some of my predictions and therefor you might see some table predictions below that doesn't make to much sense from what I've written above.
The prediction is also made in the hopes that Krogzar, manager of Heracle Almelo change minds and do not quit playing the game.

For a little comment before the prediction i just woul like to say that this probably will be one of the closest season in history of ML. Making this prediction was really hard. There's only a couple of teams left now that have a little bit to bad team to actually compete in the division. In a couple of seasons it will probably become almost impossible to predict anything in the top division as the lower quality teams are gaining pretty fast on the big clubs.

pictureHm, nice one, Gizmo.

I do think I disagree a little with you, but thats cool :) You know this stuff better than I do anyway, as I have not been in the top division even once :) I think you are very wrong about ddude, I think they will be a little surprise this season. And never write off Benkern, he's too tough!

And I am sure you have noticed that KraKra and Media Blitz are now the top 2 teams :)

picturenice one Gizmo, I didn't only speak of stopping playing. I actually quit playing for the time being

right now only online to sell of players so when I want to return to play, I still have a team left =)

Worst part of being a div1 team is not being able to support your team w/o playing lots of friendlies and thus spending loads of credits! And as I'm poor irl, I'm not planning on spending a dime right now

pictureGreat Gizmo. I started off great with a nice 4-2 win over Skjoldar who you have placed above me ;) But I have sold two star players, and are letting two more go now...so it wil be tough, too though?, to fight for top 3 spot. But what is up with the text in this blog? It goes right away to the right..i have to scroll to the right to read...Can you fix that, gizmo???

pictureSpinner, it's hard to predict the table this season, as you can see from the avg Q from the entire team.
They're all very close except fjt running way ahead of everyone else. Only problem fjt has is that he's not a tactic magician. So he might not win this season anyway :p

I probably would disagree with myself in many of the predictions i made myself as well, but we'll see how it goes in the end anyway :) 29 more rounds to go ;)

pictureyeah, prove me wrong Mordacious. Nothing would be better. The biggest bomb atm aint you laying in second spot though, but fjt loosing 4 out of 4 matches in the beginning. I would never ever have predicted that. Neither would anyone else i guess.

pictureGizmo, after all we are talking about fjt here :p hehe....I trashed his team pretty damn easy last season when I gunned at full speed to claim the title.. ;) This season he really should grab the chance before teams like unreal betis and blackpool comes back up...But what does he do?? Goes on a 4 loss out of 4 matches?? ANd to think that he even bought one of my midfield star? oohh...well..I would loove to beat him with my re-building team. LOL
