Chelsea well deserved champions and leaders in the stats.
Usual reminder. At the start of the year, I calculated the ratings in the 4 main positions, Top18 and Average. This is plugged in a magic formula and finishing position calculated. This is used to work out the Positional value added, which is based on the value added and finishing position.
Chelsea finished a position higher than expected and overcame their closest opposition. Barcelona in 2nd spot in the league and the stats, also showed distinct improvement this season, with Leicester in 3rd place also showing that a new boss can continue the good form.
Highest value added goes to Hertha predicted 11th they came 6th and get a slightly higher value added than Sporting who came 5th. CSKA had the only other largish VA on +4 avoiding relegation.
Biggest underperformance, probably this goes down to Dortmund who slumped to 7th spot, but could also be with Juventus on -7 VA or Inter on -5 VA and relegation.
3 of the predicted relegation teams went down.
How did the A.I. do. From 20 teams my total variation for 58 and the A.I. 60, so I did slightly better. The A.I. did get 2 teams spot on but I got more than half the teams within +/- 2 positions.
