Then in round 33 West Coast Slammers wrapped up the season victory with a 6-3 win over Gold Coast Titans. Bayview FC was now guaranteed second position and a play-off for the final A-League spot.
Group 2
1 Everton_fc (P)
2 Pigeons FC
3 Zedarba
4 Jmaerson FC (P)
Group two would have to be one of the highest scoring groups with a massive 742 goals scored in season 13. Leading the goal rampage was group runner ups Pigeons FC with a healthy 66 goals largely due to M. Krilčević amazing efforts of topping the competitions goal scoring with 21 goals for the season. Player of the year was a tie this season with Pigeons FC player E. Albertsen and Jmaerson FC player D. Gudmundsen both coming out top with an average rating of 6.80
Season 13 was full of expectation and got underway on October 15th. It was a dream start for Zedarba with a 7-3 victory over little losers which well and truly set up there season. Round one also saw Black_Rangers start there woeful season with a 1-0 loss to glenmore park.
As the season settle into gear, so did group leaders Everton_fc and Pigeons FC. Round 7 saw a few upsets with Sydney_(AUS) managing to hold out a draw against Everton_fc, Pigeons FC fell to there first defeat for the season losing 2-0 to Faulconbridge Rovers while relief for Black_Rangers after winning there first game of the season 1-0 over Jmaerson FC.
After a two game losing streak for Pigeons FC and a couple of shaky matches for Everton_fc, Round 9 saw both clubs find their form again with a 4-0 and a 6-0 win respectively.
Jumping to the business end of the season, round 33. Coming into this round saw Everton_fc and Pigeons FC separate themselves from the rest of the field with a more than comfortable gap over 3rd and 4th. Round 33 also brought an exciting “match of the round”, Everton_fc vs Pigeons FC. With the winner almost certain of being promoted both clubs were as eager as ever. After a hard fought 90 minutes honours were split after a 1-1 draw meaning that round 34 would decide the season for these two clubs.
The situation was simple and clear for Everton_fc, win – and be promoted, lose or draw – and their fate was left in Pigeons FC hands. As it turned out Everton_fc won 2-1 securing top spot while Pigeons FC also managed a 3-0 victory. The group table finished with Everton_fc finishing on top with 72 points while Pigeons FC just falling short on 71 points. What an intriguing finish to season 13 it was.
Group 3
1 Bora Juniors
2 Queensland 1859 (R)
3 OOHYEAH
4 SL Helfica (R)
In group 3, season 13 was the year to be for Magenta’s O. Bowden who took out player-of-the-year with an average rating of 7.06; however O. Bowden wasn’t able to inspire his team enough to really threaten top spot. Bora Juniors were clear winners finishing on 64 points while 2nd, 3rd and 4th were decided by a whisker. Queensland 1859 managed to just hold onto 2nd position and walk into an A-League play off with 58 points. Third and Fourth places were taken up by OOHYEAH and SL Helfica who both narrowly missing out on A-League chances with 57 points each.
Despite a little hiccup of a losing streak during mid season, Bora Juniors well deserve to be promoted after successfully bouncing back and finishing on top. Season 13, however, was a season of missed opportunities for SL Helfica. After looking strong and certain for an A-League promotion chance they squandered it. With only 4 rounds remaining in the season, SL Helfica weren’t able to win any of them, opening the door for Queensland 1859. The season, however didn’t end without any drama. In round 34 Bora Juniors were certain for promotion, however Queensland 1859, OOHYEAH and SL Helfica still had a chance. In the opening game of round 34, Queensland 1859 went down to Bora Juniors 1-0. This meant that a win to either SL Helfica or OOHYEAH would mean knocking Queensland 1859 out of second leaving it open to either club. Unfortunately for them they both lost. SL Helfica going down 2-1 and OOHYEAH losing 3-0. As these two clubs reflect on a season of missed opportunities, Queensland 1859 still have a chance of making the A-League.

Potential Division 2 Teams for “A League”
With the season moving quickly it is time to cast our thought to the Division 2 teams that are vying for a spot in the pinnacle of our sport in Australia, joining a select few professional managers at the peak “A League”. There are only three guaranteed spots and 54 Division two teams vying for them. Three addition spots will be available but Division 2 teams must contest an end of season duel with three teams from “A League” who are trying to keep their tradition alive. This is a one chance winner takes all contest “A League” teams that will be contesting this duel will not give in until after the 90th minute being totally aware of the task ahead if they fail.
I have gone through many an hour of team lists, facts and figures eventually interviewing a select few fortunate teams before producing my assessment on the “ Best of the Best” teams in Division 2 who I believe has the potential to make it to “ A League” season 14.
Division 2.1
There are two Banned clubs in this group. These teams are Gold Coast Titans and Bennyboi both clubs are doing well unfortunately creating a gap between the clubs that are fighting out the top three and the rest.
West Coast Slammers
This team is one of the original teams in Australia , very experienced and has been in a rebuilding faze that looks like finally bearing some fruit. West Coast Slammers lost its first match in seven games in round 23. Financially are very rich. They have gone down the line of youth development and have done it well. Having a 60 player squad is a big concern to me with 14 juniors between the age of 18-22 in the team that have less than 100 asi these players should be put on the transfer market as they will never play well in “A League” or 2nd Division and only drain the clubs finances. Having a senior average of only 8.82 puts a lot of pressure on his junior players to do well each match. West Coast Slammers is a club that has solely Australian players no Internationals; this is a wasted opportunity as the International market has a broad range of top quality players that are sadly being overlooked. This is one area West Coast Slammers will need to revisit if he wants to be a success in “A League” in the future. West Coast Slammers are the weakest in defense and with their finances it would be a great time to purchase two quality International defenders from the transfer market. But over all as a team West Coast Slammers has great youth, ok senior players, money, and experience in management and will find themselves on top of Division 2.1 and in “A League” next season.
Bayview FC
Bayview FC is the only promoted team that has a chance to make the top 2 in Division 2.1. A rich club that has been around for at least 6 seasons. Remained in Division 3 for four seasons and has ageing players, two of these players retiring at seasons end. A senior average over 30 and no youth coming through youth development. This season is Bayview FC last chance at “A League” as this team will go backwards before going forwards. I believe if Bayview FC makes the playoffs they will be soundly beaten against one of the “A League” teams. The clubs youngest senior player is 26. In round 23 Bayview had a shock loss to 13th place Gerrard FC with this type of form Bayview will find it difficult to finish in the top 2. I do not believe Bayview will make the top 2 this season just missing out.
Ansur Villa
Has an ageing squad senior average just over 30 but is developing youth well enough to cover the loss of senior players. Has been active putting older players on the transfer market reducing the overall age of its squad. Have good youth in the positions of Goal Keeper and Defense. Ansur Villa has a few youth that will never play well in “A League or Division 2 and need to place these players on the transfer market. Is financial rich and has a manager that has been around for at least 6 seasons. Has room for 2 international players and with the club being rich should look at the NT sales. I believe with Ansur Villa having good experienced management a solid senior squad with a sprinkle of very good youth the ability to recruit 2 international players Ansur Villa will finish 2nd and is the club I believe may gain entry into the “ A League” if they draw the weakest “A League” team in the knock out match at the end of the season.
Division 2.2
Glenmore Park
Glenmore Park financial position is astonishingly rich. They have been in Division 2 for four seasons. Glenmore Park has a great senior playing age of only 26.5 average skills 10.08. Currently is very inconsistent with a mixed win loss ratio. Is developing it’s youth but it is in the early stages. I believe this team needs 3 good Australian players in the positions of OML, DC and FC and with the finances could obtain them quickly. At the moment not a team I believe will make the top 2. Will spend another couple of seasons developing their youth and then will be reading to challenge “A League”.
Zootsiut
Zootsiut is in a rich financial position, has been around for at least 6 seasons. The senior squad is getting a little old with the average playing age of almost 31. Has a strong developing youth squad, having four under 22 players which could make the cut now. Recently been on a winning streak but with his current Keeper will see this coming to an end. Needs a better Keeper and one more good FC before this team can challenge for the top 2.
Everton FC
Great defense very hard to get goals against this side only had 3 losses this season but finds it difficult to score itself. Has played for over 6 seasons, had limited success developing youth, and is currently drawing to many games. Everton FC has 4 - U22 players that could currently make most teams. Does the smart thing propping up the team with International player’s. Everton FC senior squad has a playing average of just under 30. Has limited chances in attack. No OMR or OML in its squad and with limited funds will struggle to make top 2 this season.
Zedarba
This club was runners up last season in division 2 but lost to one of the “ A League teams in the knock out game. Average senior age is only 27 this club has been around for at least 8 seasons has good keepers and enough depth to cover any injuries to main keeper. Zedarba is not successful at youth development but covers this with very good international player recruitment. Zedarba has only two players over 33 and a senior average of 10.56. The biggest problem for this club is it has no finances and will struggle with player replacement. If this team has minimal injuries due to the talent in international players and the average age of the team I believe Zedarba will get over the line to finish 2nd , but will not be competitive against the side from “ A League” it plays at the end of the season in the knock out round.
Pigeons FC
The club has been around for at least 5 seasons it has spent the past 3 seasons in Division 2. It is a very rich club, having a good mix of seniors and youth. Is currently developing youth. Three players are ready to play now but the rest still need another season to develop. Pigeon FC has an average senior age of 30 and average skills of 10.44. Pigeons FC have one retiring player. The club have great players up forward but a little loose in defense and needs to tighten this area of its game. To compete in “ A League” next season will require two good Australian signings in this area. Pigeons FC have seven players over the age of 33. But very good internationals. I believe with the standard of this clubs International players, its forward structure and ok defense Pigeons FC will finish top of Division 2.2 but to survive in “ A League” more than one season money must be spent on Australian defenders.
There is another 5 teams in this group who are close to the clubs above but I do not believe are serious contenders in nudging out any of the teams I have mentioned.
Division 2.3
Watsons Stingrays
Been in the system around 10 seasons, has really good finances but this is needed to replace its ageing International players. Watsons Stingrays are strong in youth development and has a good striker, tight defense but an ageing OML who needs to be replaced. This team’s midfield is brilliant and the club is heading in the right direction but will not make top 2 this season. Watsons Stingrays being the team on the improve next season.
Bora Juniors
Average age 29, great skills of 10.81 is in a really good financial position. Has very good youth development. This team has a big weakness in the DR position needs a talented DMC to replace the retiring Donatelli. This season Bora Juniors will finish 2nd but wont make “ A League” as current teams in it are too strong for the Bora Juniors to defeat. Will fight it out next season for the top 2 spots with Watson Stingrays.
SL Helfica
SL Helfica is another relegated team from “ A League” last season. Been in TM for over six seasons. The clubs finances are wealthy but they need a top Goal Keeper, average senior age is 30 with a skill level under 10 currently around 9.81 which will need improving. Not successful with youth development but covers this with good International players needs an OML, top GK, Striker and has no quality MC. I believe due to the requirement of this team still needing a few good players and no youth development SL Helfica will not make the top 2 at seasons end.
Queensland 1859
Queensland 1859 is a rich club having the benefit of 10 years management experience. Very good youth development heading this list is D/DMR Price and Scottland, Ring DC and Baldwin OML. Have good players in all positions no weaknesses and a strong GK. Has room for two Internationals in its team one of these should be a good striker. The team’s average age is only 26.3 with skill level at 10.09. Due to the strength of youth the evenness of the senior players and the money to purchase what is still required Queensland 1859 will be 1st in Division 2.3 heading back to “ A League”
In 2.3 the competition is very even and I could have talked about several other clubs but none of these will challenge for top 2 this season due to inconsistent form.
Summary
So in summary it will be an interesting 10 weeks
Teams to be promoted
2.1 – West Coast Slammers
2.2 – Pigeons FC
2.3 – Queensland 1859
2nd Spot
2.1 – Ansur Villa (Will make “ A League” if playing weakest team in knock out)
2.2 – Zedarba (Will be beaten in knock out match with “ A League” team)
2.3 – Bora Juniors (Will be beaten in knock out match with “ A League” team)

Division 2
Well at this early stage (round 9 of 34) it is shaping up to be a great contest for the promotion positions into the A-League. To challenge any of the A-League teams you will need to have a strong squad and you have to do your research. At this early stage of the season the Division 2 side will have one goal only; “getting into the A-League”. But as the season progresses the teams will change their tactics and decide either; 1. to try new things for next season (ie. Formations, styles, ect). Or 2. Building their side to challenge the mighty A-League sides. Most of the team will choose option 1, because they will have very little change in promotion. But as for those teams at the top, they will be trying to build their youth and buy some good foreigners so that their team will be up for the challenge of Australia’s top division.
But that is still a long way off and all the teams would be worrying about now is winning matches. So lets have a look at the season performances so far.
Division 2.1- http://trophymanager.com/league.php?liga1=2&gurli1=1&country=au
Ansur Villa is out in front with a handy 2 point buffer back to second placed team; Bayview FC. The middle ladder positions look to be well fought out over the course of the season with only 6 points separating third from fourteenth. It most certainly hasn’t been a great start for the hawks who are sitting at the bottom of the table with no wins and only 2 draws; their season looks to be over as their goal difference is appalling, (-26)!
The season started only the 15th of October; with Brighton United starting their season from on top after a 3-0 win over the Kolbe Raiders. West Coast Slammers and The Unleashed both had 2-0 victories over their opponents, whilst Ansur Villa and SS LAZIO both had opening wins.
Round 2 saw the start of the hawks woes after getting thrashed 5-1 by the Gold Coast Titans. Gerrard F.C found their feet after a 3-0 victory. The match of the round went to the Weddgies Wombats 3-2 victory over the Oxford Diamonds. An amazing 27998 fans packed into the Kassam Stadium and they got their moneys worth… The Oxford Diamonds had the worst possible start after losing G Rokkas to a Red Card in the 7th minute, despite this the Oxford Diamonds seemed to have the match under control after C. Eddy put the Diamonds in front 2-1 on the 39th minute, but the Wombats managed to equalise before the main break. On the 57th minute a Volatile double put the wombats in front 3-2 and they managed to hold on until the end of the match. Wombats’ midfielder; R. Eaton got a perfect rating of 10 to receive Man of the Match.
Round 3 saw the kop stars thrash Lismore F.C. 7-0 away from home to get their season up and running; 2 of kop stars players managed a rating of 10, and three people scored 2 goals each. It most certainly wasn’t the best match for Lismore F.C. goal keeper, A. Molchaoff who was one of two players to receive a rating of 1. Brighton United made it 3 from 3 after a 1-0 victory over the West Coast Slammers. Oxford Diamonds had another close one, going down to top team, Ansur Villa, 2-3.
Round 4 saw 3 big wins; SS LAZIO won 5-0 over the falling hawks, Bayview FC put their season back on track after a 3-0 win and the Gold Coast Titans had an away 4-0 win. There was also 3 0-0 draws.
Round 5 saw the Oxford Diamonds get their first win of the season winning 5-0 over the declining hawks. There were 4 0-0 draws. Ansur Villa had their first loss going down to the Flying Attack Porcupines FC 0-3 at home.
Round 6 saw the hawks have their second biggest loss of the season going down 0-6 at home against diamond user 'The Snakes'. Ansur Villa got back into form with a 4-0 away win.
Round 7 saw an upset victory by Weddgies Wombats getting up over top placed team Ansur Villa, and it was a big one the wombats won 4-0 away at Ansur’s home ground. The Unleashed also had a big victory over SS LAZIO, winning 5-0. Amazingly there was only 1 draw this round; the hawks managed a scoreless draw with the 8th placed team, Kolbe Raiders.
Round 8 saw no big wins Ansur Villa continuing along their merry way with an important 1-0 win. The hawks went down once again but not as severely, only 0-1. Weddgies Wombats played out a scoreless draw against Brighton United.
Round 9 wasn’t the best for Ansur Villa after playing out their first and only draw of the season so far. Lismore F.C. had a big victory over the hawks. And Weddgies Wombats had another 3-1 win over the struggling bennyboi, who have only had a solitarily victory in this season so far.
The round to come will see first placed team, Ansur Villa, come up against fifth placed team, West Coast Slammers. Weddgies Wombats have a more or less guaranteed 3 points when they come up to play the hawks.
Season 13 is looking to be the unlucky one for some, such as the hawks who are sitting at bottom looking for their first win of the season, will they ever get it??? Season 13 is looking to be a good one for Ansur Villa who are looking at getting into the A-League next season, but Ansur Villa will have to fight hard against Weddgies Wombats who have started well and are looking promising, Bayview FC will also fight hard sitting only 2 points back in second place.
My prediction is that the top two will be Ansur Villa and Weddgies Wombats but I am not sure in what order. And I think that the Oxford Diamonds are going to push hard late in the season to gain a top 10 position after a few early close ones’. And I think we all know who is going to finish last, but you never know, football is a weird game.
Division 2.2- http://trophymanager.com/league.php?liga1=2&gurli1=2&country=au
Division is a close fight, the group is split in 2; 1-6 and 7-18, the top 6 are only separated by 4 points, with everton_fc (who were Promoted last season up for division 3) sitting in top spot on 20 points, but Pigeons FC a nibbling at his bottom only 1 point behind. The bottom 12 are separated by 7 points, with Sydney_(AUS) sitting at bottom on 6 points. The two surprises so far this season are that 1. everton_fc are winning after gaining promotion last season, and 2. HAWTHORN are sitting just above relegation in 14th spot after been in the A-League the season before. This group also contains some of the considered “powerhouses” of Trophy Manager in Australia; Zedarba, Zootsuit and recently promoted Jmaerson FC.
Round 1 saw Zedarba have a massive 7-3 away victory over the well named little losers. Which included a hat trick from Zedarba’s M. Goss who ended up with Man of the Match. Surprisingly little losers had 4 more shots on goal but were unable to convert. The main reason for this victory was Zedarba’s goal shooting, out of 7 shots on target they scored 7 goals, the reason for this was that the little losers named M. Focroft a midfielder as their goal keeper, was this an act on purpose or did he have no other goal keeper to call up? Neither; little losers only have one goal keeper, a 17 year old N. Wanganeen with an ASI of 79, who was unfortunately injured at the time. Everton_fc started well with a 2-1 victory over Jmaerson FC. Second placed Pigeons FC won 4-0 and Faulconbridge Rovers played out a close one against ChevalierBiliskner, winning 3-2. HAWTHORN continued on last seasons problems going down 0-1.
Round 2 saw a high scoring 3-all draw. Toowomba titans FC won their second match of the season 3-0 away taking them to the top of the table.
Round 3 saw Pigeons FC winning 4-1 over Jmaerson FC taking them to the top of the table. Toowomba titans FC went down at home to Bart's Club 0-1. ChevalierBiliskner had another win, 3-0 at home. HAWTHORN went down yet again.
Round 4, Pigeons FC were looking solid at the top after an away 4-0 win, Toowomba titans FC was back on the winning side winning at home 3-1. HAWTHORN had their first win of the season winning 2-1 at home over the little losers. Jmaerson FC also had their first win, 2-0 over eighth placed team Beast County.
Round 5 saw everton_fc win 1-0 over Beast County. Faulconbridge Rovers won away 3-1. ChevalierBiliskner won 4-2, but the match of the round went to the 3-all draw between Pigeons FC and Toowomba titans FC; 26601 fans turned up to Pigeons FC’s home ground to see the 3-3 draw. C. Atwell scored on the 17th minute and yet again a minute later to put the Toowomba titans in front 2-0 on the 18th minute. Pigeons FC came back late in the first half, but on the 51st minute the Toowomba titans FC seemed to have the match wrapped up after going up 3-1. But the Pigeons FC fought hard reeling the score back to 3-2 four minutes later. On the 68th minute M. Krilčević equalised bring the scores to 3-3. Both teams fought a fair battle to the final whistle but neither team were able to come away with full points. No cards were handed out and Pigeons FC, MR T. Abdullah was awarded Man of the Match.
Round 6 saw the Toowomba titans FC play another great match, winning 4-1 at home. Pigeons FC won 2-0 and everton_fc also won.
Round 7 saw the little losers win 3-1 and the Toowomba titans FC won yet again.
Round 8, HAWTHORN had a big win over ddr 4-1 at home, Zedarba won 2-0, then everton_fc and Toowomba titans FC played out a 1-all draw.
Round 9 saw Pigeons FC win 4-0, seeing T. Abdullah gaining his second MoM of the season. Everton_fc had a big win over the little losers 6-0 away. But still HAWTHORN’s run of bad luck continues going down in the 70th minute; 1-0 to Bart's Club.
My Predictions are that little losers will be relegated and will get the wooden spoon. The top 3 will be; 1. Pigeons FC, 2. toowomba titans FC and 3. everton_fc. I think that everton_fc run of bad luck will come to an end and hopefully for HAWTHORN they can find a bit of luck in Season 13.
Division 2.3- http://trophymanager.com/league.php?liga1=2&gurli1=3&country=au
At the early stage of the season it looks to be a competition between two teams, fighting for promotion. Queensland 1859 are out in front on 19 points and yet to lose a match, he was relegated from the A-League last season and will be looking to get back in amongst the top teams. 1 point behind is OOHYEAH who is 2 points clear from the rest of the field. Between places 3 and 18 there is only a 10 point difference with SL Helfica, another recently relegated club sitting in 3rd spot. Budgedy Reds are in last place but there is still a long way to go, MILO MAGIC, a pro user, is sitting 1 point above him in 17th place.
Round 1 saw Dellis FC start their campaign in division 2 after recently gaining promotion, Dellis FC had a solid 2-0 win at home over the only diamond user of the group, FC BiTE ME!!!. OOHYEAH also got of to a good start with an away win over recently promoted FC Brisbane Strikers, the score there was 3-1. SL Helfica got off to a great start winning away 3-0 over Magenta. But the best was GooSynk who absolutely thrashed Perth Glory FC 7-1, to make this even more amazing it was an away win, striker F. Askew was the key, scoring 6 goals (a double hat traick!). Bora Juniors won 2-0 and Kedron FC had a 3-2 win over BH-FANATICOS.

Round 5 saw GooSynk get up late in the second half over Magenta winning 3-2. Bora Juniors and Watson's Stingrays both had away wins.
Round 6 saw Kedron FC get up 4-0 away against MALA FC. There were 4 1-all draws and a 2-all draw between MILO MAGIC and Budgedy Reds. GooSynk had an away win over Bora Juniors, 3-1.
Round 7 saw Dellis FC get up 3-1 away against MILO MAGIC, there were 5 draws and Magenta won at home 3-0. Bora Juniors and Kedron FC were the others to enjoy success this round
Round 8 saw Queensland 1859 get a big win over MILO MAGIC. There were, yet again, 5 draws. OOHYEAH won 3-1 at home and FC BiTE ME also enjoyed a home win.
Round 9 was the most entertaining round so far, as goal were concerned. IceHole FC won 4-1 away against MILO MAGIC, who are seeing their season fall in front of their eyes. Queensland 1859 won 2-0 as did the Budgedy Reds, thus getting their first win of the season, but still sitting in last place.
My prediction is that Queensland 1859 will easily take the title and that MILO MAGIC will continue their run of bad luck in season 13 and they will get relegated into division 3. I am also pretty certain that Budgedy Reds will also get relegated.
So good luck to all teams in Division 2 and I hope that Season 13 if lucky for you. There are a lot of interesting battles shaping up and we well be looking forward to this. Also a bit of housekeeping; if anyone in division 2 is interested in writing an article like this for TM Australia, please get in contact with me.
