How it works

Four things decide a place

Our method is our own and we keep the detail to ourselves. This is what goes into it, in plain words.

Results

Every win, draw and defeat, and by how much. A club is judged on what it did, not on its name or its wage bill.

Who it came against

Beating a strong side counts for more than beating a weak one, and the level of the competition counts too, so a European night weighs what it should.

How recent

Twelve months, rolling, with the latest matches counting for the most. Last spring still matters; last week matters more.

For players, the minutes

What a player did with his time on the pitch, judged against others in the same role, at the level he did it, and how his side fared while he played.

10matches in the twelve months for a club to be ranked
900minutes in the twelve months for a player
180days without a match and a club or player drops out
Clubsonly: national-team matches, youth sides and friendlies are left out
