NPL 2026

wait so next season they have relegation, but not promotion? Why on earth are they going to 10 then?

Exactly. I think the two clubs coming up are ready for NPL (South East United have demolished the south for a while, and Ulverstone seem to have some cash behind them with sending the team interstate to play friendlies). And there seems to be a clear two to go down, but as I mentioned before, it's short notice to remove them this year. Lauceston United have been bottom two for a few years, as has Clarence Zebras (who failed to merge with Olympia in the tier below).

Why go back to 8? I guess FTas don't see any others below that meet NPL standards. There are teams like Northern Rangers that perform strongly, but they left the NPL years ago and don't want to join again for some reason. Maybe they don't like travel and have zero ambition.

I would hazard a guess that NPL VIC, NPL NSW, VPL1 & FNSW1 would still be the top 4 levels followed by NPL QLD, NPL SA, then the rest

Now that's an intersting thought. Historically, I'd say NPL SA & QLD were ahead of next tier down in VIC & NSW. But I feel things have swung in the last year as there's a player drain from SA & QLD towards VIC & NSW thanks largely to the guaranteed Championship teams. And I don't think that will stop anytime soon. VIC & NSW will get a hefty head start by poaching the best from everywhere else.
 
From my experience of VPL1 vs NPL QLD apart from Lions, Gold Coast Knights and Moreton City most teams in VPL1 would be on a par or better than the rest of NPL QLD just my view though

They're making some moves it seems. I wonder if they like what Preston has going on and wants to get in on that vibe. Tsenkis is an effective coach so NPL2 will be interesting next year.

Any truth to Domenic Costanzo going to APIA?

Franco Maya could be on the way out too.

Might be some turnover at the palace this year.

Can someone do this for Victoria please? Thanks in advance
 
Marconi and Rickdale are going to have a massive exodus of players I expect Apia and Sutho both to be very strong next year

I’ve been outspoken re a refreshment of leadership at Marconi, but not really ideal timing heading into the championship. Wouldn’t be surprised if costanzo left, he didn’t look like his heart was in it second half of the season this year

His Dad Angelo was at the game at Kogarah funny enough. Not surprised that he's leaving though and Franco Maya as well. APIA seem to be in the box seat for next season, their frontline is frighteningly good even without Costanzo.

Off topic but anyone else started using this app? It's very detailed throughout NPL and Australian leagues as well as the world. Would be good to see more NPL representation on it

I use Memento to be honest. I think I tried looking into Futbology but there was an issue for some reason.

With memento, you can also add games, teams, etc (but not logos for some reason), and works with some other sports and concerts too

The biggest spenders in the League, i wouldn't expect any less.

Rockdale & Marconi to have high turnover.
Sutherland will be spending money.

Much the same for the other clubs at this point in time.

Memento is terrible and you have to add everything. It's for people in America following american sports. Meanwhile futbology is for football fans in australia and worldwide
