- EL/CWC/UEFA Titles lists Europa League (2009-2011), UEFA Cup (1971-2008), Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (1955-1971) and UEFA Cup Winners' Cup (1961-1999) and wins.
- % of Foreign Players consists of players whose nationality differs from the country they play in. If a player has dual citizenship, the first nationality decides.

This is great work, one of the interesting things is how well the French league does despite being seen as a development league.
This site is fantastic, curious if you thought about adding a percentage of non-scoreless draws? Keep up the good work!
Thanks! You can calculate non-scoreless draws on your own from the data given :) Take EPL for example: 47% home wins, 24% away wins means there must be 29% draws. 29% minus 6.6% (0:0) = 22.4% of all EPL games in 2010/2011 end in a non-scoreless draw.
I know this isn’t 100% accurate as home and away wins are rounded to whole numbers, but it can give you *almost* accurate results.
Great site, great work. I am always interested in data like this.
I would be interested, and have previously tried to construct, in a similar index based on TV contracts. I fell down through lack of identifiable or verifiable data. It is also made difficult through collective bargaining deals versus individual club TV contracts. Would like to compare the size of the TV contracts, price per game, extent of other sponsorship revenue, prize money pot, number of televised games, revenue from international rights and maybe even average audience figures.
That would be an interesting comparison too. I realise your site is all about the footballing aspects of the game, as it should be, but a comparison of what makes the game tick from a modern perspective would be fascinating too.
Thanks for your input, Kenny! As you said, gaining reliable data is a pain in the lower back, especially when it comes to smaller countries / leagues. Now that the main site has 50 leagues I might look at the finances again, but don’t expect too much.
It would be nice to add a column with the number of teams in each league/division.
