What is the difference between weighted and unweighted PPG
They should use xG to settle the league. Now that would cause a shitstorm I'd like to see.
What is this? Much like points per game, except this format takes into account each team's home and away form to provide an average for each, which is multiplied across a 38-game season.
How is it calculated? You divide points by the number of games played for home and away form separately. Multiply each number by 19 and add them together to create a total points tally. So Aston Villa's home form is 1.307×19=24.86. Their away form is 0.533×19=10.13. That gives them a WPPG tally for the season of 34.979.
We'd end up 2nd to City.
I expect the Premier League to be played out but wouldn't it be great if some random League Two team brought it up after they've been discussing weighted and unweighted PPG and what not for hours just to troll everyone?
Bruges champions in Belgium. Last team in the standings is relegated.
It is exactly like the job/CV scenario. You are forced to hold your hands up that yes you've not been good enough at your job and deserve to lose it but then say actually you should get to keep your job because you are unsure of the qualifications of the next guy coming in. You'd be laughed out the building and rightly so. It's a decision process that has zilch to do with you. This is no different.
No idea what you're last sentence is talking about?? Who said that? Footballers are employees and not slaves. As far as I know and am concerned they have the right to refuse to return to work if there is reasonable grounds (there are) for not doing so. Then it becomes a legal matter as to what happens with their salary.
Let us bloody start it up again! If they can do it in Germany so can the brittish clubs manage. Just make sure to put the players in quarentine if there is any issues.
Snowball effect? Going to be intresting what happens to other Leagues.
If no further games can be played am I correct in thinking that each of the 3 divisions in the EFL could potentially have a different way of settling their division?
Looking more likely the PL will return which is good and bad at the same time.
Going to be very strange indeed but at least it’s something to look forward two(Kinda).

Ok thanks.
I thought weighted would involve points taken from top 6 teams or something of that sort.
So just a simple Home and Away thing. That sucks for us given we are 9th or worse in the Away table.
Wouldn't change or final position as compared to PPG, we'd still be fifth. The difference would be Spurs & Arsenal swapping places plus West Ham dropping into the relegation zone instead of Bournemouth.
Doesn't change anything for United.
The teams it makes a big difference for are Bournemouth / West Ham in the Premier, and a number of teams in league 1.
It's an exciting finish to the end of the season
How about playing Subbuteo or else Table Football ?!
Just as ridiculous as what is going on !!

How I understand those angry fans. My local club has been relegated from the second division after a decent investment in the squad in January and getting a new top manager. Now without playing we'll be removed from the professional leagues.
To rub salt in the wound, it was decided that there will be no relegations in all the tiers below ours. Unbelievable.
So it's clear Liverpool will be champions seeing how leagues are being concluded.Just hope we get a real shot at 4th.
R rate is going up in the UK...if it doesn't drop in the next 2 weeks there is no way we will see a return
champions*
Thanks for the explanation. If PPG were to be used as a metric, then this makes far more sense than just using total number of games alone, as home and away are important factors.
tbf I think too many of assumed the FA would want a fair end to the season. Particularly for clubs in relegation. The desire to give Liverpool the trophy out of fear of being called out on it seems to have overcome that though. It’s also been clear for some time that the FA were going to make sure that’s what happened.
If Project Restart fails to get going we can expect Karen Brady to start a Twitter campaign saying that weighted PPG shouldn't be used. This despite the fact that West Ham are one of the bottom six who supposedly pushed hardest against neutral venues.
In other words if the season restarts home advantage is massively important but if it doesn't restart your home record should not be viewed differently than your away record.
If it doesn't it'll take them another 6 weeks to think up another name. So they'll need a name for the project aimed at restarting Project Restart.
Just face facts the PL is returning.
The post I was responding to was inferring their strategy worked because the death rate there is lower than in the UK, and I disagree with that reasoning. There are way too many other factors in play.
The strategy, in the UK at least, is to minimise the spread so that our health system can cope. If the UK followed Sweden's strategy it would be an enormous risk.
Without a vaccine I'd rather be in Denmark, for sure.

Strategy in Sweden is not what some of you people think is. It is same as as lot of countries in western Europe. It is about not getting NHS overcrowded. The big difference is that Sweden is trying to achive that by trusting its people to follow recommendations instead of having 100% lockdown.
Problem with this is that there are people who are stupid. Who don’t care about others. And yes, that means a big risk in strategy. So Sweden have lot of recommendations and some rules as well for restaurants and gatherings.
What can be positive is that Sweden is half open/open country. There are lot of studies showing different numbers about how many have / had infection. And the more who had it and are now fine the better. That means that countries with total lockdown who are opining up (people thinking it is over) now risk to be hit again and I’m not talking about second wave.
Death numbers per milion in Sweden are high. Very high and most of them are from care homes and 70+. Still very high number and a situation that should be investigated into. One thing also is that Sweden are counting every death were someone had infection. That means, even if you died of some other factors but have Covid19 in your body, you were counted.
@90 + 5min out of interest what other countries have used the same strategy? And what impact has it had?
I think UK did the same for a short period of time before they changed the way. On other hand I understand. It's 50+m people i UK while Sweden have 10m. I don't know any other country right now that had recommendations instead of rules as Sweden. And I think it is to soon to judge Sweden for taking this approach even if I would have gone with lockdown from first day.
Commuters pack onto Tube and trains - but social distancing proves IMPOSSIBLE on limited services.
Let's hope the number of people dying will not start rising again.

A lot of people will watch two matches a day on telly if it comes back. Wouldn't a few million people stopping inside to watch telly a few hours a day reduce the R rate?
Wouldn't people who have interacted at work and school then sitting together with family inside their home to watch football increase the R0?
If the virus has got in the home they'll get it anyway, eating together etc. There's a reason why the message was 'stay home'. Nice try though.
Stay home; that doesn't mean close. That depends on how people interact, in this instance you're creating another place for close contact that didn't exist.
Given the clout Man Utd still has, I'm struggling to see a scenario where the club isn't given a genuine shot at 4th this season.
We shall play on the beaches, we shall play on the landing grounds, we shall play in the fields and in the streets, we shall play in the hills!
