Division 1 Season 23 Stats and Facts.

Usual explanations here:

Will Dortmund overcome Hellas?

I use the average rating in Gk, Def, Mid, Att using the best formation, I include the lowest ranked top 18 player who is likely to play and work out an average. Then using a magic formula developed in the early days of T100 the ETOT the estimated total rating of the team.

Teams are then ranked best to worst.

After a great season the top and tail approach of Hellas seems to work better than the all-round strength of Dortmund. Second ranked Dortmund probably would be after a higher rated keeper, not that 92 is bad to round out their team and also more depth.  Other than defence Porto in 3^rd can match Hellas. Chelsea in 3^rd is another similar team but depth is lacking this season.

The other two main contender above 230 are Bayern and Juventus. Juventus maybe not good enough up top, Bayern lack a great keeper and with a lesser midfield that could be a problem.

That leaves a sizeable gap to the rest the Old Boys of Manchester perhaps have 1 or 2 seasons to tilt at the title. Genoa could be a dark horse with the depth in their squad.

Last season 224 or less meant relegation issues. As it stands AC Milan are as good as relegated, they desperately need a keeper and a 90+ striker.  Hertha’s main weakness is defence, Espanyol are playing a waiting game on some risers. That leaves one final dropper spot.  Levante look most vulnerable with a risk of really low possession and a weak keeper for the league they are in.  Juventus & Hellas could be great cup teams as could Genoa, Real Madrid and Leverkeusen.
