Mats Wienerholm on his team:
I build my team on two primitive gears. Skellefteå centre, Pär Lindholm and Frölunda Lasse Johansson goalkeeper. Seems like a good foundation to stand on. Then it became quite a mystery, because it’s not just about the players but how well their team is doing.. But Linkoping’s newest defenders Oskar Vantenberg and Linus Holström cannot be avoided at this price. Pure selling price. I would also bet on HV71 player Emil Andray, Rögle player Adam Edsdtröm, and new acquisition Theodor Niederbach. I think everyone can make their real breakthrough this winter.
Although there are more players to choose from, I feel satisfied and confident in this squad. We’ll see how satisfied I am when we get the results.
Thomas Ross on his team:
My team builds on youngsters with good price tags and then pays into secure cards like Lennström, Pokka, Dahlen and Alsing.
Kasper and Dower Nilsson depend on their surroundings, but if they take revenge on the right players, the points will come.
The price of Enroth makes me unable to resist it and I will get sick with confidence.
Hans Abrahamsson on his team:
As always, I’m very happy with my team up front. I think I made some real discoveries in Olle Alsing, Joel Nyström, and Leo Carlsson.
Complete with safe cards like Carter Camper, Marcus Nilsson, Anton Lander and Lars Johansson, this looks like a tough team to beat.
Just back off!
Simon Norberg on his team:
Up front feels like an absolutely incredible build. Jonathan Bodas, the best defender in the SHL last year, was injured during pre-season, but is said to be returning for premiere. Then it must be given in all teams!
We spiced up the backside with sniper Julius Hunca and Lesund’s stable. Reports from Oskarshamn claim that Juuso Riikola looked really hot during pre-season. The attack returns with a beautiful play chest, which can be the biggest discovery of the entire competition!
Going forward, we’re confident Hugg takes it a step further, that injury-free Sebastian Strandberg will show how great he is and that Dahlin is wreaking havoc in Medelpad. The born-again Einar Emanuelsson, who played in the first series during pre-season, quickly broke off the mainstay and scored more than 15 goals this season.
Jonathan Nelson on his team:
The first player you clicked Leipojärvi BK’s house? Adam Tamblini.
The most expensive in the game for sure, but if he remains without injuries, he wins the points league. At his side, he has Einar Emanuelson, who has continued to build on the confidence he received during the pre-season finals series. 3.5 million is a cut for a player who will simply (!) score ten times (!!) times (!!) than last year’s regular season.
World Cup success, Oscar Lang, and 17-year-old Leo Carlson are also a “money hype” as they are called when one is affordable. Returning Andre Peterson and Matthias Brömme will both battle it out for the top spot in the points league, and a package price of $11m for the duo at least keeps me going.
at that time? Jonas Enroth was the league’s best goalkeeper last year but was only ranked sixth most expensive goalkeeper this year. Simple math, is going.
On the back side, young Skellefteå defender Elias Salomonsson impressed in pre-season, making him worthy of the test for just $2 million. Samuel Johansson is only 500,000 more expensive and could make a major breakthrough now that he has changed Rögle to Brynäs. JVM captain Emil Andre isn’t exactly cheap but has the potential to become one of the best defenders in the SHL already this year and Jonathan Bodas is a striker in disguise when it comes to scoring.
Plus, I have half a million left in the bank, which will come in handy when it comes time to start working on the lineup.
