Panini Belgium Pro League 2018

[Philip]

New Panini Belgium Pro League 2018 album is out
Album holds 378 stickers
New this year, in every pack there is a scratch lotery ticket with wich you can win free packs

 

[redwhite]

Here are some pictures of the album




Each sealed packet includes 5 stickers and one scratch card. After scratching +/- 15 cards I could find already 2 cards with free packets.



There are also 5 different cover packets, just like last season



very good quality stickers (thicker than the cheap EC-stickers for example)



Here is the index page. PO1 is based on the ranking of last season, PO2 and 1B (2nd division) is alphabetically.



The 6 teams who played PO1 last season have 4(!) pages in the album.
Each team has 28 (!) stickers
1 badge, 4 stickers of the team, 1 stickers of the trainer and 22 of the players





The 9 teams who played PO2 + RAFC Antwerp have 2 pages in the album and has 18 stickers each
no team picture. Only 1 sticker of the badge, 1 trainer, and 16 players


the 8 teams playing in 1B (2nd division) have only 1/2 page
The players are also shown on a very small format.

Thanks @redwhite It is quite a step-change from last season’s album (design, number of stickers etc).

I like the Division 2 pages! Nice use of small stickers (maybe I’ll think different when I see the album in my hands). No room for OH Leuven’s manager sadly! Hoping a few Leicester players get a run out there!

We have seen the small stickers (6 in 1) of the 2nd division before in Football 2012.

Personally I prefer the concept of previous edition (Pro League 2017): 2 pages for 1B with 19 stickers each team.
Also the focus on PO1-teams of last season is not my cup of tea (28 stickers vs 18 stickers) due it's an album of this season.

Here is the manager of OHL: Nigel Pearson
the previous manager Dennis van Wijk was fired the 22th of September, so the stickers are up to date

Great stuff thanks @redwhite Nice seeing that the managers get a section on the sticker too!

I wonder if there will be updates like previous seasons?

I wonder if there will be updates like previous seasons?

Maybe, at least KAS Eupen has a new head coach (Claude Makélélé)

But I have really no idea if an update set will come out, last edition had no updates, only 2 reprinted stickers.

This is the easiest set to complete so far. I think I have about +/- 50 doubles and I still have 15 unopened packs left from the box.

Till now I noticed 1 error, the nationality of KV Kortrijk player Teddy Chevalier. He's marked with a Belgian flag while he's French.

 

[Sandstorm]

I noticed 2 errors.

KV Mechelen goalkeeper Colin Coosemans is born in 1992, not in 1982.

Standard goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is born on 13.7.85, not on 31.5.79. This is the birthdate of the other goalkeeper of Standard, Jean-François Gillet.

If you want to complete a set easily, my advice is to buy a box of 100 packets (70 EUR).

A friend collector bought 2 x 50 packets from the promo action (2 x 30 EUR) and he has a lot of doubles and is still looking for many stickers.
