Issue number 325 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post presents the points projected at the end of the season for teams from 22 leagues across Europe. The projection was calculated using a statistical model taking into account shots on target and from the box attempted or conceded, ball possession, as well as teams’ own passes and those of opponents in the opposite third of the pitch.

The beginning of the new year meant the beginning of a new adventure for the class of the FIFA Master 21st edition. After a well-deserved holiday break, where some of us flew back to our home countries to spend time with families and friends, while others opted to stay in the UK (checking off their bucket list places ranging from Old Trafford to Stonehenge in the process), it was time to move to Milan, Italy, for the start of our Sports Management module.

Held at the SDA Bocconi School of Management, the Sports Management module covers topics such as finance, marketing, organization and governance, strategy, business planning, and event management, applied to the context of sport.
