Good afternoon! In this Deep Dive, I am going to be looking more into the teams and see which route they may look to be going in the S22 Draft that just opened up! Of course, I am interested because I am in it, but hey, let's take a look! I am going to split the league in half as well as it'll be easier to write for me :).
-------------------------
CA Buenos Aires
Player they could target in S22: Killua Zoldyck jr
Overview
Buenos Aires is in a very interesting position as they have a majority of their main pieces in their squad (Khabiri, Fiachra, O'Leary) coming up on regression. Last campaign, Buenos Aires was 6-4-8 for only 22 points which put them 6th in the league. In the last two drafts, they have focused on CD and also bolstering their midfield. With their strikers coming up on regression, it would not surprise me at all if they end up going Striker here to have that waiting in the wings as they do not have a natural striker waiting in their Academy.
-------------------------
Tokyo SC
Player they could target in S22: Tlacaelel Tepoztli
Overview
Tokyo is a team coming up on the rise. They have a solid core, but just waiting on a lot of their players to develop. They are still maybe a season or two away, but I like the direction they are heading. Looking at their squad, I am seeing Adamu and Ibruh both coming up really hitting a wall soon. That is two positions that I could see as a position of need in the draft. In their academy, I am seeing a lot of midfield players, so targeting a LWB or more offensive player could be of interest to Toyko here. Will there be any Strikers to choose from?
-------------------------
Hollywood FC
Player they could target in S22: Mikko Rashford IV
Overview
Hollywood ended 4th in the league, only 9 points back of the leading Reykjavik United. The big difference from what I see is th efact that they could not score goals. 44 goals in 18 games compared to 7 more by the top team in the table. They need more offensive attacking players to go with Klose who is coming up on regression. This is a super high earning team, but need to put it all together. They even have 5 players over 1,000 TPE in the Academy with 3 others that are right around the corner. This team is very stacked, so where do they even go? The last 2 drafts, they have taken all midfielders and a Keeper, so let's take a look at a CD/ST for Hollywood.
-------------------------
CF Catalunya
Player they could target in S22: Resetti Moretti
Overview
Catalunya is a very young squad. They had a tough campaign as well only winning 2 games and losing 16 last season. They scored 25 goals which is 3rd lowest in the league. Looking at the Academy, they have 6 players in the S20 class, only 1 inactive in that bunch. They really spread out where they went on positions, so if I am Catalunya, I am taking the BPA. Good future, needs time to develop.
-------------------------
AC Romana
Player they could target in S22: Resetti Moretti
Overview
Romana was another squad right in the middle of the table, giving up more goals than they are scoring. On paper, they have a pretty solid squad, Blackman leading the entire team in TPE, but will be coming up on regression here shortly. The majority of this team is S18, so they are another team coming up and just looking for patience. In their Academy, I really like their S21 class, they have some really great users, so things to really build on there. When looking at what they have, I really think they're going to look at a CDM to replace Muller and be the rock in the middle of the park. That is the way I would go.
