How to read the ratings

One scale for every league

A Premier League club and a Brasileirão club are measured in the same units. Matches between Europe and the Americas are rare, so the gap between the continents is less certain than the gaps within them.

Every match counts

Wins add points and defeats take them away. Beating a stronger side, or winning by a wide margin, moves a rating more.

What 100 points means

A club rated 100 points higher would expect about 64% of the points on neutral ground, counting a draw as half a win.

Leagues move together

When clubs from different leagues meet, part of the swing moves their whole league, which keeps the gaps between leagues up to date.

Promoted and relegated clubs

A promoted club keeps its rating plus a tenth of the gap between its old and new league; a relegated club loses the same share. In the past, promoted clubs did better, and relegated clubs worse, than their old rating suggested.

Ratings use league, cup and continental results since 2010. They are one of the inputs to our match predictions.
