⚽ Leagues around the world

Superliga: Denmark’s top competition

How good is Danish football?

Why it’s worth watching: The Danish league isn't necessarily where a lot of stars play – but quite a few interesting players started their careers there and then moved to larger teams. Can you spot the next big talents while their at the very early stage of their careers? Also, it's pretty competitive on both ends of the table – results are pretty unpredictable.

Three things you should know:

• Total attendance was narrowly below two million fans last season. It was a new record, meaning that every game was on average attended by slightly more than 10,000 spectators.

• FC Copenhagen has won the title a record 15 times. Last season, however, they lost out in the title race to champions Midtjylland.

• There are four teams from the greater Copenhagen area, the other eight teams are from Jutland. No other part of Denmark is currently represented in the top flight.

By the numbers: Out of the 12 teams, FC Copenhagen has the highest market value at €76.9 million. Newly promoted Sønderjyske has the lowest market value at €9.18 million. (Source: www.transfermarkt.com)

💯 Our player of the week

Nico Schlotterbeck (Borussia Dortmund): 100 points against Eintracht Frankfurt

Borussia Dortmund got off to a good start in the Bundesliga, winning 2-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt. It was Nuri Sahin's first league game in charge of his new team, and Nico Schlotterbeck was part of a defence that ensured a clean sheet. From a fantasy perspective, he delivered a brilliant performance, finishing with a perfect score for every manager who had him in their line-ups.
