Currently Montpellier are subject to a 1-point deduction. This has been accounted for in the Rate calculation.

Home and away points-per-match rates:

Key:

The league-table rankings are shown in the centre of the table, with the alt-3 league position in bold to the right, and the more standard league-table position (based on points already in the bag, with goal-difference to resolve ties where needed) shown in the grey section of the table, to the left.

In the central dark-blue vertical band are (typically) up- or down-arrows to indicate where teams are higher or lower in the alt-3 table than in the standard table. A solid arrow or indicates a difference of 3 or more league places.

The other numbers shown in the table are:

• The usual league-table summaries:
  • Pld: matches played to date
  • GD: goal difference
  • Pts: league points won to date, minus any points deducted by the league
• The alt-3 league table:
  • ePld: the alt-3 measure of each team's effective number of matches played to date.
    • Where ePld is less than the actual number Pld of matches played, the team has played tougher opposition than average; and vice-versa where ePld exceeds Pld.
    • Where the difference between Pld and ePld is a whole match or more, the team's numbers in the alt-3 table are colour-highlighted (in light green where ePld is less than Pld, and light red where the reverse is true).
    • Where schedule-strength imbalance is so strong that Pld and ePld differ by more than 2.0, the entry in the ePld column is shown in bold type
  • Rate: the league points won per effective match played, i.e., Rate = Pts ÷ ePld . [That's the alt-3 Rate calculation for a "normal" team with no points deducted by the league. Where points have been deducted, the appropriate adjustment is made: see The league tables explained for details.]
  The alt-3 league table is sorted according to the current values of Rate.
