Ever imagined having a preview of the final top 5 table placements in your favourite European football league? The Contenders Rating Scale is the key to you being a clairvoyant in this regard, as it would mathematically guide you in predicting the top 5 finish in a way that would make your friends and fellow lovers of the beautiful game amazed at your league table predicting skills. Many advantages it serves, find out, as you flow with the slides. As I say, The Contenders Rating Scale, predicting football with mathematics.

Contenders Rating Scale:
Mathematically being a Clairvoyant on the Football
League Table

The Contenders Rating Scale (CRS) is the approach
employed to having an analysis and postulation of the
final table outcome, having considered the Top 5 teams
in the league in view over the last 5 years prior to the
season in view.
The CRS entails being a clairvoyant on a minimum of 3
teams that could have a top 5 finish at the season climax
(in no particular order).

4. What are the
aims of the
CRS?
To week in week
out build the
excitement of the
football season;
To have an upbeat
approach to
predicting the log
across the major
football seasons;
To be perceived
as the “table log
magician” across
the 5 major
European football
seasons, courtesy
the ≥3 table
prediction
capability the CRS
achieves

5. • A close check on the top 5 teams in
each of the last 5 years (seasons) -
2008/2009, 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and
the 2012/2013- preceding the season in
consideration.
1. Top 5 placement
check
• In analysing the last 5 years thereby
paying attention to the top 5 teams in
these years, a 5 mark (point) scale
would be given to each team based on
their final league table placement.
2. The allotment of
grade points/marks
• Points gotten by every team that had a
top 5 finish would be summed up and
the teams with the top 5 points would
make the cut (Contenders Rating
Scale table)
3. Grade point

teams over the
considered 5 years

6. • In analysing the last
5 years, paying
attention to the top 5
teams in these
years, a 5 mark
(point) scale would
be given to each
team based on their
final league table
placement.
The order through which these
teams would be allotted points is
as follows;
• The 1st placed team will have 5
marks (mks)
• The 2nd placed team will have 4
mks.
• The 3rd placed team will have 3
mks.
• The 4th placed team will have 2
mks.
• The 5th placed team will have 1
mk.

…Watching football only exudes
your love of the game, being a fan of
a national team exudes patriotism
and/or allegiance to a country but
being a fan of a football club defines
your passion for the beautiful game.
