It's a welcome back to Aston Villains at the expense of multiple chaampions Liverpool, and Premier FC at the expense of We Lost, triumphing in the play-offs. Both division 2 sides overcoming their division 1 opponents.

Congratulations to Notorious Gods on winning the automatic promotion spot.

Thanks Dragontao , to be honest I wasn't expecting to triumph over Liverpool, now I'm set for another uphill battle to survive, which will be very tough,

Regards

Deca

Welcome back Deca and good luck everyone. For Melchester, this season is one of consolidation, having hit the button to upgrade to TC12. No money for transfers means an aging squad will get older. At the risk of sounding like Arsene Wenger, a top four finish and European football will be good news for the club and a successful seaosn. If I'm really lucky I might get the privledge of losing to Seaburn again in the cup final. Good luck all and this league is getting stronger every season.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to put this, but congrats to Aad Mansveld for reaching the world cup final.

Thanks fixture computer. After an appalling run of form at the end of last season, Seaburn away first match. Guess who is going to bottom of the table at the end of the first round of matches.

Numpty >> vrijdag januari 29 - 11:07

Seaburn.:D

You need to instill some more confidence in your players.  ;)

Lee >> vrijdag januari 29 - 15:22

Here we go again gents - good luck (except when playing me)!

Would love to build on my 10th place finish last season but realistically I will be happy with anything above 18th.

1 objective: to ensure maintenance in division 1 as quickly as possible

Good season to all managers !

Can anyone explain the discrepancy between last season's league table and the actual European Qualifying spots?

https://rockingsoccer.com/en/soccer/league-eng.56/level-1/group-1

The league table shows 4 qualifiers, with Newcastle in European League QR1, but they have direct entry to the group stage. 

Also Les Gothiques Amiénois, who were 5th, are in the European League QR1. 

What am I missing here?

Seaburn won the champion ship and the Cup.

So : If the winner of the cup qualifies for the Champions League then the European Cup ticket is awarded to the best team in the league which did not qualify for the Champions League.

On the league table there are 4 places for European Qualifying spots

But there is 1 place for the winner of the cup, so 5 places are european

Stephen >> vrijdag januari 29 - 22:31

^^^^ This. @Blackwhite is spot on in his analysis.

Hope everyone is having a good transfer market. Another quiet one for my boys by the looks of it. Maybe something amazing will come on the market in the last few days, who knows?

A relatively rare supercup win for Seaburn sealing the final bit of silverware from season 56. (I'll never get my head around why this isn't the supercup of season 57. I understand the logic but it's just too weird...)

Numpty >> zaterdag januari 30 - 10:35

Thanks @Blackwhite. 

So with Melchester (2nd) in the Champions League they are unaffected and Newcastle (3rd) get the cup ticket for the European League group stage. 

Then your team (5th) essentially get Newcastle's place in QR1.

Blackwhite >> zondag januari 31 - 22:00

Yes  Numpty : that's right

Good luck everyone.

Not really sure how my team will go this season.

After a really poor 1st half of last season things picked up quite well in the 2nd half and a ninth place finish was not to bad after all.

This season though i will be blooding some youngsters so it really could go either way, so fingers crossed lol.

I am so sad to see Liverpool is down.....for people who played since 2013, we are getting old....
