All or nothing the new Division 4 theory.

No team in D4 can be strong all areas, even if you have a strong overall team, probably you will lack depth.

So Sevilla are at least for now the favorites and over last season and the preseason pushed their team from 14th or 15th rated to 1st. The 2nd strongest attack and midfield , with plenty of depth. Celtic are the most balanced team of the big 3 and have some depth, much more so that Boca who really are a 1 man band with Salah leading the line.  The playoff crew should see Brugge with their good attack, Lille who are a well rounded side and Dynamo getting 3 of the 4 places.  Olympiacos also sit just above the mini pack on 219.5 or more. To survive D3 you need 220 so there are 7 teams who could get promoted and then do a partial rebuild without throwing the team in the bin.

Celta and Stuttgart will be relegated if they fail to bring in talent,  Bremen are also a player or 2 short of safety. Feyenoord are just generally weaker but with plenty of depth could overcome their Dutch rivals. Last season 217 was kind of the cut off for relegation but this year 219 or less could leave you vulnerable.
