Okay, i was going to do a bit tonight on the Elite Cup 2nd round but instead i think we'll have a look at how things are shaping up after the first 6 games of FL1 Season 56 where the top 4 are separated by a mere point and right now at the bottom are Marvs Old Fullerians, a team very much not used to being bottom of the pile. That's just the standard at the pinnacle of this game, even conference champions will find it tough! But it's still early days
Floriana FCWe've all experienced the wrath of Spiteris Army this past few seasons and still the strongest team statistically, however we all know that doesn't last forever in this game - i count at least 7 players in their last season... perhaps winning this could be Antony's Swan Song for now but it's gonna be anything but easy! So far only dropping 2 points with a draw against Marv (see?) hes in the top spot.
DonkaLonk FcSince his return Jons had a mixed bag of seasons but now his team are starting to max hes finding that groove and getting a lot more consistency out of them. The only points hes dropped so far is also a draw yesterday with Angel Rrrrs. He even beat last seasons FL1 champs The Flashhearts
So this team is definitely looking a strong favourite to be in the top 3 when the dust settles.
Floriana and DonkaLonk are the only two teams remaining unbeaten at this juncture... In third spot we have...
Super ImpsLeading the pack up until today after a defeat at the hands of Mihais UNIV. CRAIOVA is the ever ready Super Imps. Dominating 1-1-1 for countless seasons until my Flashhearts threw a spanner in the works he only really underperformed in the conference last season, he still made it into the top 3 of FL1. In actual fact, in the last 10 seasons he has only failed to make it into the top 3 once!!! A scary statistic. Obviously Rich has his team rotation and staggering his player purchasing down to a fine art, but then again, what would you expect from the most decorated manager in the game.
The FlashheartsIn 4th spot with the same points as Rich and only 1 point behind Antony and Jon is my lot. After losing 1-0 to Jon i did quite a lot of shouting in mirrors and at schoolkids... i also hit the drink quite hard... coupled with ASDA selling litres of Captain Morgans for £15 i just barely regained consciousness in time to set up for my next matches. Apart from the blip against the Donks i think i've handled the season so far pretty well, i'll get them back next time round
We'll give it another few games and look at how some of the other big names are doing, its been a great competition so far!
Also a big thankyou to those posting and keeping this thread alive and around the top, it all helps!
