Daniel Nannskog: - Hammarby. Last year's best all-Swedish offensive this year will be even more interconnected, it is teeming with class players from the midfield to the attack. Many match winners. I am sure that the focus has been on correcting the defense game during the many pre-season months due to the corona virus. A hungry Bajen takes the gold this year!
Markus Johannesson: - Hammarby becomes champion. Despite losing Djurdjic, they have a very strong squad offensively with a match winner in the new Paulinho. There are many players who can deliver and have had a continuity for a long time. Many hungry players with great confidence. Add a possible recruitment bomb to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and they should be a candidate together with the permanent favorite Malmö FF.
Frida Östberg: - Hammarby. They decide the series with their creative midfield and ball safe offensive games. The question mark for Hammarby becomes the defense game which is vulnerable due to the offensive, here Danish Jeppe Andersson becomes important for tying up and balancing the team.
DN: - Falkenberg and Sirius. Sirius has lost a lot of routine and bearing players. Although Åhman-Persson played very little last season due to injury, that type of character is very important to have around the squad. Ball winner, head specialist and very useful Philip Haglund will also leave a really big void left behind. As if the two pins were not enough, very useful Jesper Arvidsson also leaves.
- The classic difficult second year for Falkenberg. Passed on a late kick from Nsima Peter last season. Must say that I am full of admiration for what Hans Eklund and the entire Falkenberg get out of their relatively small budget. This year, I don't think you'll be enough, although it looks exciting on the forward side with the new acquisition from Häcken Kwame Kizito, John Chibuike and Nsima Peter.
MJ: - Varberg. Joakim Persson will, like previous years, have to troll again with a small budget and inexperienced squad. There are definitely rescue planks (Mjällby, Sirius, Falkenberg, Örebro) if Varberg gets off to a good start but when I look at the squad they are for me one of the candidates to leave.
- Östersund. With the loss of many quality players in recent years, together with the turbulence in the club and problems with the economy, I am surprised if ÖFK manages to land on its feet and survive. A huge achievement by the players. Team captain Tom Pettersson disappears as a safe post to lean against. Sooner or later, all challenges will catch up.
FOR: - Sirius misses new contract. They have gotten rid of bearing key players and failed to replace that routine. Varberg, who's wearing the team? Virtually no routine by the Allsvenskan in the team except coach Joakim Persson. I think the newcomer Varberg has too big shoes to fill simply.
DN: - Of course Zlatan. Will he throw on Kennedy's No. 10 despite that jersey being retired for 10 years?
MJ: - Can't ignore the idea that Zlatan will be the one who creates the most headlines if Hammarby becomes his choice. I'm very doubtful that this will happen, but it feels closer than ever. In general, I hope we get to talk football and what a great atmosphere we have in the Swedish arenas. Realistically, it will take some time, but I hope.
FOR: - Zlatan and "his" Hammarby.
DN: - Corona, corona and again corona.
MJ: - Zlatan (unless a message comes soon) and football with or without an audience due to corona.
FOR: - At the risk of repeating me - corona and its effect on the economic situation, alternatively Zlatan if he moves home for games in the men's sweden.
DN: - Obviously, there will be extremely large financial losses for the clubs with the coronation. We will see wages that will be lowered as a result and clubs will in the future be more dependent on their own youth department as there will be no financial muscle to buy players as before.
MJ: - Impossible to answer as no one knows how long it lasts. If I guess based on what I know today, here are some examples of the impact I can see: If it lasts for a long time, for example the year out, and the clubs will play without an audience, it will have devastating consequences for the finances of the men's clubs. . This may mean that several potential players return home to the Allsvenskan earlier than expected and that we will then see them in our arenas. Reason is missed play, terminated contracts due to poor finances in some leagues / teams.
FOR: - I feel a strong concern about the financial situation and believe that we will see the vulnerability of the clubs but also individual players. Troops will lose weight, the burden on individual players will increase and wages will be even less able to compete with other leagues outside Europe, which will of course affect the level of the league. The positive is that more teams will be forced to fill in with younger players and enroll them in senior football, the associations that have worked actively with player development will now receive a big advantage.
DN: - What worries me most is whether we would get teams with many infected players and the negative consequences it would have in that case.
MJ: - Too many matches without fans. Allsvenska football is a product of both players, clubs and supporters. Without one or the other, nothing is left. I don't like discussions about one doing the other or vice versa. There is a mutual dependence on all players that must be cared for in order for football to maintain its status.
FOR: - Obviously the risks around corona, how the clubs handle travel, health and the economy.
