Early season shapes the football rankings

From the Football Ranking System we see that Manchester City have just about retained top spot from the very in-form early season pace-setters Chelsea. Indeed, a Chelsea win in the UEFA Super Cup tonight might see them take over on top.

The other early season form team Everton have risen from 6th to 4th.

It will be fascinating to see how far Rangers fall now that they are in Scottish League Division Three. Among such lowly opposition they will not score so many points unless they thrash everyone of them, and they're not doing that yet. In August Rangers have fallen  from 8th to 19th.

Conversely, Swansea City have gone the other way, rising from 18th to 9th, and Wigan Athletic have gone from 14th to 7th.

Ten-place plus movers elsewhere include:

  • Sheffield Wednesday, up from 55 to 21.
  • Leeds United, up from 49 to 36.
  • Motherwell, down from 28 to 38.
  • Yeovil Town, up from 80 to 69.
  • Swindon Town, up from 87 to 71.
  • Dundee, down from 62 to 73.
  • Preston North End, up from 85 to 74.
  • Crawley Town, up from 98 to 84.
  • Chesterfield, down from 76 to 86.
  • Bradford City, up from 107 to 97.
  • Ayr United, down from 88 to 100.
