Display MoreThe league starts next week. (SuperCup tournament is tomorrow) so I've decided to post my predictions for starting-six and standigs here.
1. Chemik
Pleśnierowicz - Salas - Truskhina - Silva - Mędrzyk - Chojnacka - Maj (L)
I think they're the main contender for the championships however I'm not sure how Ferhat will do. Looks like he will be the drama queen of the next season He was mad because some teams used their back-up players during the pre-season matches and he basically did the same mixing some players positions back and forth. Trushkina plays sometimes as MB sometimes as Opp. Łukasik/Silva sometimes as Opp sometimes as OH
2. Rzeszów
Valentin - Frantti - Efimienko - Zaroślińska - Blagojević - Witkowska - Krzos (L)
They have solid 14. Hard to precict who will be starting-six because they also have Mlejnkova, Polańska, Kaczmar, Hawryła plus coach Stephane Antiga
8. Legionovia
Grabka - Strantzali - Tokarska - Souza - Fidon - Łukasik - Lemańczyk (L)
Solid team with good coach (Chiappini). Souza is not dominant opposite and the back-up player is not experienced at all so I think they might changed their roster a little bit. Damaske played really good during the friendly games so I would put her in starting six as OH and Strantzali as opposite.
9. Bielsko-Biała
Vincourova - Różański - Janicka - DeHoog - Kossanyiova - Moskwa - Drabek (L)
They have only 12 players, two are returnings after injuries. Looks like mess for me. Some well-known names but I don't like their coach Plus, they lost the main sponsor and I'm not sure if they will survive to end of season with those 12-players.
11. #VolleyWrocław
Gajewska - Wers - Soter - Rasińska - Murek - Fedorek - Kuziak (L)
Their roster is almost the same as last year.
In my opinion Chemik and Rzeszów have the best teams for the upcoming season and they both played well during the friendly games. What i really like about Developres is that all 14 players of their team could play in the starting 6 because they are all on a similar level.
The team that didnt play well during the friendly games is definately Wrocław. They event lost 0:3 to a team from the 1st Polish league. On paper they have many players with NT experience like Wers, Murek and Kasprzak and also some promising players like Rasinska and Pancewicz but still they make way too many mistakes.
This is how I would rate the teams before the season starts basing on their performance in friendly games and the transfers they made :
Best squads and favorites to win LSK - Chemik and Rzeszów
Also good teams but their squads look worse than in last season - Budowlani and ŁKS
Teams that may even reach the semifinal and have built solid teams with better players than last season - Kalisz and Radom
Pałac is between {Kalisz, Radom} and {Legionowia, Bielsko}, I think they might surprise some better teams because they have an experienced squad with players who have played with each other for a long time.
Teams for places 8-9 - Legionowia and BKS
Wisła - they have some experienced players and also a lot of young promising players, they look better than Wrocław and Piła
And teams who have the worst squads in LSK - Wrocław and Piła
Michanska - Aris 1-1 (23-25, 25-18)
Kazała is Finally back to the Polish League. If Im not wrong she was MVP of the Youth League (Młoda Liga) some years ago, and then she went to USA. Im curious about her performance
Wroclaw - Pila 3-2
Michanska 3rd place

Plesnierowicz is playing fantastic and so far she didnt make any double touch mistake !
Salas I didn’t expect that she will receive so good.
Chemik looks very strong, Salas + Sylva + Mędrzyk trio is so powerful additionally fantastic libero Maj and Kowalewska who was setting so fast, I’ve never seen her playing so precisely Only middle blockers need to improve a lot, especially Wasilewska who was invisible today, but it’s nice to see great connection between Kowalewska and Trushkina.
Polish Supercup
Chemik Police - ŁKS Łódź 3:0 (-21, -18, -19)
MVP: Gyselle Silva
Lazovic with 13 points
Will be hard to beat Chemik with Salas and Gysele. I love watching Cuban players...there's just something special with them.

I have always wanted to see Wilma, Nancy Carillo, Rosir Calderon and Daimi Ramires in LSK, Cubans are so powerful and strong, watching them is really enjoyable.
Lazović did more than she should today, she arrived as the last one. I did not like Mori at all, the middles were explosive and she did not use them much. On the other hand, Marlena was amazing, it was the first time I saw her like this, thanks to her Chemik's wings were so effective. I guess, she gained confidence after national season or it's Ferhat's influence. Chemik was playing really fast. Trushkina is really good attacker, but underrated in the world.
Agnieszka Rabka is the new head coach of Wisła Warszawa.
Don't know what happened with Grabowski. The club just released the statement about new coach...
1st game of the season
Developres Rzeszów - Legionovia Legionowo 3:1 (25:23, 25:18, 22:25, 25:20)
MVP: Zaroślińska-Król
Rzeszów: Zaroślińska 25/ Mlejnkova 15/ Blagojević 10
Legionowo: Fidon-Lebleu 22/ Oliveira Souza 18/ Damaske 14
The match between Rzeszów and Legionowo was pretty close. Personally, I did not like Grabka's choices and Oliveira Souza's performance, as an opposite she should kill some of out of system balls, but she didn't. On the other hand, Fidon-Lebleu was really good, she's a powerful OH.
Damaske had ups and downs, I think she was getting the worst sets, but managed to kill some of them. It was the first time I saw Matejko, she came in as a service sub. To me she looked taller than Stysiak (even though she's smaller), it's a shame that she's not so talented.
That Blagojevič's spike 😍

Fedusio ! The girl is developing with each match! 22 points with 52 % and received 41 balls with only one mistake! She's proving herself! I am happy that Bydgoszcz's coach is not benching her just because he has more experienced players on a bench. I would like to see duo Fedusio - Górecka somewhere.
Kalisz was leading in every set and they lost in the end. It seems like Lazović and MB's Alagierska and Pacak will be carrying this team. It would have been better to sign Rasińska as OPP instead of Bociek.
