How it is calculated
Only this season counts. The model rates every team’s attack and defence from this season’s matches — taking into account how strong the opponents were. The rating is the goal difference per game it expects against an average team of the league at a neutral venue. Every team starts with three games of league-average form, so a couple of lucky results early on do not make a leader.
