Fellow football nerds FiveThirtyEight have us as the 178th best team in the world, that's a hell of a difference. Wouldn't have a fucking clue how to work out why that is though.

98th sounds about right, exactly what I would have guessed.

Used to enjoy fivethirtyeight forecasts, but they laid off a number of staff and don't update the football side of it now. If anyone knows of a similar site then let me know.

This, sums it up for me more than any venn diagram or poxy pie chart ever could.
I mean, Mechelen, who are they?

This site is so bad which makes it so good.

I'll let you all figure out why it is so shocking.

Peace all.

One thing I will give the site is the automatic reporting of results.

That is a bit of a head turner.

Mechelen reached the Cup Winners Cup Final the year we should have been in it.... think they lost to Ajax.

Funny that, I'd heard they were all fat bastards...

 

[Ian1779]

So we’re basically the best 2nd tier football team in the world.

 

[Philosoraptor]

Another thing I do like about this club Elo site, even though the methodology is a bit suspect, is the stats on the club itself.

Elo is a bit horried to look at, that's another reason to add to the case for a rating upgrade.

But even if with this taken into account, they have still backdated the stats to the Jimmy Hill era, and all in between, year on year.

Oh, and also the last four years.

Well worth a look at.
