What the two axes are

Goal difference per game. Goals for minus goals against, per game.

Shots for per game. Shots on goal per game. Counts every shot the same, from the point or the crease.

A lower-is-better measure is drawn with its axis flipped, so the best clubs are always up and to the right. The dashed lines are the league median; r is how closely the two measures move together across the 32 clubs. Methodology →
