At this point, on slower machines it can take a bit to load.

Around 2200 is when you start to see a decent amount of changes, especially in ‘lower’ leagues.

England

Hull have won the Prem. Man City have been relegated.
The early 2200’s were all Norwich, as they won 24 times in 27 years
Lots of new teams in the Championship.
Leicester and Wolves in League One
Palace and Everton in League Two
Stoke is in the Vanarama North.
In 2173 Sheffield United had 4 points, and lost 34 games.

Bundesliga
Bayern is back on top, but teams like Leverkeusen, Dynamo Dresden and others have won as well. Dresden had a decent run about 30 years ago, and has won the CL as well.
In 2176 Hannover had 1 point. They scored 12 goals, and had a -73 Goal differential.

Serie A
Lots of familiar names still, but FerapiSallo? Mestre? Gubbio?
Sassuolo and Atalanta are in Serie B
Brescia, Sampdoria, Salernitana in Serie C

France
PSG still dominates, though Bastia(!), Montpelier and others have managed to sneak a League Championship every once and awhile.
Guingamp had 4 points in 2093, and didn’t win a game.

Spain
Barca and Madrid still fight it out, although there are quite a few new teams in the League.
El Ejido has won a few times, as have Tenerife and Betis.
Villareal and Deprtivo in LaLiga 2, Getafe relegated to the 3rd Division
Bilbao in the 3rd Division…
In 2250, Barcelona had 101 points, and came in Second, because Madrid went Invincible and didn’t lose a game, only drawing 1 (Thanks Zaragoza…)
In 2205, Madrid and Tenerife each had 99 goals for, 24 goals against, but Tenerife lost to Sociadad and finished 3 points behind

Portugal
Benfica is back, although Santa Clara is still winning, as is Lusitania Lourosa, and Sporting

Champions League
Lugano is the only Non Big 6 team to win it recently. Juve did just beat Fenerbahce and Dynao Dresden did beat HJK
Norkoping won it in 2231
Brondby in 2219
Bredablik in 2214
From Sept of 2038 to January of 2056 Basel played 43 Champions LEague matches and did not win…

Europa League is where you see a lot of ‘Mid-Level’ Clubs win
Breiðablik in 2267
Bravo, Honka, BATE, Goteborg, AEK, Vikingur, Celje

Conference League also has some good mid level winners
Craiova, Lokomotiv Plovdiv, Slavan Belupo, Gnistan, Sepsi, Honved, Hapoel Be’er Sheva.
Alot of variety in the winners here.

World Cup
Germany just beat Venezuela
Poland beat Austria in 2246
Chile beat Morocco in 2238
South Korea beat Germany in 2218
Slovakia beat the Netherlands in 2150
Mexico beat Croatia in 2134

This is the point where taking a deeper dive into the save becomes fun, at least for me, as I can compare what happens to some of the other Long Term saves going.

At the moment, every 5 years in the save increases the file size by about 25MB per save. My past experience has been that the save file can go up to about 4.4Gb and then it starts crashing. So if people are interest in a 350 year, 500 year or longer save, I can certainly keep the laptop going, let me know here or on my twitter @FM_Jellico what you would like to see.
