Stability / chaos notes
- This looks like a high-event league: goals per match are comfortably above the typical 2.5 line.
- 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.
Who is the current power leader in Professional Development League 2025?
Brentford U21 currently leads the league by Elo with an overall rating of 1,619.2. The average league Elo is 1,482.8.
