It's a tough, unpredictable league.

The Premier League is a professional soccer league in England that began in 1992 as the successor of the Football League (predecessor to the Premier League). It has become one of the most popular sports leagues in the world and it is regarded by many people as the most difficult league in the world to play.

It is also a highly lucrative league with some of the world's top players playing for it. In addition to winning a number of trophies, Premier League clubs often pay record transfer fees for players.

There are 20 teams in the league, each of which plays 38 matches during a season. A club's points are based on how many goals they score and how many draws they have. The winners of each match are awarded three points. A draw is worth one point and a loss is worth zero points.

The top three teams in the Premier League qualify for the UEFA Champions League group stages, while the fourth-placed team in the league qualifies for the UEFA Europa League. A fifth-placed team in the Premier League also qualifies for the UEFA Europa league, but only if they have not already qualified for Europe through other means.

Aside from the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, other major competitions in the Premier League include the FA Cup and the League Cup. A Premier League team may also qualify for the UEFA Super Cup, which is a tournament to determine the best domestic side in Europe.

Each Premier League team plays one home and one away game per season, for a total of 38 games. The highest-ranking team in the standings is known as champion.

As of December 2017, the Premier League is the world's most lucrative sports league. The average annual income of a player in the top flight is PS2 million, while a player in the second-tier Championship makes PS1 million annually.

In terms of total income, the top two teams in the league make a combined PS6 billion per year. This is more than the annual income of the next four highest-ranking teams in the league.
