The 'Perpetual' League Table
Fair to say - I like this table.
So often the media get carried away with the start to a season and rave about how great a team are, or how bad they are - without paying any attention to WHO they've played and how the results in the games they've played 'compare' to when they played them last season
This does that.
Every team starts from where they finished last time out, and as each game is played, the result from it, replaces the result from the same game last season.
Therefore, we have a 'Perpetual Table' which shows how the League would finish, if the last game that just ended, was the end of the season.
It needs one small manual adjustment in relation to the relegated and promoted clubs.
I don't think you can just replace West Ham with Coventry, Wolves with Ipswich and Burnley with Hull. I think it's fairer to compare the results each team had against those three clubs last season, and replace the closest result/score with this seasons games.
The Three relegated teams points won't change in the table, and I won't add in the promoted teams.
