Great read 😀 could the tables be sorted by something other than the team name as it is hard to visualise some of the data in relation to other teams around your team
I love this and will be looking at it with my yr12 BTEC Sport students in their maths components… thank you.
But… please tell me then that this means Port Vale are going to start to improve their league position!? They seem to be a huge difference in where they are and maybe could/should be?
Love these tables. But outliers like Ipswich and Hull aside, how useful are they as indicators of long term league table performance in a close league like the championship? There's such a narrow band of performance when it comes to xG - xGA (a lot of teams are going to score between 50 and 60 goals and concede roughly the same) that when and where you score your goals feels more important than the likely statistical output over a season. Particularly when a single win is worth 3 draws.
Nonetheless I imagine it's this sort of table that Still and Davies produce in the boardroom when asked to explain their underwhelming starts to the season. Very interested to see if results start to reflect underlying numbers.
Great. Data. Thank you. As discussed, suggest you rank by XG ratio and we can get used to the implications of that.
Over time, it might be interesting to identify the gap between XG ratio rank and league position, by 5, 10 and total?

You can click the top of each column to sort by whichever you like!
