Will Celtic overcome their poor start to be number 1 in the stats.
In an ironic twist the top stat team is after 1 game holding up the rest of the table. Thie main weakness is the keeper but an 88 is fine in D4 a few powerhouse teams do have stronger attacks but a top 3 places should be theirs at least,
Valencia and Lille are closely matched even if different prospects. Valencia are playing the popular defensive game, Lille go all out attack. Lokomotive and Ajax in 4 and 5th are more balanced teams, Moscow have the most potent midfield in the league so if they can convert the possession, they should get a top 3 place could be for them. Liverpool , Palace and Kiev all play the attacking game ,but not all can succeed and if this becomes a “thing “ surely a defensive counter movement will follow.
To survive D3 you would need 219 so Olympiacos or even Partizan could push for a playoff spot without much concern.
Shaktar have mountain to climb pretty much the weakest in all positions. Sassuolo have a decent keeper but not much else. Lyon may escape due to a decent attack, Moenchenglabach are the balanced team amongst the relegation candidates but is that a good idea?
Division 4 lost some profoundly weak teams last season so predicting a cut off is all but impossible. Two really strong teams were promoted and this means the average rating is slightly less. D4 should be even tighter than last season.
What does the A.I. think? Lille are predicted to come 2nd , Kiev are expect to get a playoff spot at the expense of Basel. The A.I. thinks Moenchenglabach will displace Bremen maybe the depth of Bremen will help as the season goes on.
