I do not believe real football is like this. I'm not overly familiar with the tiered system in Europe, but I cannot imagine there are more than 4 tiers of teams. I mean by this that even should a top flight squad get relegated to the depths of the lower divisions, there is only a couple of tiers to climb before the pinnacle is reached. Building my current squad at level 4 seems completely pointless when I fathom that there is no top tier to strive for, and no end in sight.

    Depends on the organization. In Germany there are 12 levels but, below level 3, you have a large pyramid

    -
    - - - - -
    - - - - - - - - -- -
    etc

    In England, it can go down to level 22 (Sussex Division 9), but the system is like

    etc.

    Anyway there's no record of a team which climbed more than 4 level or 5 levels. Some teams take decades to climb 1 level, because in real life the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Preston North End has been trying to get back to the top tier since 1961 without success.

    And of course, only 4 teams in the whole country go to the Champions League. There are only 6 "champions leagues" in the whole world. One for each continent, Europe: Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania.
