The Irish Premier Division is called the SSE Airtricity League for sponsorship purposes. There are 12 teams in the division, and each team plays every other opponent three times. That means we'll play some opponents twice at home, and others only once.

Here's the league table from 2014.

Limerick and Bray Wanderers were relegated to the First Division, making room for us and Cobh Ramblers.

I think Ireland receive one spot in the Champions League and three in the Europa League. The fact that we play summer football makes the schedule a bit harder to follow. I'll pay attention to that and revise it if I need to.

It's pretty clear that the "experts" think there's a Big Four, maybe a Big Five, in Ireland. I'm somewhat pleasantly surprised to see us tipped for a potential mid-table finish. I was wondering how much I might have to make my squad over in order to stay up, and it seems I might not have to change much more than I already have.

More on that, soon.
