In the previous top level competition, the UFL, blowouts were depressingly common. That was understandable since fully professional outfits like Global, Ceres, and Kaya regularly faced low-budget semi-professional clubs who could not possibly match them in terms of fitness or technical skill. But not with the PFL, where all 8 clubs needed to pass stringent Asian Football Confederation club licensing standards. Thus plenty of financial backing was a prerequisite for joining. Even the two new clubs, Ilocos United and Davao Aguilas, are well-funded. There are no cream puffs in this league, either on or off the pitch.
