Description:

Ever want to run a real English soccer club such as Manchester United,
Everton or West Ham United? As the manager of your
respective English club, you make all the decisions, match startegies,
trades, transfers and match lineups for your club. You run
your clubs' finances, make the contracts and talk to other managers from
around the world. It is your job to build your club into
England's best. Welcome to the PSL!

The PSL is a football/soccer simulation that uses real-time stats (such as
Shooting, Passing, Offence, Defence and Speed) from
REAL players around the world (like Beckham, Owen, Suker ect.) Allowing
managers to custom-tailor their Club's Offensive,
Defensive or Speed skills. Therefore It would be easy to create a team
that bases its tactics/strategies on speed rather than
defence or even offence. This league places an emphasis on good management
techniques, in both the short term (through
match strategies and transfers and long term (through training youth and
building a powerful club.)

The simulator used for the league is of my own creation, which compares
each team's ratings against each others to determine
how many shots there were in the game (similiar to MSWL's formulas). Other
factors come into play such as penalty shots,
Corner kicks, fouls and rookie mistakes (having too many young players in
your squad) that can also effect the number of shots
per game for each club.

The league contains two divisions, the premiere division and Division one
and will include a promotion and regulation system to
transfer clubs from each division. In total there will be 18 Clubs to
choose from in the 1st season of the PSL, 10 Clubs in the
Premiere Division and 8 within the 1st Division.

This league welcomes not only potential managers but also lurkers who are
curious about the league and would like to follow it
for a while.
