📊 VPN’s American Clubs League - PS | Szn.30 | East Division 1 | Week 1 | Review 📰
1) Fifa 🎮🍺 Holicz (2 • 0) - Even though they loss in the eastern division title game last season, they've earned enough respect to be considered early title favorites again.
With a constant target on their back, they know to expect every teams best efforts each game.
The schedule makers handed out a Halloween treat early for the viewers. A rematch between the Szn.29 division finalist, Holicz & InFamous Ones.
It was a defensive battle but FHz found a way with one minute remaining in stoppage time.
A cross from Game7Bron found ExeTTV backpost but the ball bounced off his chest, to InFamous Ones CB — Puchis chest, and before he could control it, Ozil2k was there for the tap in game winning goal. In there second match they played against Nemesis and won 3-0.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Ozil_2k, Game7Bron, Exequiel, Evo21
2) Looney Goonz 🐷 (2 • 0) - For a team fresh off promotion to Division 1 theres no better way to announce your arrival than by getting two opening night victories.
One of their wins came from another newly promoted club — Lomas Del Este, who they beat 3-1, followed by a 2-1 win against Fusion FC.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: jparra, iJack11, x-Lenglet, D_j2777, x-Salah, BajanBatman
3) DANZ (1 • 1 • 0) - They're not loaded with a bunch of big name players so whatever they lack in clout, they make up for it with well organized defensive tactics and counter attacking ability.
Leading the way for them is one of the most underrated strikers in the league — LuisitoEstrada, and his partner PelucheVz.
The pair contributed heavily in a 3-1 win vs Dreamteam XI and a game saving 1-1 draw vs Olympus.
Week 1 Impact Players: You guessed it. The aforementioned LuisitoEstrada & PelucheVz
4) Prolific ⚽ Futbol (1 • 1 • 0) - Retooled and ready to make a push for another title with the arrival of two key centerpieces.
Diamondz makes his way from Anonymous to control the backline for Prolific.
In attack, Chesco leaves the crazy train in El Paso to fill the void left by Mo-7's move up to play striker.
They passed their first test with a 2-0 win vs Fatal XI, but was held scoreless in the next match vs Muscle Sharks.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: FraserCov, Mo7, Ammar, DoX
5) Olympus ⚔️ (1• 1 • 0) - Returning from a three season hiatus to a new landscape of competition will be a welcomed challenge for the four time cup winners.
Their first test of this season is Kingz XI. If you watched the Infamous vs Holicz match, this one was similar in a way that it was a "whoever scores first, wins" kind of game.
It was tough for both sides to create clear cut chances, but ElTigre found a way, by flying through the air to head home a cross in the fourty fourth minute.
As the saying goes, "you're most vulnerable right after you score" and this proved to be true. On the ensuing kickoff, Kingz Xl made a pass over the top, that was blocked at the edge of the box, then recovered, and quickly shot at what was an empty net, before DeAndre__Yedlin hustled back to make a goal line clearance save. Olympus went on to win 1-0 and draw 1-1 to DANZ in their second game.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Tigre, Logan, Leo, Moodz, Yedlin
6) World 🌎 Class (1 • 1 • 0) - Besides not losing, what's a better morale boost for your team other than beating the defending champions in one of your first two games to start the season?
Well, that's exactly what happened when World Class faced InFamous Ones in their second game of the night.
The Honduran strike duo — Dopee & Matatan put together a nice 1-2 combo that ended in a first time shot and goal for World Class. Prior to this game, they got a 1-1 draw vs Kingz XI.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Matatan, Dopee, Kiam, ErickHTX
7) Cosa Nostra United🕴️(1 • 1) - With some new and notable names joining the team, CNU have their eyes on the prize.
After missing out of finishing in the top eight last season, KidDro decided to upgrade his team in positions of need.
Luzcvndo & Sarkozy pairing with Jaytee up front. Cheeky_Vision to help control the midfield, and ImSavagerr to continue his growth as a CB with a lot of potential.
The new signee's didn't waste anytime making an impact.
With Luzcvndo scoring two goals, Sarkozy scoring one, and Cheeky providing two assist, they go on to win 3-2 vs Fusion FC. Unfortunately for them, they loss their other game 1-0 to Nemesis.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Luzcvndo, Chander19, Sarkozy, Cheeky,
8) Thunderducks 🦆 (1 • 1) - After a 1-0 win over Dreamteam XI, and 2-1 loss to Fatal XI, the ducks find themselves barely above (playoff line) water.
Five teams gained promotion to the first division of ACL this season. Two of them are currently in the top eight.
It'll be interesting to see where they end up after tonights games.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Brendaaan, pmflores, MONSTER-MK-9, Nico_ThePun1sheR
🔻 Honorable Mentions 🔻
9) Fatal XI 💀 (1 • 1) - You never know what version of this team is going to show up on matchdays.
They have the appeal to attract top talent but its what you do with it, that makes the difference.
Being only three seasons removed from their last ACL title, and a roster capable of competing with the best the league has to offer, this team should be a strong contender when its all said and done.
But for now, they have to rebound from a 2-0 lost to Prolific, and build on the 2-1 win they got from Dreamteam XI.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: NDIDI, EL_B1CHOO, Ronaldo_Skills, Berserk
10) Nemesis XI 🐺 (1 • 1) - Scroll up and read the first two statements about Fatal XI again, because that also applies here.
They finished in tenth place last season and missed the playoffs.
For more irony, the last time they made the playoffs in ACL was the same season (27) Fatal won the title.
Fast forward to season (30) where they recently loss 3-0 to Holicz, and won 1-0 vs Cosa Nostra, and you still wont have a clear sense of what direction this team is going in.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: ElTanke, Fergo69
12) Kingz XI 🦁 (0 • 1 • 1) - After losing to Olympus 1-0 and drawing 1-1 to World Class, "The Money Team" are off to a shaky start.
With that being said, they still have one of best rosters in the league, so it wouldn't be a reach to say that this team could stack up a lot of wins throughout the season, (IF) they can stay together.
When your starting lineup includes players like chrisrey, Alexis10, Gavin, Crazzy10, FearEsco, etc. you can expect at least a top eight finish + playoffs, right?
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Andres7, chrisrey
15) InFamous Ones❓(0 • 2) - This is definitely the most eyebrow raising name on the list right now. Mainly because of the position their in.
For the champions, "heavy is the head that wears the crown". The team (FHz) they beat in the eastern conference title game (won the league prior to them) was their first match of this season.
They had to replace both starting CB's (FearZ & FearEsco) from that title team for different reasons, so until the new pieces gel together, we may continue to see them stumble a little bit.
IO has never been void of quality players, and I can't remember the last time I seen them start a ACL season winless.
Even though I wouldn't consider a 1-0 loss to Holicz and World Class reasons for them to be worried, but it does make me interested to see how they rebound from this.
💥 Week 1 Impact Players: Pogba-06
