Season 27 Division 5 Stats and Facts.


Two strong favourites for promotion, who can join them?

A division of contrasts to be sure.  Some ruinously bad teams, that are for some reason uncompetitive, despite higher rated players being freely available, this could cause some skewed stats in this division if they make a number of purchases during the season. On that note I have capped Stuttgart’s top 18 to 78 as I believe that 70 rated players will not feature much in the first team.

Valencia is an easy side to get promoted strong all-over best keeper in the division best midfield, best depth.  Marseille may be the best defence in the league and have a great attack but will lack in possession at times.  AZ a more balanced team are in 3rd spot but they lack more depth than their 2 rivals. Celta Vigo currently managerless are the 4th best team in the division and have a potent front line.  Santos, Brugge and Torino should make up the top 7 with very little disagreement from the A.I.

In fact, with 1 exception of Shaktar the A.I. and I  (sounds like a Christmas musical for about 20 years’ time) agree very closely.  The A.I.  maybe thinks the weak keeper and lack of midfield strength will be more of a problem.

No relegation of course, Stuttgart is dire and utterly uncompetitive, Bordeaux makes more of an effort and if they could swap a few midfielders for defenders could soon have a decent squad.  Twente just need to sort the keeper and defender.

Possible outliers: Brugge could drop to 10-12th due to a large depth gap, Kazan are predicted to be vulnerable to injuries of suspension with a possible low point of 16th.  Atalanta could push up as high as 11th due to a small depth gap and balance within the squad.
