Laravel - Form::select show name as Option Value

I have a database of Leagues and I need to have a drop down list inside a form of the different leagues...

I have got this working but the Option Value is displaying as the ID number and I need it to display as the league_name field...

Controller

public function getEdit($id = null)
{

    try {
        // Get the group information
        $tip = Tips::find($id);

        $league = Leagues::lists('league_name', 'id');

    } catch (TipNotFoundException $e) {
        // Redirect to the groups management page
        return Redirect::route('tips')->with('error', Lang::get('tips/message.group_not_found', compact('id')));
    }

    // Show the page
    return View('admin/tips/edit', compact('tip','league'));
}

View Blade

<div class="form-group">
 <label for="league" class="col-sm-3 control-label">League</label>
   <div class="col-sm-9">
      {!! Form::select('league', $league, Input::old('league'), ['class' => 'form-control required', 'id' => 'league', 'placeholder' => 'Select League']) !!}
   </div>
</div>

It is outputting as...

<select class="form-control required" id="league" name="league">
 <option selected="selected" value="">Select League</option>
 <option value="1">FIFA World Cup</option>
 <option value="2">FIFA Women's World Cup</option>
 <option value="3">FIFA Confederations Cup</option>
 <option value="4">Summer Olympic Games (FIFA unofficial)</option>

I want it to output as...

<select class="form-control required" id="league" name="league">
 <option selected="selected" value="">Select League</option>
 <option value="FIFA World Cup">FIFA World Cup</option>
 <option value="FIFA Women's World Cup">FIFA Women's World Cup</option>
 <option value="FIFA Confederations Cup">FIFA Confederations Cup</option>
 <option value="Summer Olympic Games (FIFA unofficial)">Summer Olympic Games (FIFA unofficial)</option>
