The short version: these tables exist for fun. Here are the questions people tend to ask.
What is Mildly Interesting Football?
It is a hobby project that combines football data into three distinct alternative tables. It all started when I asked myself: what would a football table look like if all games from every club and every competition were combined into one large table?
These tables are not meant to provide any meaningful insight, though. At best they are mildly interesting — hence the name of this site. For example, a domestically and internationally successful Premier League club will likely top the table simply because of the number of games it plays during a season.
That is also why I introduced the PPG (Points per Game) column: to give a clearer picture of a club’s overall performance across an entire season.
What is the "All Competitions" table?
This table takes every game of every club from the UEFA top 5 leagues and combines them into one single "mega" table.
Since the teams are taken from the top 5 leagues, every season has a different set of clubs (due to relegation).
What is the "Cards" table?
The "Cards" table is structurally similar to the "All Competitions" table, but here the result of each game is decided by cards rather than goals.
To explain further: Team A receives 4 cards (yellow or red) and Team B only 2. Team A therefore wins 4:2 and gets 3 points.
In this case, A is the winning team even though, by the actual score, B might have won the match 0:8 on goals.
What is the "90+" table?
The "90+" table is structurally similar to the "All Competitions" table, but here the result of each game is determined only by goals scored in stoppage time (the 90+ minutes).
A hypothetical game could be: Team A wins 7:1 against Team B, but Team B scores their only goal in the 90th minute.
By the logic of this table, Team B wins 0:1 and gets 3 points.
How are the tables sorted?
All tables are sorted by the same set of criteria, applied in this order: points, then PPG (points per game), goal difference, goals scored, and finally team name.
Each criterion is only used to break a tie when the previous one is equal.
Which leagues and cups are included in the tables?
The tables cover the UEFA top 5 leagues together with their national cups and super cups, plus the major UEFA and FIFA club competitions. For each season that currently means:
- Germany — Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and the German Super Cup
- England — Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and the FA Community Shield
- Spain — La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup
- Italy — Serie A, Coppa Italia and the Supercoppa Italiana
- France — Ligue 1, Coupe de France and the Trophée des Champions
- International — UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup
Are these tables official or accurate?
No. The tables are unofficial and have no sporting, betting or statistical value. They are meant purely for entertainment, and I do not believe they provide any meaningful insight.
Where does the data come from?
Match data is pulled from a third-party football data API and then aggregated by us. We are not the original source and cannot guarantee its completeness or correctness. Data may be delayed or temporarily unavailable.
Why only the UEFA top 5 leagues?
Mostly to keep things manageable. This is a one-man hobby project, so I had to draw the line somewhere, and the top 5 leagues felt like a natural starting point.
Limiting the scope also keeps the project simpler to build and maintain, and it keeps the tables themselves smaller and easier to read. Adding more leagues would mean a lot more clubs, more data to pull from the API, and far longer tables.
I know this means many great European clubs are missing for now — that is simply a limitation of the project’s current scope. I am keeping the door open to extend the tables in the future.
Is this site affiliated with any club, league or governing body?
No. This site is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any club, league, federation or data provider. All club names, competition names and logos are the property of their respective owners.
Can I use this data for betting or analysis?
Please don’t. The tables are meant to be merely mildly interesting and at best as a joke.
I found a mistake. What should I do?
Great — if you found a mistake there might be a genuine bug. Feel free to get in touch via the contact details in the Imprint.
