Leagues with Least Games?

Which leagues have the least amount of games in 1 season? Thanks

Dutch and German leagues have 34 matches. MLS has 30 I think.

A-League in Australia has 21 league games. 8 clubs. play each other 3 times during the season

India has 18 games if I recall correctly. Two cups to compete in as well.

Completing a season is pretty quick!

i hate leauge games.

id rather play in scotland were the teams play each other twice = 22games & have an extra cup comp.

The scndanavian lower leagues are pretty short and sweet

Am I missing something? There are more than 22 games in the Scottish leagues. :confused:

There is the split in the Premier but the other divisions have a double round-robin (i.e. play each other 4 times).

i don't follow the scottish leagues too closely, but even i know that!! don't the play each other 4 times and then split into 2 halves and play a few more? i think it's something like that, i know it's a longish season. (no were near as long as Brazil!! it took me nearly 2 months of good playing to get through a whole year! compared to a month in england)

Yes, there is the split in the Premier. Basically, my understanding is that the clubs (12 of them) play each other three times and after this (which will be 33 games) the league splits into a 'top six' and a 'bottom six'. Each club then plays a further five matches against the other five teams in their own section. That's 38 games.

The other divisions are just straight-forward home and aways where clubs play each other four times. 10 teams in each division, thus 36 games.

What is most worrying is that the guy who wrote that they only play 22 games has 'Scotland' written under 'location' in his profile. :confused:

This has changed. I have just checked.

The Indian league has been rebranded as the 'I-League' this season and now has 12 teams (instead of the previous 10).

I presume it is still the straight-forward home and away format making that now 22 games (perfect for the Scottish guy! )

By the way, that is according to good old Wikipedia, so I assume that has been reflected in FM.

Belarussian high league is 24 first season I believe, and then two teams get promoted and you play 28 every season after the first.

Maybe "Scotland" Guy is playin non-league!!

Sweden, some divisions with only 22 games a season.

I was going to say Iceland as in FM08 there was only 18 games with 10 teams but they've increased the league to 12 so its now the same as Sweden with 22 games and there isn't lower than that.

Belgium play 30 games a season from 2010, and only have one cup.

Sweden, some divisions with only 22 games a season.

I can say that this is indeed true, last season I was managing a team in division 2 of Sweden, *technically the 4th tier* and there was only 22 games in the season.

i think what the "scotland" guy meant is that that's what he would prefer the format to be, not what it is.

Hong Kong league has 18 games I think.

Iceland has bugger all a season - 18 if I remember rightly.
