Hi, I'm thinking of getting FM Handheld (either 2008 or 2007 if I can't wait!) but I can't find anywhere a complete league list for either of them.

In particular, I want to know about the bottom end of the scale... in the PC FM games I enjoyed playing with lower league teams and trying to take them to the top. So what's the lowest level English league that's playable in 2007? And how about 2008?

Lowest level is the 'Conference' in England.

Oh and leagues were:

England (down to conference)
A League (Australia)
Portuguese 1st & second divisions
Belgian 1st & second divisions
France (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)
Holland (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)
Italy (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)
Germany (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)
Spain (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)
Scotland (can't remember off top of my head - will check and edit post later)

As usual there are all the normal international and continental competitions you'd expect eg.

World Cup Qualifying
European Championship
Asian Nations Cup
Champions League
EUFA Cup
etc.

Holland has the 1st and 2nd league, don't know about the others...

On FM Handheld 2007, the leagues Marc didn't mention were:

France (Ligue 1, Ligue 2, National)
Netherlands (Eredivisie, Eerste Divisie)
Italy (Serie A, Serie B, Serie C1)
Germany (1. Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga, Regionalliga)
Spain (La Liga, Segunda, Segunda B)
Scotland (SPL, Div 1, 2, 3)


Shame on you, Marc, for not knowing the Scottish divisions at the very least!

Also, if the screenshots on Gamespot are anything to go by, they're also the leagues on FM Handheld 2008, give or take any new divisions which aren't apparent).

Thanks for beating me to it chaps .... sorry but I have a nasty tendancy to play just in England in my 'home' games - part of being a Brighton fan is having a love for the english lower leagues (heck as a Brighton fan I've got to see a LOT of them ).

Thanks everyone, that's really helpful.
