Overview

The inaugural season of the Nedalia Premier League was a great success, with interest from around the universe flooding into Nedalia. Shoreland United, the team owned by Matthew VI of Falastur took the honors at the end of the season after a rough start, led by their superstars Nene and Chris Yamtech, but not without getting a scare from Rappor FC and Honsfield Athletic. The latter featured Matis, the 33 year old Starblaydia striker who got recalled for the Starblaydian AOCAF VIII squad after winning the Golden Boot award with 31 goals scored. Rounding off the top 5 where Dorpar AC and Bronkstone FC. Each team had one of the reserves for the Nedalia Lions squad, with wonderkid Tim James in the Dorpar AC side, and Karry in the Bronkstone FC side.

The surprise of the pack was Rappor FC, who finished in 2nd on the strength of the performances of Kenneth and Ricky Telfair. The team shocked many so-called experts, who were predicting perhaps a Top 10 finish, but definitely not a Top 3 finish.

Player of the Year

• MATIS: The 33 year old Honsfield Athletic striker lit up the Premier League, finishing with such deadly accuracy that teams would almost always throw two defenders on him everytime he got into the box. That did not stop him, however, from netting in 31 goals in the 36 appearances he made for the team, enough for him to win the Golden Boot. He also managed to dish out 6 assists, and his average rating of 7.82 was the best given to any player.

Goalkeeper of the Year

• Derrell Lynch: The starting goalkeeper for the national side, the 28 year old Captera FC shone in the first season of the Premier League, despite a slightly disappointing season by his team. Constantly coming up with big saves, he was the best performer on his team, as well and most consistent. His average rating of 7.72 was the highest of any goalkeeper in the league. Rarely one to make mistakes, he was also the captain of the squad.

Defender of the Year

• Cole Zenith: This was an easy desicion to make, as no other defender dominated the way the national squad captain did. The 30 year old Bronkstone FC central defender struck fear into the heart of all strikers, always making the big stop. His team would not have done as well as they did without his presence in the back four, and his average rating of 7.75 showcased that. He also netted in 3 goals and handed out 5 assists in the process, showing his all-around game as well.

Midfielder of the Year

• Nene: Another easy desicion, this one went to the 20 year old left midfielder from the champions, Shoreland United. Simply sensational all season long, he came 2nd to Matis in the Player of the Year award, despite his very young age. The shining light of Nedalian football, his magnificent skills were one of the main reasons his team were crowned champions. He averaged 7.81, second only to Matis, scoring 21 goals in the process and dishing out a phenomenal 16 assists.

Striker of the Year
