About the data

Rankings use up to each team's five most recent matches. The latest season and round included are shown with every result.

A Last 5 result requires at least three available values in that five-match or five-appearance window.

When MatchFit does not have a value for a match, that match is left out of the average.

The season view averages the available current-season matches.
