That's interesting, I'll have to keep an eye out for my player in my save. He does look pretty good though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not a surprise in Esteghlal winning the league but seeing Nassaji finish up in 2nd switches things up, their best ever finish previously was 3rd back in 1990 and they were promoted from the 2nd tier in 2018. Muangthong win the title back from Buriram, no surprises here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
