Promoted teams:
Famalicão:
They increased their budget to attack the promotion and they did it. Not the largest budget of Segunda Liga, but their fighting spirit made sure they keep gathering points.
Assembled a mix of young talent and experienced players team, let's see how many of them will stay at Famalicão at season starts.
Paços de Ferreira:
Very organized structure. Despite loosing their best player at December to Sporting, they manage to keep their performances up there.
Gil Vicente:
A master class in how to make wrong decisions, Gil Vicente returns to Primeira Liga by court decision after being wrongly demoted a few seasons ago!
We can't really predict their performances because they are building a team from scratch!
