Can AZ shield their keeper to take the title?
Division 4 is normal full of compromises. A weak keeper, lack of depth a dodgy midfield.
Note any transfers after Monday 3rd are not included.
AZ are 2 clear points above the rest of the pack. They have a 90 rated striker, just below 90 midfield and a strong defence. So long as the keeper isn’t breached they should do well. Feyenoord in 2nd a similar team but with more depth overall who should come good in the 2nd half of the season. Sassuolo less potent up top than their rivals but they have a far better keeper and if they can withstand some possession football could be the 3rd choice for auto promotion.
You have to be above 219 to survive D3, therefore any team lower than Bordeaux has a lot of improving to do. Lille weak in defence but strong elsewhere, Malaga with a dodgy keeper but strong in the remainder of the team. Bordeaux maybe more balanced but have the weakest midfield of the top 7 teams.
Up for the cup? Feyenoord look the best prospects.
Anything less than 217.5 leaves you in serious relegation risk. This means 7 teams have to improve their stats to survive. Shaktar and Fiorentina look prime suspects to drop back down. Maybe Fiorentina can hide behind or in front of their keeper. Napoli will be ok unless they get a couple of injuries, if so they will suffer. Dnipro still a weak defence leaves them vunerable. St Etienne go for the strong striker , weak defence combo that often is enough for the weaker teams.
Average = 218.09 , 0.55 lower than last season
