Football Superstars

Time certainly flies when you’re having fun. It seems only yesterday that we were frantically checking teams and getting ready to kick off season one of the Superstar League.  In fact it was a month ago, which means we are now halfway though.  Good heavens!

It’s certainly been a busy few weeks, with the teams cramming in their matches but no-one has yet to take a clear lead in any of the divisions.

For those of you who haven’t been keeping track, the Superstar League is in fact two separate competitions - the 1130 and 730 leagues.  The 11-a-side league has twelve teams within a single division all vying for the top slot.  Meanwhile the 7-a-side league needed three divisions to hold all of the teams.

State of play

The halfway point signals the start of the transfer period when the teams are able to tempt over players from other clubs and freshen up their rosters.  The teams are already busy making the transfers and you can check out who is going where by checking the Superstar League forum.

The next few weeks are going to be extremely tense.  Just looking at the 1130 league and Echelon FC are sat at the top with 19 points.  They can’t afford to get comfortable there though, as AFC Tigers and Universal FC are both only two points behind, and both with a game in hand.

Division One of the 730 league tells a similar story.  This time it is the Tigers at the top of the table, with both Storm FC and Devils FC nipping at their heels from two points away.  Of these, it is Storm who have the game in hand, and with this week including a fixture between Storm and Devils then the things look very interesting indeed.

Meanwhile in division two, Redwhite United are gripping onto the top slot, but only by the skin of their teeth with only a goal difference of one holding second place TS Wiselka at bay.  Both teams will need wins this week if they wish to hold off Team Hungary who are dangerously close with only two points between them and first place.

Things are looking a little more clear cut in division 3, where SFC Spirits are sitting pretty with fifteen points, five points clear of second place Multiple Scoregasms who are being threatened by FC Nemean Lions who are only one point behind.

Keeping things moving

Of course, this is just how things stand now.  A lot can change within a seven days, with most teams having two matches to play per week.

We’ll be back to have a look at how things stand in a week once the transfer window has closed and the players are settling into their new homes.  In the mean time you can follow the action yourself by checking out the fixtures, results and tables through the Tournament homepage.
