Faidcombord's Season 17 was a rollercoaster journey marked by moments of brilliance and periods of inconsistency. Finishing in 4th place in division 7 and league 22, the team demonstrated resilience and attacking prowess, finishing with a positive goal difference of +15 — more goals scored than conceded — a notable achievement in an often unpredictable campaign. The season was characterized by a mix of solid performances and tough setbacks, reflecting the club’s ongoing development and adaptation to the challenges of the division.

Despite some fluctuations in form, Faidcombord managed to secure a respectable league position, thanks largely to their offensive contributions and team cohesion. The season's fun fact highlights their ability to score goals while maintaining defensive solidity, setting a foundation for future growth.

A pivotal attacking midfielder, Bilić netted 12 goals and provided 7 assists in just 13 appearances, showcasing his creativity and goal-scoring ability without receiving any cards. His influence was vital in driving the team’s offensive efforts.

Leading the line as a central forward, Antunez scored 9 goals and contributed 4 assists across 13 appearances. His consistent presence and scoring threat made him a key figure in Faidcombord’s attack.

With 8 goals and 5 assists in 12 appearances, Oliveira proved to be a versatile and reliable forward, adding depth and creativity to the squad’s attacking options.
