A significant amount of bully to get up to date with as the Speedboat League series is brought current following the midweek truncated fixture list.

For paying subscribers, the following is included:

1. The Speedboat League – what you could or perhaps should have won – the expected points league table based on underlying performances.

2. The Banked It League – a happy synthesis of nerdom and cold, rational “the only stat that matters” as we projected forward to estimate how the league will finish.

3. The Rolling xG – the three title protagonists and their underlying xG performances for and against, or a rolling six match average basis. Can anyone get to the magic +1.5 xG standard consistently?

4. The Lucky Leprechaun League – who is benefitting from keeper play and finishing, and who is shrouded in negative perception as the ball just won’t go in and/or the opposition keep top shelfing it?

5. The Variance Monster League – calculates the impact of red cards, penalties and own goals. All the stuff the manager cannot legislate for, but their job may hinge on it, nonetheless.

Fancy a bit of bully? You know what to do.
