Plattling still has Farghali, Starzengruber and Schwarz at the WR, with no Hazel, not sure who is left to throw them the ball.
Defensively though, take away the 2 American DB's from Wiesbaden and it tells a much different story about Wiesbaden's Defense. I will be the first to say, no imports = Wiesbaden winning the 2nd League period because they have German players that can play, maybe not great, but compete at each position. BUT, that is not the rules we play by, and Franken, Montabaur, PBH all are doing nothing out of the rules. We can debate that till the cows come home, but honestly think it is good for the GFL2.
Franken - what has changed? FOR ONCE this season they lived up to all the pre-season hype! I have followed Wiesbaden for several years, for WHATEVER reason, they are just a slow-starting team, their last few seasons lost in the first few weeks of the season. Maybe that was their problem - slow starters. They certainly peaked last weekend and showed their potential. Does anyone know the news on Simmons? Franken loses Simmons and its a WHOLE different ball game this weekend, a lopsided win for the Phantoms.
Don't get me wrong, look at my comments early, I pick Wiesbaden to win this weekend with or without Simmons, I am just not ready to annoint Michael Treber as anything REMOTELY similar to Pete Carrol, and certainly it won't be a 23-pt blowout as you have predicted...just my 2 cents and yep, I'm a FIGHTER baby, competitive as hell! I did spend a little time in 1AD
