Well, I'm not sure why a league would do it, but we relegated 4 teams and promoted 2 teams. We also didn't relegate the bottom 4 teams. We're weird like that. But, we say goodbye to CD Andes, Berlin 1871, IFK Stockholm, and London Public FC. We will be welcoming in two new teams with two new owners, as Edgeworth will be assuming the team out of Seoul, South Korea, the Bukchon Hanok Stripes, and Burmy will be taking over the team out of Mexico City, Mexico, CF Federal.

With the reduction of teams, the GEO Cup will be modified, and will be running similarly with 4 groups, with the winners moving on. However, they will move on to a 2 round single elimination tournament with the sole winner guaranteeing themselves a spot in the playoffs. With 14 teams, there will be 2 groups of 4 teams, and 2 groups of 3 teams. Bukchon Hanok Stripes, FC Tokyo Sakura, and Sydney Harbour FC will be one of the three team groups. Please submit what you feel is the best way to split the other 11 teams into two groups of 4 and a group of 1.

Now, keepers information. Soccer is a touch weird. Originally it was announced that you would be able to keep 5 players. And that's true, you keep 5 players with no restrictions. However, in order to ensure you are able to return over half your Starting XI, you can keep 2 extra players. These two players however are only able to be kept for this upcoming season BY ALL TEAMS. They will be marked with the Keeper designation in Fantrax, and I will have a list of them available throughout the season.

KEEPERS ARE DUE SATURDAY, AUGUST 3rd AT 11:59pm EASTERN. Please send them to altlb.dc@gmail.com before that date and time.

And the results are in, and the AltLiga Draft is going to be the first draft in Alt Sports History to be on a Monday!

The official date and time for the draft is Monday, August 12th at 8:00pm Eastern Time

Benvinguts and bienvenido to a new season of Atlético football! We're looking at a blank table, a rejuvenated roster, and quite a few injuries, so this XI might get the chance to develop some chemistry over the first few weeks. Luckily, our star player and captain Son Heung-Min is healthy and ready to lead the squad to our first match of the season. This year, we're getting our trip to Scotland out of the way while it's still warm, as we head north to face St. Mungo. That, of course, means we're breaking out the periwinkle to clash with the claret and blue.

Atlético kicked off its season with a win over St. Mungo to put three points into the table. We'll have a tough time maintaining that pace this week, as we travel to Bavaria to face the defending champions. Munich are also coming off a season-opening loss to Amsterdam, and they certainly won't want to start off with two straight losses. Our fight will be led in part by newcomer M Tomáš Souček, who made a stellar first impression for Barcelona fans, with an assist, two key passes, and six aerials. We'll also be in periwinkle for the second straight match.

That was not the way we wanted to start the season. A rough first outing gave Federal their first win in the modern era, and we were shut out to boot. We're hoping to rebound against Independencia on the road, with Norwegian captain Martin Ødegaard the featured player from last week, with two key passes and a shot on goal as the lone offense from the opener.
