Turkish delight, certainly a rose tinted season for Besitkas.
No one could deny Besitkas had a great season finishing 1st when 10th place was on the cards at the start of the season. +9 VA is the joint highest in the division along side 3rd spot Feyenoord who gain auto promotion. Newcastle in 3rd place in the stats get to the playoffs as do Marseille on +4 VA. Notable positive VA of +6 for Lyon and Napoli showing the progress made this season.
The lowest ranked teams should have been amongst the highest . Torino should have been promoted on -11 VA along with Kazan who had a season to forget. AZ got to the playoffs but unsurprisingly were beaten by a resurgent Marseille. 4 of the 5 lowest ranked teams unsurprising finished in 4 of the 5 lowest places, showing there is a lot still to do. Slow cooked meals are one thing but you have to eat the meal eventually.
