Is it a Level Playing Field .... some graphics from Div 1

As promised to the landed gentry of The Level Playing Field (or the LPF) as some like to call it, here are some statistics .... open to suggestions of what folks might want to see ... will post up a data string of what I have been capturing






So is the dream of a young man called Dan to create a true (as best as we can within the confines of SM) Level Playing Field league starting to come true ?

Here is some Div 1 evidence over the first five (5) seasons that this might be starting to take shape ...

Each chart represents the minutes across the 22 league games per season each team was either winning, drawing or losing their matches.

Teams are ranked 1 thru 12 in final finishing order

Comments are focused on the minutes winning ...

Season 1 

First season, many different strategies adopted ... quite a range across the division

Season 2

Second season, quite a disparate set of data ... monster season for PAOK ... Frank Hirst experiment in Perugia, the long game, is playing out as anticipated ...

Season 3

Third season, promotion and relegation starting to take effect ... a tight top 4 and more evenly and balanced spread of teams down the finishing order

Season 4

Fourth season ... a rather tight grouping ... with the bottom four teams very even ...

Season 5

Fifth season ... and anyone 3rd through 10th is covered by Sir Stephen Beddows Ryan Giggs 1992 Red Devils duvet


What does this all mean ?  I have got absolutely no idea 😒

Well maybe it is starting to show the league is ... perhaps ... level 😤

What say you the gentry of the league ?
