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.

XFA Season Round up

The Season has come to an end. We have seen tears of joy and tears of sadness. The stars of tomorrow has shown themselves over the last 21 days while yesterdays stars are walking out the back door. 

As all the players go on a well deserved vacation the rest of us will round up on the many

 matches we have seen this season. Surprises aswell as expected results.

The XFA Premier League ended with what was expected. Excellent FC J-Ilves took the championship again, making it a hat-trick.

And not to anybodies surprise, Woking went on to claim second place for the second time in a row. 

Relegating clubs will be HughDemen, Clockwork Orange, JK Tallinna Piraaja and Parkside Football Club.

I think we are all a little surprised to se JK Tallinna Piraaja go down.

In the Championship FK DAC 1904 had no problems showing everybody how it is done. 48 matches won out of 76.

Calcium Santos 1.1b settled in well and took the second promotion place while 3rd and 4th spot had some struggling to do, before they finally secured their promotion.

Going down this season will be some well known names. Dundee FC, Spam City, Braggs babes, 11 Sexy Wizards, Kapuk Utd and Fluminense Ska.

The surprise this season is Burnley Lads finishing 10th. I had them on as title contenders. 

Going up from XFA Divison 1A cannot be a surprise to many. Wigan Athletic FC won the league and will be taking FasTeam with them into the Championship. There was not many points between the top teams, so we should expect a great fight for the title next season.

XFA Divisoin 1B was a bit more intense with teams fighting for every point. In the end it ended up with Steaua Alexandria and Freelancers going up. Brayton fc will most likely not be going anywhere as they managed to lose all 60 matches.

In XFA Division 1C it was no surprise that Dyslexic Academicals took first place. It is an excellent team, and I expect to see a great performance in the Championship next year. Going up with them will be Capetas Team, sending BRESIL down to third. This league is full of excellent teams, which are fighting for the spots, so I will not be betting on a winner here for next season. We also had a record with 64 loses in a row by Worsley Woods FC.

In the youth department, where XFA is showing of their promising future there was no real surprises.

JK Tallinna Piraaja was a clear winner with AZ Bruntsfield in second and Angels Advocate in third. The great once form of Mumbai Town XI ended up in a 6th place. Will they be able to pick them selves up for next season?

XFA U19 League was won by FOOTBALL KILLER with FK DAC 1904 in second place. XFA U17 League was also won by FOOTBALL KILLER with Mental Militia taking second place.

To no surprise, FC J-Ilves succes did not just end with the league as they also was victories in the XFA Premier Cup, beating OM Corleone 0-1 in the finale.

The XFA Non-Premiership Cup was won by FK DAC 1904 by beating Calcium Santos 1.1b 3-1 in the finale. A Truly great year for manager David Pasztor. 

During this break away from the season we will also be finding out, which players actually performed on such a high level they deserve some appriasal, so stay tuned for the next XFA follow up.
