Season 17 has started

Gallera FC - Season 17 has started and the club has just been relegated to division 3. new sponsor Tribal Wars online game has been chosen as the new sponsor. now the kit has a large "bird" logo in it. As a start the Team is at the top of the table. hopefully we will regain our "glory days" and return to ANG LIGA. It has been a journey from the Team's first Trophy in Division 3 to its qualification in ANG LIGA. and recently, just last season, we were lucky to have reached the semifinals of the Philippine CUP. 

A new generation of players will now start to rebuild the club. Gallera FC's best Central Defender Alfredo Segura has just left professional football. Fidel Uria "the set piece maestro" also a Central Defender (but a DMC in FP) is also announcing  his retirement. 3 starters are now leaving the Team since its foundation. These are:

1. Alvaro Morales - The Highest ASI player from the tryout squad (first set players of the team). He was a DC by training (FP) but was a good finisher, he has Captained the Team during its first seasons (season 11 and 12) and has played several positions such as Forward, Central Midfielder, Central Defensive Midfield and Left Wing. He has never played in Central Defense even though his Defensive skills are average but his attacking skills were above average. This player has been transfered twice and is currently playing in Europe (Macedonia).

2. Alfredo Segura - The best example of low ASI - high rating player. This player is the heart of Central Defense and was valuable until his day of retirement. played as a Central Defender during his playing days.

3. Fidel Uria - The "the set piece maestro" has just announced his retirement. A DMC in training but is more effective as a Central Defender. Fidel Uria in Right and Alfredo Segura in Left is Gallera FC's top choice of Central Defense. This player has assisted a lot of goals in free kicks. though he lacks technique in scoring free kicks. 

also to mention some fringe players who left the club:

R. Pastor (DC) and C. Domiguez (OMC) has also their fair share of contribution to the team.

 

All Time Players Record

As of this season, 2 players have announced their retirement.

First to announce is 32 year old C. Dominguez. He was an important player of the team and is regarded as a substitute for Offensive Midfield roles. C. Dominguez is Gallera FC's highest rated player for positioning. He has contributed 3 Goals and 3 Assists in his entire career for the club.

Second to announce is Central Defender Alfredo Segura. He is known to be the best Central Defender to have played for the club until this season. He can still pound opponents in his 36 years of age, and currently is the oldest player in the squad. He posses above average ratings in all skills required of a central defender, with only his strength as his weakness. This player is one of the best in the business, considering he has a very low ASI of 2,499 as of this season.
