Loool not far offAt this point, the Argentina Super League is definitely above La Liga...
I think one and five are pretty solid right now. You can chop and change the rest (2-4, 6-10) in some order and I don't think you can argue too seriously in any direction.
I will say I find it pretty hard to call Scotland a top 10 league when their only two clubs expected to compete in Europe aren't very good.

Top 5 is pretty obvious. Order can be debated but I would say:
EPL
Bundesliga
Serie A
Ligue 1
La Liga
But I think that could easily be debated. The next 5 you got the Dutch league, Belgian League, Brazil, Argentina, MLS, Liga MX, Championship, Portugal that could all be debated to varying degrees.

I said varying at least. I made sure to include Argentina too
This season?
You need to watch L1 more. In no way is it under Serie A. And arguably BL.
Ligue 1 is still an easy #5. I also don't think Liga MX, MLS, or Championship qualify, but like I said, outside of really England (and IMO France), there's an easy argument to make for a wide range of leagues.

Wish I could. ESPN is supposed to be buying the rights so just waiting on that. I have that tier very similar where they’re like 2A/B/C.
Disagree. La Liga is bad and I’d say is an easy 5 while Italy/Germany/France are all the same level for me.
It's a down year at the top, especially Barcelona, but there's a solid mid-table in Spain (Atleti too obviously) with Sevilla, Betis, Real Sociedad, Villareal that tips it in favor of La Liga.

Ligue 1 has definitely improved but I need to see what their teams do in Europa this season before I'm ready to have them overtake La Liga for example. Yeah La Liga is down but Villarreal, Sevilla, Sociedad, Betis.. etc are still doing well in Europe. L1 needs to show me more than they have in the past.
IMO, this summer has helped EPL separate itself from the other leagues. They brought tons of talents while every other league except L1 lost theirs.
As I said, the coaching has helped Ligue 1 tremendously, but keeping the players and bringing tons of new talent (Messi, Donnarumma, Wij, Ramos, Hakimi, Mendes for PSG, but also Saliba, Guendouzi, Under, Boadu, Stengs, Gerson, Kluivert, Todibo, Sulemana, Santamaria, Majer, Shaqiri, Boateng, Milik, Lirola, Harit, Nubel, etc...) while keeping those who were supposed to leave (Aouar, Doku, Tcouhameni, Kamara, Paqueta, Guimaraes, Denayer, Bade, Boudaoui, Gouiri, etc...).

Shouldn't be the only measuring stick.
Lille for instance has been awful, but that doesn't mean the talent isn't there. And they also dominated Wolfsburg big time in the previous game (and Wolfsburg is higher in the BL than Lille in L1). Monaco should play the CL and was robbed because of the new rule and lack of luck.
Would you say Belgium league = french league and > Bundesliga because of Brugges' results?
Nice isn't in Europe either and they are clearly a very good team this year.

What has happened to put Serie A at 5? Just Lukaku and Ronaldo leaving?

Of the top 5 leagues, I don’t see why the Bundesliga is so highly rated. There is not one good defensive unit in the league and the quality is lacking compared to the PL, Serie A or La Liga. 4th or 5th is right for the Bundesliga. Not even sure the quality of the Bundesliga is better than Ligue 1.

I don’t see Lukaku and Ronaldo leaving as that big a deal I guess. Fit Osimhen and Vlahovic make up for that in entertainment value. Are we talking about entertainment here? Because Serie A is extremely entertaining. Even Mourinho understands you can’t play boring football anymore there.
