It helps you to see at a glance, how big the gaps are between teams. So you can see how hard it is for us to catch Liverpool, you can see how far we are ahead of 5th place which is vital, and as others say you can see groupings if you do the full table.Genuine question and not a dig, but why do we keep posting these points based tables?? What do they offer over a regular table that i'm missing?
If it's to try and showcase the real distance between the teams, then it seems frugal given 3pts moves you drastically up rather than moving just one position.
If it's to make us feel good about how far we are visually away from Chelsea and Arsenal right now, then that's a very naive thing to do.
I'm sure we're all educated enough to understand the points difference between teams without the need to spell it out in relative distances? (Then again... )
Like i said, not a dig, just wondered what i'm missing with this layout.
Obvs you can do the maths with a normal table, but it is more immediate to view it like this.
And yes, you get 3 points for a win but this visualisation enables you to view that more clearly.
Frankly you can say that of almost any chart - "Why not just show a table of figures" - well... that is why people make charts. This is a simple chart view of the table really.
