WPC Blog Week 2 and write up of teams and week 1

So I might not be Head Admin anymore but I am going to go back to my roots and do predictions.

Welcome to Season 9 of WPC and it is a lot more different than recent times. Steven is now Head Admin and Kris is added as Admin to go with the core of the usual admins.

This season sees 8 teams taking Part.

So I will go through each team in reverse order of where I think they will finish.

8th Place: Deep Pockets

Key Man: Rich (wacky_1999)

Previous WPC Experiance: None

I don't really know much about Deep Pockets but Rich is there and chatter who can be good. They don't have all that many players signed up at the moment. They lost to SP 4-2 in week one and I think it will be a uphill struggle for them all season. They must add some depth to there squad asap if they are to do any good at all.

7th Place: Simply Pool Souls

Key Man: Trent

Previous WPC Experiance: Made Playoffs a Couple of Times

Simply Pool Souls are a extremely friendly league and always give there all. They actually actually have a few good shooters but rely on a core 3 or 4 of Kat, Trent, Joe and John. If they are to finish anywhere near the playoffs they will need to recover quickly from the week 1 defeat to CZ. SPS have the quality to mount a good run but they will fall just short in my opinion.

6th Place: Extreme cues

Key Man: Crozzy

Previous WPC Experiance: tried and thrown out a few times

EC are back and this season it looks like they may just last the season too. They have a few good shooters in Crozzy, y.poo1 look good players here but they need some lesser names to come up good for them this season too. Week 1 wasn't the best for EC losing 4-2 to SS, who will be up there come the end of the season, but these 3 and possably SZ will be the 4 battling to be the best of the rest. I think with a good run mid season EC could really challange but can Croz and y.poo1 come up with vital wins every week. Expect Crozzy to make the Allstars but that will be that as far as EC go this season.

5th Place: Sicc Skillz

Key Man: Mr.PAKiZ_RULES

Previous WPC Experiance: None

I wasn't sure about these until last night when they played SPS but I soon found out these are gonna abuse the Coaching rule to the extreme. Ok people will argue theres coaching so let them but Suki was telling most players how to shoot. These will come up short against the likes of SS and FR and will not make the playoffs. I would love to be proved wrong but I think SP will finish above these here, they look the makings of a good team though.

4th Place: Sexy Poolerz

Key Man: Adam

Previous WPC Experiance: WPC World Cup Runners up: Season 5, WPC Regular Season Winners: Season 5

So Sexy Poolerz are back because I aint in the Admin Team anymore and welcome back SP. It seems a long time ago when they won the Regular season but came up just short in the WPC World Cup Final. Ste and Keten are still there but Adam is also there and I don't knwo how many make playoffs if its 6 then SP should just squeeze in if its top 4 then they need a big effort this season but its not beyond the relms of possability. If SP make the playoffs then the big names need to perform and Ste and Keten are two wise guys. Bev has also got a role to play this season as capt or co capt.

3rd Place: Dead Strokes

Key Man: Dr_Pepsmear

Previous WPC Experiance: WPC Regular Season Western Division Season 8: Winners

Dead Strokes made the plaoffs regularly in WPC and won last season Western Division. Dr. Pepsmear moves from SS to DS and will be a valuable addition to the team. Roy will need to perform this season along with Trapster. I think DS will sail into the Playoffs again this season by finishing 3rd.

2nd Place: Straight Shots

Key Man: Jon

Previous WPC Experiance: Season 7: WPC World Cup: Winners Season 8 Regular Season: Winners

Straight shots will go head to head for the top spot with Freedom. Straight Shots have a great squad but FR have the bit between there teeth at the moment. Jon, Pita and Pascal will need to really have a good go at each team if they are to win the WPC Regualr season. SS will no doubt think they can win it but expect them to walk the EXPO.

1st Place: Freedom

Key Man: Petey

Previous WPC Experiance: WPC Season 7 Regular Season: Winners, Season 8 Regular season: Runners up

Freedom stroll in for another season of WPC and Petey must feel confident as BNR and PFN are not in so players like Petey and Ben. Freedom are most definatly going to be up there at the end of the season. If Freedom show up in form they will only need to worry about SS but sometimes they can just come up short.

Ok lets look at week 2 matches.

Sicc Skillz vs Extreme Cues

So EC lost 4-2 and SZ won 4-2. SZ are from what I saw a one team with Suki telling 99% of the shots to take when he aint playing. EC were unlucky and if they show and play the way they did last week they will have a serious chance to get one over on there rivals here. If Suki is allowed to take over it might get ugly but I am going to sick my neck out on the line here.

Score: 4-2 EC

Simply Pool Souls vs Straight Shots

So I go back to the team I walked out on as SPS get two home days in in 2 weeks as SS are welcomed as the away team. SPS have a semi strong roster, Kat always performs in WPC and Monte can be a threat although he is aging a bit. Joe, Me and Trent will need to come up big this season and the likes of Tj and heather have to be thrown in. SPS have nothing on SS as they look so so strong and Pascal, Jon and Pita must perform at the top of there game!

Score: 5-1 SS

Freedom vs Deep Pockets

Freedom look to be onto a good thing this season as Petey sees a semi weak league and thinks this is Freedoms for the taking. Deep Pockets are going to have really work hard to get anything at all. Freedom will bring there strongest team as a fixture like this has bitten Petey in the Ass before.

Score: 5-1 FR

***********Match Of The Week************

Dead Strokes vs Sexy Poolerz

This has match of the week all over it and with Dead Strokes drawing 3-3 with Freedom they show that they will be up there this season. Roy and Co. are definately going to be well up there this season. Sexy Poolerz picked up a valuable win and they could well pick up another win here. Ketan, Adam and Ste need to really buckled down here and these will get my Shock of the week tag.

Score: 4-2 SP

I dont know how many people will read it but let me know what you think please
