Club rating chances

league games only

No chances for European games. Ours hold up on league matches, but in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League draws fell to 17% and 16% in the first two league-phase seasons (22% before), and a fit on older seasons gets them wrong. Team ratings before kickoff, manager included: Crystal Palace 1,977 · Real Sociedad 2,010. Why ›
