iLandslaget - Swedish team

[PeterMeter]

So, it's been an eventful first half of the season where most of the teams have performed according to the predictions. The Cup-exit for iLandslaget was a major blow as the team had been expected to at least make their way into the final 16. Even with the new seeding-system being a major talking point the manager has accepted full responsibility for the disappointing result, the team has more than enough quality to compete and should have done better.

The league has been an entirely different deal. iLandslaget have still gone unbeaten, the 1-1 draw with Glory United in Week 3 remains the only time the team has failed to gain the 3 pts. Narrow wins over the expected title challengers Romain FC (1-0) in Week 9, Totfoot FC (2-1) in Week 10 and JustLEET FC (2-1) in Week 12 have steered the team cleer of the hunting pack but the title is nowhere near secured.


Top scorer Gerailton Victor de Souza Rodrigues had a fantastic start to the season but the goals have since then seemingly dried up. Strikeforce partner Gary Clancy has plodded along at a more measured pace and has now totalled the same amount of goals, leading the standings at 15 goals each, they are closely followed by Jakob Buchardt (Totfoot FC) on 14 goals.
The assist league also sees Gerailton Victor de Souza Rodrigues of iLandslaget in the lead with 14 assists, followed by Jacob Buchardt (Totfoot FC) on 9 assists and Gary Clancy (iLandslaget) on 8 assists.
No real surprises as the leaders for the Best Form were revealed, though Jacob Buchardt of Totfoot FC leading at 8.38 followed by Gary Clancy (iLandslaget) on 8.3 and Gerailton Victor de Souza Rodrigues (iLandslaget) only coming in third on 8.15 will have fans thinking he might be a bit hard done by.

There's surely room for improvement in many of the teams but iLandslaget and it's fans will feel they have a more than decent chance of securing a firm grip on the first place going into the second half of the season.

The Champions League season has been what many expected, iLandslaget securing a place in the advancing two teams from the Group stages early on and losing only 2 pts, winning 5 games and drawing 1. The first knockout game saw iLandslaget drawn against Dark Demon FC, a french team of decent quality but there was little stress in the opening away tie where iLandslaget running out clear winners 7-0 with Jonathan Fullerton scoring a brace.

The team has been strengthened in most of the places the media pundits had expected and the first week saw a few sales as well, mostly to fund the new deals. The iLandslaget chairman once again proved his shrewd businessman accumen with a fair bit of wheeling and dealing.
Francesco Sforzin (4.37m), Jeffrey Ros (3.00m), Peter Besirevic (2.02) and Renee Schluter (1.67m) all left the team inside the first week. The team saw Martin Laba - DMC/DMR (3.87m), Bechir Bouzgarrou - AMC/AML (4.14m), Stanislaw Ochej - GK (1.74m), Tiago Valente - DL/DML (2.59m) and Alex Dos Santos - DC (2.95m) added in the first week to strengthen the team. The following weeks were quiet, up until today when Vaclav Kuchar, a czech MR/AMR was bought for 3.02m.

Lets hope the team can really kick on and add another two titles to the trophy cabinet.
FORZA iLANDSLAGET!
