Mid table team looks nice I was expecting to see championship strugglers at this stage.

To be fair, I dont think the A-League is an AWFUL AWFUL standard. Its certainly bad, but I remember Celtic signed Tom Rogic from there and he had a pretty decent career with them.

Something I have been pondering lately with leagues. Is there anything out there that can weigh the playing strengths of different leagues?
Not the leagues themselves but put the leagues in order in strength of competition.
Genuine question.

I saw an article once that measured a leagues competitiveness by comparing the results of the bottom 6 teams v the top 6 teams , how many points they'd taken off them .
The Premier league faired pretty badly in that respect
Doubt this is the statistical answer you’re looking for, but Football Manager has a system for ranking leagues based on reputation

The nearest thing I have found is this.
Don't think it is that good though.

Maybe he called Jack McBean for some advice and decided against uprooting his life to sit on the development squad’s bench?

Like for like then.
It exists but generally behind paywalls.
A chunk of Brentfords success in replacing players is that their owner is/was a professional gambler and pioneered expected goals and advanced statistics.
They have a European league table that ranks clubs, so they can highlight teams overperforming against their position and identify undervalued transfer targets.

Kid has talent, so I am mildly disappointed he said no, but I reckon he knows he would be swapping regular first team football (albeit in a weaker league) for sitting in an under-23 setup, so I don’t blame him.
I also think we’re better off signing players who can make an impact immediately, not potentially 2-3 years from now.
