Methodology

Only genuine signings for the first-team squad are considered — academy promotions, loan returns and internal moves are excluded. Each evaluated signing is classified into five tiers from a score that combines match ratings, attacking output adjusted for game time and consistency over the season, in comparison with the other players in the competition. Successful signings count as a full point; Fair ones, half a point.
