Football Season Guide

Missed out on the top half split by just 3 points in what would've been an overachievement. They were virtually safe from relegation in the post-split and perhaps lacked motivation in the final 5 games picking up just 6 points from 15. A very satisfying return to the top division after a long absence. They relied heavily on Tiago Orobo's 17 goals as their other forward Gutkovskis got an injury after 3 games. Now fit again, he will have the task of replacing them goals. At the back, the loss of Yu-min Cho is also a big one with new signing Jeong-un Hong a capable replacement. Otherwise a good window. A mixed preseason in terms of results and the manager has spoken about changing formation; the outlook had been very positive but the recent and unwanted loss of captain Yu-min Cho will temper expectations. Seung-dae Kim will add more threat up top and Soon-min Lee is also a great signing. The new signings all add something to the team. The team was well set up tactically last year and their press and counter was hard to deal with for a number of teams. The manager signed an extension to his contract so they are well set up for the start of the new season. The two losses of Yu-min Cho and Tiago will be the hardest thing to deal with. The club are still in the market for a centre back and centre forward so their will need to some adaption time for those signings and the likes of Kim, Park, Lee and Hong who will likely be regulars.
