5) Amenra
Salary: 338 634$ per week
Reason: a NINE time winner of the BBBL, who has gone down and retrained some young studs. He's on the upwards trajectory and this division should be perfect for him. Young players that are coming into their own and his tactical brilliance, he should be able to win. Just to give you a proper idea, he's a manager that was able to be champion of belgium while the Vottem Cowboys were in the BBBL! That is a serious achievement! I wouldn't be surprised if Amenra took the 3rd spot in the division, but for now i'll predict that they'll be in the pack hunting for a PO spot

6) Duck Dynasty
Salary: 333 798$ per week
Reason: Once again the second smallest salary in the red conference. By reputation, i should make the PO's. However, i've reached the end of a training cycle and therefor need to make some decisions. 2 of my players will no longer improve, yet they are probably the 2 best SF's in the division. There is a hard choice that needs to be made and there is a very high likelyhood that i'll end up blowing up the roster in the season once my finances are sorted out (i made a 1M mistake when it came to building unfortunately which has put me back a season and has placed me in a rather annoying situation. Key for me will be the results with the direct rivals. Considering TC already beat me at my place, i reckon i will be the team that will have to play the dreaded PD's this season.

7) BBC Marteko
Salary: 411 394$ per week
Reason: a former II.2 team that has found it's way back. The good news for them is that they are on the red side. The bad news is that they are in a very competitive conference where salary doesn't mean everything. The starting 5 is very solid from a salary point of view. their most recent acquisition was a 170k purchase of a 100k C. The only way those players come that cheap is if they got a significant weakness. In a division that generally will exploit weaknesses, that is a reason for concern. Will Marteko be able to surprise or will they have to scrap their way to the PD's and hope for a good match up?

8) Knokido
Salary: 214 584$ per week
Reason: investments in the squad will be needed if Knokido wants to survive in this division. The good news is that his arena is solid, so he should be able to make good bank early on and get a player or 2 in. That could change things and could make him able to compete for a PD series, but much will depend on how he manages his team.

Thank you Mahesvara for your prediction.

You really overestimated my Pongo. I'm aiming for 5th place, but I think I'll be closer to 6th or 7th by the end of the season.
My two best players will never play together to optimize their training time. With a complicated start to the season: 2 games, 2 losses (only -6 points in total).
Every game is already important.

i'm off to a horrendous start too.
TC injured Destrebecq, so my next games are in full survival modus. Not ideal to start the season but it is what it is. It might make my decision to hit the reset button slightly easier if results don't go my way

Some bad luck to start the season .
7 injuries already after 2 games in the competition .
