Nigeria will never cease to amaze me.

Clearly Rivers United is ahead of Enyimba this season no matter the parameter used.

So why is enyimba placed above Rivers based on what

Lamasta:
Rivers United should accept their fate and forget going to court cos its a waste of time and effort..
Every decision made by the NPFL is for the food of all teams that participated without any bias...

elisho:
This can never happen up rivers united

Ajibel:


Enyimba has 5 games outstanding. Isnt it baffling that even at that, enyimba still comes close to rivers in whatever parameters you're also using

Edopesin:

At the bolded
Head to Head, Weighted PPG will put Enyimba ahead but that's just how LMC wants to scam them because goal difference coefficient should have been considered before head to head and Wppg
Modified
Goal difference coefficient is Goals scored/Games played to make it even since the league wasn't completed

idahme:



If your argument holds water then the league should be completed else the right table standing should be maintained... It doesn't matter if you are having 20games in hand, ur games not played doesn't affect your position on the table that's the football rule and it's sacrosanct.

SlyCharlie:


Even if you use Goals Coefficient.
Enyimba would be in second position.
Do your maths well
Enyimba scored 30 goals in 20 games that'll give you a coefficient of 1.5
.
Rivers United scored 28 goals in 25 game's that'll give you a coefficient of 1.12.

The Rivers people are even confused.
they don't even know what they are fighting for.
they'd lose at CAS if they are foolish enough to go to that extent.

Edopesin:


Read the comment you quoted again
The LMC used WPPG and Head to Head to put Enyimba ahead

I said the goal coefficient should have been used

elpochas:
when last did a Nigeria side play in the Semi final of CAF champions league.Tell me,i even prefer Eyimba to represent us cause they are the last Nigeria side to win it and that was over 14 years ago.So next time before you quote me do your research well enough.

chaloskyx:
but i just checked and rivers is second 45 points and eyimba is fourth with 37 points in the table now so where is this report coming from?

Edopesin:


You're not doing the maths correctly

It is the goals scored/ matches played not the other way around

Plateau have 0.52 which is 0.02 more than Enyimba's 0.50

Plateau are fighting because of this, the LMC used head to head after PPG which shouldn't have been the case because after points, goal difference is next in line to determine position

SlyCharlie:

What are you even saying...

Firstly the fight is between Rivers United and Enyimba, not Platue United.

Secondly, if (goals scored/matches) played, then Enyimba still qualifies ahead of Rivers United.

For Enyimba

Goals Scored = 30
Matches Played = 20.
Goals scored/Matches played = 30/20= 1.5
.

For Rivers United.

Goals Scored = 28
Matches Played = 25
Goals scored/Matches Played = 28/25= 1.12

1.5 > 1.12 hence Enyimba still qualify.


Whatever Parameter you use be it PPG with(Head to Head), Goals Coefficient or WPPG, Enyimba will still be ahead of Rivers United.

The only glimmer of hope Rivers United may have, is the Original Goals difference where Rivers United has +13 while Enyimba has +10.
But using Goals difference won't make sense since the teams in question didn't play the same number of games i.e Enyimba played five games less.

Edopesin:


You are only trying too hard to justify it

It is Goal difference/Matches played not Matched

That is what my initial comment said, you cannot use just goal scored to determine position, you should know this

When two teams are tied on the same point, goal difference will be use to determine position

Now

Since the league wasn't completed, the points per game (PPG) was used to even things out, when teams are tied on the same PPG, you are supposed to use goal difference per game to also even things out

This is what Rivers are fighting for

Ajibel:
They're just envious enyimba is ahead of them. Make Dem eat shit
