Title: Will the Austria Dark Knights remain unbeaten in the regular season ?

Just one vote per person.

What do you think will we have the first perfect season in the FWL ?

i do not think so, because.....

....too many wins came very very close in a "last-drive-stopping"-style, even against weaker teams....
....would have to beat Paris away and Frankfurt and London.... impossible....
....i have no offense (but ok my D is awesome...).....
....many teams started 8-0 but nobody ever did the "big thing".... not even better teams....
....GM Kreiner is crazy enough to start backups in almost every game....
....many GMs would be upset that trash-talking Kreiner would be on the peak of his career only 2 seasons after he took over a rotten team....

it is just impossible.

BUT: if i beat Paris i would have my personal best start EVER as a GM. and i really like that idea...... a real milestone.... but Paris is tough and i fear i will stumble and fall....

Yeah, I just don't see it happening, not the least of reasons being that once you clinch homefield throughout, it would be very hard to justify continuing to play all the first-teamers, and given the parity in the East and the comfortable 3-game cushion in the West, that could come very quickly indeed.

Plus Mario is doing that 'negative vibe' type of thing saying how Frankfurt will win it all etc.  Could happen as Frankfurt are defending champions but with 6 weeks of the season left, Austria is 4 games ahead of Frankfurt , Austria have 3 home games left, they also play Frankfurt at home.  The Galaxy meanwhile have to play Montreal also.

Must admit Austria do have some tough games ahead, at Paris and at Amsterdam which could be a big game.  Should be some exciting weeks ahead

4 out of 6 votes indicate a 13-1 season for Austria?

i rather think the sentence "at least one" is rather misunderstood by the majority of voters as "at least one" could also be "2 or 3"?

I would be interested in who was the one who voted for the 14-0? it was NOT me....

Well without trying to give you more of a big head (!) i think you've proved that with trading you can move up in the FWL and also obviously with the draft as well you can get a good core of players and have other players who are then surplus and then you can trade them for picks etc.

Many teams in the league wallow with losing seasons but you've shown that with trading and getting the right players you can turn the team around.  I know not all GM's can be as active as you but i think with teams who lose then its best to trade to make changes and to turn your team around.

Would be interesting to see the number of trades each team has made this season and their record.

Paris dont trade often but made a good one this year picking up a new LB and also signed LB Matt Finkes last year.  They picked up some good players last year, a good WR in Coleman, a future starting QB in Kreinhagen (i still think he will come good) and the difference in the team this year is good

Hey it seems that the 13-1 predictions were very accurate :-)

Okay one more game to go but its possible.
