What "usual" places are you referring to? :smile07: Are you saying that every year our position in the tournament table remains unchanged? Do you think that the previous season went as expected for Lokomotiv, CSKA, and Dynamo fans, for example? It completely overturned all plans and predictions. For example, can you say how Lokomotiv will perform with their new coach? And how Akinfeev will return after missing an entire season (by the way, he is a key figure for the team, just as Rakhimov is for Lokomotiv)? I'm not even talking about Dynamo, whose position this season is impossible to predict, and Moscow, which, with Slutsky's departure, is becoming a "dark horse" in the entire Championship. So, the "usual places" are still a mystery, and it is quite possible that the first round will be more indicative of the season's trends than we think.
