Season 7 Division 4 value added. Liege set the highest standard, but Sao Paulo get the highest VA.   Standard Liege the winners of D4 also get the highest PVA of +6 , remarkable for a playoff bound team. Sao Paulo arguably out did them , with automatic promotion and a VA of +12. Marseille…

Division 3 value added season 7. A whole lot of Hertha for the others as Berlin storm to the top. Disaster for Leicester and AZ. Hertha really pulled out all the stop to finish top, they get the highest PVA of +4 ,  the highest VA goes to Galatasary at +10 in 7th , they…

SC Internacional lead the tables, with all the predicted top 7 massively underperforming. If Division 1 is predictable , then Division 2 is the opposite. SC Internacional finished 12 spots ahead of predicted and won the league, also with the highest PVA , Everton were also promoted automatically and were the highest originally rated team…

Division 1 value added. Ok this is how it works. At the start of the season I worked out statistically where each team should finish.    From that you deduct the finishing position to give the value added , VA.  So if a team should have finished 8th but came 2nd they get a VA…

Division 5 Season 7  stats and facts.  Two teams should dominate but will they ? At least for now my own Celta Vigo team sit top of the pile.  With a midfield worthy of D2 at least it is no surprise they haven’t lost in any serious competition so far.  Weaker at the back but…

Division 4 in many ways better than Division 3. With one exceptional club in AS Monaco who could succeed in D1 the average D4 side is as good as the average D3 side. At least statistically speaking D4 has a better club than anything in D3 and D3 has a worse club than anything in…

Division 3 stats and facts, are you the best or worst at being average? PSV and Lazio head and shoulders above the rest. Good news for those in division 3 , there are probably 10 or more clubs down to Shaktar who if they were promoted wouldn’t get relegated straight away. A 90 rated attacking…

Is there an impossible gap between D2 and D1. The stats suggest yes. Can a top manager prove otherwise. To not get instantly relegated the ETOT, the experimental ratings total in D1 is around 224.5 As you can see from the table below only AC Milan and Leverkeusen have a strong enough squad to survive…

Shock as new prediction formula predicts Barcelona will win the league . Will Chelsea , Bayern or Juve have enough to push them out the way? First of all the usual warning. None of the statistics are an opinion based, neither do they in anyway reflect the hard work or inate managerial skill you all…

Division 5 Value added season 6. The division where winning isn’t enough. Might seen cruel that Monaco are so lowely rated, but they were head and shoulders above the rest so it was a walk in the park.  Torino and Twente were also highly ranked ,so only one of the top 4 figure in the…
