• Ch%: Percentage of weeks the player's team won the Championship. 2 and 4 team weeks are adjusted to be the equivalent of a 6 team week, so on average it should be around 16%.
• WS%: Percentage of weeks the player's team claimed the Wooden Spoon. 2 and 4 team weeks are adjusted to be the equivalent of a 6 team week, so on average it should be around 16%.
• MCW: Maximum consecutive wins.
• MCL: Maximum consecutive losses.
• CWLS: Current Win Loss Streak.
• Pos: Position, which is used by the algorithm to create evenly balanced teams (see below). Players are manually assigned a position based on their observed playing styles
  • GK: Goal Keeper
  • D: Defender
  • DM: Defensive Midfielder: Usually plays in midfield but will fill in defensively if the team is short of recognised defenders.
  • M: Midfielder
  • AM: Attacking Midfielder: Plays in midfield and has an average goals scored per game greater than 0.5
  • A: Attacker
• Rank: Each player has a rating that is used to select fair teams. This is adjusted following each match, so that over time, the rating should become more accurate and the teams more equal. The rankings of the top 30 players are shown. Only players who have played at least 10 matches, and at least once in the past 10 weeks are ranked. The other stats, are more down to who's been selected in your team, and should even out over time but the ranking will reflect how well you're playing compared to the other players, and so hopefully adds some longer term interest.
• History: The results of a players most recent 5 matches are shown. Hover over each to see the date and the score.
• Team Selection Algorithm: AKA 'The Algo' - tries to choose fair teams based on who is present on the morning:
  • The sum of the ratings of each teams' players will match as closely as possible. Even when teams have different numbers of players, e.g. 9v8, the totals will match - the team of 8 will have, on average, slightly stronger players than the team of 9.
  • As well as the total for the team, it will also even out as far as possible the combined ratings of the following:
    • Goal Keepers
    • Defenders
    • Defenders + Defensive Midfielders
    • Attackers + Attacking Midfielders
    • Attackers
  • Players making their debut are spread as evenly as possible across all teams as their ratings are not well known.
  • Groups of two or more friends can be set up. On days when we have more than 2 teams The Algo will try and ensure that anyone in a group is playing in a team with at least one other player from their group. Feel free to ask me if you're in a group, or to set one up for you.
  • Players who are late will be divided across teams (so a team doesn't end up waiting for 2 players for example). As an incentive to arrive on time, The Algo will try not to put late players on a team which has a dedicated goal keeper and it may ignore their friend groupings.
