Which domestic league in world football is the best?
That question can lead to a debate that may never end based on national pride and the aesthetics of the game in each country.
Instead of having a debate on which league looks best while watching it, we decided to delve into some of the statistics that matter most to the game and create a ranking based off of that system.
There are so many statistics that you can choose from nowadays to decipher whether a league is good or not. Instead of making a deep dive into how many successful tackles or aerial duels were won by each team in each league, we decided to look at some of the stats that matter most. The four statistics looked at for this ranking were goals per games played, red cards per games played, continental victories and point differential from first to last.
Goals bring the entertainment factor to world football and there is no denying that they are the ultimate game-changer. For this list, the number of goals scored were divided by the total number of games played in each league.
Red cards were selected to see how disciplined a certain league is. As we all know, red cards can shift matches on their head, which meant whatever league had the most red cards per games played was at a disadvantage.
