Experimental 361 has uploaded a graphic to go with his data. These graphics break down how much the league table can change during the next round of fixtures as follows:

– Down the left is the current order if league table, with each club’s current league position also indicated by a shaded square in their row.

– Across each club’s row is a hollow colour-coded strip showing how they are mathematically capable of moving after the next round of fixtures is over, regardless of how crazy the combination of scorelines would need to be.

– To differentiate between the probable and the possible, inside the strip is a little minimalist column chart showing the relative chance of them ending up in each position based on my ratings model.
