The EBBL this season is there for the taking, it is a new day and the dominance of Tide of Fire is at an end, the sell-off this season has been dramatic for ToF and it looks like a complete rebuild with some training is planned for the next batch of NT players. There will for sure be a new winner of the EBBL but who will it be?

Durham Wasps, Sabre of Valiente, LIDLTallfellas, Los Mikitos, Pheonix Warriors, Doncaster Hawks, Bethnal Green Erks etc. All serious contenders and frankly, this list goes on. Everyone has a chance this season, but who will come up trumps in the end?

Durham was a strong contender last season but came up short battling injury against a very strong defensive team in Sabre of Valiente. Los Mikitos has a strong and formidable team which has proven capable of winning the tournament, can they maintain consistency to take the title? Doncaster were the surprise rookies to the league last season contending for playoff positions in their first season! Pheonix and Erks both have strong teams and are seasons EBBL veterans. Let us not forget the Tallfellas who having snapped up Big Mac from ToF have an inside lineup that is capable of holding the best, will they regain their title or will one of the others upset them? One thing is for sure, this one is going to be a fascinating one!

Poll:  Who will win the EBBL this season?

After a quick look I'll go for:
- Bethnell Green Erks (at a decent price?)
- Sabre of Val
- Durham Wasps

Bear inmind I'm a newbie in the EBBL though...

Prsonally avoiding last 3 places in Big 8 is my goal for this season :(

My boy Gully got this in the bag ^_^

Mikitos for me. He's already a proven winner. Top coach. Has to be someone from the wrong side for sure after being dominated for so long. Erkboy has a chance has does Carolina28 who impressed last season.

Sabre has the best team on our side. LIDL will be pleased that their money has been well spent on an English star and the tallfellas look like they're back.

Personally I don't see how I can be fancied with two old guys holding the inside places. Mac will be too fit and too young for those poor old lads.

Monkeys for me too. This season is the chance he's been waiting for. My team is too thin and the Big Mac purchase is more NT-oriented than EBBL-oriented but if I get a good cup draw who knows, Barker might finally win something.

I was really glad to see Mac stay in England

No welcome to the new teams Vecx? Booooo ;)
(nice win yesterday btw, pretty funny after selling Mac to LIDL you still beat him with what looks like 3 real players...)

I took 5.5 seasons to make the top division, which I'm myself declaring a record :D (cue relegation and taking 5.5 more seasons to get back here, ha)

So, I'm here. In the big boys division but not yet ready to mix it with them...This season is gonna feel long for me, and if I'm not careful I think I'm gonna make some dumb mistakes (but hey! I did just pick up an international C :p (he's not good)). Gonna try to find some fun somewhere...Probably focus on having a little cup run again?

I can almost convince myself that with a good season of training Burrows + Sousa (my first draftee + first ever bought player) can start alongside Kasperczyk next season (in d2) so I only need to find 2 starters and I'll have loads of EBBL attendence cash to find them, and I'll have an MVP+ decent trainee to start my next training cycle with. Maybe...

GL everyone.

Lol sorry, moving house at the moment, my internet use is very slow, sporadic, on the iPhone and therefore minimal sorry

I do apologize too. Welcome to all the new guns and good luck to all for the new season. ;)

I scraped into the EBBL with a week less experience ;)

So you did. 'Gratz, the record is yours :) Didn't realise you were also a pretty new manager.
