Swans sail away majestically with 1st in league best VA and PVA in division.
Always a strong favourite to over perform with a lethal attack Swansea never the less finished 6 places above expected. Playoff bound palace 2nd in the stats with a VA of +6 are ranked just above Zagreb who came in 2nd in the league. Another team with +6 VA is Dnipro; while finishing 9th they should have been 15th so a return to form to the overperformers of the past. A shout out to Beddows and Sampdoria who on +4VA were the other notable over achievers.
It all went wrong for Liege who just escaped relegation on -9 VA and Galatasaray who didn’t also on – 9 VA. Borussia Monchengladbach also fell into the relegation hole on -6 VA. The top of the table was fairly close to what was predicted and lower down there was a fair correlation with the predicted relegation teams usually 2 to 3 places higher if they escaped.
