The VFL Season 52 Super League
Division 2 - Team of the Season
GK - @Jaxson - Al Ain - We begin our Division 2 Team of the Season with a trip to the Middle East, it's Al Ain's very own Jaxson! Jax may not have left with silverware, but will be a key figure in Al Ain's Club World Cup campaign after a consistent and strong league season, securing 6 clean sheets, 48 saves, and 1 MOTM award in his 23 games played! His incredible reactions, solid focus, and ability to shape-shift into a brick wall have been crucial to Al Ain, and will continue to be crucial as we await next weekend! Great season my friend!
CB - @Bennett I 6 - Dinamo Zagreb - As we shift into the backline, we're back on the plane and we're over to Croatia to take a look at Dinamo Zagreb's very own Bennett I 6! Bennett has been a player who is still improving to this day, blossoming from a man just comfortable in the lower leagues of England, to now a defender who has been consistent in a 4 week season against tough opposition! The Zagreb man ends his league campaign with 2 assists, 8 clean sheets, 1 MOTM award and 46 possession wins in his 19 games played... helping Zagreb to become a top three defensive force in the division! Fantastic work, and well deserved!
CB - @EZ E 9600 - Al Ittihad - Next in the back-line, we're back in the Middle East and this time over to Al Ittihad to take a look at the gaffer, EZ E 9600! EZ may have had a disappointing final day, with his team missing out on the play-off spots by just a single point, but he can take solace in his own performances over the past 4 weeks. The defensive leader managed to secure 2 goals, 3 assists, 5 clean sheets, 1 MOTM award, and a whopping 69 possession wins in his 23 games played! A nice guy, an effective manager, and a well deserved placement in the TOTS. Congratulations to you mate.
CB - @CIaudio Ranieri - Odisha - To cap off our back three, we're here to take a look at a golden oldie, a Season 6 Champions League winner, it's Odisha's very own Claudio Ranieri! The veteran may have gotten older, but his consistent nature remains the same as he's involved in yet another title charge this season. Ranieri managed to pick up 1 goal, 6 clean sheets, 2 MOTM awards, and 88 possession wins in his 21 games played this season... a stat line that any defender could be proud to boast! He'll now suit up, ready to defy the odds again like he did 46 seasons ago as he looks to become a Club World Cup winner! Best of luck to you sir!
CDM - @Krause 117 - Gremio - We now begin to venture into our holding midfield area, and we're taking a trip to Brazil to take a look at Gremio's very own Krause 117! Krause was an easy pick for me in this TOTS, he's a player I've kept track off for the past few weeks now, and who can blame me! With 1 goal 3 assists, 7 clean sheets, 3 MOTM awards, and a whopping 113 possession wins in his 23 games played, he's been one of, if not the best CDM in the division! A strong player, a player attracting interest, and a guy I look forward to seeing explode positively in the Club World Cup next week. Congratulations, and good luck to you!
CDM - @kizmarlo - RB Leipzig - Next to Krause, we're over to Germany, Leipzig in particular to take a look at the Welshman, Kizmarlo! The Welsh OAP has finally found a home that fits his playstyle perfectly, allowing him to express himself in the CDM role in a way in which not only benefits the team, but allows him to get back to enjoying taking to the pitch! Kiz ends the league season with 2 assists, 6 clean sheets, 1 MOTM award, and 92 possession wins in his 20 games played... numbers which the man himself will not only be proud of, but will look to now beat next season! Thoroughly deserved, and a great building block for the upcoming World Cup! Congratulations Kiz!
RM - @SorrySmithy - Gremio - Next up, we're straight into those attacking midfield areas, and we're back to ol' Gremio to take a look at the stand-in manager SorrySmithy! Smithy has been a pillar of consistency for the club this season, not only as a player, but as a caretaker manager for the squad he's created and bonded with. He ends the season with 7 goals, 7 assists, 4 MOTM awards, and 73 possession wins in his 23 games played from the wide midfield area... a feat that not many people can do! Now, all focus and attention turns towards the Club World Cup. I wish you the best of luck Smithy.
CAM - @ADJ 96 - RB Leipzig - We're now heading into that #10 position, and it's a man we're no stranger to, its the formidable ADJ96! The Leipzig man has again provided another season of consistency, being the main catalyst for Leipzig's attack as he provided 19 assists for team mates around him! Not only was he the top assister in the league, but he managed to contribute with 3 goals and 6 MOTM performances also, giving him a stat line that even Iniesta could be proud of! A top season, a top bloke, and now, a Super League TOTS recipient. Congratulations brother.
LCM - @iAlyyyy x - Al Ain - Our final midfielder of the crop, and its a man from the last TOTW, it's Al Ain's very own dynamic midfielder iAlyyyy x! Aly has been a terrific player in that midfield engine room of Al Ain, operating mostly as a CM or advanced midfielder who is tasked with bridging attacks, and bridging attacks is what he's done! The main man of Al Ain managed to secure 9 goals, 14 assists, and 2 MOTM awards in his 20 games played, putting him in the top percentile of midfielders for the league. This is only a good motivational boost for the man, because if Al Ain are going to do the impossible and win that Club World Cup, they're going to need Aly to be top of his game. Congratulations again, top season!
ST - @zBlinchy - Celtic - We finish off our TOTS with the 2 goal threats, and where better to start than the man who put Celtic on his back, it's over to zBlinchy! The dangerman has been in top form again, smashing goals left and right to drag his team over the line and into the play-offs. With 25 goals, 5 assists, and 12 MOTM awards to his name, it's difficult to not put Blinchy into this XI. He's scored 61% of Celtic's league goals, and is a key reason as to why Celtic still have a chance at entering the Club World Cup next weekend... it's just going to need 1 more big performance. Best of luck to you Blinch!
ST - @Finchy I Stryda - Gremio - The final man of the XI, and it's of course back to Gremio one more time to take a look at their poacher, their gunman, it's Finchy I Stryda! Finchy has been on form every single week, never missing a beat, as he managed to score 22 goals in 21 games, while also sprinkling 5 assists and 5 MOTM awards on top of that! The vision to spot a mistake in an opposition goalkeeper, or the ability to keep pushing and motivate his team, it's clear as day how crucial Stryda has been for the past month. He'll now go into the Club World Cup with his friends at Gremio, and will be hoping to make a bit of history in the process! Best of luck to you sir.
