How is it calculated?
From the match statistics of this season's league games (at least 4): possession, xG created and conceded per match, shots, corners, tackles + interceptions per 100 opponent passes (possession-adjusted pressing), accurate long balls per 100 accurate passes and card points. Each axis is a percentile against the teams of the same league (or of similar-level leagues if the league is small). Labels come from fixed threshold rules (no AI). Similar teams: cosine similarity of the eight axes' percentile vectors centred on the average. Updated nightly.
