Premier League power rankings

played about five goals better than an average opponent; 0 is dead-average.
Strength of schedule is built in — beating good teams counts for more.

+1.5 goals per game against an average opponent, ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion (+1.2).
20 teams rated; the picks built on these ratings are graded on the public record.

How it works: we take every completed game, cap blowout margins so one
rout can't own a rating, and solve for the set of ratings where each team's number equals
its average margin plus the average rating of the teams it faced. That is the classic
Simple Rating System — fully reproducible from public scores, no human votes.
Ratings recompute daily as results land.
