1 - Tallinn - Excellent strength, and decent depth. Loan went straight into an endzone, so they have only spent about $400k in real terms.
2 - Bucharest - Decent strength and insane depth. Loan and stadium corner means they've done it at a real cost of about $700k. Impressive.
3 - Morgantown - Similar to Tallinn. Strength is very impressive, while depth is big on quantity (although not always quality). Loan stright into endzone means this team has done all this for just over $300k. Maybe need to tie some guys down for longer.
4 - Rostov-on-Don - Quietly a very solid team with excellent depth. Loan went straight into an endzone, so real spending is only about $550k.
5 - Belarus - Reasonable in both strength and depth, Belarus's main achievement is how cheaply it was all done. The loan and their own half-million into two stadium corners - so this team was built, in real terms, for just $150k! These guys have a plan...
6 - Whatsamatta - Poor man's Morgantown with decent strength, and depth in numbers. Still the 6th best team, depite lack of stadium investment. Team cost of around $700k is fairly average
7 - Saratov - Incomplete but wealthy. Spent just $250k on a solid set of players so far, and received half-a-million surplus cash from the loan after the stadium corner was built. Some of that money will need to be spent on speedsters, but there's the makings of a reasonable outfit here.
8 - Katowice - Deceptively cheap as they, like Belarus, have 2 corners of their stadium built. So, reasonable group of players was brought in for just $350k. Solid D-line will have to be on form with that defensive back-7 though.
9 - Bratislava - Having most of their guys contracted into season 7 is efficient. However, choosing not to loan+construct is not. Great offensive skill players, but a ropey o-line.
10 - Jefferson City - Low-key and sensible. Aggressive loan-double-corner on the stadium, and a fairly average playing staff - albeit on nice long contracts. Real recruitment costs only $350k so far, but lack of remaining cash wont help solve woes in the trenches. Nice secondary.
11 - Maribor - Chaotic mix of high-level, low-level and cpu. Loan straight into endzone, so only $400k spent so far. Need to remove the CPU guys asap. Having two level-12 QBs sums this team up.
12 - Vilnius - Talented but over-paid group of illegibly-named players that are more talented than 11th. However, given the half-million loan surplus from the stadium corner, this team cost around $1.35m to build. 8R4DY needs someone to pass to.
13 - Booty Bay - Spent $450k on lower-levelled guys on longer contracts. Hardly world-beaters, but stadium development was wise, and o-line is nearly excellent.
14 - Kharkiv - Where did the money go? The stadium is barely-touched, so a lot of money was invested in trades and sign-on fees. Wages are not that high, but large roster and small stadium could spell financial trouble along the way. Solid o-line.
15 - Mombasa - Very similar to Booty Bay - preferring contract length to short-term quality. A few big-time players in key roles, but some real weaknesses too. Maybe they could have got more from their $450k, and lack of real stadium activity may hurt later.
16 - Chester - That money is nearly all loan, and the stadium is still at 8000 capacity. Not all bad news, though, as the contracts are nice and long and the wages (except the QB) are very low.
