Here is the AKM's look at the relative power of the teams looked at from two angles: how much they cost (some are overpaid, some are underpaid - we know and these issues have to be addressed when the friendlies begin and we have time to observe the players' go for the game this year) and how the teams have spread their talent into the main areas of defending and scoring.

We took as our starting points the defence of team Anfaughlith and the offence from team Hithlum which we deemed value & organization-wise the best there are this year. We gave them both the value of 10. All the other teams are valued in comparison to the two in defence and in offence.

In the list, the first number is the value we gave their defence (including the goalie) and the latter is the value we gave to their offence.

Like we said, this is not the table the AKM suggests is the one that you should bet for as there are a host of things to be taken account of before making any more serious lists. But comparing our list to fex. the TTN's list should help the phantasy player to find out some common issues and pay heed to the differences...
