Subject: Race for the Division II

if im one of the lucky ones to auto promote, i'll be doing my best to stay up there !! .. i remember last time i was up.. i was around 4th all season, and then i dropped 2 games in a row and fell in relegation playoff and lost it 2-1 , i cant remember to whoM I LOST, I was only in Div 2 for 1YEAR.
Of all division 2 league which one looks the hardest to easiest to u guys?

a lot depends on which of the teams promote from II, although I'd say currently the hardest would be a toss up between II.01 and II.03, both pretty close, although would slightly lean towards II.03 being the harder of the two come the beginning of next season.

So my opinion of hardest leagues to easiest would be as follows:

II.03
II.01
II.04
II.02

Edit: However in terms of average marks, the stats have the following:

39.5 League II.04
38.8 League II.03
38.1 League II.01
37.3 League II.02
(edited)

I would certainly agree here.

The only reason I would day II.03 over II.01 is because there are 5 ocmpetitive teams in II.03 as opposed to 4 in II.01

Well, no need for another competitive team in II.01... ;) (Actually, I expected more from Melbourne Magpies and World Class United...)

I wouldn't really say I'm "competitive", the other 3 are a class above.

Steady now! I'm probably the worst ranked team in all of league II....punching above my weight?

You auto-promoted last season, so you were obviously one of the strongest in league III ;)

Anyway, I hoped that you would win against Melbourne Victory so that I didn't have to face relegation as well...

Average team marks:
good
Losers
Gondor Guardians
Tollygunge
adequate
Melbourne Magpies
Melbourne Victory
average
WorldClass Utd
CE Principat
Tong FC

Average individual marks:
45.1 Losers
43.9 Tollygunge
42.3 Gondor Guardians
37.4 Melbourne Magpies
37.3 Melbourne Victory
35.7 Tong FC
34.6 WorldClass Utd
28.7 CE Principat


The stats have you ranked 4th in the 2nd strongest league, so you can't be too undermanned. [:)]
Anyone kicking goals in div 2 is doing pretty well in my books.

I got lucky with Fallen Angels not putting in the hours last season in my div III....just feel I may have got to div II too quickly....3 seasons saw me finish 1st, 2nd, 1st (on false pretence?)...so surprised I didn't finish 7th/8th. But hey, I'm happy to survive at least to the quali round.

as for those ratings - they seem to contradict where 'sokker tables' rates me (last time I looked)....very low down the pecking order on their website?

Wierd ratings:

51 (+4) Tong FC jkhtong1 2006-04-15 New South Wales 2369.24 (+37.96) League II.01
59 (-8) WorldClass Utd Teagy 2006-04-24 New South Wales 2283.45 (-77.89) League II.01
81 (-7) CE Principat Matteh 2006-08-30 Victoria 2044.22 (-57.7) League II.01
86 (-1) Melbourne Magpies fantum 2006-11-14 Victoria 2000.26 (-26.79) League II.01

I mean, look at how CE Principat has done all season...

They probably slaughtered their div 3 league fora fair while, so didnt lose many ranking points.

My worst finish in league II (5th, after finishing 4th twice) means that I have to play *somebody*.

Woops, miscalculation. Somebody please correct me...

Would love to see you try and figure it out considering it is random =p
