Premiership Simulator
After the success of the World Cup simulator, our attention switched to seeing how easy it is to model the Premier League. For the details of the method behind the model, see the list of articles at the bottom of this page.
Simulator #1
The first simulator was modelled using an odds-centric approach. Below is a version of this simulator, simply type anything into the dark grey box and hit enter. The table and graph should automatically update with a new simulated season.
Simulator #2
For the second simulator, the odds-centric approach is eschewed in favour of a more direct approach. This simulator is below - once again simply type anything into the dark grey cell and hit enter.
