THE CONTENDERS RATING SCALE IN THE GERMAN BUNDESLIGA: Its Effectiveness at a Glance






Just Before the Season Began:

  
This work is centred on discussing the Contenders Rating Scale (CRS), http://taiwokehinde-mymind.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-20122013-football-season-contenders.html with respect to the German Bundesliga. The Contenders Rating Scale is a tool employed to mathematically have a projection of the teams to have a top 5 league placement in the major football leagues across Europe. 

But prior to this discuss, it is pivotal we briefly make mention of the remarkable 2012/13 Bundesliga season. 

 

The 2012/13 German Bundesliga had Bayern Munich reclaiming their place as the strongest team in the German top flight football division in an unprecedented fashion, having a goals difference of 80 and accumulating a total of 91 points in the possible 102 points in offering by the 34 matches played by every team. Prior to the 2012/13 victory of the Munich based team, the 2009/10 season was the last time they won the league as their dominance was displaced by a tenacious Borussia Dotmund which won the league in the 2010/11 and 2011/12, a season they had a double displacement of Bayern Munich in the league and the German cup, DFB Pokal. But these heartbreaks is one to be speedily forgotten by the Bayern Munich management, players and fans, as the 2012/13 season is indeed the most successful year to be achieved by any club in the German bundesliga. This is largely due to the treble clinching (German Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and UEFA Champions League) successes recorded by the Munich based club. 

 

The German Bundesliga Contenders Rating Scale was published on September 28, 2012 barely a month after the 2012/13 season kicked off. - http://taiwokehinde-mymind.blogspot.com/2012/09/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html

 

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 projected 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 3 of Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, Werder Bremen and Stuttgart. – http://taiwokehinde-mymind.blogspot.com/2012/09/v-behaviorurldefaultvmlo.html would have a top 5 finish.

 

Incidentally, of these 5 teams projected for a top 5 finish, only 3, thus Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 made the cut, climaxing their league campaigns in 1st, 2nd and 4th place respectively. Whilst the aforesaid teams had a top 5 finish, the other teams projected, Werder Bremen and Stuttgart were unable to make the cut as they got displaced by Bayer Leverkusen and SC Freiburg whom finished in 3rd and 5th place respectively. 

 

Below is a tabular summary of the CRS’ effectiveness in the German Bundesliga...

 

 

 

(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 for the 2013/14 GERMAN BUNDESLIGA  season top 5 predictions, courtesy the Contenders Rating Scale.

 

The End
