Manager Pressure Scores.
MPS means Manager Pressure Score.
Higher scores mean greater pressure.
Start with the score
MPS runs from 0 to 100. It combines wins, draws and losses, adjusts for opponent strength, and adds club dismissal history. It is an experimental index, not a dismissal probability or a rating of managerial ability.
The centre used to moderate small samples. It does not mean results met expectations. “Neutral baseline” means a confirmed manager spell has no eligible results yet. Fifty is not the average of today’s managers.
- 0–19Very low pressure
- 20–34Low pressure
- 35–64Near baseline
- 65–79Elevated pressure
- 80–89High pressure
- 90–100Very high pressure
These bands describe pressure; even a low score is no guarantee of job security.
THE RANKINGS
Highest pressure first
Choose a league, then search for a club or manager. Tied scores share a rank. Compare within a league: scores are not calibrated across leagues.
- Rank
- A red chevron points up for a rise in the pressure ranking; a green chevron points down for a fall, compared with the preceding matchweek view. A dash means unchanged; no symbol means no comparable rank.
- Change
- MPS points since the preceding matchweek view by result date. A plus means pressure rose; a dash means no comparable score.
- Last 5
- League results, oldest → newest. W = win, D = draw, L = loss.
Select a ranking card for the score breakdown, match results and data notes. Sorting keeps the original MPS ranks.

Higher MPS sits further left; lower MPS leads on the right. Distance follows the score on a fixed 0–100 scale, so equal scores share a position. Position and running style reflect the selected matchweek. The animation does not change scores.

What shapes MPS?
Wins lower pressure and losses raise it. Each match is scored primarily by its result (80%), with a smaller adjustment for pre-match expected points (20%).
60%
Recent results
Up to the last 8 eligible league matches, with more weight on the newest results.
30%
Tenure performance
Available results across the manager’s continuous spell at this club and in this league, including past seasons. Older matches count less.
10%
Club history
Confirmed in-season dismissals, fixed at a dated research review.
Results belong to this manager at the same club and in the same league. A partial score uses only individually confirmed matches when the appointment date is unknown. Recent and tenure results overlap; past seasons remain included. Scoring starts with the first match, and small samples are pulled toward 50.
Check the context
Matchweeks and past views
Use the arrows beside Matchweek to browse available rounds. Each view includes eligible results up to that round’s latest completed match, including matches from other rounds. Past views are reconstructed from verified records, not saved rankings published on that date. Club profiles show current scores.
Missing scores and data notes
A confirmed manager spell with no eligible matches receives the neutral score of 50, labelled “Neutral baseline” and “Insufficient data”. This neutral score is a placeholder. The first eligible result produces a calculated score and rank. An unverified manager or a data issue still leaves a score blank. A dash is not zero pressure. Interim and caretaker managers appear separately.
Scores from 1–7 matches are provisional. Missing club dismissal history uses 50 for C. Missing older match data is disclosed and never filled with losses or zero results; available tenure results still count. Neutral baseline entries do not appear in the pressure history chart or score-change comparisons. Check Sources and the profile’s timestamps for freshness. Data coverage does not measure prediction accuracy.
When an appointment date is unknown
The ranking, race and profile use the standard MPS and recent-results presentation. The score still uses only matches independently linked to the current manager, with the same formula and weights. Missing games may change the picture: the results are not treated as a confirmed continuous run, and no full-tenure coverage percentage is claimed.
The appointment date stays unknown in the profile and the detailed data notes retain the adopted match count, period and sources. If no eligible match can be verified, the manager remains listed with a dash for MPS. A change in score basis starts a separate comparison history.
What the score cannot tell you
MPS does not include private club decisions, contracts, injuries or dressing-room relationships. Its weights and categories remain experimental; real-data predictive performance has not been evaluated. Pages marked Demo use fictional clubs and results.
