📈 Efficiency Frontier

Points earned vs. salary. The dashed line is fair value — the points a team is expected to earn for its price. Teams above the line overperformed; teams below underperformed.

Overperformer— above fair value (18)

Underperformer— below fair value (30)

Fair value = the pool's average points per salary dollar, scaled to each team's price. Hover a dot for details.

💰 Points per Game vs. GDP

Does national wealth predict pool performance? The dashed line is the trend — the points per game you'd expect for a country's GDP. Flags above the line overperform their wealth; below underperform.

Overperformer— above the trend (22)

Underperformer— below the trend (26)

GDP is approximate nominal GDP (2024, USD); England uses the UK figure. Points per game = a team's pool points divided by its finished matches. Hover a flag for details.

⚽ Points per Game vs. Soccer Culture

Do the soccer-obsessed nations actually deliver in the pool? The dashed line is the trend — the points per game you'd expect for a country's soccer culture. Flags above the line overperform their pedigree; below underperform.

Overperformer— above the trend (19)

Underperformer— below the trend (29)

Soccer-culture index is a rough editorial 0–100 score of how central the sport is to each nation — not hard data. Points per game = a team's pool points divided by its finished matches. Hover a flag for details.

👥 Points per Game vs. Population

Do bigger nations deliver in the pool? The dashed line is the trend — the points per game you'd expect for a country's population. Flags above the line overperform their size; below underperform.

Overperformer— above the trend (21)

Underperformer— below the trend (27)

Population is approximate (2024, in millions); England uses the UK figure. Points per game = a team's pool points divided by its finished matches. Hover a flag for details.

💹 Team Value Analysis

Which hyped teams are delivering. Each team is plotted by popularity (how many picked it) against points earned so far— so a popular team that's flopping reads as Overhyped, and an overlooked team that's producing is a Hidden Gem. Salary is shown for context.

Points= what the team has scored in the pool so far (round results + goal bonus), sorted highest first. It's the team's actual output, indexed to games played — not a full-tournament salary guess — so a winning team isn't penalized for being expensive.

Points Earned vs. Times Picked

Every team's total points alongside how many entries rostered it — long blue with short amber was a hidden gem, the reverse was a bust. Bars are scaled to each measure's max; the numbers are the real values.
