Travel and controls do not change the opposition score or rank.

How 72.453 becomes 49 / 100

100 × (72.453 − 66.875) ÷ (78.255 − 66.875). The weakest opposition average in this edition maps to 0; the strongest maps to 100. The scale is relative to this competition and season. A score of 100 is not a probability. Home and away averages show fixture context without an added multiplier.
