Nice post!

Just one comment, my ducks are not the best rated team right now. I guess you looked at the Top 100 rated teams which shows the best rating that a team ever had. In my case, this rating is one or two years old.

Thanks for clearing this. I was led to believe that it's the rating right now when a fellow manager congratulated me for holding up with you and referencing this Top100-list when we met in the Supercup last season

@Rufio: Thanks for a very enlightening write-up

Yeah, I remember this game. Not the brightest showing for my ducks. But then I was not surprised to see you promote in Elite. May we meet at some point in the PO again (and I would agree for a late 7 points win again ).

Thank you Krill and Rufio ! This awesome. Krill, nice start into Elite already, giving us a nice overview.

And Rufio. What can I say. The master is back !

Ok folks, its time to open your wallets to make your bets.

Here are mine :

Away team Power Rank Home Team Power Rank
Air Force Falcons 15 vs. CardiacJackets 4
Last season both teams met at the Falcons home. The Jackets didn’t break their bones but managed to win 17-13. Now we have the rematch in and I believe in another close win for the jackets.

Alaskan Fur Trappers 31 vs. Chelt Nam Bobbers 11
We are still in summer in the Northern hemisphere and summer is not the season for furs. Bobbers open their season with a repeat win to the last supercup playoffs.

Deflators 10 vs. Bradford Northern 26
The Deflators will take no bull from the yoyos from Bradford. They take home a win from their trip to the North.

Dublin Oilers 7 vs. Zombaes 14
Last season the Irish won 37-10 at the Zombaes. I can see a similar result for tomorrow.

Dumbarajko Elephants 19 vs. KMN Mandalorians 9
The Elephants are known to be able to trample just about any team. But they never met Mandalorians before and might be in for a bad surprise. The points stay in Hamburg.

Fredericksburg Comanches 27 vs. TigerCats 13
Both times the Comanches met with the TiCats, the TiCats won. I believe it will be thre in a row.

Free Agent Mascots 20 vs. Leverkusen Leopards 21
The second feline team will be pleased to know that they are allowed to also toss the ball instead of just running it. The question is if this will help Jack’s team as they have lost 5 of their 6 encounters. My prediction follows this trend. Mascots win in Leverkusen.

Glastonbury Grail Knights 28 vs. Fargo Knights 23
When Falcons meet Jackets, it’s difficult to see how such battle will happen. Here we have knights fighting knights. And knights will win and knights will lose. My money is on the knights from Fargo as they have already won their last 3 matches.

hamburg krill (HSL) 30 vs. Paladins 25
Now here is a match difficult to predict. They have never met. And you might be as me and wonder what this match is all about. They have never met. And you might be as me and wonder what this match is all about. Krill are small and exclusively marine crustaceans of the order Euphausiacea, found in all the world's oceans. The name "krill" comes from the Norwegian word krill, meaning "small fry of fish", which is also often attributed to species of fish. Paladins is a shooting game. I am completely clueless what to say here. Home team wins.

Melittlemenon thepitchhitchin 29 vs. ChosenOnes 8
MATCH OF THE DAY ! In season 46 the hitchin still won. In season 47 and 52 the Chosen Ones were the winners. For the first matchday I choose the Chosen Ones as my chosen ones.

mystics 17 vs. The Alpin Ducks 5
Two of my favorite managers will battle it out. You may believe that anything but a win by the Ducks would be a surprise. But in season 51 Johnny’s Aces scored a nice away win in France. This time the Ducks will win.

Peoples Republic of Yorkshire 1 vs. VenoM 32
Sometimes the match schedule is brutal. Rufio picks you as last team of the league and you get the current champion in your first game. Not fair. Hail to the champion and their first season win !

Saker Falcons 16 vs. BobBoy Magpies 12
The first BIRD BOWL of the season could be a close match. They have met 12 times before and each team has 6 wins. Surprisingly the last 4 matches all produced a win for the away team. Let’s go with this trend then.

San Diego Blitz 3 vs. Diorite Lions 18
Why are lions the king of the jungle? It's mainly because of their ability to dominate their habitat. For starters, lions are apex predators, being at the top of their habitats' food chain. But I don’t see how lions prevail when confronted with a bombing campaign. 7 times out of 11 it didn’t end well for them. This match will make it 8 out of 12.

Space Kraken 2 vs. Social Distance Runners 22
I can see Rufio celebrating when he saw the draw for his first match that will immediately his league related one match losing streak. The Runners defense will probably execute a social distancing strategy and the Kraken will have plenty of choices to pass or run their touchdowns.

Sydney Sea Eagles 6 vs. Raspberry Bush 24
Do you have raspberries in Australia ? Shadow will like them.

Up to you to comment ! Yes, you !

For the record: From now on we will again sport the franchise name that we chose when we entered this game. "hamburg krill" was a name-change to honor the great LEATHERHEAD tournament that we sadly fell out of today.

So it's HAMBURG SEA LIONS again

#funfact: I don't know about raspberries, but I was recently told that there's an area in the north of Australia by the size of the german state Schleswig-Holstein that's overgrown by blackberry bushes. They even try to fight the ever growing bushes with bulldozers, but as it is their nature the bushes always come back

Hmmmm, both facts could have had some impact on my predictions. Definitely it will be easier to shoot up sea lions than krill. On the other hand, sea lions have quite some power on their own. At the end I m not smarter than before.


And if I had known about that the Australians have big problems with blackberry bushes, maybe they won’t know how to deal with raspberry bush either.

So ... This is Olympus, The Elite, where hubris is knee deep.

But we, the overmatched, the out talented, the cannon fodder will enter the coliseum with no fear. We do not except the fate the gods have determined for us. We will not go quietly into the night, We intend to rage against the gods of Olympus !
We may not win a game but they are going to know they played a game of football. We will scratch and fight each and every match. We aren't going to play statistics, we aren't going win many if any statistical battles but we never have, we just collect wins. Bring your A game boys.

Best of luck to all

You showed me a lot of love in your posts Buzi. Maybe too much.

I see my team fighting for seed 5 and 6 with Zombaes, the Oilers and the mystics. The season will be interesting.

And Rufio seeing me defeating SDB currently seems like SiFi considering our last matchups.

If we believe in you and your team, this is based on real Know-how. Trust us. And yourself. And your team. At the level where you and SDB play, it may come down to luck. But you can definitely do it.
