Here's how it works speeds HOW IT WORKS Scores are based on points per game in domestic league, Champions League and Europa games. Domestic points per game are multiplied by the league coefficient - either 3.5, 4, 4.5 or 5 - with teams in stronger leagues getting more credit. League coefficients: 5 - England, Italy, Spain. 4.5 - Germany, France, Portugal, Netherlands, Russia. 4 - Belgium, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Ukraine, Scotland, Romania. 3.5 - Cyprus, Switzerland, Israel, Denmark, Austria. Champions League victories are counted as three points for a win. They are all multiplied by a coefficient of 5. Matches in the group stage and beyond are counted. Europa League victories are counted as three points for a win. They are all multiplied by a coefficient of 4. Matches in the group stage and beyond are counted. (*) Asterisked teams have been relegated from Champs League to Europa League and had their formulas adjusted to reflect the amount they have gained or lost in Europe since then. Example: Barcelona 84 points from 33 La Liga games = 2.55 points per game Multiplied by league coefficient of 5 - 2.55 x 5 = 12.73 19 points from 10 Champions League game = 1.90 points per game. Multiplied by Champions League coefficient of five - 1.90 x 5 = 9.50 Total score = 12.73 + 9.50 = 22.23
