Power Rankings: Tottenham crowned champions; United 7th
Tottenham streaked away with our Power Rankings title after going goal crazy in the final two games, while the biggest underachievers and overachievers are revealed.
The real champions Chelsea could only finish second with Liverpool and Man City taking the other two Champions League places.
Everton were fifth, with Arsenal – our biggest flops, 12 points behind their real points tally, and Man Utd could only finish sixth – nine points down on their real tally.
Crystal Palace are our most underrated team – 17.5 points more than their real table tally and an eighth-placed finish.
At the bottom, Middlesbrough finished bottom with Sunderland and Hull also relegated.
In Power Rankings, we award points from 0.5 to 7, decided by an algorithm based on bookmaker odds and winning margins.
It rewards teams scoring lots of goals and also those defying expectations but sees odds-on favourites penalised for sneaking past inferior opponents by the odd goal.
