Over at Soccer Gaming, Sweetpatch has her weekly update of all the most exciting Super Patches that have been released or announced as under development in recent weeks.
Here Paul Harbeck's pre season report, with his thoughts on each team in this season's competition. It is what Paul thinks we should expect in this season to come at Soccer Gaming Fantasy.
Arsenal: Managed by Dhruv, the London giants have had a reasonably light pre season. Arsenal has only played one pre season game against Dortmund, and managed to win 3-2. The two starting forwards, Leon Davis and Andrew Castenmiller, look strong up front, however Arsenal's defence might need some improvement to go anywhere major this season.
Barcalona: The Spanish Giants have had a very quiet pre season leading up to the first SGF roster. The Barca Manager has been under pressure, and could lead to a miserable season for him and the team, unless he can provide something magical. Robert Langdon looks to be the star of Barca, also watch out for the speedy Luis Sapo.
Maniac (Nedim Erkocevic), a member for the ECP and webmaster of FIFA-Bosnia has completed work on his Bosnian Premier League DEMO Patch for FIFA 2003. Here are a few screenshots:

Greetings to all the Fifa 2003 enthusiasts, I have another short but sweet review on whats hot in the Fifa 2003 Forum at present. This time its a mixture of topics to do with Fifa 2003.
