Amid the talks of FA mergers and other hectic improvement measures being taken, premier leagues of Turkeyilmaz had provided the much needed excitement in season 6.
Opinions may differ, but in the writer's opinion, TFA premier league has provided the most exciting fight for champion's place, whereas EFA premier league provided the most nerve wrecking finale for survival on the other end of the table.
Let's take a look at each specific FAs.
TFA - Top 4
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
1 - Tottingpool Utd - 42 - 25 - 9 - 8 - 71 - 37 - +34 - 84 - <:emoticon#54> Champions <:emoticon#54>
2 - Bajen United - 42 - 25 - 8 - 9 - 86 - 39 - +47 - 83
3 - Newtownards - 42 - 24 - 10 - 8 - 68 - 38 - +30 - 82
4 - Atletico Annapurna I - 42 - 23 - 13 - 6 - 59 - 32 - +27 - 82
As you can see, the difference between first place and fourth place was mere 2 points!
We seldom see this kind of drama at the top of the table in modern football world.
Most exciting top of the table in my opinion and congratulations to Tottingpool Utd.
You truly deserve "survival of the fittest" trophy!
Now, let's take a look at the bottom of the table.
TFA - Bottom 5
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
18 - Synyster Athletic - 42 - 11 - 12 - 19 - 41 - 51 - -10 - 45
19 - FC Hurja Tollikko - 42 - 12 - 8 - 22 - 51 - 79 - -28 - 44
20 - Celtic FC 1888 - 42 - 9 - 11 - 22 - 36 - 59 - -23 - 38
21 - Sale Spartans - 42 - 8 - 12 - 22 - 31 - 59 - -28 - 36
22 - The Unit - 42 - 5 - 14 - 23 - 23 - 57 - -34 - 29
Adios! These 5 teams will be demoted and compete in championship in season 7.
And congratulations to Malandathals for finishing in 17th place with 50 points and escaping relegation by 5 points!
Next we will discuss EFA premier league.
EFA - Top 6
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
1 - Flakkster - 28 - 18 - 7 - 3 - 56 - 28 - +28 - 61 - <:emoticon#54> Champions <:emoticon#54>
2 - Bevsters - 28 - 14 - 3 - 11 - 45 - 31 - +14 - 45
3 - Rhee United - 28 - 13 - 6 - 9 - 45 - 31 - +14 - 45
4 - Rebel Football Club - 28 - 10 - 13 - 5 - 40 - 32 - +8 - 43
5 - Reggina 1914 FM 2009 - 28 - 12 - 6 - 10 - 42 - 42 - +1 - 42
6 - St Domingo 1878 - 28 - 10 - 12 - 6 - 37 - 36 - +1 - 42
Flakkster clearly ran away with the trophy in EFA, with a whopping 16 point lead over second place Bevsters.
More exciting was the race for the second place, with 5 teams involved in it.
Difference between second place and sixth place was mere 3 points.
Now let's go to the foot of the table.
EFA - Bottom 5
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
11 - Central FC - 28 - 7 - 10 - 11 - 34 - 43 - -9 - 31
12 - Touching Apples - 28 - 8 - 7 - 13 - 32 - 41 - -9 - 31
13 - MadPsychos - 28 - 9 - 4 - 15 - 36 - 51 - -15 - 31
14 - Lobsterboy Utd. - 28 - 7 - 8 - 13 - 28 - 35 - -7 - 29
15 - Green Madness FC - 28 - 6 - 9 - 13 - 34 - 50 - -16 - 27
What a battle this was. 5 teams separated by 4 points and 3 of them were level on points.
Bottom 4 were to be relegated to championship and Central FC has just edged Touching Apples to survival by having a superior record in F (Goals For).
See this folks? This is why you need to play positive attacking football and score goals!
Remember how Italy was knocked out of Euro 2004 without losing? There is a lesson to be learned.
Congratulations to Central FC and good-bye to the bottom 4 teams.
Next will be GFA premier league.
GFA - Top 6
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
1 - FC Warsaw - 32 - 20 - 6 - 6 - 54 - 25 - +29 - 66 <:emoticon#54> Champions <:emoticon#54>
2 - FC Real Minerz -- - 32 - 17 - 11 - 4 - 57 - 31 - +26 - 62
3 - Geronimo - 32 - 18 - 7 - 7 - 64 - 36 - +28 - 61
4 - Zenit United - 32 - 17 - 6 - 9 - 48 - 22 - +26 - 57
5 - Geordie Boot Boys 1988 - 32 - 16 - 9 - 7 - 52 - 43 - +9 - 57
6 - Bryn y Spurs - 32 - 14 - 12 - 6 - 51 - 32 - +19 - 54
Here at the top of GFA premier league, we saw 2 mini-league tables forming up. First, second, third places created a "championship table" and fourth, fifth, sixth places created "race to 4th table".
Congratulations to FC Warsaw, who became champions by somewhat comfortable 4 point margin.
Off to the bottom of the table then.
GFA - Bottom 6
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
13 - Inter Yamam Fc - 32 - 7 - 9 - 16 - 30 - 48 - -18 - 30
14 - Tomimp United - 32 - 7 - 8 - 17 - 22 - 45 - -23 - 29
15 - Shark FC - 32 - 6 - 10 -16 - 25 - 46 - -21 - 28
16 - FC Misfits - 32 - 5 - 12 - 15 - 16 - 34 - -18 - 27
17 - Hopaspor SK - 32 - 7 - 2 - 23 - 22 - 66 - -44 - 23
Rather tight finish on the wrong end of the table. These 5 teams will be missing from GFA premier league next season. Congratulations to "Plymouth super greens" who finished 12th and grabbed the survival ticket with 34 points of 32 matches.
Next up will be VFA premier league.
VFA - Top 4
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
1 - FC Leander - 30 - 19 - 6 - 5 - 52 - 23 - +29 - 63 <:emoticon#54> Champions <:emoticon#54>
2 - FC Hammarbacka - 30 - 15 - 7 - 8 - 52 - 36 - +16 - 52
3 - Grava City FC - 30 - 12 - 12 -6 - 52 - 41 - +11 - 48
4 - Vic la Guardiole FC - 30 - 13 - 9 - 8 - 41 - 31 - +10 - 48
No team came close enough to challenge FC Leander for the crown as FC Leander defended their VFA premier league title for second successive time. (Three times won in total).
Host of clubs in mid-table were gunning for second place, such was the quality of the teams in VFA.
But in the end it was FC Hammarbacka claiming the runner-up spot with Grava City FC and Vic la Guardiole FC only separated by Goal Differential for third and fourth.
Heading to the bottom of VFA premier league.
VFA - Bottom 5
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
12 - Sango - 30 - 8 - 10 - 12 - 45 - 52 - -7 - 34
13 - SPORTING C.P - 30 - 8 - 8 - 14 - 35 - 40 - -5 - 32
14 - Munky Magic - 30 - 7 - 8 - 15 - 34 - 52 - -18 - 29
15 - Faroese Vikings - 30 - 6 - 9 - 15 - 36 - 62 - -26 - 27
16 - Best Benfica - 30 - 3 - 9 - 18 - 23 - 48 - -25 - 18
All these teams came up short as the surviving team, F.C. Meteorito finished eleventh with 40 points on a somewhat comfortable cushion of 6 points.
Upgrading their squad should be on their priority list if they are to get back into premier league and do well if there is next time!
Next up is OFA premier league.
OFA - Top 4
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
1 - Perry Saint-Germain - 38 - 21 - 10 - 7 - 55 - 37 - +18 - 73 <:emoticon#54> Champions <:emoticon#54>
2 - Corporal Punishment F.C. - 38 - 20 - 11 - 7 - 59 - 34 - +25 - 71
3 - Birmingham Hunter's - 38 - 19 - 9 - 10 - 49 - 27 - +22 - 66
4 - Lok Feldberg - 38 - 18 - 9 - 11 - 43 - 34 - +9 - 63
OFA premier league was the only premier league mimicking the real EPL with 20 teams.
Here it looked like Perry Saint-Germain edged out a 3 horse race against Corporal Punishment F.C and Birmingham Hunter's with Lok Feldberg applying the outside pressure on top 3.
Lok Fedberg wasn't a distant 4th themselves, only 10 points off of the pace of first place Perry Saint-Germain.
Is this how 2010 - 2011 EPL is going to look come May 2011? We shall see.
Congratulations to Perry Saint-Germain for their title.
Onto the bottom of the table.
OFA - Bottom 5
Rank - Team - P - W - D - L - F - A - GD - Points
16 - FC Pie Eaters - 38 - 10 - 11 - 17 - 33 - 35 - -2 - 41
17 - Clairefontaine - 38 - 10 - 11 - 17 - 27 - 45 - -18 - 41
18 - Gimp Athletic - 38 - 8 - 11 - 19 - 33 - 54 - -21 - 35
19 - Dollis Hill - 38 - 8 - 8 - 22 - 38 - 64 - -26 - 32
20 - Danko United - 38 - 5 - 5 - 28 - 30 - 90 - -60 - 20
These 5 teams are relegated from OFA this season and FC Pie Eaters must be cursing out lady luck.
If FC Pie Eaters had managed to get 1 more draw they would've been level on points with "Liverpool young 'uns" who finished 15th place with 42 points.
And chances are, FC Pie Eaters would've survived because of their far superior goal difference. (Liverpool young'uns had -8)
And it looks like the manager of Danko United has found life in football management difficult and decided not to continue their journey as a football club. Farewell, Danko United will always be remembered as a premier league club even with that disgusting record.
I think only Portsmouth, Sunderland and Derby has managed to do worse with 19, 15, 11 points respectively. (I may be wrong)
Recap of CFA and DFA will be in next part...
I ran out of characters to write!!
Sorry about that folks..
