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 high, which often means fewer easy separation spots between mid-table teams.
