The League Table

For those of you that were hoping for an Arsenal relegation or a Wrexham Champions League push, you may be disappointed with how this league table looks.

The biggest surprise is seeing Ipswich Town back in the top flight, with the Tractor Boys managing an impressive 6th place finish in only their second season back in the Premier League.

West Brom also find themselves back in England's top tier, but rather remarkably the rest of the division is exactly the same as we find it now.

With many fans concerned the Premier League could stagnate if different teams don't start appearing in the top division, has Football Manager 2022 confirmed that we could still be seeing the same sides battling it out in ten years time?

Past Winners

With the bulk of the division looking the same, have there been any surprise winners of the division in the past ten years?

Whilst there is no Leicester City romantic story, Newcastle United have finally managed to win the Premier League, capturing back-to-back titles in 2029/30 and the 2030/31 season.

Manchester United etched their name back onto the story in 2024, with Tottenham sneaking in for a surprise claiming of the trophy in 2027.

Manchester City and Chelsea share the spoils for the top spot with three league titles each in the past decade, but will either of them be able to overthrow the Geordie force that is beginning to establish dominance in England?

Top Performers

You may not be surprised to read that Erling Haaland is the Premier League's biggest superstar in 2031, with the Norwegian captaining Manchester City and breaking Premier League goalscoring records.

Scoring 30+ league goals in 4 of his past 5 seasons, Haaland has lit up the top flight since his £138 million move from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
