Who Made It Into The League Of All Leagues Positions 45 To 68?

Did Your Football Club Make It Into The Ultimate League Division 1?

As we count down the League of all Leagues, we now reach division 1. So, did your football club make it into our Virtual Football League? We have collated the league standings from every year since the start of the English Premier League. Our tables cover the top 4 divisions and the average position for your club determines which league they sit. If your football club is is our division 1 table, it would be interesting to hear your comments. Are they currently under or over achieving in your opinion?

There are 24 clubs in our League Division 1 table and 5 of these have spent time outside of the top 4 divisions since 1992. They are Tranmere Rovers, Luton Town, Doncaster Rovers, Bristol Rovers and Oxford United. Most fans that face their club being relegated into non-league football despair. However, it appears it isn't the end of the road and many clubs actually come back stronger. My own club Oxford United spent 4 years in the National League which has seriously affected their position. In fact it probably the only reason Swindon Town (our local rivals) finished higher than them in our table.

How Many Clubs In Our League Division 1 Have Played In The English Premiership?

Playing in the English Premiership is the dream of every football fan in the UK. However it can come at great cost and trying to stay there is, for some almost impossible. So, to see your club in our Virtual Football League at div 1 level, suggests your club spent some time overachieving. There are 7 clubs that have played at the highest level since 1992 with only Brighton remaining in the EPL. The others include Swansea City, Hull City, Bournemouth, Blackpool, Bradford City and Oldham Athletic. Brentford have been promoted to the EPL via the play-offs so would now make the 8th club.

Which Clubs Make It Into The Top Half Of The Ultimate League Division 1?

Position	Club	Season In Top 4 Divisions	Average League Position	Currently Under or Over Achieving
45	Swansea City	29	45.4828	Over-achieving
46	Brighton & Hove Albion	29	47.6897	Over-achieving
47	Hull City	29	48.069	Over-achieving
48	Bournemouth	29	48.6552	Over-achieving
49	Brentford	29	48.6552	Over-achieving
50	Blackpool Town	29	51.8966	Over-achieving
51	Swindon Town	29	54.5862	Under-achieving
52	Tranmere Rovers	26	55.2759	Under-achieving
53	Bradford City	29	55.6897	Under-achieving
54	Oldham Athletic	29	56.2759	Under-achieving
55	Peterborough United	29	57.069	Over-achieving
56	Rotherham United	29	57.6552	Over-achieving

To work out if you club is under or over-achieving you need to check their average position in our Virtual Football League. Then compare that with their current position in the live table. If you take Blackpool their average position is 51.8966 however, they finished in 47th place in the 2020/21 season. This gained them promotion via the play-offs and so can be classed as over-achievers. Fans who say them in the Premiership may disagree but, at least they are going back up the table.

Which Clubs Make It Into The Bottom Half Of The Ultimate League Division 1?

Position	Club	Seasons In The Top 4	Average League Position	Currently Under Or Over Achieving
57	Crewe Alexandra	29	58.5862	Over-achieving
58	Walsall	29	59	Under-achieving
59	Gillingham	29	59.3103	Over-achieving
60	Port Vale	29	60.2759	Under-achieving
61	Luton Town	24	61.5862	Over-achieving
62	Plymouth Argyle	29	61.6897	Over-achieving
63	Southend United	29	63.6552	Under-achieving
64	Colchester United	29	64.4138	Under-achieving
65	Doncaster Rovers	24	65.6207	Over-achieving
66	Scunthorpe Town	29	66.5862	Under-achieving
67	Bristol Rovers	28	66.6552	Under-achieving
68	Oxford United	25	66.8621	Over-achieving

Fans of clubs will surely look at their rivals to see how their own club compares. As mentioned Swindon are above Oxford and Bristol Rovers, which should please their fans. Although relegation to live league 2 this season will hurt their position when we review the virtual league next year. Although Swansea City head the table they aren't the highest Welsh club as Cardiff City made it into our virtual Championship table. Look out for that one in our next post. Our previous post looked at those who made it into the Virtual Football League Div 2
