Counted over every recorded season of this competition, not the page of the roll of honour below. Placings point at teams rather than clubs, because international tournaments are won by national teams. Confirmed overall winners in every recorded season; abandoned, cancelled and no-data seasons are excluded and stage placings are counted separately.

Points are shown as the database stores them, including deductions, so they will not always match a total derived from wins and draws — and wins, draws and losses need not add up to games played. A blank cell is a figure the source does not record; it is never a zero.

Every club naming this competition as its current division, with the squad of the team that shares the club uid. Average ability, CA16, PA16, average age, squad value and wage bill are the FMDB's own figures over each club's whole squad; hover one for the population it was computed from. CA16 and PA16 are the means of the sixteen highest abilities and potentials, a coded potential counted at its band midpoint as on the club page. Ages are taken at 1 July 2019, the start of the 2019–20 season. Balance is the club's authored club_finance_detail.cash; reputation, capacity and attendance are stored club figures.

A season links to its league table only where team_league_history records one. The top scorer is the rank-1 winner of the one award of type “Most goals scored” scoped to this competition, with the goals it records; no single award can be identified as the player of the season, so that column points to the Awards panel.

Media prediction

Recorded
Predicted Club Last position
—No member club carries a recorded prediction.—

The predicted finish is the authored club_media_expectation.expected_league_finish. Last position is club_team.last_position as stored, in whatever competition the team last played, so for a club that has just joined it is not a place in this division.

Derbies in this division

0 between member clubs
Derby Clubs W–D–L National reputation
No derby in this version is between two of this competition's clubs.

Derbies between two clubs that both name this competition as their current division. derby.competition_uid is empty in every loaded export, so this is the only way a derby belongs to a league. W–D–L is the first-named club's record as stored.

All-time records

FMDB calculation

Most goals and appearances in this division, summed from the playing history of every person this database records.

It counts only the people the export carries, it can include seasons the source files under this competition from before it took its current form, and some players are listed by uid because their person record is missing. The page states each of these.

Member teams

20 clubs name this as their division

Last position is club_team.last_position as stored. The manager is the current staff_history spell at the club — the one whose end date is absent or in the future, most recent join first — never club_team.manager_index, which is a raw internal index that joins to nothing.

  • club_media_expectation, club_finance_detail Media prediction and club balances across the division Now liveThe predicted finish of every member club and each club's authored cash balance, where the version exports them.
  • player_history.division_uid All-time goals and appearances in the division Now liveAn FMDB sum over the people this database records, on its own page. Players with no person record are listed by uid; seasons the source files under this competition before it took its current form are included and dated.
  • derby, club.division_uid Derbies between member clubs Now livederby.competition_uid is empty in every export, so a derby belongs to a division when both its clubs name that division.
  • comps_competition, comps_stage and stage promotion, relegation and play-off tables Format, promotion, relegation, play-offs and qualification Needs source dataThe comps.dbc archive tables are empty in every loaded export. The format panel shows the clubs that joined and left since the latest recorded season table as an FMDB comparison, which is not a count of promotion places.
  • competition rules, nation_foreign_rule, nation_agreement Registration size, home-grown quotas, foreign-player limits and age rules Partial exportNation foreign/non-foreign definitions and agreements are exported, but do not supply the complete competition registration rules.
  • competition income and prize schedules Prize money, television distributions and sponsor Needs source dataThe current catalog does not provide these competition-level schedules and contracts.

  • club.division_uid, stadium and primary-team squads League strength and leading players Now liveStrength and ability rankings use clubs naming this division, with a 100-club cap. League totals are withheld on overflow.
  • person.date_of_birth, export_meta.game_start_year Best young players in the league Now liveUnder-21s at 1 July of the exported game start year, ranked on recorded potential. Versions without a start year say so; coded potential bands are not ranked.
  • award_scope, award_type, award_history_winner Top scorer and player-of-season awards by season Now liveScoped awards are listed with their latest winner and the top scorer fills the roll of honour where exactly one most-goals award is scoped. No award type identifies a single player of the season, so that column stays empty. CSV-era exports have no award scope.
  • comp_history and Honours Titles per team over recorded history Now liveCounts use the bounded history query, not just the displayed page, and apply available edition and stage flags. Coverage is stated.
  • competition across versions, export_value_scale Recorded names and reputation across versions Now liveThese are real version records. Reputation is shown against its stated 1–200 scale where the export records one; the cross-version chart still plots raw values.

Reviewed 30 September 2026 against the current schema and page implementation. “Now live” means implemented where data is recorded; “Exported; UI pending” means the schema has data this page does not yet use. Tables and coverage vary by version. Missing values stay blank.
