Report: Forget Wigan, Wycombe And Wednesday, Based On Team Value The Best Performing Club In League One Is…

By Jack Porter

BettingOdds.com has looked at the team values of every 2021/22 League One outfit and devised a new metric for best and worst performing clubs
BettingOdds.com has looked at the team values of every 2021/22 League One outfit and devised a new metric for best and worst performing clubs

On the weekend that rounded off April, the 2021/22 League One season became the first division at the top of the English football pyramid to conclude its campaign. The final gameweek saw Wigan Athletic crowned champions, just about seeing off perpetual bungee-danglers Rotherham United who accompanied their EFL Trophy claim with a swift return to the Championship after just one year away (if that feels like deja vu, it’s because it’s the Millers have sandwiched their third promotion in four years in between three relegations. Never change, lads). Who will accompany the two northern sides will be decided over the course of the play-offs, with a victor out of Milton Keynes Dons, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Wycombe Wanderers being declared at Wembley Stadium on May 21. League One also said goodbye to Gillingham, Doncaster Rovers, AFC Wimbledon and Crewe Alexandra who all descended down to the third team of the English Football League.

But who has performed the best for the season? Which teams have been punching above their weight, and which have made heavy weather of it all? Of course, the final table in itself is an easy indicator, but as any football fan worth their salt knows, it doesn’t tell the whole story.

Premier League Betting

Using an algorithm that has broken down Team Value into individual position (Goalkeeper / Defence / Midfield / Forward) to produce an average weighted score (the four average values of each individual positional field ranked in ascending order, combined and divided to produce an average) and measured it against their final position in League One for 2021/22 we have revised the League One table into order of best to worst performers.

For example, Sunderland have the second-highest team value (£16.43m) from a 25-man squad. Their three registered goalkeepers have an average value of £0.21m (6th / 6 points), six defenders average £0.41m (2nd/ 2 points), midfield £0.42m from seven players (5th/ 5 points) and the highest average forward value in the league, £1.37m (1st/ 1 point) from their seven bonafide attackers.

This created an overall points tally for Sunderland of 3.5. Weighed up against their final position of 5th, the Black Cats finished -1.5 places lower than expected of them (12th in our overall table).

As a result, though Accrington Stanley finished 39 points off champions Wigan and 24 points from a possible play-off place, Accy and owner Andy Holt were the best performing EFL League One team based on the difference between Predicted Position and Final Position, finishing a mammoth 10.75 places above where they should have been expected to based on the value of their players.

The worst performing team out of the 24 was in fact none of the four eventually relegated. Lincoln City finished safely in 17th place, but with a Team Value Points Predicted Position of 9.25, the Imps ended up bottom of our ranking from a difference of -7.75. Take a look at the full results below.
