Reading

How to read the ELO ranking

ELO estimates relative team strength using results and opponent strength. It reflects a structural level, while recent form covers a much shorter run of matches. Values update as new match data becomes available.

Method

ELO ranking method and limits

Foresportia uses the latest reliable ELO observed for each club in the stated season. A league’s average ELO is descriptive, not an official ranking of competitions.

  • Strength versus form: ELO captures relative baseline strength; recent form covers only the latest results.
  • Coverage: a league is linked once its season and regular squad are identifiable, with at least 8 teams and 70% reliable ELO coverage. For continental competitions with changing fields, at least 8 ranked teams are sufficient. Early in a season, the latest historical ELO remains available while form reflects only new matches.
  • Changes: no ELO change is shown until a consistent history exists across competitions.
