On the debit side, Rhys Smith has returned to England, Constantin Staib plays with UHC Hamburg and George Baker has also continued.
Polo open their campaign on Saturday with a local derby against UHC, while their thoughts will also look at Wimbledon in the EHL KO16 on October 9one.
Crefelder HTC was the surprise champions last season and are therefore directly to the Final8 of the EHL. They start their season with an away game to Munich on Saturday without the services of Linus Michler who moved to Klein Switzerland this season.
Of the other major players, Mannheim has added the Australian player Jacob Andersson, but see Raphael Hartkopf go to Rot-Weiss Köln while Andrea Rafi returns to Barcelona.
Pasha Gademann is back in the coaching role with Rot-Weis, but will not have the services of Thies Ole Prinz (Pinoké) and Elian Mazkour (Bloemendaal) who are now in the Netherlands.
Mannheim starts their season against newly promoted Gladbacher HTC on Saturday, while Rot-Weiss goes to TSV Mannheim on Sunday.
