Report: Fulham And Bournemouth May Have Flown Into The Premier League But This Is The Best Performing Championship Club

By Jack Porter
Posted: 13:45 Monday 9th May 2022
Fulham may have finished Championship champions, but the Cottagers don't top the list of Best Performing teams in the division.
Fulham may have finished Championship champions, but the Cottagers don't top the list of Best Performing teams in the division.

After 552 games, the 2021/22 Championship season came to its conclusion this weekend. With Fulham and Bournemouth already having confirmed their promotion to the Premier League, the final day saw Huddersfield leapfrog Nottingham Forest to the top play-off spot, and the 24 teams reach a total of 1,385 goals for the entire campaign with some blockbuster victories for West Bromwich Albion, Sheffield United, and even relegated Peterborough.

Whilst we wait to see who will become the last team to move up into the top division, with the play-offs beginning Friday 13 May, BettingOdds.com has produced a retrospect on the best and worst performing Championship teams of 2021/22, respective but not isolated to how close to the top of the table they were. In layman’s terms; how well they did compared to what they might have been expected to do. 

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 Championship for 2021/22 we have revised the Championship table into order of best to worst performers.

For example, in the Championship, Coventry City have the third-lowest team value (£17.91m), from a 25-man squad. Their two registered goalkeepers have an average value of £0.36m (19th / 19 points), nine defenders average £0.84m (19th/ 19 points), midfield £0.70m from eight players (21st/ 21 points) and the highest average forward value in the league, £0.67m (20th/ 20 points) from their six defined attackers. This created an overall average points tally for Coventry of 19.5. Weighed up against their final position of 12th, Coventry finished +7.5 places higher than expected of them (3rd in our overall table in this regard).

As a result, Luton Town - still in contention to ascend to the Premier League for the very first time - can rightly claim to be the best performing Championship team based on the difference between Predicted Position and Final Position, finishing a distinctly applaudable 13.5 places above where they should have been expected to based on the value of their players. The team that they will place in the play-offs, Huddersfield Town, finished directly below them, recording a better position by a score of 10.25.

The worst performing team out of the 24 was unsurprisingly a team that flirted with relegation throughout the season, Birmingham City, who suffered a miserable campaign but ultimately finished in 20th place. Birmingham had a Team Value Points Predicted Position of 10.25, but ended up bottom of our ranking from a difference of -9.5. Please bear in mind that the team slightly ahead of them in our rankings, one Derby County, suffered a 21 points deduction. Take a look at the full results below.
