Introduction

The teams are ranked by the strength of the Attacking teams faced over the first 6 gameweeks.

The strength of the attacking teams are based on the averages of their expected goals for and their actual goals for last season with a general adjustment for home and away. . The teams are then divided up into 5 colours of 8 home/away teams each. A couple of teams have had adjustments for late season improvement or injured players returning.
