AZ are 2 points above the rest , who will be 2^nd?

AZ should win D5 and even D4, this should be a walk in the park for them. Kiev and Torino look like solid 2^nd and 3^rd place outfit, Kiev pack a punch upfront, while Torino are more defensive minded.

Around 217.5 would be survival in D4 so as usual in D5 a host of teams could seek promotion or wait a while to build their strength.  There is a very narrow range of teams from 5^th place Rubin down to 11^th place Besitkas who will at least for a while have much more bite in their team.

Independiente look the cream of the play off crop with a well balanced team with some depth.

With no relegation there is only the fairly palid sack race to avoid. Athletic club are still being rebuilt , Chievo need to sort out their defence and midfield. Lazio seems to have continued to underperformed despite the youth structure under the previous manager.

Marseille could be a good cup team and may make a late run with all that depth. D5 is slightly weaker than last season.
