Ordered by minutes within each position, so the first-choice side sits at the top. Share of goals is measured against this squad’s 12 in the same matches these minutes come from — never against the league table, whose season is longer than the window player data covers. That window is 23 of 53 matches.

First place is at the top. A change of division breaks the line, because 8th in one is not 8th in another.

One row per season, which is the grain the source supplies — a manager who stayed four years appears four times. Points per game is what makes spells of different lengths comparable.

      European places are provisional: they shift with domestic cup winners and UEFA coefficient spots.

      Title and relegation chances are Monte Carlo estimates over the remaining fixturesest. A shown 0% means it did not occur in 8,000 simulated seasons — not that it is impossible.
