the club’s new leadership has solemnly vowed never again to judge their performance on the basis of a measurement as vulgar and imprecise as the league table. 'In fact, we have a manifesto now,' Ankersen says, 'which says that the model rating always, in any case, overrules the league position in evaluating our performance.'

Holy loving poo poo, I'm sure stats will one day have a bigger part in football but these people are loving delusional.

None the less it, Benham's system has very little to none to do with the signings FC Midtjylland has made this season. All four players that they've bought since the summer's transfer window aren't exactly unknown, no-name players. They bought Sparv, a finnish international, Dahlin, a swedish international, Larsen, a danish player that wasn't good enough to play abroad, and finally Pusic who was and is the league topscorer.
EDIT: They aLSO BOUGHT Marcos Urena, who was a part of Costa Rica's World Cup team.

Ankersen is able to say this because the model Midtjylland use ranks all the clubs in Europe as if they are in one big league. Greuther Fürth didn’t play against the Premier League, but they did play HSV of Hamburg, who in turn played Bayern Munich, who, in the Champions’ League, played Manchester City, who played the rest of the Premier League. Thanks to European club tournaments, the model can cross-reference results from different leagues and use advanced statistical tools to rank every club on the continent.

lmao yeah because bayern beat man city and man city beat everyone in england then therefore if you can do okay against a team from germany that means you would win the premier league, foolproof logic
