players and staffs including Sun Gang as managerial director, Fan Yuhong as general manager, Liu Jianjiang and Li Yuanping as coach, and Zhang Jun as manager,[1] under the financial support of anonymous local housing property corp and other investors including representative closed to former Shenzhen Ruby and JianLiBao corp owner Zhang Hai.

Zhang Jun's designated direct tactic to fit the three towering target men who have experience at higher-tier league didn't work very well, despite the team was solid in defense and threatening in set-pieces.

However the fortune twisted at the last step from promotion, in the 2nd round of play-off semi final away at Huangshi against Hubei China-Kyle, a bitter rival throughout the year who Fengpeng won 3 and drew 1 in different occasions.

The team received hostile reception from local fans due to Zhang Jun's past history of some controversial occasions during his playing time at Hubei Province.

During the match, Fengpeng lost their most threatening and tactically valuable target man Yang Changpeng, who is also from Hubei and played in local clubs before, from an unnecessary incident overreacted by both sides and even the referees.
