I had some time on my hands, so here is my quick review for this season.
Giants
warportal (8)
Mean Gene (8) – Turban (10)
Skatarius (10) – Ra (9) – Rasaq (8) – spider web (7) – Legacy (6)
Substitutes: Pure_Luck (8) – Rucci (9) – retroaction (7) – Rojo (7) – Crescendo (6)
Overall a solid team with great depth in spider and a decent backup for terrier, but unfortunately lack of strong options in shark could be a big concern. This team is likely going to look into trading a solid starting shark at around 8-star value to further diversify lineup options and potentially push Turban to play spider later in the season.
Skatarius is an absolute beast and it will prove to be difficult for opponents to contain his aggressive style of play. It is also worth mentioning that this team has two strong options for 6-star slot with Legacy and Crescendo both being solid players from SVS with high potential ability which could prove to be a key factor in their season campaign. Rojo and retroaction represent interesting options for 7-star slot where as Rucci might have some issues breaking into the starting lineup due to star limitations.

SpookedOne (8)
Aprix (8) – Zapata (7)
Ease (10) – Cripple (10) – Rough (9) – Public Assasin (7) – i.d. (7)
Substitutes: Major Crisis (8) – afghan (7) – Dutch Baser (7)
An interesting team with some flex options with players like Major Crisis being able to fill both as shark and terrier. SpookedOne might not be available for the first set of games which could be detrimental to their season dreams.
Ease, Cripple, and Rough are extremely good at their designated role and capable of creating some game winning plays, but unfortunately the remaining spiders are not as impressive which might end up being one of their downfalls. There are also some major concerns regarding the quality of sharks despite Zapata representing good value for his team. I predict this team will struggle this season unless they can pick up one more solid spider.

Backups: olde (7) – megaman89 (10) – Henry Saari (9) – Ardour (7) – Kentaro (7)
Zizzo is looking to rally his team to another strong season as he has managed to draft a fascinating lineup with several different variations.
Trasher has a pivotal role on this team along with tj hazuki who will be spearheading attacks with his constant pressure and relentless pushing. This team has an abundance of spiders when it comes to high-star players, but appears to fall flat when looking at the players in lower-star brackets. I do not foresee much action from Henry Saari on this team unless they are willing to shark olde over Sprackle. The alternative lineup featuring megaman89 is rather strong on paper and could end up being their trump card.

bitsaver (8)
Commodo (10) – Heisman (7)
Jamal (10) – Ro (10) – blt_12 (7) – Odak (7) – Terminator 17.5 (7)
Backups: Vehicle (8) – midoent (9) – Scurvy (7) – Nine (7) – Jackie (7)
There is one major issue on this team and it is the struggle of not being able to field a proper full lineup due to high cost of many players. One solution to this dilemma is to field a 7-star shark such as Heisman which would allow this team take advantage of their very solid 7-star spiders.
Jamal and Ro is a formidable combination and will prove tough to take down, however it is going to be difficult to field midoent unless they are willing to bench one of their star players by opting into using a more balanced lineup. Jamal or Ro and Heisman are interchangeable with midoent and Vehicle.

Backups: Nipple Nibbler (8) – okyo (8) – TPZ (8) – Raples (7) – hedcase8 (6)
Power seems like the team to beat this season with incredible talent across the board. Lamentably this team does have one glaring issue and it is dealing with the new star restrictions.
Nipple Nibbler would make the shark department much stronger however it would come at the cost of spider strength having a significant drop in overall strength. It is going to be a difficult decision for Zidane whether he will prioritize shark strength over spider strength.
Hellkite is one of the best performing spiders in current time and represents incredible value as a 9-star player. He will be the backbone of this team together with Pandora legends MousE and Sarger. This team has many great options for high-star players, but on the other hand there are some minor concerns when it comes to low-star players on this team.

Renzi (9) – Lockdown (8) – Anonym (7) – rozay (7) – Unlimited (7)
Backups: Oh Snap Son Its Joe (9) – Cape (9) – tim (8) – Poseidon (8)
This team has arguably the strongest sharks and terriers when it comes to depth and options, but regrettably same can’t be said about the spiders who are not up to par to other teams in the league – partly due to star limits being lower this season.
Oderus Urungus and Cape can play any basing ship and their versatility could be one of the key factors on this team. Renzi has been on an upward trend with his recent performances, but it will remain to be seen whether he can unify his spiders to play as a complete unit.

Backups: Beam (7) – Saiyan (9) – voth (7) – Jo (7) – Let (6)
I really like this team and the only notable weakness is the shark pair, but luckily it’s not going to be their Achilles’ heel.
Nowon has taken Kassius under his wing who is quickly becoming one of the best value 6-star players in the league which pushes their spider lineup to new heights. Dreamwin will be a flexible choice for all ships, but primarily will be playing as spider as maketso should be able to show to most games. Diakka is the biggest question mark in this lineup as his show rate will greatly affect the starting lineup.

Backups: Violence (7) – Tripin (8) – Hoppin (8)
This team has piqued my curiosity as it has some hidden potential. They are looking like the dark horse of this tournament, and I predict that their season will either be really good or an absolute flop depending on multiple different factors.
mcvicar and Steadman is a solid shark combination, but both are volatile personalities which can be a recipe for disaster. There is a very high quantity of quality spiders which allows good flexibility for the team. Someone has to step up and lead the team or you will end up in a downward spiral and collapse.
.. you also have to pray that Tiny does not add himself as a base javelin.

As a conclusion this seems like a very balanced season with no clear favorite, and couple teams are only one trade away from becoming a powerhouse. I might have overlooked some players, and only listed the lineup that in my opinion has the highest chance of achieving a positive result. Some teams seem to have more available lineup options than others.
Team ratings are subjective as always. They are based on a combination of things such as individual skill level and quality of the starting lineup, quality of backups and substitutes in each role, and how well the team is expected sync with one another.

. Also looking at all teams, the captains that have the least interest in going back to 67 is Sir Tiny himself, and would be really stupid to ask for it.
It wont be revert as at least Tiny but probably more have no interest in reversing, so we'll see who was right, as I was talking about this season so you can't take exemple on previous seasons with 67*.
