It occurred to me that many of the story lines in club soccer are similar to those happening in BTSH.  With that, I’ll now try to give each team in our league its club soccer counterpart:

Mathematics: Valencia – A solid core surrounds one incredible talent.  When playing against Valencia, you know that David Villa is going to get the ball, and he’s probably going to do some amazing things whether you like it or not.  The same can be said for Mathematics, with Andy Pratt playing the hero role.
 
Happy Little Elves: Wigan Athletic – After arriving in the league for the first time seemingly out of nowhere, both these upstarts are carving their place in the league and look to improve on their performance from last year.  It’s unlikely that either will make a title run, but achieving a .500 record would give a lot of hope for the future.
 
Cobra Kai: West Ham United – Despite toiling away in the lower half of the table much of the time, they were able to sign an incredible goal scoring talent in Adriano Bratta, similar to how West Ham got Carlos Tevez…only to lose him at year’s end.
 
What The Puck: Manchester United – Despite having an all-star lineup that’s capable of dismantling any team out there, they saw fit to poach some of the top free agents in the league.  This, of course, makes them an even better team, but also raises the ire of all whom they play against.
