Derby County bagged a first win of the season in dramatic fashion at the weekend.

A rare Andreas Weimann strike sealed a 1-0 win at West Brom to get the Rams up and running.

They face another winnable game this weekend when Preston visit Pride Park.

At the other end of the table Middlesbrough, Bristol City and Coventry City remain unbeaten.

Stoke City and Leicester City have also enjoyed good starts in the very early season.

How it works

The supercomputer simulated the league season 100,000 times and takes into account all match results from this pre-season and the current season, projecting the season based on both pre-season expectations, fixture difficulty and xG earned both for and against during the season.

It now also integrates team financial data and player values from Transfermarkt. This additional layer of data provides a more nuanced understanding of team capabilities and potential performance variations.
