Younis became the first manager to win back-to-back DoBo titles—and was also the first to lead a team from non-league to the top division in consecutive seasons. A consistent collector of titles, Cacos’ demotion for ‘financial irregularities’ hangs heavy despite Younis maintaining the money was “just resting” in his account.

One of the league’s most volatile teams, The Bombers have proven they can compete with the best, as demonstrated by becoming only the second team to win back-to-back DoBo titles in 19/20 & 20/21. But Penhallurick’s temperament and psychological frailty under pressure have dogged them since their famous title collapse in 15/16.

It’s taken years but Borussia Teeth are gradually shedding a bottom-feeder legacy that once saw them scraping for survival in DoWo. The miracle 18/19 DoBo title-winning season was followed with a first DoDi title in 22/23 and an impressive YoBo and SaKo cup double in 23/24. They may never be a juggernaut but their recent history shows The Teeth are capable of picking up a few honours.

In any other sport, Jon Jolley wouldn’t have been fired, he’d have been arrested. A maverick minus point magnet and a glutton for disrepute fines, aside from a fever dream two weeks in 15/16 where he topped a division, Jolley remains a competitive enigma. At his best, he can spring a few cupsets but he isn’t a manager built for deadlines or the marathon slog of a Fantasy season.

The league’s pre-eminent cheat, Jones’ mantra is rooted in the idea that your first team isn’t necessarily your best team. Underscored by a parade of 3rd subs and vice captain points, his Fantasy style is ugly but he has an unerring ability to navigate the chaos of the cups and pick up silverware. It seems cheats do prosper after all.

Arthur and the Farts are a club of extremes. They’re capable of dominating a division but also have a strong record of stinking one out. Early on his career, Arthur was the epitome of season-on-season consistency but that sole DoBo title in 16/17 seems a long way away as the Farts continue to yo-yo between divisions in a search for stability.

For all of their failure on the pitch, The Westicles are a masterclass in brand perception off it. Everyone’s second favourite team have rarely bothered anything other than mid-table DoDi for Huxley’s entire career, but with their improbable promotion pushes, second-half of the season resurrections, and oh-so-close cup qualifiers, for all of their faults, no team is as universally loved.

Davies’ style isn’t the flashiest but with five titles in eleven years, the gloss of those early Fantasy years grows ever duller—a lot like FC Des’ park the bus mentality. No titles in six seasons is a damning reality and much like his idol, Jose Mourinho, Davies’ is a manager from another era whose decline sees him gradually fade into Fantasy obscurity.

‘The Prince of DoDi’ might not have all the titles in the world but Davies can still take pride in the two he’s won. After the gut-wrenching, Cambiasso-inflicted relegation of 14/15, many thought the club would sink into oblivion. But bouncing back with a coveted DoDi in 16/17 and a surprise YoBo win in 20/21, Davies has proven himself better than most.

Perhaps the league’s most polarising manager, McCarthy sensationally silenced his critics in the 22/23 season by winning an unprecedented treble, aided by awful performances in the finals by DTA and Exeter Gently. That success might paper over the cracks as it accounts for over half his title haul but he remains a pest of a competitor in any division.

It’s been impossible to ignore Evans’ rise to Fantasy prominence in recent years as he quickly staked his reputation as the “Best Evans” with a flurry of titles. Despite blanking in his first season, a maiden DoBo title arrived in his third, and earmarked him as an annoyingly consistent wunderkind who has made the top division his permanent home.

Jones and Northern Borras are probably most infamous for the -1 GW score in 15/16 after a bungled wildcard than they are recognised as a league force. But dig into that sole DoDi title in 18/19 and the stats will show you one of the most dominant GW performances in league history. But after a decade in the game, that wonder season feels more lightning in a bottle every year.

Back in 16/17, Twigg and Xtal tha Pulsewidth finished with the lowest total in league history—a measly 1527 that even perennial league propper Jon Jolley laughed at. Fast forward a few years, and the DoDi title in 21/22 not only thrust Twigg out of ‘The Nothing Club’ but would’ve helped soothe the brutal SaKo cup final defeat in 14/15 as he picked up his first hard-earned title.
