Here are the stats and breakdown of the individual teams for this seasons campaign, the very best of luck to all my competitors.
AJAX
Squad size - 17
Squad ave main skill - 23.64
Gk's ave skill - 26
Df's ave skill - 22.5
Mf's ave skill - 23.66
Fw's ave skill - 24.33
Squad ave age - 26
Best 11 (442 main skill) 24.72
Top Players - Nelisse, Rideoutski Lindenbergh and Huntelaar
Top Prospects - Sneijder, Nelisse and Crujff
Many top players in this Ajax team and a good blend of youth, a definate favourite to go up and an underestimated team to watch out for.
Predicted finish - 1st
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CELTIC
Squad size - 21
Squad ave main skill - 22.65
Gk's ave skill - 29
Df's ave skill - 22.71
Mf's ave skill - 21.25
Fw's ave skill - 22
Squad ave age - 27.19
Best 11 (442 main skill) 23.72
Top Players - Moore, Miller and Jianshan
Top Prospect - Mizuno
A decent Celtic team and a fairly good starting 11, but overall quality may see them finish in the bottom 4 , midfield needs improvement.
Predicted finish - 6th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REAL MADRID
Squad size - 17
Squad ave main skill - 23.47
Gk's ave skill - 27.5
Df's ave skill - 23
Mf's ave skill - 22
Fw's ave skill - 23.66
Squad ave age - 23.94
Best 11 (442 main skill) 24.27
Top Players - Martinez and Gavilán
Top Prospects - Charlton and Saddam_H
Real Madrid have a young and willing team who are match for anyone in division 1, but the midfield lacks a little depth, on paper are a top 3 favourite for the title.
Predicted Finish - 2nd
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALENCIA
Squad size - 17
Squad ave main skill - 22.76
Gk's ave skill - 28
Df's ave skill - 22
Mf's ave skill - 21.83
Fw's ave skill - 22.66
Squad ave age - 21.25 ! (without Anichebe)
Best 11 (442 main skill) 23.63
Top Players - Lloris, Schulz
Top Prospects - Lloris, Krohn_Dehli
Valencia are an exciting young team who on paper look good, but in my opinion are not quite ready, Andie has put the real hard work in with this team and in 5 or 6 seasons will reap the benefits, mark my words this team will dominate in the future, too soon this season for Valencia though, good team on paper but no better than 4th place i would imagine.
Predicted finish - 5th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIVERPOOL
Squad size - 20
Squad ave main skill - 21.75
Gk's ave skill - 24
Df's ave skill - 21.57
Mf's ave skill - 21.25
Fw's ave skill - 22
Squad ave age - 28
Best 11 (442 main skill) 22.81
Top Players - Stankovic and Neilson
Top Prospects - Bagsy and Papakioli_Diop
Malkys Liverpool have their work cut out this season, and are hot prospects to finish rock bottom, i think one or 2 players are still needed for Liverpool to claw 3rd bottom or a relegation play off place, but Malky could get the tactics in place to provide a miracle act and nick points along the way, team not good enough at the moment though in my eyes.
Predicted Finish - 8th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EVERTON
Squad size - 16
Squad ave main skill - 22.5
Gk's ave skill - 27
Df's ave skill - 21.33
Mf's ave skill - 22.6
Fw's ave skill - 21.66
Squad ave age - 28
Best 11 (442 main skill) 23.18
Top Players - N_Zogbia and Turner
Top Prospects - Talamonti, Roberts, Fabinhioski and Vasquez
Everton like Liverpool will struggle, they can field a slightly stronger starting 11 and may punch above their weight, but stats wise it looks ominous for the toffee men.
Predicted Finish - 7th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MARSEILLE
Squad size - 17
Squad ave main skill - 22.52
Gk's ave skill - 24
Df's ave skill - 22
Mf's ave skill - 22.16
Fw's ave skill - 23.33
Squad ave age - 25.47
Best 11 (442 main skill) 23.90
Top Players - Reyes and Trezeguet
Top Prospects - Higuita , Yeboah, Thomas and Zidane
Marseille are another exciting team who have performed admirably, they can field a very decent team and should have high expectations this season, many young players who will bring this team on in the future, again too soon for Marseille.
Predicted finish - 4th
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RANGERS
Squad size - 18
Squad ave main skill - 23.55
Gk's ave skill - 30.5
Df's ave skill - 22.83
Mf's ave skill - 23.83
Fw's ave skill - 22.25
Squad ave age - 30.16 !
Best 11 (442 main skill) 24.90
Top Players - Dudek, Ferguson, Phelan and Mertesacker
Top Prospects - Munian and Dillon
On paper Rangers can field the strongest team and should be title favourites based on that, but this team does have weaknesses that are glaringly obvious and may struggle for goals against the stronger teams in division 1, this is an ageing team, there are a few players ready to step up but not quite ready, Rangers could spend 1 or 2 seasons languishing in this division.
Predicted finish - 3rd
