After the 2016/2017 3rd matchday of the Group Stage, the best team is Copenhagen (Denmark), even if they lost the last game 0-1 at Leicester. The team's total score is 161,56. Austria Wien (Austria) is at second place, with 157,80 points. The third team is Hapoel Be'er Sheva (Israel), with 148,88 points. None of the first three teams managed to win the last match they played. Copenhagen is also the best team in Champions League. The worst team still in the competition is Club Brugge (Belgium), who started directly from Champions League group stage, losing 0-3 to Leicester, 0-4 to Copenhagen and 1-2 to Porto. Now they are in the 231st position with 1,35 points. The complete ranking is in my blog, here.
After the 2017/2017 group stage the best team is Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), who started from the 3rd qualifying round of Champions League, being eliminated by Young Boys; in Europa League they won the play-off matches and all the 6 group stage games, scoring 21 goals and conceding 5. The team's total score is 238,40. Copenhagen (Denmark) are at the second place, with 234,35 points. Osmalinspor (Turkey) are third, with 219,35 points. All the first three clubs will play in Europa League the next round, while the best team still in Champions League is Monaco (France), who won their group with 11 points, 9 goals scored and 7 conceded. They are 4th at 214,96 points. Club Brugge (Belgium) is, and will be, the worst team this year with 1 point, having lost all the matches in the group stage, scoring 2 goals and conceding 14. Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) has been the worst team in Champions League group stage history, having ended the group with no points, no goals scored and 15 conceded, but they had passed 3 rounds before qualifying for the group, and they also had a lower initial score than Club Brugge (44,44 vs. 47,37), so their match coefficients were higher. The worst team still in the competition is Legia Warsaw (Poland), who won 3 qualifying rounds in Champions League, but in the group stage made 4 points conceding 24 goals; the only match they won in the group was the last one against Sporting CP, surpassing them in the group ranking and qualifying for the Europa League's round of 32. The complete ranking is here.
I didn't realize they hadn't scored. The 2009-2010 Champions League page on Wikipedia says "Maccabi Haifa was the first club to finish the Champions League group stage with 0 wins, 0 goals and 0 points." They lost 1:0 five times and 3:0 once for a total of 8 goals allowed, so Dinamo Zagreb did much worse than that. Wikipedia is redundant because saying "0 goals and 0 points" would have been sufficient because a club with 0 points also had 0 wins.
Yes, Dinamo Zagreb did very bad this year, and the 2 matches against Juventus were quite boring; I think also the others were not very exciting. Increasing the number of teams and matches doesn't always mean to increase the level of the show.
They are all playing in the Europa League. The best club in the Champions League is Porto (Portugal), with 231,16 points; they are 4th in the overall ranking.
At the end of the 2016/2017 campaign the best team is Monaco (France), with 546,79 points. They took part in the Champions League, starting from the third qualifying round and being eliminated in the semi-finals round by Juventus, after 9 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats (2 against Juventus). The low starting score (35,88) let them collecting so many points. Much part of the total score is due to the quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund, whom they defeat by 3-2 and 3-1. The coefficient for Monaco was 1,661, so they managed to gain 239 points (+10 bonus) in that round only. The second team in the ranking is Juventus (Italy) with 516,48 points, and the third is Real Madrid (Spain) with 500,64 points. These two teams were the CL's finalists. The best team in Europa League has been Manchester United (England), who won the Cup finishing in 4th position with 394,04 points. The complete ranking is here.
Yes they did a pretty good job, with 3 rounds in the Champions League and then the group stage and another round in Europa League. They got negative scores only against Sparta Prague (2 defeats in the group stage) and Besiktas (2 defeats in the EL round of 32). They got a lot of points (103) against Internazionale: they had a coefficient of 1,426 but managed to win both the matches; actually after these 2 matches the team got quite popular here in Italy.
After the 2017-2018 play-off round, the best team is Osijek (Croatia). They started from the first round in Europa League, eliminating UE Santa Coloma (Andorra), Luzern (Switzerland) and PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands); in the play-off round they were eliminated by Austria Wien (Austria), however managing to win one of the two matches, thus gaining 18 points. The team's total score is 132,42. The second team is Red Star Belgrade (Serbia), with 116,90 points. The third team is Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel), with 116,39 points. The best club still in the Champions League is Celtic (Scotland), who is in the 14th position with a total score of 45,58. They started from the second round, eliminating Linfield (North Ireland), Rosenborg (Norway) and Astana (Kazakhstan). The worst team still in the competition is Hoffenheim (Germany), who played only the Champions League's play-off, losing to Liverpool 1-2 and 2-4. Now they are in the 172nd position with 18,34 points, and will take part in the Europa League's Group Stage. The complete ranking is here.
After the 2nd matchday of the group stage, the best team is Red Star Belgrade (Serbia). They started from the very first round of Europa League, obtaining 5 wins, 2 draws and losing only 1 against Krasnodar. In the group stage they got 1 draw and 1 win until now. The team's total score is 162,47. The second team is Östersund (Sweden), with 161,55 points. The third team is Milan (Italy), with 157,55 points. The best team in Champions League is CSKA Moscow (Russia), who lost 1-4 against Manchester United, losing therefore 4 places in the ranking; now they are 7th with 119,75 points. The worst team still in the competition is Benfica (Portugal) who lost both the matches played in the group stage, against opponents with a much lower score (CSKA Moscow and Basel). Now they are at the 233rd position with 6,60 points. The complete ranking is here.
After the 4th matchday of the group stage, the best team is Milan (Italy). They won the first 6 games played (3rd qualifying round, play-off and the first 2 matches of the group stage) and drew the last 2 against AEK Athens. The team's total score is 172,56. The second team is Red Star Belgrade (Serbia), with 171,82 points. The third team is Östersund (Sweden), with 170,58 points. The best team in Champions League is Liverpool (England), who started from the play-off (2 wins against Hoffenheim) and then got 2 wins and 2 draws in the group stage, with a 10-0 aggregate score against Maribor. They are 5th in the ranking, with 161,54 points. The worst team still in the competition is Anderlecht (Belgium) who lost all the 4 matches played in the group stage, conceding 15 goals without scoring any. Now they are in the last position of the ranking (236th) with 1 point. The complete ranking is here.
After the group stage, the top team are Tottenham Hotspur (England); they got 5 wins and 1 draw in their Champions League group, getting a total of 235,37 points. Östersund (Sweden) are at the 2nd position, with 227,55 points. Red Star Belgrade (Serbia) are third, with 224,35 points. The worst team still in the competition is Borussia Dortmund (Germany) who were in the same group as Tottenham, but got only 2 draws, being thus relegated to the Europa League. Now they are in the 206th position with 39,30 points. The complete ranking is here.
At the end of the 2017/2018 campaign the best team is Liverpool (England, CL finalist), with 635,29 points. The second team in the ranking is Real Madrid (Spain, CL winners) with 465,22 points, and the third one is Roma (Italy, CL semifinalist) with 415,94 points. Why is the spread between the 1st and the 2nd so large? Liverpool had a starting quinquennial score almost half of Real one's (40,84 points vs. 75,02), so generally the English team had match coefficients much higher for every match played. They started from the CL playoff round, therefore having two games more to gain points with. The playoff was against Hoffenheim, and Liverpool gained 38 points. In the group stage, Real got around 110 points, while Liverpool around 175, especially because they defeated 7-0 and 3-0 Maribor, who had an almost equal starting score (40,44), thanks to their performances in the last 5 years in the European Cups (Liverpool took part in only 3 campaigns out of 5). In the round of 16, Liverpool gained other 36 points over RM. The quarter-final round was the actual turning point, because Liverpool won 3-0 and 2-1 against Manchester City, gaining around 180 points (RM got only 63 because they lost one match against Juventus). The semifinals were slightly favorable for Real (75 points against 63), as of course was the final (41 against -4). In the end, adding also all the bonuses, Real Madrid got 448,49 points, adjusted to 465,22 thanks to the final adjustment I made to avoid negative scores in the ranking. The best team in Europa League was Marseille (France), who reached the final and finished in 5th position with 370,96 points. The EL winner, Atletico Madrid (Spain), ended only at the 16th place with 267,36 points, because of the high starting quinquennial score (64,64 points, while Marseille had only 32,98).
