OFA League Recap

The second season of the Overnight FA brought about a new Championship division. It also saw an exciting title race that went down to the final games. The battle for safety was also a thrilling one to watch. Let's recap it.



After finishing runners up last season, Wilson Ng's Troopers finally got over the hump, edging out the Rookie's Leeds Knights by one point, and Kevin Barnes' C.F. Relleu by two points. Last season's champions Africa Proconsularis finished a very disappointing 5th. The manager of that team, Mary Krania, has left for EEFA. We wish her the very best.

Unfortunately, teams have to go down because of suckage, and there are three. The New Saints of Liverpool could not beat the drop, missing out on safety by one point. Red Devils USA dug themselves a hole early in the season and could not recover, finishing 15th on 24 points, and Anagennisi finished bottom on 19 points after an especially rough campaign. Anagennisi also left for EEFA at the end of the season and we also wish them the best of luck in their new FA.

A note on the table: If a team finishes higher than 65% AI, they are relegated. Thus, Sublime FC (4th), Aladdin (12th), and Granning UK (13th) will also be taking the drop.



FC Adelaide won the Championship in a bit of a runaway by 7 points and will be playing in the Premiership. Normally, 2nd and 3rd would also be up for promotion, but their poor AI % might leave them out. In fact, that leaves all but two teams left who can be promoted. 10th placed Chelsea Australia FC and 11th place Anfield Faithful. We will have to see what kind of ruling will be made, but smart money is on the teams with bad AI not being promoted.
