I think Leilani Slacanin is not 100% healthy now, she didn't play in the playoffs for Stuttgart.

Maybe it could help? The first six of them at least are all pretty good.

I think, Dresden won an indirect, but real financial advantage by getting promoted their federal base for young players as primary, newly financed by several stakeholders, so they have more money remaining for their first league team next season. Never underestimate what money can do in professional team sports.

Stuttgart signed Jordan Iliff (Opp-USA)
Their roster feels quite... underwhelming compared to Dresden
As mentioned it looks to me that Stuttgart has even less budget than previous season, which was already about 10% lower than the season before.

This article tells, two players from Leverkusen going to first league, but not which team:

Viktoria Dörschug and Svenja Enning.

Time to start the 2027 edition thread, despite some informations are still not complete, but it will take some time to get the final composition.
Pool Stage qualified teams from the leagues:
ITA: Conegliano, Milano (both top seeds of their respective pools), Scandicci, likely Novara (additional slot like last season, not provided in the slots allocation overview by CEV though)
TUR: VakifBank, Fenerbahce (both top seeds of their respective pools), Ezcacibasi, likely Ankara Zeren (buyed extra slot like last season, also not provided in the CEV slots allocation overview)
POL: Budowlani Lodz (top seed of their pool), Rzeszow and Opole
RUS: still no admission it seems
GER: Suhl (if they really apply), Dresden
FRA: Mulhouse, Paris
ROM: Voluntari
SRB: Tent Obrenovac
HUN: Vasas Budapest
-
Obviously numbers were increased, while maximum for CL stays at 18, minimum went from 12 to 14. But of course there is no quality control, so Suhl can fill up with not CL ready players like they did last season.
-
I really hope that Suhl will have 12 players if they play champions league
They are forced to, less isn't allowed.
-
Bets are clearly in favor of VakifBank (1.3) against Eczacibasi (3.2) today, but this prognosis were plain wrong in the semis you know.
-
Bregoli is a great coach, but I consider Eczacibasi as the weakest team among the Final Four Teams, with the highest likelihood to miss a medal.
-
Bettings are in favor of the two Italian teams in the semis:
VakifBank 2.54 to Conegliano 1.45
Eczacibasi 2.4 to Scandicci 1.5
-
Their coach is Giovanni Caprara, so a lot of players go to Voluntari because of him.
Voluntari is now leading Alba Blaj in the Romanian championship final series 2:1 by the way and can win a second championship already today.
-
Everyone can watch the end of season celebration here .
About Alberto it's about 1 hour 30 min or so that he is staying one more season.
Wrong thread, this belongs to the finished season...
-
Anything but a victory of Suhl would be a major surprise today, the fanatism of the spectators in Wolfsgrube will reach a new peak. That a team like Suhl with too few usable players for good opponents can win confesses again the weakness of the league, which has considerably deterioated the last couple of years.
-
They sure did, but I wonder how this will go now that Suhl is also a big team. Assuming Foley to Dresden is true might be a "downgrade" for Foley if Suhl ends up being champion and Dresden 2nd
Despite Suhl's great success this season it's still a question mark if they can repeat it next season because probably they'll have to discover some new players once again. Brancuska signed for two years but Busto buying her out if the contract is not unlikely IMO.Suhl is trying to win the championship with too few suitable players (they are altogether just 8 to 9, the starting six, with two liberas and Naujack). This can't work usually, for example Suhl would have faced big trouble (physically and with reduced home matches) in the finals against Stuttgart with its much broader roster, so everything works ideally for Suhl this season, which is more kind of an exception.

An additional piece of information: It has been teased several times during both women's and men's games on Dyn that the professional challenge will be introduced in every game next season. Today, during the men's game between Friedrichshafen and Berlin, experienced referee Joachim Mattner also confirmed this.
This would finally bring German league on the same referee level as Italy, Turkey, Russia and Poland have for several to many years now and is definitely a notableprogress.
-
The pools are set meanwhile:

I guess, Italy, Poland and Turkey will play for the semis in first pool in LAT, and most likely Bulgaria and France will secure them in the other pool in LTU. For Germany I would be glad, if they become third in this pool, expecting strong competition especially from the Netherlands, fourth in first pool might be Belgium?
-
And Straube going back to German league is supposedly good for her? what will she achieve there that she can boast in an international scale?
At least Straube will play CL with Dresden next season.
-
A paywalled article from Stuttgart says Kenzie Foley will play in Dresden next season (alongside Sarah Straube, it's bound to happen by now). Stuttgart's new players will be Luisa van Clewe from Schwerin, Alexandra Hadrych and Karolina Fricova coming from French league, plus an American OPP whose name isn't known yet.
I think like the budget shrunk from the previous to the now finishing season, another shorting of it was suffered and prevented a better roster for Stuttgart. This seems to me the only logical explanation. Because there is no transparency about team budgets, I can only guess, but for me it is rather obvious.
