Hey Guys. I'm going to be running a league with the best teams from the top leagues in the best footballing countries in the World. Countries like Spain, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, England (Hah!) etc....

I'm choosing the 20 teams, and I will decide the fixtures. Every sunday, new fixtures will be put up. Matches take place on a saturday, and through the week, you can vote on who you think will win the matches. On fridays, I will count up which teams have the most votes, and they will win their match that week. The more votes, the higher the score!

Example
Man United V Barcelona

Barca have 74 votes, Man United have 31.

Barcelona win 3-1!

Are we supposed to give points determined on how we imagine the matches would happen in real life, or on who we'd prefer to win?

You say what scoreline you think would happen in real life mate

And God, I'm going to give who scored and how they did it. Like "Iniesta headed home in the 90th minute, from a perfect Messi cross, to make the game 4-1.
For derbies I'm going to write a little report, seeing as it's a big match.

Hope this helps.

Can same the same with the Asian teams (including Sydney FC), Middle eastern ones & Leeds. Could of refined the list a little bit by asking others what they thought of the top 20 teams, could of maybe introduced a G14 sort of backstory towards it but aside from those negatives seeems a nice niche sort of idea.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I thought I had put this in the backstory, but it was the best teams from every continent. Sydney are the best in Oceana, Seoul are the best in Asia. I also saw the two Middle Eastern teams in action once and thought they were quite good so decided to add them. Leeds are my team so I had to put them in.

Do you have any ideas who should be in? Feel free to tell me so I know?
