What it takes to win the league

The median league winner finished on 2,246 points. In one league out of ten the winner needed 2,364 points or more, and the very hardest leagues were won above 2,431. A quarter of leagues were taken with 2,134 points or fewer, so a modest total can still be enough when the field is quiet.

Method

Percentiles use the nearest-rank method and medians the classic midpoint method. The headline number is the median of the per-league median scores, which answers what a typical mid-table total looks like in a typical mini-league. Season points percentiles, league winner totals and league sizes are read straight from the final league tables, which are season-end totals for everyone still listed in them. The per-gameweek medians come from gameweek history instead. Figures cover managers whose gameweek history runs from the opening gameweek to the final gameweek of the season, so managers who joined after the season started, and managers who stopped early, are excluded. The sample skews toward active mini-leagues, so averages sit slightly higher than for the full global player base.
