Alternative Premier League, Gameweek 11: Man United Slip Up Based On Recent Form
I’m away this week so I won’t have time to do a complete rundown for week 11.
Last week there was a comment on the article which said that it would be interesting to use the APL point format to chart recent form, and I agree. So along with the full table, there is also a 5 game form table – note Arsenal’s high position and Manchester United’s comparatively low position.

Where can I find information on how you calculate points in this alternate league. It is very interesting!
Thanks

How Arsenal would be ahead of Newcastle and Tottenham based on form does not make sense?
4-0-1 as opposed to 4-1-0 ??
Surely you must look at opponents played and whether they played home or away to figure the table.
Liverpool have drawn with both Swansea and Norwich at home and yet still get a high ranking. Ridiculous!
