A New Challenge, Part Two

It is now the 24th of June, 2123, we are 100 years into the future.

Database size has shrunk slightly, to 63K players, the playable Leagues have remained the same. save size, 772MB.

So, what has changed? For the Countries I have loaded not named Spain, not too much.

England:

Tottenham has won the League.
Blackburn finished 7th, but missed out on European Football
Luton Town avoids the drop.

Craziest finish so far: 2101/02, When West Ham, Bristol City, and Brentford finished 1,2,3 on the same points, 72, separated by goal differential.
Tottenham had 103 points in 2019/92.

The Prem has been a Arsenal v Tottenham the last decade.

In the Championship, Oldham misses out on promotion due to goal difference.
Eastleigh is back mid table.
Palace languishes in mid table.

League One
Villa has fallen to mid table.
Wrexham has fallen to midtable as well.

Ipswich is relegated

France:

Ligue 1
Monaco won by 16, beating ASSE.
They have 8 teams in European Football.
PSG last won the League in 2104, since then it has been Monaco, Nice and St. Etienne.

Craziest Finish so far: 2102/2103 PSG finished 1sr on 76 points, Bordeaux on 74, ASSE And Monacao on 74, OGC Nice on 73.

Germany:

Bundesliga
Gladbach won the League
Bayern has won the League 4 times since 1090, since then it has been RB Leipzig for the most part.
St. Pauli regularly finishes top 5.
Dynamo Dresden and Hansa Rostock are top flight.

Craziest finish thus far: When the firstplace team isn’t beating everyone by 20 points, probably 2087, when Leipzig finished 1st ahead of Bayern, despite drawing 10 games and only losing 1, on a +3 goal differential. Bayern won the CL that year though, so they are probably OK.

Hannover and Schalke have fallen down to 3. Liga

Italy:

Serie A
Genoa won the League this year. Bari finished 4th, Lazio 12th.

Serie A has been won by Juve more often than not, and not a lot of other teams have won it multiple times in a row until recently, with Milan at 4.

Craziest finish thus far: 2076. Juve won 32, Drew 4, and lost 2 to finish with 100 points, and came in second to Fiorentina, who went 33/4/1 to finish with 103 points. Fiorentina’s bestest friend? Benvento, who finished 4th and beat Juve 2-0.

In Serie B, Atalanta finished 5th because Salernitana beat them head to head.
Sampdoria and Torino are relegated to Serie C.

Parma, Bologna, Sassualo are in Serie C.

Craziest finish so far: Probably 2071/72, when everyone beat up on everyone and Santa Clara won the League with 69 points, the lowest points total ever if my search-fu is correct.

Europe:

Champions League
Until Bayern won back to back games in 2115/2116, the last team to win back to back (or more) was Arsenal 15 years earlier.
