Hello everyone,
This is our first Leagues Update of the season. :)
I'll briefly go through all 7 tiers of the Evening FA for you, in order to let you keep in touch what's happening around the tiers. ;)
Enjoy!

--- Premiership ---
-- Title Contenders --
Nags Head Rovers are currently leading the way, the old SFA side sitting top of the table with 23 points from their opening 11 games and are followed by Eastbourne Young Pensioners, who sit two points behind with the same amount of games played. They are closely followed by Hi Standard FC (same points as 2nd, lower Goal Difference) and F. C. Porto Kenshin, who has 19 points. Team Kolbotn and King Krimson FC are projected the highest points as it stands though, sitting at 5th and 6th respectively but with only 8 matches played.
-- Relegation Batte --
Phantoms currently sit bottom of the table, and will find it hard to climb above the relegation spots with their young and unproven team. Thelwall Rangers, Athens Eureka Giants and Aletheia FC makes up the current bottom 4, only having won two games each in their opening 8-9 games. Tyrosquad F.C. will be involved as well by the looks of it, with only 1 win in their opening 10 games.
-- Worth Mentioning --
Former AEFA Powerhouse Ariadni FC has had a dodgy start to the season, with a record of 4W 4D 4L in their opening 12 games.
StrictlyButterSideUp's strategy of "the one that scores the most wins" is proving right, as they sit in 7th, having scored the most goals in the Prem (23), while also having conceded among the most in the series (16).
RockSteady FC has conceded the most goals by far, 23 so far. However, with 3 wins to their name, they are currently sitting in mid-table.
