CSKA head the stats with a +13VA and automatic promotion.

Hard to take maybe to finish 1st in the league but 6th in the stats but that just highlights the great performances from over sides. CSKA were predicted to just about beat relegation but gained auto promotion in 3rd spot. Cruziero were always a play off team but they finished 2nd in the league and 2nd in the stats.  Espanyol the near rivals of CSKA had a great +10 VA and head to the play offs Augsburg another playoff team had a great +12 VA with Udinese also in the playoffs 5th in the stats. Sporting did all they could and were the winners of the league but 6th in the stats.

In the relegation zone. Genoa in a bit of a rebuild but still -16 VA the big outlier only with Real Madrid who had -10VA and Man Utd on – 8 VA

The majority of relegated sides were correctly picked with only Augsburg escaping.

So A.I. or human eye. Again, no deep analysis here but the stand out spot for the A.I. was Man Utd. I predicted 4th the A.I. said 10th and they finished 12th. The A.I. spotted that their lack of depth would come back to bite them which it did.
