Celta Vigo +14 VA and + 7.5 PVA head the stats and get promoted, just above their Turkish rivals. It isn’t very often that a +7 VA and auto promotion wouldn’t get you the team of the year in D3…

Super Saints lead the stats. What went wrong for 4 of the top 6 predicted teams? A great performance for Southampton finishing 9 places above predicted and in 2nd place giving them a PVA of +5.  Play off bound Sporting…

Super Hellas win the league and no surprise that they head the stats. Usual disclaimer. VA = value added, the difference between predicted and final position. PVA= positional value added. Finishing higher counts for more. Obviously it is better for…

No transfers completed after Monday 3 April are included. Close race at the top with 4 teams in with a chance. Boca go front and back , the strongest keeper and the strongest attack in the league. Should be set…

Two great examples of how to play the game right. Fiorentina should have been 18th but came 1st +17 VA and +18 PVA. Shaktar should have been last +17 VA and +6 PVA. 2nd spot Olympiacos have +10 VA with…

The 1 2 3 in the league come 3rd 2nd and 1st in the stats. West Ham with best VA of +11 in the league come top of the stats with the most over performing team in D4.  Fenerbache in…
