The Index ranks all the clubs in the top division of all European countries, showing their relative playing strengths and the development of playing strengths in time.

The ECI-value of a team represents the expected level of sporting success and is derived from historical and actual sporting results: in league matches, in national cup matches and in UEFA competition.

The ECI-values are calculated, based on all relevant match results from several recent seasons, using scientific statistical methods. The impact of more recent matches on the ECI-value is higher than that of older matches.
