Biggest Takeaway As the GFL season moves toward the postseason, the league has started to separate into clear tiers. At the top, three teams have consistently looked like the strongest championship threats. Dresden Monarchs/Potsdam Royals/Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns The Dresden Monarchs, Potsdam Royals, and Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns have separated themselves from the rest of the GFL. These are clearly the three strongest teams in the league and the teams best positioned to make a legitimate p...

Tyresö gets it’s championship After a lot of years of being the dark horse to win the prestigious SM-Guld, the Tyresö Royal Crowns can finally call themselves Champions of Sweden upsetting #1 seed Carlstad and #3 seed Stockholm in the semis and final respectively. This team had arguably no weakness and only finished in the #4 seed by having a game overturned and losing to both SMM and Calrstad with only one score each during the regular season. While the semi against the Crusaders could’ve...

1) Carlstad Crusaders (6-0) The Crusaders took care of business last week beating the Göteborg Giants 49-21 at home.

Potsdam Royals (=) A dominant 48-3 victory over the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes keeps the Potsdam Royals firmly at the top. Until someone proves t...

Because of that, these rankings are based on a combination of early performance. These rankings are expected to shift significantly as competition levels increase over the coming weeks. 1. Potsdam Royals The Potsdam Royals remain firmly at the top spot after a convincing win over the Braunschweig L...

1) Carlstad Crusaders (5-0) The reigning back-to-back champions have asserted their dominance over the league so far, scoring 49,6 points per game while only allowing 11,6 in the process. To be fair, their schedule to start the season was a rather easy one, already playing all the teams that are expected to be finishing in the bottom half of the table, but they’ve also convincingly beaten both the Örebro Black Knights and Stockholm Mean Machines with 3+ TD margins.
