Now the dust has settled on GW1 and everyone focuses their mind onto GW2, behind the scenes at FFS the Head to Head Leagues and fixtures are being created. A total of 5983 managers have entered the first season of FFS H2H. This was far more than I had anticipated and means we’ll have a total of 300 leagues.
Structure
Each league will have 20 teams and will therefore play each other twice across the 38 gameweek season, replicating the real Premier League structure.
Division 1 – 1 League – 20 teams. Bottom 10 teams relegated into Division 2.
Division 2 – 2 Leagues – 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 1. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 3 leagues.
Division 3 – 4 leagues – 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 2. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 4 leagues.
Division 4 – 8 leagues – 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 3. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 5 leagues.
Division 5 – 16 leagues – 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 4. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 6 Leagues.
Division 6 – 32 Leagues –Â 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 5. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 7 Leagues.
Division 7 – 64 Leagues –Â 20 teams in each. Top 5 of each league will be promoted to Division 6. Bottom 10 of each league will be relegated to the Division 8 Leagues.
Division 8 – 173 Leagues – 156 leagues will have 20 teams in each and the remaining 17 leagues will have 19 teams plus the average score. Top 3 of each league will be promoted to Division 7 along with the best 121 4th placed managers. This will be determined by their total H2H points total and overall rank position. No relegation.
Again, I need to mention that all the leagues in each division are weighted equally so for example League 25 in Division 8 is the same level as League 110 in Division 8.
I do need to thank Geoff, Chris and Mat for their hard work behind the scenes over these last few weeks as all 5983 managers have now been ranked, using the HoF ranking system, and placed into the relevant leagues. All 38 gameweek fixtures have been generated and we are currently updating the league tables to reflect the GW1 scores.
We are working hard to get all this information onto FFS website for all to see in time for GW2.
Once the details are live on FFS I will be writing updates on the leagues and any big fixtures across all Divisions.
Many thanks for your patience.
