Stability / chaos notes
- Goal volume is balanced rather than extreme, which usually increases match-to-match variance.
- Power spread is wide, so hierarchy is clearer and top-vs-bottom gaps matter more.
- Draw frequency is relatively low, so decisive results shape the table faster.

The table rewards accumulated points, while FootyWow Power reacts to the quality and strength signal behind those results. That helps surface overperformers, underperformers, and momentum swings.

Harborough Town currently leads the league by Elo with an overall rating of 1,690.9. The average league Elo is 1,548.6.
