FM SSN 14
DIV 1



Canucks:

Canucks as well as Aston Birra, TuT and Night’s Watch is another profiteer of the increasing of the league and the disbanding of some former FM teams, which makes them another team to fight for the survival in division 1. It’s the second FM season of the Canucks in that they can breathe first division air and it might be another difficult one. Last season the team struggled with the consistence of the team, many departures of their first team players made the stay alive a difficult task to undertake, although the key players mostly stayed. The losses of 666 and pompe, who were seeded in the beginning of the last season really hurt. Otherwise skinny, the captain of the Canucks, can count on his key players Shamway and AEM, who still be an option for the midfield axis. The only striker of the team is captain skinny himself, who helped out as a goalkeeper in emergency situations last season, will try to follow his main duty again, which is scoring goals, since they signed the Turkish player Lil, who will fill the gap on the goalkeeper position. Another transfer is Romanian player Kappa, who has gathered no FM experience so far. Right now the Canucks seem to work on the quantity possibilities of the team and test new players every day. Therefore new signings are definitely possible in the near future, which will be interesting to see, because they might be an enrichment to the FM league. Then again it will need time to integrate the new players, since they will arrive very close to the season start or even later, the upcoming season will be a tough one for the Canucks. The staying up will be the only goal they follow and for the mentioned reasons it would be a huge surprise for me to be honest.

"Skinny": We advanced into the first league, so we will try to stay here in the next seasons. We've got a lot of new players so we are not well coordinated. But I think we have a pretty good team afterwards for it.


TurnUpTurnips:

The third team that got promoted, which is TuT, will try to stay up in the highest division of FM after their second promotion in their team’s history. After their relegation in season twelve, they managed to get back their great performance of previous seasons and deserved the third place with the same amount of points as Dream Destroyers. The bad goal difference of minus one was the reason that they couldn’t reach a better positioning in division 2. The defense is - weather captain Hernandez likes it or not - also one of the biggest weaknesses of the recent past of the team. While they scored two goals in average per game, it is even more tragic that they ended up with such a bad goal difference. However, Captain Hernandez already take action in the preparation for the new season to strengthen up the defense. He signed a well-known goalkeeper with Bra to add more security to the unsteady defense. Another top-drawer signing is the returnee Aero, who is one of the best strikers of England and therefore also participating in the nation cup for team Britain. He can make the difference, as long he won’t have his known ping issues. On the other side, they also lose the best scorer of the past season with Jappo. The German legend left TuT to focus on his table football career. To compensate this loss, it will be important for the bereaved and new players to show full determination and engagement. Ayla, Datacrash, salamini or Swedish national player and wonderkid Yawn will be in great demand to archive the first stay up in the team’s history. If Hernandez, who is also captain of the German national team, will manage it to keep this ensemble in a good mood and strengthens the defensive quality, then the mission “stay up” is a realistic goal.

"Herna": We play in FM to become champions and theres no team on our level in this league.


Pablo Haxobar:
Image
Because of league enlargement and some disbandings Pablo Haxobar got the chance to avoid relegation by a playoff match against Meh Squirrel which they have won. Besides Ajhax is the oldest still active team of FM. Like Ajhax Pablo had to deal with a lot of Problems last season and only reached last place of Div1. Even before that season MrP predicted a hard season, and he ended up being right. The Team chemistry wasnt good the whole season which caused the bad result. Eventually polish Obs and Hakaes had to leave to reposition the team new and get back to old strengh. On top of these problems Pablos veteran top player Hawk leaving after 7 succesfull seasons, will be very hard to compensate. After all he scored 68 goals and 31 assists, always been inherent part of the team. To replace him there wont be a straight replacement signing but with Rooney1878 and A.Tuntija they still have strong attackers. Still there are three signings, comebacker Zola who's been in Pablo in season 5 already, aswell as saviola and Health. Both defending experts been important player at their former Div1 teams and having much experience. With these three new faces they gonna try to rectify the horror of last season and make captain MrP happy again. The Team of co-captain Hannes still has much experience and some gifted players. Coon is a option for AM, just can hope he can get back at his old activity and skills, to help the team to achieve the aim to stay up in Div1. Goal for the season should be to stay clear of the relegation zone this time.

"A.Tuntija": My personal aim for this season is to play as good as possible and help our team but also progress as player and my aim for pablo this season is that we will stay in div1 after the season (= top7)


Watch and Learn:
Image
The winner of FM season twelve avoided the relegation after they managed to get back into good shape in the end of the last season. The final table shows how close they were to fail this mission. Memento Mori, Aston Bira and Watch and Learn finished the season with the same amount of 15 points. Merely the goal difference made the difference and keeps the team around Ron breathing division 1 air. Obviously Ron won’t want to tremble again this season and therefore changed nearly the whole squad once again to prevent it. He didn’t just changed little details, or big things, no, he literally changed the whole squad. Only Ron himself and is haxball bro Rosemary stayed in the team that was nearly about to be relegated the last season. That’s also why it is quite difficult to predict the future performance of Watch and Learn. If we take a look at the new arrivals, then we definitely see some great names, including German national player Arango and Portugese national player, veteran and legend Hulk_@. The allrounder Hulk_@ will give the team more stability on every single position plus a huge bonus of skill. Arango is not that known yet, since he only played in Division 2 so far, where he were one of the top scorers for Inglorious Turtles, however, he has always been one of the best Division 2 defending midfielders. The impact of the Spanish Haxball artist Pogba is not foreseeable yet, as well as from the Turkish and Croatian newcomers that will support the team both in quality and quantity. As I mentioned in the beginning, the prediction will be utterly difficult and depends on the management skills of Ron. Will he be able to form a competitive team? Then again he has proven that he can bring team skill on the pitch out of nothing in the earlier past. If this is the case again, a spot in midfield of division 1 should be achievable, but it is very unlikely that the big coup will happen, as it did in season twelve, therefore the lack of consistency is way too big.

"Ron": For this season we prepared something new. We will be a big question mark for now with a hope that we will first have fun and then win matches and be competitive to league favourites. In my opinions strongest challenge in this league is Elite69, recent preseason cup winners and I see them as best opponent we have for now.
"Pogba": We all know that if you're playing FM Div1 it's because you gonna try to obviously win the league, because else (if you are foreign), you wouldn't be there, you'd be playing your national league. In my opinion the strongest team we have to beat are YeS AllStars and Dream Destroyers, both well handled teams with many known players that are playing together for a long time.


Nights Watch:
Image
Unfortunately some teams of the first division were disbanded last season, but as we all know: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! One of the beneficiaries of the gaps left behind by disbanded teams, is Night´s Watch and the team led by Muris deserves its chance to mix up the first division after a decent season. Many veteran Italian players as well as the Bosnian goalkeeper Hexucho want to help to establish the team in the circle of top teams. The stars of the team might be the Italian national player Edinson Cavani and Arsenio. Edinson Cavani joined the Nights Watch at season break of the past season, but did a huge impact immediately after his arrival. He suppressed Akira and Edgar and became the permanent goalkeeper in no time at all. As well as Edinson Cavani, also Arsenio was integrated in the team just after the season break of the past season and Arsenio did a convincing performance just as his mate of the Italian national team. The other part of the squad seem to be very balanced, which is one of the main strength as well as the huge experience of the team. There is no one to pick out, since both, Atomik, Hexucho, rai, Skrillex, Spà, Lelouch Lamperouge and Muris are very well known for their great technical skills and very appreciated in international Haxball. The loss of Akira, Edgar and Falcao seem to be manageable and should be compensated by the new signings Hexucho, Shimi and another Italian national player in persona El Kabir. There are more than a few people saying that El Kabir is one of the best attacking midfielders of Italy and will help the stability both in attack and defense for sure. Despite of the balanced squad, Night’s Watch’s highest goal will be the staying up this season. If they manage to fill their gaps in defense, then they could also climb up the table.

"EdinsonCavani1": Our aim is to arrive 1st 4 positions and to show a good gaming style. If our team plays well, we've all possibilities to play good matches vs all then we will see during the season what will happen.


Aston Birra:
Image
Aston Birra is about to start the fourth FM season already. After great years in FM 11 and FM 12, they finally began to struggle last season and ended on a relegation spot. A lucky coincidence though allows the team around Paulinho to prove themselves again in the first division. Because of some disbanded teams and a little preannounced incensement of the league, AB survives the highest class of FM Haxball. Everything was very close in the last season, so that three teams had the same amount of 15 points and huge survival anxieties. Only the goal difference was against the Italians of Aston Birra, so that they finished the season as one of the last teams. While they scored 24 goals on the one hand, they conceded 39 goals, which was one of their biggest weaknesses in the past season. It was a tough fall from grace that happened last season. AB was fancied for at least a HCL spot, but the consistent abstinences of some of their players was knocking Aston Birra out of the skies. The permanent goalkeepers Natsu and Kekko together reached only five matches of play time, which forced Paulinho to replace them himself on an for him unfamiliar position, instead of playing his main role as defensive midfielder. To get rid of this issues, a very famous player was signed. Jai is not only a British national player, but also known for excellent quality that he has proven in earlier seasons. While the Welsh star shall help out to close gaps in defense, a Dutch player is just arriving to help Aston Birra to cause more goal threatening as well. Last season, new arrival Stefan played for Inglorious Turtles and he might have played the best season of his life time scoring 31 goals and 17 assists in 18 games. He was vaulted by this to one of the best strikers in the world. These two top-drawer signings shall help to compensate the loss of owned, el kabir, Nexus, Orange and kekko. But what is even more important: Finally Paulinho will be able to just focus on the defense together side by side with Duke and they will support their offensive mates Natsu, William and Stefan. Scummy and zlatan mind find their starting spots on the bench, but will try their best to help the teams with their thoughts and their qualities after they get subbed to get a better position than last season.

"Paulinho": "Well, last season we were sure to battle for the title but things went wrong indeed we made only 15 points.. Now our program is to play match by match and try to reach our high level of 2 seasons ago, conscious that this season it will be more difficult because all teams are more competitive this time. This season our obstacle is the costancy, indeed our aim is to play good and make points each match otherwise we will have problems like the last season. I think we have the techinique and the experience to fight againist each team, to be honest we are conscious that againist Los Santos, YeS and W&L it will be hard but we will do the possible to gain points"


Dream Destroyers:
Image
Will Dream Destroyers have another great season in their second FM season? The Czech newcomer of the last season achieved to reach the promotion on their very first try. The lads around cvrk ended up on second place due to strong determination and teamwork. Without too many changes of their squad so far, they surely want to keep on their run in Division 1. One of the key factors for another successful season will be their well attuned defense with the honored “Goalkeeper of the Season” poraon and the defenders of the Czech national team martyk and KEANU, who conceded the second least amount of goals in Dvision 2 last season. Besides, Keanu, who is also captain of the Czech national team, has been elected as best attacking midfielder together with LS Yannex, which will give him an additional boost in motivation to keep on his excellent performance. Together with a decent offense the staying up will be the least goal of the team. The Squad is not only strong in quality but also in quantity, which makes big names, as for example Drew Barnaby or national player Roman, finding themselves on the high-rated bench. At the start of Season 14 they already reached the final of the Preseasonncup, which underlines their high ambitious again. So far the team has been strengthen by the new arrival crawford, who will compete against poraon for the goalkeeper spot. Anyway, Dream Destroyers will be an enrichment for Division 1, which makes it possible that both for the title and the relegation some teams will be on the same level. I believe that Dream Destroyers will be in the more ambitious group, wherever in the end of the season little details will make the difference and decide the final position.

"CvRk": We would like to fight for the league title this season, however there are teams that have more experienced players in 3-DEF competitions like YeS or LS, so we would be still satisfied with placement in TOP3.


Elite 69:
Image
Last season heavily underrated by me, I won’t make the same mistake again this season! Doupi’s Czech-Slovak team Elite 69 is already in best shape, even though the upcoming season haven’t started yet. They won the FM Preseasoncup for the first time and showed an outstanding performance, which will point the way for the title ambitious for all other teams. In the last season they missed the vice championship by a hair’s breadth, because of a worse goal difference than Quickswans. Therefore the 28 conceded goals in 14 games might be a main factor, which will lead me to the assuming that they will focus on improving their defense. The team is hardly changed, which will definitely an advantage for them. There won’t be any new players that need to be integrated, but it will be interesting to see how they will compensate the departure of their former striker Danny. From my point of view the Czech national player doupi is the star of the team, however, Elite 69 already has proven that they can replace him quite well, since he was missing in several matches of the last season already. Especially Popi, Bonaparte, Zembou and click have shown their class in times of a lack of squad depth. They indeed are players that the team can rely on. If Elite 69 is also able to reactivate inactive players like Strider and the national defender lukyno and bring them back to their former strength, then the team will have a great balance both in quality and quantity. If they archive this and get a consistent form which shows up, then they surely will be able to attack the first spots on the league, maybe even win the championship. Alike the other Czech team Dream Destroyers, it will be most important for Elite 69 to minimize distractions in their game and avoid unnecessary loss of points. If they are able to do so, they can end up at the top and they will try to realize this from the very beginning of the season.

"doupi": Our aim this season is, once again, to win the title. Last season we failed to do so and if we avoid some unnecessary losses, I believe we have the quality to do it. We haven't made a single change from the last season so our understanding as a team is quite strong as well. I believe YeS Allstars will be the strongest title challenger. There are some other strong teams but I think YeS Allstars are the strongest of them.


Los Santos:
Image
Los Santos was dominating the second division last season and played their rivals serially into the ground. They won 17 of 18 matches and therefore became the deserved championship winner of division 2 plus vice championship winner of the cup. LS is used to drive their opponents to desperation by their strong defense, but also managed to be goal threatening in the final third. They scored the most and conceded the least goals of all 18 official teams of the whole FM League. The main protagonists of this massive success were the Belgium national player and superstar CRonaldo alongside his Israeli team mate Yannex. Both made up the midfield axis in the “Fantasy Haxball Team of the Season”, which was confirmed by the community voting for the just mentioned positions. But this also leads us to the issues of the team. The team only consists of three players of the expired season, but is also looking for a big impact by their strong new arrivals. New players as the goalkeeper of the Dutch national team Zerothree, Portuguese player Dark or Italian hero Shärk are known for their huge experience. Also Vakoj, who served his suspension wants to prove the community once again what he is able to do. The high anticipated deal with earlier Israli wonderkid and nowadays one of the best midfielders Isco will bring the team on a new stage for sure. Isco joined the team after leaving YeS Allstars, the double winner of the last season. Together with maybe the best striker of the world, Derrick Rose, this team can only have the goal to win the big titles. Then again one departure will hit Los Santos heavily. CRonaldo has left the team and a comeback is not prospected. He was a guarantor for a solid defense and will leaving a huge gap behind. If Isco overcomes his occasionally abstinences, then I’m pretty sure that he will be able to replace CRonaldo. Other departures as of Rq and Modric will be easier to compensate, I suppose, since they only played half of the possible matches anyway and Zerothree will just do fine to fill that gap. Not that I don’t see, what they archived last season, but I’m not expecting another great run like that this season, because of the high competition in the upper half of the division. Furthermore it is difficult to predict this team, since there are a lot of new faces that have to build up chemistry first. If they succeed to get back the team play of the last season, then they are one of the title candidates without any doubts.

"Zerothree": Since I was the captain of teams like VL, DG and now Los Santos, my first goal is ofcourse to win the league! We are trying to make a active team of LS and we will play for winning the league, cup and ofcourse the CL ( if we will play it ). I see YeS at this moment the strongest opponent, but I won't forget Dream Destroyers and ofcourse Elite69.


YeS Allstars:
Image
YeS Allstars, FM Champion and Cup winner of the last season, as well as Division 2 champion the season before, is a superior team leading example for all teams in whole Feed me and for nearly all users of the community the first candidate to win the title. They archived to lose only two matches and drawn in only one match, while their winning streak is without equal. They won the championship way before of the official season end. In the end they conceded the second least goals and scored the second most goals in Division 1, but finished the season eight points ahead of the vice champion. In nearly every match, the lads around Fritz dominated their opponents and as it looks for now, they will start the new season with nearly the same squad. Only Isco will departure, while the world-class defensive midfielder DrG might be an adequate replacement. Therefore I don’t see a loss of quality and the team again is about to have the strongest squad of all FM teams, not only on their individual skill level, but also in the squad’s depth. Actually it can be said that this team doesn’t has any real weaknesses, but a lot of strengths as for example their unpredictability. YeS Allstars is known for many rotations. It doesn’t matter which tactical approach their opponent choose, the German legend and record national player Fritz will know an answer on that. The goalkeepers of the team are again Formiga and according to the community pool the best “Goal keeper of the Season” Caccapupu. Fritz and DrG still want to keep away their opponents from their own third and will be supported by Chro, Echo and Yaadon. The strikers of the team are Schnuppel, Razmo, pata and Renatoo, who will do everything in their power to make manager Whitee happy once again. This ensemble of high quality players will be a joy to watch in our home made stream. Depending on how they start at the beginning of the season, they will be one of the top contenders for sure. Since the past has shown that there can’t be any doubts about the superiority of the team, I think they will have a good start and end up as FM champion again.

"Fritz": Our aim is to win all matches and defend both titles. Its the same team with 1 change and nobody will stop us.
