At the beginning of the tournament, many people were afraid of the team, because top scorer Barnabas Varga left in the summer, and the 29-year-old midfielder is a versatile striker who can hit the goal with the right, left and the ball. head. Only Daniel Body, a similar type of striker, remained in the team, but the professional staff did not build the team's attacking style around the 37-year-old striker. Of course, Janos Hahn, Norbert Koneves and Alen Scriabin are also members of the squad, but they are completely different types of strikers, while Peter Beck, signed from Budavok in the Second Division, was considered a first-line rookie. Regardless of all this, Pax started the tournament well, because in addition to away draws against MTK (1-1) and Debrecen (1-1), they beat Ogpest 3-0 at home. Then came the heavy defeat against Ferencvaros (1-6) at Groupama Arena. The final score was already decided after the first half, and coach György Bognar stated that perhaps the team's jacket was bigger than previously expected. However, it seems that the deep strike was good for the green and white team, because eight consecutive unbeaten tournaments followed, four of which (Fehervár 2–0, Puskas Academia 2–0, Debrecen 2–0, MTK 0–0) were unsuccessful. . They conceded one goal but scored seventeen.

As a result of the excellent performance, they were able to catch up with Ferencvaros, and although the champions played one less game, the Bucks collected the same number of points as their rivals. The defeat to Debrecen (0-1) ended the Bucks' eight-game losing streak, but at that time we were already in the thirteenth round, and this was only their second defeat. In addition, three victories followed, after Diosgir (4-1) and Ujpest (2-1) fought at home against Ferencvaros (3-2), and with the last victory it became certain that Pax is in first place regardless of the results of the autumn round. The last one ends the year. In the First Division, the team has never scored thirty-four points in the fall season, and in addition, like the Puskas Academy, they have lost only three times in seventeen rounds. In addition to striker Norbert Koneves, Josef Wendekker, a defensive midfielder, also scored six goals, and although the professional crew is also counting on youth, it is worth noting that Palash Balogh is already 33 years old, Daniel Body is 37, and Norbert. Koneves, 34 years old, János Szabo, 34 years old, and Peter Szapanos, 33 years old.

Best Bucks game of the fall
Scoring five goals away from home is certainly a great performance, as they did against champion Zalajerzej (5-2) in the 10th round, but the Pax may have played better in the 14th round. Diosgir were defeated 4-1 at home, and in the 27th minute they were already three goals ahead.

At the same time, three penalty kicks were awarded against Pax, Antonio Mance (ZTE FC) in the 10th round and Rudy Bozig Vancas (Diosgir) made no mistake in the 14th round, but Balazs Dzudzzak made a foul in the 13th round.
The most beautiful Pax goal in the fall
Attila Osvath scored one goal in the first half of the tournament, but the defender's job is not to score goals. Anyway, he did it in the ninth round against Kecskimet (1-1) at home and gave his team the lead in the 69th minute.
