Today’s Football ELO Ratings

These ratings were created by Sir Puntalot back in 1997 and the formula has never changed since then. They were designed to find a way of seeing at a glance, what the true performance of teams were in a match, and not just be guided by the scoreline. You could read tens of match reports, but spending hours doing that every week is not my idea of fun! Hence, the ratings were born.
