Overview
Year Two of the Nedalia Premier League brought with it much excitement and buildup. In fact, the championship was decided only on the final day of football, with new champions being crowned. Rappor FC took home the crown with a home win over 8th place Momesta AC in a convincing 3 - 0 victory that put them 2 points ahead of runners-up Honsfield Athletic, who could only muster up a draw in an away game to the 16th place Strundanne FC Lonestars. A year after suprising many by taking the runners-up position in the inaugural season (Shoreland United where champions), they surpised even more people by taking the championship.
As for Shoreland United, they could classify the season as somewhat of a disappointment, having taken a step backwards from their first season. With stars such as Nene and Chris Yamtech on the squad, they were hot favorites to retain their trophy. Instead, they crashed down to 3rd place, as Honsfield Athletic, behind the stellar play of of their aging striker Matis, his young Nedalian counterpart Hrjove Brando, and their star Nova Britannicusian midfielder Henry Maitland took 2nd place.

Player of the Year
Although Shoreland United were not able to emulate their inaugural season success, coming in 3rd behind champions Rappor FC and Starblaydi owned runners-up Honsfield Athletic, that did not stop the 21 year old Nene from having an individually amazing season. From the first match to the last, he never failed to completely dazzle fans and opponents alike, to the tune of 21 goals from 35 games from the left wing position he has called his home. In addition to those great numbers, he added 17 assists, amounting to a total of 38 goals, more than a 1/3 of his team’s 92 goal tally. Time and time again, he was the savior of the team, pulling them from certain losses to respectability. His average rating of 7.94 set a new record, breaking Matis’ old record of 7.87, and in the process he earned himself 12 Man of the Match awards. Just after the completion of Year Two, he made a blockbuster move to Vilitian club Marine Coast United for the sum of $30 million, a record transfer involving both a Nedalian club and a Nedalian player. Shoreland United’s loss will be Marine Coast United’s gain.
Goalkeeper of the Year
The national squad’s captain and most capped player, Derrell Lynch was also the most impressive goalkeeper by a wide margine in Year Two of the Nedalia Premier League, for the second year in a row. The Captera AC player shone much more frequently than his team, who had to settle for another mid-table finish. Although he conceded more goals than games he played (he appeared in 37 games for the club), that was due to the inconsistent defense that the team played. In fact, the 30 year old and his spectacular saves were themselves the saviors of the team several times during the season. His average rating of 7.55, highest for all goalkeepers, reflected that, and despite his insistence that he has no wish to leave the club, one can only wonder how long such performances will keep him away from the top tier clubs of the League.
Defender of the Year
A fantastic season for the youngster, who claimed the U21 Championship in Totally and Utterly Insane before the season had even started, captaining the U21 Lions squad to victory over Chicanada in the Finals. The 22 year old continued his fine performances from the tournament, carrying them on into the League and impressing everyone in the process. The Riviera FC defender was the most consistent defender in the League, and that includes legend Cole Zenith, who won the award last year. Khadra has made such progress that he has begun partnering Zenith in the national squad, despite his young age. His 3 goals and 6 assists in 36 appearances, along with his 7.61 ratings, help justify his call up.
Midfielder of the Year
No surprise here, as Player of the Year recipient Nene also takes this award. For more information on his season, check above to the Player of the Year.
Striker of the Year
Despite stiff competition, especially from Chris Yamtech of Shoreland United, it was young Tim James, of Dorpar AC, who took home the Striker of the Year award. At the tender age of 20, he has yet to crack the national squad starting line-up due to the fact that Mattan and Yamtech have a grip on the two spots, but if he keeps up these types of performances, it will only be a matter of time. Widely expected to be situated somewhere in the middle of the table, Dorpar AC have James to thank for their 6th place finish, higher than most expected from them. He was 2nd in the League in goals scored, netting in 28, behind only Chris Yamtech, who had 30 of his own. The difference, however, was in the overall play; while Yamtech dished out 4 assists, James hit double digits, dishing out 12 assists to go along with his 7.78 ratings. A phenomenal season for the youngster, who replaces 34 year Starblyadi Matis as the Striker of the Year.
