S5 Division II Awards
(written by @KZBZ)
The 5th Season of Simulation Soccer League was the probably the most intriguing so far. With 6 teams fighting for promotion from the 2nd Division, we saw some epic battles across the globe, from the favelas of Latin America to the streets of the UK. Montreal United, Adowa Accra, Buenos Aires and Inter London, coming from the Div I were the initial contenders for the first spots, but the newly created expansion teams, União São Paulo and Football Club Kaapstad, proved that they would not be push-overs.
After amazing performances from from all the teams, the promotions spots were uncertain up until the very last Game Day. In the end, after one of the most suspenseful game compilation, Accra and Sao Paulo celebrated their entrance to the highest SSL Division.
SSL Div II Manager of the Season
Winner: Managers Matty86/Laser - Uniao Sao Paulo @Matty86 @Laser
Starting their SSL Management journey with the best possible way Matty86/Laser gained promotion for their the Brazilian side of Sau Paulo. Playing attractive and solid soccer and keeping their side the most disciplined and focused one against any opponent, the Brazilian side made all of keeping notes about their tactical achievement.
SSL Div II Rookie of the Year
Winner: Lochlann O'ROurke @Legend
The lad from Galway had an excellent Rookie season for Cape Town, helping them to be close to the promotion spots up until the end.In 9.5 appearances, Lochlann managed to find the net 6 times, providing 1 assist and 10(!) key passes. Added to this, he showed no reason to respect the elder defenders, managing more than 1 Dribble per game.
SSL Div II Most Valuable Player (MVP) & Golden Boot
Winner: Konstantin Selich @Tomen
In his only 2nd Season in SSL, Konstantin Selich proved right the predictions that he is aiming for greatness. Achieving both MVP and Top Scorer awards, Selich looked unbeatable for the almost all the games he played. 9 goals, 3 assists, 4 PoTM, 7.85 average rating, more than 2 dribbles per game and 22 fouls against. All the above are just numbers that give a small hint of how magnificent a players like Selich was in season 5.
SSL Div II Golden Glove
Winner: Luke Laraque @Blix
Adowa Accra’s promotion story could have been a whole lot different, if there was not for the magical season that Luke had. His excellent athletism and commanding presense under the goal posts, were enough to rate him as one of the best goalkeepers in the league. Especially by the end of the season, Laraque 7.12 rating and 4 Clean Sheets, seem very little to actually show his promotion contribution.
SSL Div II Golden Eye
Winner: Rizzo Rigmarole & Aimo Tälli
6 Assists for those two magicians coming with very different ways. Aimo, playing for Buenos Aires for the past 4 seasons, showed excellent technique and vision, delivering his colleagues with the easy job of scoring. On the other hand, the pacey and athletic Rizzo surprised everyone and especially the opposition defence, with the speed and precision that proved to be game changers for Accra’s promotion.
