Will relegated and promoted sides dominate as predicted?
Relegated Galatasaray are a strong all round side no real weakness and sufficient depth with a 90 rated attack. Fellow relegated Stuttgart should make a quick return with a slightly stronger attack but weaker midfield. Shakhtar continue their renaissance and perhaps are a keeper away from the title.
Ajax flatter to deceive so often recently they have a great keeper for the division they are in but lack depth. Promoted Basel go all out attack but do lack some strength. Monaco are the division top and tail team of the division who sit below Zenit who are much more balanced.
218.5 is the limit to survive D3 so any team down to Santos could aim for auto promotion.
Last season was mad but around 217 would be a limit to relegation. This would leave Lokomotiv Moscow who are rebuilding but have no depth and Napoli in desperate trouble. Any team up to Roma will look to improve to pull out of the lowest 4. Up for the cup ? well Twente and Shakhtar look best equipped to progress a round or 2 or even 3.
Division 4 is substantially tougher on average at +-.6 across the board.
