C.A Osasuna - Osasuna are one of the weaker teams in La Liga, and their team is not great. The major strength is they have a lot of pace on the wing, and in Roland Lamah they have a player who will frighten many defences. Apart from that, it's pretty dire. The strikers aren't very good, the defence is average, and the CDMs are slow and could get taken to pieces by a top side/player. Annan would be a good option.

Getafe - Getafe look pretty uninspiring to be honest. They don't have a star player, the highest overall player is Lopo the 32 year old CB. The defence looks ok, the centre midfielders look ok, the wingers a bit naff. Alvaro the forward is pretty average. 4-4-2 not really an option because the strikers on the bench are crap. The one key spark is Barrada the CAM, he looks like he could really inject some urgency into the team. Could be worse, but QFs with these would be good.

Levante - Remind me of Getafe, solid team but lacking a spark. Munia is a decent shot stopper, the CBs are pretty slow. They have an experienced defence (28, 37, 32, 36) but it could be outdone by pace and trickery. Diop is the engine in midfield, whilst Iborra looks a big boy. The wingers don't have much pace, but could send in a good delivery. Barkero is a veteran CAM that catches the eye, poor psychical stats but can really pass the ball! Dangerous player. Martins up front is dangerous. Gekas is a good option

<b> Psycho </b>

Espanyol - Espanyol are another solid team, they have a pretty good defence and midfield the real weak spot is their striker, their best one is 76 but he seems to play RM, which means Longo, 72 overall plays. The bench is weak meaning Psycho has little to work with here, which he doesn't seem to like, he lost 2 out of 3 in the last tournament and mentioned he's crap with weak teams, so it'll be interesting to see how he does here.

<b> TLLL </b>

Mallorca - TLLL has bagged himself an interesting team here. He impressed me in the last tournament and he could impress again. Mallorca have an awful lot of pace, particularly in Gio dos Santos, Nsue and Pereira, who could put in devastating crosses for the big man Hemed. I played with these before and the 4-4-1-1 looks good.
