Season 24 League One Preview

Season 24 promises to be a cracker in League One with Fifa 19 just a couple of weeks old , we have grown slightly this season and there will be 11 managers battling it out for promotion to the Championship. We have sadly lost Chad from the leagues – I say sadly not only because he’s a great lad but also because he finished just one place above me last season and I was looking for revenge.

We have several new managers in the division namely Niwintz & SoggyCabbages who were relegated from The Championship and league newcomers Wizzfox , Burnzee Boyee & Tunners

Favourite Too Strong In Head to Head Cup

The Matchplay Knockout Cup on the AG Tour is the big chance for the top players to grab a trophy, as there are no handicaps, so your skill is all that counts when you go head to head on the course. When the random draw was made, it looked like most of the top players were in the bottom half of the draw, which was going to make it tougher for those experienced players, but also provide the opportunity for one of the unfancied names to come through in the top half.

The first couple of rounds were played on an easy course, the Sleeping Giant, with most of the field receiving a bye on Round 1. In the only tie of the round one of the contenders on the Tour, Joe made an early exit, losing 3 and 1 to fallball80 . The American pulled off another impressive win in Round 2 as well, squeezing past Berty44 by the narrowest margin, 1 hole. Round 2 saw some big wins as the competition sorted the men from the boys, with comfortable margins for IDanger IMouse, RFC Buncey, Riverman, wellsa27, Red Rhinoceros and Tunners1.

The action switched over to the Hookenslice course for the quarter finals, but that didn't faze RFC Buncey who beat Riverman comfortable by 6 and 4. The favourite Red Rhinoceros also won by the same margin against Tunners1 in the other side of the draw, with the other victors being deareststorm who came through a very tight game against IDanger IMouse, and fallball80 who kept pulling off surprising wins by knocking out wellsa27 3 & 2 in a very competitive game.

We were down to the final four and the difficulty level of the courses was ramped up as the semi-finalists took on Pebble Beach. fallball80's run came to an end as he was beaten by the accurate play of Red Rhinoceros, going down 7 & 5. Unfortunately deareststorm didn't make it onto the course in time and RFC Buncey went through to the final, which no-one would've predicted at the start for a player that hadn't cut his teeth on the AG Tour like everyone else.

Unrest at Galaxy?

Tonight Sky Sports News reports the manager of L.A. Galaxy may well be on the move before the new season begins.

Jaminator is quoted as saying "While I'm not confirming nor denying any move at this stage, I cannot deny that the lure of a higher rated team would be an interest when the franchise list is released for the upcoming season. Having taken this team to forth place in the Premiership, beating the previously undefeated Champion Subz on the way, there's only so far I can take a team of this calibre. In order to be better placed to challenge the top places in the league, I must align myself with a powerhouse able to provide a larger wage budget."

This has come as a shock to most, as Jaminator had never mentioned any potential unrest at the club. However despite rumours of himself moving, he was still able to provide us with a list of L.A. Galaxy's players which would be available for transfer prior to the new season beginning.

"My squad has done fantastically well to achieve what they did last season, but in order to remain competitive we must freshen things up around the place. Now before any fans or other managers get any ideas, last seasons front two will be staying put, Martinez and Gnabry will be remaining Galaxy players for the foreseeable future. However, I can provide a list of those who would be subject to a move, if the right bid was to come in:

Denis Suarez - Spanish - CAM - 79 Rated next Season

Fabio Borini - Italian - Forward - 76 Rated next Season

Benjamin Henrichs - German - Right Back - 76 rated next Season

Michael Keane - English - Centre Back - 79 Rated next Season

Now, not all of these players will be able to leave without us bringing in new faces - squad levels dictate this - but providing valuations are met, we see no reason why these lads can't leave the club."​
