What is the difference between the Points Performance Index and the Performance Rating?
The Points Performance Index (PPI) is based on Points Per Game. Its goal is to mesure the team's capacity to pick up points in the league table. This is a points-centric indicator.
The Performance Rating is based on what we call Performance Points (pPts). Unlike typical Points, where a draw is rewarded at one third of a win, Performance Points are calculated so as to value a draw as half a win.
The typical 3-1-0 point system provides a clear incentive for teams to aim for the win. In the past, the old 2-1-0 system could cause some teams to aim too often for a draw, which could cause some games to become less interesting to watch, especially from a neutral spectator's perspective.
However calculating 'Performance Points' on the base of 1 point for a win, 0.5 point for a draw and 0 point for a defeat allows to take a different look at team performance, as illustrated in the following example:
Let's assume Team A and Team B have each played 10 games.
Team A has the following record:
5 Wins, 0 Draw, 5 Defeats (Total: 15 points | 5 performance points)
Team B has the following record:
2 Wins, 8 Draws, 0 Defeat (Total: 14 points | 6 performance points)
So Team A has been more effective at picking up points than Team B therefore if both teams were to repeat those exact result patterns until the end of the season, Team A will logically finish the season above Team B in the league table.
Now when it comes to analysing performance, one could argue that a team like Team B, that has remained undefeated, winning twice, should not necessarily be considered as having demonstrated a weaker performance than a team that lost half of their matches, as Team A did.
With the classic points system, Team A has a PPG (Points Per Game) of 1.5 and Team B has a lower PPG: 1.4.
With the Performance Points system, Team A has a pPPG (Performance Points Per Game) of 50% and Team B has a higher pPPG: 60%.
How is the Performance Rating calculated?
The Performance Rating (PR) is calculated based on the team's Performance Points Per Game (pPPG) and the pPPG of the opponents already played by the team.
Using the same logic as with the Points Performance Index, the Opponents pPPG value is calculated by taking into account the Away pPPG of opponents played at home and the Home pPPG of opponents played away.

More information about the details of each opponent PPG value is visible by hovering the mouse cursor over any of the 'Opponents played PPG' or 'Opponents remaining PPG' values.
Note: for each team, the opponents' PPG values above are calculated based on the current PPG (Points Per Game) of each of the team's opponents in the league's regular season, taking into account whether the opponent:
- has been played at home or away (played opponents' PPG)
- or will be played at home or away (remaining opponents' PPG).
For example, if a team has the following 4 matches left to play in the regular season:
Match #1 to be played at home against Opponent A
Match #2 to be played away against Opponent B
Match #3 to be played at home against Opponent C
Match #4 to be played away against Opponent D
The value calculated for the remaining opponents' PPG in that example will be the average of the away PPG of Opponent A, the home PPG of Opponent B, the away PPG of Opponent C, and the home PPG of Opponent D.
The objective is to evaluate PPG of previous and remaining opponents based on whether such opponents were faced (or will be faced) at home or away, as there may be a significant difference between a given opponent's results achieved in their home matches and those achieved in away matches.
Please note that these calculations are based on the data that we currently have access to. For some leagues, not all remaining matches are known at any given time. Match dates and schedules may change during the season.
The table is described in more details in the Run-in analysis blog article.

More information about the details of each opponent PPG value is visible by hovering the mouse cursor over any of the 'PLA' column (Opponents played PPG) or the 'REM' column (Opponents remaining PPG) values.
This table shows the current Points Per Game for each team, the Points Per Game of the opponents they have already played against, and the Points Per Game (PPG) of the opponents they have yet to play against.
A Ratio below 1 indicates that the team has played a combined opposition that has a PPG that is lower than the combined PPG of the future oppositions.
A Ratio above 1 indicates that the team has played a combined opposition that has a PPG that is higher than the combined PPG of the future oppositions.
We calculate the Projected PPG for the team by multiplying the team's existing PPG with that Ratio value.
We then multiply that Projected PPG (pPPG) value with the number of remaining games that the team still has to play, and the result is called the Projected Points (pPts)
The value in the last column is the combined points value, calculated by adding the number of existing points to the number of Projected Points.
For this table:
GP: Games Played
Pts: Points
PPG: Points Per Game (Team PPG)
PLA: PPG of opponents played
REM: PPG of opponents remaining
Ratio: PPG of opponents played / PPG of opponents remaining
pPPG: Projected PPG (Team PPG x Ratio), up to a limit of 3
GR: Games Remaining (number of matches remaining to be played by the team)
pPts: Projected Points (GR x pPPG)
Combined: Pts + pPts
The formula can be summarized as:
Projected Points = Team current PPG x (played opponents PPG / remaining opponents PPG) x number of remaining matches
Or if we use the column headers of the above table, the formula would translate to:
Projected Points = PPG x (PLA / REM) x GR
Note: Projected points are projections, not predictions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Note #2: Please note that these calculations are based on the data that we currently have access to. The number of projected points is partly based on the number of remaining matches listed in the GR (Games Remaining) column. For some leagues, not all remaining matches are known at any given time.
You may also want to take a look at the Run-in analysis table, which is also based on metrics calculated in this Projected Points table.
