Default Re: Like for Like Stats - 2019/20

OK Rae. The PPG table is a forecast final table based on season to date performance.

I take an average of points earned per game to date and multiply by 46 to give an expected final total. Actually, I separate home and away, taking an average for each multiplied by 23 then add the home and away totals.

It has its best uses in mid to late season when games in hand may distort the actual table on a particular day. It works on the assumption that all teams will be consistent in their results throughout the season and it takes time for a winning or losing streak to have an impact.

Hope this helps!
