How to read this chart

  • Click any matchweek column to highlight it across all bands.
  • Fixtures strip: cell shade shows opponent difficulty (dark blue = hard, light blue = easy, based on opponent Elo at the time of the match). Bottom slice shows result (green = W, amber = D, red = L). Faded results = lucky wins, unlucky losses, or draws where one side dominated xG.
  • Run-in columns (after the dashed line): hatched cells show remaining fixtures. Number at the bottom is the opponent's relevant points per game (away PPG when at home, home PPG when away).
  • Position chart: zone tints show Champions League (green), Europa League (blue), and relegation (red). Dashed grey line shows Elo rating trajectory. In run-in columns, a mini rivals grid shows the fixtures of teams 2 above and 2 below in the table.
  • Squad map: green = started, light green = sub on, yellow = bench, pink = injured/suspended.

Methodology and sources

  • Match results, lineups, events, and standings from SportMonks. xG data from TheSportsDB. Elo ratings from ClubElo.
  • Opponent difficulty uses Elo rating on the date of the fixture, not current Elo.
  • xG deservedness compares expected goals for and against with the actual result. The greater the disagreement, the more the result slice fades.
  • Injury and suspension data reconstructed by cross-referencing lineup presence with sidelined periods reported by SportMonks.
  • Data updated weekly via automated pipeline.
