Ajax win the league and the stats.
+5VA pushed the Ajax team from playoff team to champions. A great performance from Moenchengladbach saw them come in 3rd with a +8VA, in the stats they just lead the other promoted team Liverpool who on +2 VA came 2nd in the league. Highest VA goes to Lyon on +10 , they just missed out on the playoff spots. Big shouts outs to Bremen on +8 VA who climbed well safe of relegation, +6 Chievo who came 20th.
In a similar way to D3 two of the most underperforming teams Napoli and Celtic on -4VA and -6VA got into the playoff but were dumped out by Lokomotiv and Liverpool in the Semi-finals. Palace on -11VA were rightly relegated , isn’t hard to look beyond the keeper with them as 87 rated keepers are freely available. Fenerbache will also be disappointed to be relegated on -6 VA where as Dynamo Moscow must count themselves lucky to avoid it.
Overall a middling level of variation +/- 4 per team, I again did slightly better than the A.I. The A.I. correctly worked out Palace would finish much lower than I thought but did less well on the majority of the lower ranked teams, which does seem to be a theme.
