A new season brings new teams. Following the relegation of the north east based Durham Wasps, league II.3 has become a lot tougher. The new look wasps will be looking to be competitive and make a push for the playoffs, despite the manager downplaying the strength of the squad. HKStars is another new team, gaining promotion from league III. The Stars have chosen to promote young talent through the team and speculation from their fans suggest they may be focusing on building their arena.

Long time II.3 residents, BC Giants, will be strong again this season, despite a small squad. While Camborne Crusaders of the Big 8 Conference have made some interesting off season moves, the retention of big man Clint could prove worthy, although he appears to be perhaps looking for a new club.

Mexican Taxi Driver, Vector BC and Stiggs of the Great 8 all look like they will have a strong season as do the Big 8 teams Flaming Carrot Unit and Okija.

Who do you think will come out on top?

Excellent preview.

Definitely a new look Wasps. Sold almost an entire squad and bought a new (and by new I mean ancient) one. I feel BC Giants are the favourites right now. They'll feel they were last season's best team and so have to be regarded as the top team at the moment.

First game of the season is always one to look forward to. Good luck to everyone.

Nice preview mate. BC Giants really should have won last season but were hit with some huge injuries in the playoffs, if he maintains the team then they should have the top seed again.

I'm looking to cut down close to the salary floor with an All-England team. Clint is a great player but his salary is a bit much, amazingly he hasn't lost any primary skills since I bought him. If he doesn't sell this time around I will probably just keep him and sell one of my other bigs.

Okija replaced the botted Berinsfield Hornets so will not be in contention. Also our draft was pretty darn good, HOF and MVP 18yos went to T20 and Stiggs, I snatched up two of the top five guys picking 11th and my 3rd draftee was no scrub.

Should be a good season. I haven't been able to watch games live lately but I know yourself and Gully are usually on chat, bring it on!

Thanks Cranston. That's a good point about BC Giants, I forgot about his injuries. Wow that is amazing that Clint hasn't lost any primary skills. Francis looks like a very nice player, I hope he won't be destroying my team in the future! Looking forward to our game!

Great start to the season Gully!

Yeah. I'm a bit surprised to be honest. I thought I was a bit short in a couple of areas. Pleased with the start though. Having said that, its very early, and also I think the other conference has the stronger teams at the top, so at the moment I still have Bc Giants as the strong favourites to promote.

Pretty happy with an All-England roster, should be able to cruise to 5th and keep the same team next season.

What's up with your season Crossleyboy, aiming for a high draft pick?

I'm trying to save money whilst still being competitive, but I've not been very successful at the second bit :P
