Individual Awards
And The Winner Is...
Combining all of the staff picks, here are the aggregate winners.
Gangwon Hi will be sadden to know that all their big spendings didn't get them into your predictions! lol interested to see where they finish and where their signings end up next season.
ReplyDeleteThey're one of the more interesting teams to me this season. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they finished 3rd or got relegated. A LOT of talent on that team and the usual big clubs got a bit weaker. It'll be really interesting to follow the Bears this year and see how they do.
DeleteAlso, shout out to Alastair for the Lee Bum-young Golden Glove! He's giving Gangwon some love.
I'm glad to see Steve has gone bold with his relegation predictions!
