Napoli or Valencia which place in sun will be champs.
Napoli are a cut above any other team in the league, a 90 rated keeper, strongest attack, strongest mid should be game set and match even at this early stage. Valencia perhaps a keeper short of challenging their Italian rivals but they should have the defence to lock out most rivals. Lokomotive also sit pretty in 3rd spot a mighty midfield perhaps shields a lack of depth in parts of a team but nothing unexpected in D4. That is obviously the point, in D4 an 86 can’t be classed as a week player and an 88 would be considered a strong one.
The playoff places should be contended by 4 of 6 teams which the A.I. and I agree on. PSG a decent attack but weaker in goal are favoured over Dynamo who are a similar team with a stronger defence gut weaker attack. Montpellier are up for the top and tail approach so favoured in lower league with Marseille and Celtic trying the same tactic. Independiente are a more balanced squad but do they lack a little depth especially if they get to the playoffs where that is more vital.
You need 219 to survive in division 3 so Partizan should not be discounted if their lack of depth doesn’t hamper them. Anything less than 218 and you are looking to be served some relegation steak with a side order of sour grapes. Bremen sits above that cut off. Kazan looks beyond help at the moment, too weak all round, they will get relegated if nothing is done. Athletic club really do now need a better keeper to avoid returning to D5. Lyon are counting on a potent attack out scoring the opposition in high scoring fixtures but this hasn’t gone well so far. River Plate could just survive. A keeper and defence that is decent for the league with a midfield screen and an ok attack. Feyenoord even more so than River Plate with Chievo going for the balanced approach. Up for the cup, well Valencia, Dynamo and Marseille should be.
Only one really noticeable disagreement with the A.I. and that is Dynamo Kyiv, I see them mid table or maybe better with that top and tail combo. The A.I. though prefers the more balanced defensive approach of Newcastle to finish in the top half.
