Predicted table/Team Strengths (Patreon)

I have added a new sheet on the team depth spreadsheet.

It can be found here under the "PlayerWatch" tab.

It gives a list of players I like for different reasons and puts them into 3 Types:

• Cap - Potential in Capped Division
• Upside - I see L40 improving
• Value - Good value 

I also have a column that gives my view on if they are a starter or not as a %

These are players who are less known and not meta like Notsuda and I'm looking through a rare scarcity lens.

As always this is just my opinion and hopefully helps in decision making. There are lots of other players that could make it on this list so dont worry if a player is missing etc 

You can find my general capped player watchlist here . I have been adding a few more players I like for their price points. Depth is going to be key in maximising rewards in capped mode regardless of scarcity.

Predicted Table

On the same tab there is a end of season predicted table.

I found putting together the table very difficult and kept shuffling teams around. In the end, I decided that what was more important than the precise final position of each team, was the general area in the table I saw each team fighting for.

This is reflected in the general grades I have given each team.

Again this is mean to very general guide and I expect my own predictions will change after the first few GWs and we see how teams are doing eg newly promoted clubs.

J League News

We got the news that Santana, Gonda and Matsuoka will remain with Shimizu (J2) next season. This is of course not for holders of these players as utility is reduced. Shimizu do look very good for promotion and I also wouldnt be surprised if any of these players attract interest in the summer window.

Kagawa has also returned to Cerezo Osaka. I have mixed feelings about this transfer. He is one my favourite players from yesteryear and I love hes back in the J1 league. At the same time, im a little wary it could effect the formation and strategy of Cerezo is hes forced in.
