Standard is quite good in the Premiership, though several very good players have had to opt out in the last few seasons which is a shame. To give you an idea of level, i'd say about 5 or 6 of us are in Division 1 in H2H Seasons. But that can be false statistic as i know there are some really tough players who aren't very highly ranked. Only way to judge the level is to play the people yourself.

Championship can be a mixed bag, their are some good players who just don't take the league as competitively but are still a real handful. ( Won't ruin the surprise for you of who they are ;D )

However its the fresh blood that helps to keep things interesting as there is the "unknown" factor. So welcome to all the new players, i look forward to our future matches!

PS: This is me being nice before the league starts, give it a few game weeks and i'll be a lot b*tchier with my posts! So apologies in advance.

How were people picked into premiership/championship? I'm a new comer and got Premier, just curious

Nah, I'd rate Madrid, Barca and Bayern before them to be honest. City have no player like Ronaldo or Messi who is ridiculously good, just plenty of solid players.

Dzeko is a lethal finisher alright but Tevez is a good option up front too.

I'm a newcomer too and I'm in Division 4 in H2H. Been languishing between Division 5/6 for a while but finally got into 4.

Newcomer, Division 2 in the H2H Seasons, a formidable opponent!

Newcomers were spread across the 2 divisions. We had 3 divisions last year so had to even things out between 2 divisions this time without messing with last seasons standings too much either.

[Lemlin]

Have we to start adding people in our divisions as friends or what way does that work?

[jamescd]

You can add them now or you can add when you're due to play each other. Whatever's convenient for you

[Axwell]

The fixture list will be going up Friday and the league starting Friday evening so you can add them now for handiness sake.

[Shanotheslayer]

Lads just letting you know for those who'll i'll be fixed against: Working friday evening 6-10 so will be available after 11 to play. Working all day sat. Sunday be avail after 10pm and usually free Monday nights, tuesday days and all day wednesday
