    Hamburg dominate a topsy turvy division. Maybe the best stimulus to promotion is to avoid relegation? Hamburg who were a well balanced side finished with a VA of 16 and PVA of 17 an amazing season.  Zagreb would normally have claimed the top stats spot with +13 VA and 4.67PVA,   Malaga is 3rd spot in…
