Predicted final table

Every match called outright and the whole points added up – three for the side we named, because the working behind a call is complicated and a league table is not. Nobody wins 71.4 points. A match already played counts for what actually happened, on every tab – points won are facts and no call outranks a fact. The Current view recalculates after every match; behind it sit the calls we recorded at fixed checkpoints – pre-season, then after every club has played ten games, twenty, thirty – so you can see what we said then, measured against how it is actually going. On the first tab a call is always a winner; the second calls a draw wherever a match sits inside the draw zone – the same too-close-to-call band the match cards use.

P counts the results already in when the forecast froze; the rest of each row is the calls.
