Method and sources
The ranking uses an adapted version of Google's page-rank algorithm.
We include all games of the five European top leagues (England, Germany, Spain, Italy, France) plus all their games in the Champions League and Europa League.
With that we construct a graph where teams are the nodes of the graph. A win in a game is a directed link from the loser to the winner.
Page rank is used to convert into a Markovian network and its steady state gives the respective points for each team.
What do the points mean? Loosely speaking, positive numbers mean that the team has won more often than lost. Negative numbers mean the team lost more often than won. However, by construction of the page rank algorithm, the strength of the opposite team is important. E.g., a win against a top team counts more than a win against a team at the end of the table.
This also implies that the number of games that a team has played is not important. In other words, the method allows to compare teams that have played different number of games (for instance because they do or do not participate in the international leagues.)
