A-League
Only a couple of the A-League clubs made new signings this preseason, and even than, only a couple of players. We don't expect the situation in the A-League to change much - there are a couple of teams fighting for the top places, than we have those in the golden middle, and then we have the few fighting to stay in the A-League for another season.
Premiership
The Premiership clubs didn't get involved much with the transfer madness this preseason. Although, this is fairly normal for them, since most of them try to sign younger players, instead of the older and already established players.
K-League
A couple of the K-League clubs signed players this preseason. Though of all of them, only fc olleh brought in two first team players - while the others didn't do badly, theirs were mostly brought in to bolster their youth teams.
Bangladesh Premier League
Surprisingly, the Bangladesh Premier League clubs don't do much in the way of bringing foreign players in. The big exception is FF Academy - they are the only Bangladesh Premier League club to sign a player this preseason.
Premier Division lanxingxing are the only ones that went on a true shopping spree this preseason. The question is, were the players they signed any good? Sydney Warriors were the other team that made some signings. Will the two challenge baobeiqiqi this season?
Super League
The few Super League clubs that were actively buying players, mostly brought in reinforcements for their youth squads, and not for their first teams. While on the long run, this isn't bad (at all), it won't do much for them this season.
Thai 1
We don't expect things will change much in the Thai 1 this season. While some of the clubs signed new player or two during the preseason, we don't see that making a huge difference overall.
Divizia Nationala
The top three Divizia Nationala clubs went on a spending spree this preseason, each signing several players. While some of the others also brought in new players, none to the same extent as the top three.
Divizia A
Somewhat surprisingly, the top Divizia A clubs didn't sign many players this preseason. This could be good for the league, as it would bring it even closer together, but it's doubtful it is good for last season's top clubs.
English Premiership
Most of the English Premiership clubs were actively trading players during the preseason. Though, not all of them were signing first team players, quite a few of them were actually reinforcing their youth squads.
Úrvalsdeild
The Úrvalsdeild clubs didn't get involved with the preseason transfer market madness. Though, with the teams getting close season by season, perhaps that's not a bad thing.
Premier Liga BiH
A bit surprisingly, the Premier Liga BiH clubs didn't get involved much with the transfer market this season. Though, since the league was pretty close last season, for those following the league, that isn't bad.
A Grupa
The A Grupa clubs largely ignored the transfer market this preseason. But does this mean Val United will remain undefeated for the third season in a row?
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Val United (64 points), 2nd - Lazio_1900 (54 points), 3rd - CSKA Sofia (51 points), 4th - Kazanlŭk Thracians FC (50 points), 5th - Vereya F.C. (47 points)• Promoted this season: The Hydrophobic Crucifiers, Dunav Ruse, Dugout United
Nemzeti Bajnokság
Only a couple of the Nemzeti Bajnokság clubs signed new players in this preseason, with the most prolific one being Paksi Sportegyesület. But will their efforts prove fruitful on the pitch this season?
Prva liga
Last season's top three all signed new players to augment their first teams. It will be intersting to see, if anyone can seriously challenge Paladin this season.
Prva SNL
The Prva SNL clubs are very active on the transfer market, including in the preseason. Most of them signed excellent first team players (including the three promoted teams) to compliment their squads - we are expecting another, extremely competitive season.
Eerste Klasse
Interestingly, while the Eerste Klasse clubs were quite active on the transfer market this preseason, last season's top two both signed new strikers, those in the bottom half mostly signed defenders, and those in between these two groups varied. While the Eerste Klasse was fairly close, the clubs were still roughly divided into four groups - the top two, from third to sixth, from seventh to ninth, and those that were in the relegation group. We'll soon see how the new acquisitions will mesh with their new teams, and which approach was the better one.
Superliga
Most of the Superliga clubs (including the three newly promoted teams) have been quite active on the transfer market this preseason. While the league was close throughout last season, there was a divide between the top two-three clubs and the rest of the league. We'll soon see who was most successful at signing new players.
Allsvenskan
The top Allsvenskan clubs brought in a player or two that can play in their first team. But most of the rest of the league stayed away from the transfer market this preseason.
Super league
A bit surprisingly, only FC Albisrieden signed actual reinforcements for their first team - the other Super league clubs mostly abstained this preseason.
Premiere division
The Premiere division clubs were fairly active on the transfer market this preseason (though, not all of them were buying). From the newly promoted teams, we see only The Black Pearl staying in the Premier division past this season.
Asociacion Boliviana de Futbol
Most of the top Asociacion Boliviana de Futbol clubs skipped the transfer list this preseason - we expect similar results as last season.
Campeonato Brasileiro
The Campeonato Brasileiro has been one of the most competitive DO leagues for a couple of seasons now, so it's unsurprising, that most of the clubs (Meia Boca Juniors are the exception) singed several players in the past month.
Canadian Premier League
Most of the Canadian Premier League clubs brought in some first team reinforcements this preseason. The glaring holdouts were North Mississauga SC - too confident in their own prowess?
Primera División
The Primera División clubs didn't do much to improve their first teams. Since the top of the league was so close last season, can we expect more of the same this season?
Championship
The top teams all brought in some reinforcements this preseason, but the rest of the Championship clubs abstained. If things remain as they are, we suspect we will again have clearly defined groups in the Championship.
Meistriliiga
Only a couple of the Meistriliiga clubs brought in new players this preseason. Saaremaa JK, FC Revolution, and JK LÕVID signed new players. But will those be enough for these three clubs to be more competitive?
SM-sarja
The SM-sarja clubs were not all that active on the transfer market this preseason - can we expect Liverpool and Sudet to fight it out between themselves again? Will Permo Kickers (who are one of the clubs that signed new players) take the first place this season? Or will one of the others reach for the top?
Virslīga
The Virslīga clubs brought in quite a few new players this preseason, several of which can be used for their first teams. Will the Virslīga be more competitive this season?
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Agrastai (59 points), 2nd - Futbolo Klubas Ekranas (59 points), 3rd - Jurbarko FK Lūšis (52 points), 4th - RFS (50 points)• Promoted this season: Vikings FC, FC Mazeikiu ROMAR, FC Mažupė
Superliga
While the Superliga clubs are active on the transfer market, between all of them, only a couple of first team players were signed. So, we suspect Jezerca FC and Venator Academy FC will form the top of the league again.
Ekstraklasa
While a lot of the Ekstraklasa clubs are active on the transfer market, not many signed players capable of playing in their first team. Though, since the Ekstraklasa is so competitive (and has been for years now), perhaps that isn't a surprise, it's just that the clubs are looking at their future.
Premier Division
While several clubs brought in players, most were for their youth teams. While we expect X.Z.Team will do better this season than they did in last, the rest of the top teams should remain the same.
TFF Süper Lig
We are expecting an excellent 47thTFF Süper Lig season. Most of the clubs used the break between the seasons well, bringing in new players and selling those that didn't mesh with their teams anymore.
Prva HNL
Most of the Prva HNL clubs brought in reinforcements in the past month or two. Interestingly, a lot of those signings were excellent strikers - can we expect games with a lot more goals this season?
Bundesliga
Things don't look good in the Bundesliga at the moment. Kicker der Kokosnuss are the only club that brought in first team players thus far - the likelihood of them dominating the league this season as well, is quite good.
Serie A
On the whole, the Serie A clubs didn't do much to reinforce their first teams in the preseason. Can we expect roughly the same order as last season?
Super Liga
We expect the Super Liga will be even more exciting than it was last season. Only a couple of the clubs bought reinforcements - most notable purchase was Spartak Trnava FC'sOmar Ibrahim.
Primera Division
We suspect last season's top two will form the top this season as well. While Celtic de Mostoles FC also went on a spending spree, their new acquisitions are primarily for their youth team and not their first team.
Superligaen
Most of the Superligaen clubs decided not to bring in any new reinforcements in the preseason. We suspect things will remain largely the same. FC Rido, who brought in reinforcements late last season, are the only ones we see really improving upon their last season's position. We also don't expect much from the newcomers - currently, we don's see them staying in the Superligaen past this season.
LIGUE 1
Most of the LIGUE 1 clubs brought in at least some reinforcements. The glaring exceptions to that are the newly promoted teams - we expect they will struggle to remain in LIGUE 1 for another season.
Tippeligaen
We suspect things will remain the same in the Tippeligaen - Mighty Bears F.C. will dominate the league, while the others will have an intersting time vying for the second place. Not many of the Tippeligaen clubs did much in the area of player purchases.
Eredivisie
We expect the 47thEredivisie season will be an intersting one. While the top most clubs declined to do much in the area of reinforcements, the next few clubs used their time well, each bringing in several players.
Primera division
Most of the top Primera division clubs brought in some reinforcements in their preparation for the new season. Unfortunately, the newly promoted teams did very little to reinforce their teams, and we suspect they will struggle to remain in the Primera division past this season.
Campeonato Chileno
The Campeonato Chileno clubs tend to bring in players when they need them. Though some of the clubs did buy several players in the preseason, the majority of those are destined to play in the youth teams. With the exception of Full Attack, the promoted teams did the most in the preseason.
Liga Dimayor
Only a couple of clubs brought in reinforcements this preseason. Since Manizales Town was one of them, we suspect they will be at the top again. However, a couple of clubs that were in the lower half of the table also brought in several good players - will they make a big enough of a difference for these clubs to challenge the Champions?
Descentralizado Peruano
Several Descentralizado Peruano clubs went on a spending spree this preseason. Interestingly, most of their purchases were for younger players, though some (presumably crucial) senior reinforcements were included.
Campeonato Uruguayo Garra Charrúa
We can expect an intersting season in the Campeonato Uruguayo Garra Charrúa - at least for the top places. Most of last season's top teams brought in reinforcements.
• Last seasons Top teams: 1st - Real K'tupis FC (62 points), 2nd - Tequeños de chocolate (53 points), 3rd - Zulia FC (45 points)• Promoted this season: SSC Bestville, crakers, Vuelos de Fenix F.C
