NPL 2026

Its also interesting to see who Preston will sign as strikers. I can see Markovski being let go, Serdenes is never going to be prolific and Romero/albano run hot and cold. Once the restructure of the midfield is done i see them going shopping for strikers.

Not only the league itself but many clubs have new head coaches (Knights, Northcote, Bulleen, Juventus, Manningham) add Victory and WU plus Port Melbourne, Langy, Srbija Brunswick and Sunshine plus Eltham and N. Geelong then try and pick 3 to go up ;) should be some big games all the way through the season

This is what i absolutely hate about many of these teams playing Friday nights. Would love to see as many of these games as possible. Hopefully more live youtube broadcasts.
 
Is this a bit damning for the Strikers?

The FQ Club Value Index, in place for the last 5 years and linked to the FQ Academy club assessment process, provides valuable insights into the overall value delivered by FQ Academy club programs when their club registration fees are modelled alongside the technical and development outcomes delivered by the club.

The index offers a unique assessment of how clubs across, and within, each Shield group are managing variability in their cost bases while delivering the various technical elements associated with their ambitions and positioning, and how that translates into program fees.

Built from the same data set as the Club Rank Score, the Club Value Index uses each club’s assessment score (not club rank score) as the basis for its determination. FQ Academy fees are analysed for both boys and girls programs, mapping average, highest and lowest fees across all participating clubs.

The algorithm applies a weighted score across Shields to recognise the investment differential between Gold, Silver and Bronze programs resulting in a score ranking each club in ascending order, revealing clubs who have invested across both girls and boys demonstrate significant value outcomes.

Football Queensland acknowledges that no two clubs are the same, with factors such as varying input costs impacted by local government areas, constrained green space that may limit expansion, and deliberate pricing and positioning strategies all influencing program fees. Despite this, there is a strong level of harmonisation across the data set variables, highlighting how clubs continue to successfully balance input cost variability while delivering quality development environments across Queensland.

Jamal Ali has also gone to Preston and Heidelberg are refusing to play him in the championship.

I assumed he was playing.

That shows me that Heidelberg is really angry that he is departing for Preston. He’ll enjoy the training with Heidelberg to ensure he remains fit and then will take a break over December/early January to rest before linking up with Preston.

Think he has been frozen out completely, no training, no games.

A lot of Pressure if they start on -9 though. They shouldnt get relegated or anything but thats serious ground to make up for a title charge, imagine they drop the first 2 games or something.

As we saw from Dandy City a title charge can also come from 6th spot quite effectively almost!

As for Avondale its interesting that they continue to play Tevere despite the move to Preston. Jamal Ali has also gone to Preston and Heidelberg are refusing to play him in the championship.

The Jamal situation turned sour along the way, as a coach i wouldnt play a player not commited 100% percent and leave a key position vulnerable bc of it! Id expect the same at South in a similar situation.
