Division Four Update (1st S12)

By: Dennis Moberg

Hi fellow Division Four members,

This is a small update on the teams in our League. :)

--- Division Four Update ---

Starting from the bottom, we have three teams yet to record a win. FC Bradford, Dynamo Kev and Anorthosis Economides Kickers will all hope to improve on that record, to survive in this league, where the bottom four teams gets relegated. GA United completes this, but the season has just begun, and a lot can still change.

Currently holding the lower mid-table positions are Little Aston Villa FC, WBB Football Club, Lincoln FC and Arsenal FC. WBB has currently lost the most games in the league - 6 - out of his first 8 games, but with the other two being wins, they still have a 10th place to their name as it stands - even though they've conceded the most goals (14) as well.

The upper mid-table positions are being held by Sedge City, Gerber FC, TCASPS Clube de Futbol and Rapier FC. All these clubs have come off to steady starts, not losing more than they've won, and Gerber FC in particular has a nice start with 3 wins and 1 loss in their opening four fixtures. Also worth mentioning is Sedge City, who has won four games but lost four as well, and also has scored 13 goals but conceded 13 as well. That's consistancy!

Top 4 - those who will get promoted to Division Three - is currently inhabited by Pompey PFC>, Barwell Bears FC, Zoetermeer FC and Odem Academicals. They all got in common that they 1) win many games (20 wins between them), and 2) they don't lose many games (3 losses between them). Pompey PFC, the leaders, has scored the most goals (18 ), and also has the best goal difference (+12). Yes, I know it's hard to be objective since it's my own team, but I'm starting to feel that I got realistic chances of getting my first title since... That's right, never! ;)

--- Top Performers ---

The total best Avarage Rating in the league is 7.63, but then has only played 2 games. To make it more fair, we'll only list those who have played at least 5:

James Brown - 7.42, 9 games (Barwell Bears FC)

Eldin Vidic - 7.41, 9 games (Pompey PFC)

Tiago Targino - 7.41, 6 games (GA United)

Let's go through the three who have scored the most goals as well.

Eldin Vidic - 8 goals, 9 games (Pompey PFC)

Ridge Munsy - 6 goals, 9 games (Sedge City)

Édgar Iván Pacheco> - 5 goals, 6 games (GA United)

And then we'll have the Fun Fact of the week - what team has recieved most red cards so far?

WBB Football Club - Cristian Ferreiro being the main offender.

--- Division Four in the Cups ---

Most of us are still in the Evening FA Challenge Cup, that only consists of teams from Division 4 and 5. So I fully expect that one of us wins this, and gets a spot in the Cup Winners' Cup - not every day Division Four teams gets that chance. ;)

I'll go more in depth as the cups starts approaching the latter stages - but if any of you have a cup tie to share with us, feel free to mail me and I'll share it here. :)

Hope you enjoyed the Update. :)
