Book Maker's Corner:
By The Book Maker Derrick

Any budding book maker's and any established ones trying their luck at the Mafia Xpert League then look no further than the Book Maker's Corner. Book Maker Derrick has spent hours on end reviewing the teams, signings, retirees and youth talent to develop odds for you to make a calculated buck.

With the new league looking to start on 24th March everyone is looking forward to seeing how the new cup competition will look. Our sources are suggesting that this knock out competition will take place over 5, 2 legged, stages. Each draw is completely random with no teams being seeded. The obvious favourites are Motown FC but the Book Maker is warning you not to rule out any of the division 1 teams with their abilities only slightly below their premiera leagua counterparts. The book maker recommends an outside bet on Hoof Hearted FC with odds of 26/1 you cannot go wrong.

The league's look pretty much obvious with League Champions Arson Fire being favourites but the Book Maker's outside favourite to win this season is Ratty Corps FC at odds of 7/1.

The Book Makers Odds:

Primera Leagua:

Arson Fire - 4/1
Last seasons champions are rightly favourites to reclaim their crown. Arson were a formiddable force throughout the season and if they can keep Adnan Saranovic the 8 skilled forward firing on all cylinders and fit throughout the season there is no reason why they will not take home the glory again. 1 defeat in over a year bodes well for the side. Some do suggest however that the ferocity of the primera was lost last year and Arson were never really challenged. Might the introduction of Bambino and Ratty and the return of Phex Utd change that?

Coopers Troopers - 7/1
Coopers Troopers had an impressive season finishing 2nd last year behind winners Arson Fire. They look to be one of the strongest sides in the league, having an average skill of 6. Possessing possibly the strongest midfield in all 4 leagues, teams will find it difficult to break them down and after finishing strongly after a shaky start, could this be Coopers year?

Ratty Corps - 7/1
Some sections of the media are claiming that at 7/1 sporting fans should remortgage their houses to bet on these guys winning the league. After back to back promotions with ease from division 2 and 1 Ratty Corps are one of the most feared sides in the leagues. Their immense strength in depth, tactical prowess and excellent manager make them a mouthwatering prospect for the title. Could this be the strongest team in club football? However, with no experience in the Primera, some may ask is this the year they finally come unstuck.

Motown - 11/1
Ted's Motown have been the consistent performers in the Primera, after narrowlingly missing out on final day drama on the title 2 years ago Motown, eased their way to 3rd position last season. They will be looking to improve on this but with a 5 skilled team they are one of the weaker in the divisions. However, possessing an intelligent, experienced manager they will always remain a threat. - Svend Lowen the leagues star 9 skilled striker will need to carry them if they are to be successful.

Bambino Gausti - 18/1
Bambino suffered a poor start to last season which looked to threaten their promotion aspirations. With a few excellent results towards the end of the year they secured their back to back promotion finishing second to Ratty Corps for the second time. Most sections of the football world are considering them to be a strong challenger for the title however many do not believe this is their year to dominate. A strong cup run and a decent finish in the top half will probably be enough for manager Stringer Bell however captain Yigal Moyal and Xpert 11's best player at 10 skilled will have other thoughts on that.

Fashion Disasters - 25/1
Fashion Disasters had a poor end to last season and with a 5 skilled team it looks as though their luck might finally be running out as they look to hold off strong newly promoted opposition as the Primera standards intensify. Could they prove doubters wrong and make something this year?

Phex Utd - 30/1
After a colourful inaguration season, Phex Utd reigned supreme at the top of the Primera League. However with their manager exiled to native China, the champions slumped into the relegation zone. With the liquidation of Geo Patons East Kilbride side and resultant exclusion from the league, Phex Utd remained in the division. They are now officially the weakest side in the league at 4 skilled. But with the return of manager Joe Faine and the consistent form of aging Luther Ridler, can Phex Utd remind us of their former glory?

Appleseed 11 - 40/1
A start to last season saw The Appleseeders slump into the relegation, thanks to a couple of lucky wins during the business end of the season they stayed up by a cunt hair. We wonder how many times they can rely on star keeper Tamir Bakish this season? An outsider for the title and one of the favourites to go down.
