Which option should I choose?

Create Private League Choose this if you want to run the league and invite other managers.

Join Your Private League Choose this if a league admin has already invited you.

Join an Open League Choose this if you want to play without setting up or being invited to a private league.

League admin note: competition and season options are made available by the platform first. If the competition you want is not shown when creating your league, it has not yet been opened for play.

Private league note: private leagues are not publicly searchable. Managers should join through the invite link sent by their league admin, or request a fresh invite using the same email address.
