Understanding The Premier League



The Premier League has 20 teams. 스포츠토토 They each played twice during the season - once at home and once on the road - for a total of 38 games. The team that finishes the most points at the end of those games (there are no Premier League qualifiers) is the champion.

The main attractions of the Premier League are the vast number of world-class players, the different soccer styles among most teams, and the often noisy crowds up and down England and Wales. Many of the Premier League games feature unpredictable outcomes, where it’s often very difficult to predict where the clubs will finish in the standings (aka league table), as opposed to other leagues such as Spain where the top two teams (Barcelona and Real Madrid) always seem to win every week. 


The Premier League teams that finish in the bottom three of the standings each season are relegated to the second tier of English soccer, known as the Championship. The top four teams qualify for the UEFA Champions League, which is the most high-profile club soccer tournament in the world featuring the best teams from Europe competing against each other from the group stages (in September) through to the final in May. 


The top four teams qualify for the Champions League, although the fourth placed team must compete in the Champions League play-off (beginning in August) to qualify for the group stage. The fifth-placed team in the Premier League automatically qualifies for the UEFA Europa League, and the sixth and seventh-placed teams can also qualify, depending on the winners and runners-up of the two domestic competitions (FA Cup and League Cup); if the winner of the FA Cup qualifies for the Champions League, then that place will go to the runner-up, and if the runner-up is also already qualified, then that place will go to the next-best placed finisher in the Premier League. If the winner of the League Cup has already qualified, that place goes to the next-best placed team in the league.


The traditional standard for safety from deduction is up to 40 points. Similarly, standing at the bottom of a table on Christmas day is generally considered a death sentence. It is rare for a team with 40 points to surrender and for the underwater inhabitants at Christmas to stay.
