Their 5th place entry is in February, we'd a break from football shortly after that for some reason I can't recall and on returning we beat them 4-0. Some great team eh?Let's hope the scousers don't hear about these April rankings then!
There’s a lot on that list with peak dates that arent near the end of the season. Suggesting for the ones near the start/middle that it’s a continuation of the previous end of season form, before falling away… if that’s how the figures are worked out.Hence their peak date being in April, probably just before they had a meltdown against Chelsea in the CL and still had the league title in their hands.
Not the way it works, our 2020 ranking is down the page in the #1v#2 list and it's high enough to be #10 on the all time list. I think they break it down into phases differently, so this side might be the highest ranked expression of 1 City side from 2017-2023.There’s a lot on that list with peak dates that arent near the end of the season.

There’s precious few that are peaked near the end of the season.
It’s also interesting that this years City is the only City representation in the top 164. No centurions or fourmidables.

yes, but there's load of United's, which is why I thought it odd.Not the way it works, our 2020 ranking is down the page in the #1v#2 list and it's high enough to be #10 on the all time list.

2008, 2001, 2021, 1985... All markedly different sides. The 2001 team is the highest expression of their treble winning squad etc.yes, but there's load of United's, which is why I thought it odd.
Agreed. The site’s rule used to be the highest recorded in 5 year period then I seem to remember they moved it to 7 but there looks to be exceptions to both. If they just kept it to the highest rating each team had ever reached it would have been more straightforward.2008, 2001, 2021, 1985... All markedly different sides.

Edit: I do find it strange that the team under Mancini and Pellegrini don't get an entry in the longer list though, even if their Euro performances would have stopped team featuring too highly. Our rating of 1916 on 13/5/12 should be in there.
Was it the quickest goal in city's history?Such a great strike that De Gea genuflected as it flew past him.
