With less than a week to go, the Grappa Kings Serie A is ready for the off. Once again, we are set for a thrilling season of action - this time under head-to-head rules allowing for taunts and jibes against opposition managers on a weekly basis.
Defending champion Rich Godden is back with Team Ramrod but the league has lost three stars with the defection of the Reilly family en masse. However, we believe (like Serie A without Kaka and Ibrahimovic) there is still plenty of quality in the mix.
From the BBC we are pleased to have secured the return of Colin Colthart, Willie Johnston, Colin Moffat and the league supremo Giancarlo Rinaldi. From the Calcio Italia family we welcome - in addition to Rich Godden - Serafino Ingardia, Steve Wilson (on a mission to knock Godden off his perch) and James Horncastle.
Dumfries and Galloway Standard links bring us grizzled old Borderer Doug Archibald, still reeling from Sigma Omuluc Dons fan Iain Pollock and Joseph "Honest Joe" O'Brien. Our youth policy is assured with young Ethan Colthart and Lachlan Eggo in the set-up.
Dumfries and Galloway Council has released Kenny Eggo and Kenny Ross from their single status wage celebrations in order to participate (expect big spending come their October pay rises). From the world of education (we use the term loosely) come Carlo Rinaldi and Kevin Sharp. While Australian Milan fan Pat Cook joins the fray along with Glaswegian dodgy whisky salesman Alex Robertson.
Finally, biggest thanks to Stefano "Big Stef" Rinaldi for signing up again this season. He has just become a dad for the first time and we all know how that can interfere with your fantasy sports.
Our Serie B is currently taking shape with five teams - many of them from the USA, trying to find their feet in UK fantasy sports. Hopefully, more names will sign up in the week remaining before the Premiership gets under way.
