Some of you may have seen this last season. It's a list of the 92 league clubs from this season, ranked based on their average league position. There's always a little bit of movement each season so here's is this year's list. (It's worth mentioning that clubs that have recently joined the League are at something of a disadvantage due to them not playing in the old Div. 3 North/South setup, which meant older clubs have played a lot of seasons with a worst possible ranking of 66, compared to 92 now. If I get a chance at some point I may redo the rankings so the Div. 3 North/South teams aren't given joint rankings for those seasons, therefore evening things up with the newer clubs.
Any time spent outside the league is not included.
1. Liverpool (average = 8.627)
2. Arsenal (9.126)
3. Everton
4. Manchester United
5. Aston Villa
6. Tottenham Hotspur
7. Newcastle United
8. Chelsea
9. Manchester City
10. Sunderland (15.505)
11. West Bromwich Albion
12. Leeds United
13. Blackburn Rovers
14. Derby County
15. West Ham United

17. Wolverhampton Wanderers
18. Middlesbrough
19. Sheffield United
20. Bolton Wanderers (20.991)
21. Nottingham Forest
22. Birmingham City
23. Leicester City
24. Stoke City
25. Ipswich Town
26. Southampton
27. Burnley
28. Preston North End
29. Portsmouth
30. Charlton Athletic (30.808)
31. Coventry City
32. Huddersfield Town
33. Milton Keynes Dons (including Wimbledon)
34. Blackpool
35. Fulham
36. Norwich City
37. Queen's Park Rangers
38. Notts County
39. Luton Town
40. Crystal Palace (40.418)
41. Bristol City
42. Grimsby Town
43. Cardiff City
44. Bury
45. Barnsley
46. Oldham Athletic
47. Millwall
48. Hull City
49. Plymouth Argyle
50. Watford (47.013)

53. Brighton & Hove Albion
54. Oxford United
55. Rotherham
56. Leyton Orient
57. Swindon Town
58. Swansea City
59. Reading
60. Bristol Rovers (52.557)

91. Barnet
92. Boston United (81.250)
If Accrington Stanley were on the list, they'd be at #70.

I expect yeovil and colchester will catch the stags soon Yeovil will overtake Mansfield with a top-half finish next season. Colchester would probably overtake them with 2 seasons in the Championship. |

59th! I hope we reach the Top 50 soon You should move up next season, wherever you finish but you're still about 10 top flight seasons away from the top 50. |

Didnt realise the Top 50 was so difficult to crack. I guess our lack of top flight experience hinders us here

Yeah... As the rankings are based on an average over a long period of time, they don't change much year-on-year. Even if Reading won the Premiership next season, they'd probably only move up 3 places at the most.

Actually, it could be 4 as Oxford won't be on next season's list.

I think when I first saw this I thought it was based on only this seasons performance over the 4 leagues.

If it was based on this season, then that would make Reading #21.  That list is coming soon... |

I'm currently in the process of doing the new version of this that adjusts the rankings for the Division 3 North and South years.
It might be ready next week...

Am so frustrated that Burnley are 1 above us!
Those seasons in the old 3rd Division did us no good whatsoever!

How can Notts County have risen two places when we finished 4th from bottom in the Football League last season, it doesn't make any sense!
