The Sky Sports predictor is based on a system called Elo, originally set up to rate chess players.

It takes into account form

      No one has played anyone yet.  Is "form" last spring's beach season games?

who your team still has left to play

       Everyone has to play everyone else twice.

and how well a team has done in previous seasons.  The algorithm does not factor transfers.

     i.e. Liverpool do not have Fabinho, Naby Keita and Allison.  Partly explaining why they are shown as only 50/50 to make CL -- which would be corrected immediately in any betting market.

     

 

I'm not trying to get bitchy, Davie  -- I'm looking forward to following this.  Just trying to point out why for team sports, ELO based systems are of little use at the start of the season.  They are based on the outcomes of previous matches, and become more and more useful as seasons progress.

 

I guess it's time for me to post fivethirtyeight's club ratings and projections (which use both ELO and advanced metrics) so y'all can slag them off.  (spoiler: they rate Bayern #1 worldwide)

You can say what you like about them there out there for discussion no problem for me.

Are they not based on blue sky thinking?

I know Wolves have bought some good players but didn't QPR a couple of years ago? I don't think they were of the calibre of the players Wolves have bit still, we know how that all ended. 

 

I don't think what Wolves are doing is comparable to Harry Redknapp buying Steven Caulker and Sandro and getting Niko Kranjcar in on loan.

Newcastle and Rafa would be a perfect match to challenge the top 6 if they had a competent owner.

Players on strike due to not being paid agreed bonuses! Sounds like the club is in more of a mess than ever. 

 

Benitez can't put up with much more shit can he?! He's a top manager! Ashley could refuse to sell for years.

 

With all the ill feeling going on and lack of transfers, they will be fighting for their lives to stay up!

Losing one winger and then trying to get a high quality replacement?

 

What a novel idea.  It will never catch on.

 

Trying doesn't mean getting.

 

They won't.
