Hamburg dominate a topsy turvy division.
Maybe the best stimulus to promotion is to avoid relegation? Hamburg who were a well balanced side finished with a VA of 16 and PVA of 17 an amazing season. Zagreb would normally have claimed the top stats spot with +13 VA and 4.67PVA, Malaga is 3rd spot in the stats are in the playoffs finishing 6 places above expected.
Big congratulation have to also go to Southampton on + 9 VA and Atletico on +6.
West Brom did an inverse Hamburg should have been first but finished 17th on – 16 VA , a devasting first half of the season left them nowhere to run. Genoa narrowly escaped relegation on -12 VA. Leverkusen could still redeem themselves in the play offs. Internacional ,Swansea and Internacional also had seasons to forget. Again the tactical changes seem to have thrown the stats into the air for the moment at the top end with only sure fire Schalke going down
