Where would we finish in other leagues.

[JamesfromlondonLCFC]

So, hypothetically (and assuming we were 'used' to the other leagues) how would we compare to the top teams in other countries? comparisons are often made between the big boys in each of Europe's leagues, but how would we fair? it's a weird one, really not a lot of actual 'evidence' to go off, but an interesting question to ask, and one that ultimately could let us know where we stand among the best in world football.

Forest Green Rovers?

[norwichfox]

I think we'd do well in the Welsh Football League....

[Guest the fox]

6th in the calcio and la liga , 4th in bundesliga and ligue 1

[Izzy]

I reckon we'd be top 2 in the Scottish, Dutch, Belgium and any Scandinavian League

 

Top 4 in the Portuguese & French league

 

Top 6 German, Italian or Spanish league

 

Something like that.....

[StanSP]

6th in Bundesliga (although look how tight that league is right now - 6 points separate 2nd to 10th!)
7th in La Liga - (behind Barca, Real, Atletico, Sevilla, Villarreal, Valencia)
5th in Ligue 1 (behind PSG, Monaco, Marseille, Lyon)

6th/7th in Serie A (behind Juve, Napoli, Roma, Inter, Lazio, Atalanta)

Granted it's shite..  But not THAT shite!! 

[ARM1968]

Only storm Forest could muster up would be one in a tea cup. 

 

As fir for all other European leagues - Greek league we’d likely win. Turkish league top 2. Swiss League top 2. Spain, Italy and German leagues about where we are in ours. Reasonable shout at winning most of the others.

Above 19996th from that one with 20,000 leagues,

and just fathomed 19990th under, I cant sea   see..

FWIW, the FiveThirtyEight "Global Club Soccer Rankings" currently have us 56th in the world: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/global-club-soccer-rankings/: below 13 La Liga, 11 Bundesliga, 8 Serie A, and even 4 Russian Premier League clubs.

 

I know this is a pure quant-based method, and I know I might be a little biased, but I think City are better than 31st-place Atalanta (and I'd hope that Yohan Benalouane would agree).

 

Edit: Forest have climbed 22 places to the dizzying heights of 366th.

Reckon we'd be in the title race in anything outside the 'top 5' leagues. Probably champions league places outside PL, La Liga and Serie A.

Love that Everon are ranked 102nd 

[jayfox26]

Scottish: 1st

French: 3rd

Dutch: 1st

Belgian: 1st

All Scandinavian leagues: 1st

Italy: top 4

Spain: top 5 (personally only think Real, Barce and Atletico are better than us. I know Valencia are having a good season but I wouldn't say they are any better than us and same with Sevilla and Villareal) 

 Portugal 1st. Proper shit that league!

Germany: 3rd. 

 

Maybe I overestimate our team a bit ?

I don't like this thread. And I'm too drunk to explain why. We're in this league. And we're seventh.

[UPinCarolina]

I’d like to think we could be somewhere in the top 5 of every league, bar the PL and La Liga.

[Donut]

I reckon if you looked around Europe:

 

We would be big favourites to win the all the "minor" leagues, Belgian, Greek, Turk. Swedish, Norwegian, Danish

 

We would challenge to win the Dutch League, Russian, Swiss, and have a great chance of winning the league but it would be more difficult

 

Next level up would be Ukrainian, Portuguese. We would challenge for a champions league place, but they contain good teams that have excellent players.

 

Then Italy and France, I think a champions league place would be beyond us partly because of big teams, partly due to less champions league places.

 

Then Spain and Germany would be the highest level. No chance of winning the league, but perhaps marginally more chance of a champions league place than England.

Think people are overestimating us tbh. Don't think we'd be able to compete with Ajax/PSV in Holland. Interesting topic tbf but too many variables, Mahrez would be off halfway through our first good season if we were playing in Holland fo example like most good players. Same with Ukraine and maybe Russia. We'd probably struggle with every away game mainly with the travel which is hard to get your head around in comparison with the distances we have to travel

[TheLittleBigMan]

3rd in the NBA

1st in the NFL

6th in the AFL

I think you are looking into this far too deeply

Win pretty much all of them, it's a well known fact that foreign football is bullshit besides Barcelona and Bayern Munich
