THE CONTENDERS RATING SCALE IN THE EPL: Its Effectiveness at a Glance
Just Before the Season Began:
With the thrills of the 2012/13 English Premier
League season ended and the table decided, the forthcoming season, 2013/14
promises to be another exciting moment of the beautiful game, football.
Prior to the start of the 2012/13 season across
Europe, precisely on August 13, 2013, the Contenders Rating Scale was birthed.
By the Contenders Rating Scale (CRS) I mean
the manner through which the selection of the teams expected to have a top 5
finish, in no particular order, in the major football leagues across Europe is
made. The CRS further posits that of all 5 teams predicted, 4 would have a top
5 finish, but in some cases (especially the German bundesliga), 3 and not 4 of the 5 teams emerged was anticipated to
make the cut of top 5 season finish. Simply put, the Contenders Rating Scale is a
mathematical approach to predicting the top 5 placed teams at the end of the
football season.
Through the CRS, it was projected that at least 4 of
Arsenal, Manchester United, Man. City,
Chelsea and Liverpool would have a top 5 finish. This projection was made
on September 22, 2012, though the season began on August 18, 2012 - http://taiwokehinde-mymind.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-20122013-football-season-english.html
Interestingly, with the season rounding off on Sunday,
May 19, 2013, 4 of the teams projected made the cut, with the exception of
Liverpool (7th place finish), which was replaced by London based club, Tottenham
Hotspur. The 2012/13 season had Manchester United, Manchester
City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur finishing the season in 1st
(Champions), 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place respectively.
Depicted below is a tabular summary of the CRS and the final table outcome in the English Premier League:
(As earlier stressed, please note that prediction of
the CSR is not in any particular order)
With this achieved, please check this blog in the
last week of July, 2013 for the 2013/14 EPL season
