Official II. Preseason Power Rankings

18-1
1. Bzzz FC - Finished 2nd to DOUK in last season's 18-1, this will be a team to be reckoned with. Just needs to be able to survive an injury to one of its strikers.
2. AC Jacksonville - Quite possibly the strongest team in the conference. The question is, will the team manage to break away from its reputation of >Mets of sp League.
3. Aussie Basements - Won >shaw season 2. Could use help in defense, but goalkeeper is class.
4. Oh The Lulz - Good attack, good goalkeeping, and good midfield. Defense could use some help, however.
5. Earth Federation - Shadow of its former self. Without Fsan, the team is in disarray. The team is still quality, but its results will depend on the manager's activity.
6. SoCal SV/bankees - New managers. Unpredictable.

9001. Panama Fudge Tunas - Will be in the bottom until PFT manager comes back. Great team, but riddled with injuries.


>shaw
1. DOUK City FC - The class of the division, DOUK finished 1st in 18-1 the previous season, but has to be able to battle through early-season injuries.
2. Trollingham Town - Strong team. 2 great young strikers, versatile midfield, okay defense. Goalkeeping slightly above average.
3. The Good Game Kids - Slightly weak team. Needs help on midfield and attack, but experience could be key to promotion.
4. Widdly Scuds - Great, young attack, above average midfield, serviceable defense.
5. BRETTFAVRES - One of the better, more balanced teams, but the manager is new to the league. Could be a dark horse promotee.
6. Sancho WTF - Weak attack, but has a solid defense.
7. Handegg FC - Young, talented striker, and a solid midfieler, and serviceable defense.
8. Durperdean FC - New manager, probably destined for relegation.

As Panama Fudge Tunas and DOUK City duke it out for the top spot, the race for the third and final promotion spot heats up. With three teams outside the promotion zone still realistically in the hunt, it'll come down to the wire. Similar to BZZZZZZZ, the three relegation spots are more or less accounted for, so there's plenty for complacency in the middle of the pack.

Panama Fudge Tunas (1st, 46pts, +27) slipped back into first place after beating Vikingstad FC (11th, 8pts, -39) 2-0 thanks to two second half goals. The margin of error is quite slim, however, as they're only 2 points clear in first and 10 points from fourth. DOUK City FC (2nd, 44pts, +31) had a bye. Rounding out the top three is Bzzz AFC (3rd, 41pts, +35), who edged out Widdly Scuds (5th, 36pts, +12) 3-2 thanks to an 80th minute goal and a missed penalty. However, they're the only team in the promotion zone that has played 20 games.

Thanks to Widdly Scud's loss, coupled with a 2-1 victory over Sancho WTF (9th, 21pts, -4), AC Jacksonville (4th, 36pts, +26) was able to climb into 4th place. Still, the pressure is on after last season's collapse, and things aren't made any easier as they're only 2 points ahead of Trollingham Town (6th, 34pts, +19), who trounced Handegg FC (10th, 19pts, -22) 4-0. The window is rapidly closing on Oh The Lulz (7th, 32pts, +9), who edged out Mudgeeraba FC (13th, 6pts, -53) 1-0 away from home to stay in the promotion race. Having played 20 games, they only have 12 points left to play for and at best can place only 3rd.

At the bottom half of the table Laid-Off Autoworkers (8th, 27pts, -10) won a tight affair 1-0 over Complete Fuckups (12th, 7pts, -31) to secure their spot in 18-1 next season. Vikingstad FC, Complete Fuckups, and Mudgeeraba FC can collect (at best) 20, 22, and 21 points so there is a slight chances that Sancho WTF and Handegg FC can be relegated yet.
