Obviously the Big1+3 are miles ahead of everyone else, but which national leagues are the next strongest? Not just who has one or two moneyball clubs, but overall depth of quality and support. How many non-European leagues make the Top 10?

I think you're being too unfair with Portugal. The lower teams are shite but the top 3 alone would make it better than Argentina, which has a thirty teams league with lots of shitters.

3 things are important when rating a league
>competitive balance top to bottom
>cyclical dominance
>skill level
>tactical level
>talent production or development
Anything else is meme. Muh money means nothing if it doesn't result in anything.

Now, answering your questions:
>but which national leagues are the next strongest?
Overall, Brasileirão only loses to the Premier League
>How many non-European leagues make the Top 10?
Only Brasileirão. Portugal, Netherland, Belgium, Turkey close off the top 10. Japan has great tactical level, MLS has great balance due to its commie league system, Argentina has great talent production, but overall they have glaring weakness.

I may be giving Boca and River too much credit, that could be. As I said, I am definitely no expert on the Argie league, even compared to what I know of the Brazilian league. I have no problem with Portugal being 9th. I just didn’t want to undersell South America, I suppose …
I also increasingly think the Dutch league is ahead of the Belgian one … I thought Belgium was ahead in the UEFA coefficient and on the rise in general, but that isn’t really true as of now. Then the question remains Belgium vs. Portugal … Portugal is ahead in the UEFA coefficient, albeit not by that much, and I assume the quality runs deeper in Belgium. Since both leagues will likely be neck and neck in the coefficient once Belgium‘s ghastly 21/22 season will be deleted next year, I will give Belgium the benefit of the doubt here
So I‘d put it at
>5th: France
>6th: Brazil (very close)
>7th: Netherlands
>8th: Belgium
>9th: Portugal
>10th: Argentina

Brazil being 5th remains a real possibility. That’s very impressive considering the UEFA clubs have more money and the CL to attract players with
