Arsenal - Sheffield United @ 18.01.2020

This number is calculated using a proprietary formula based the numbers of goals scored by each team. The numbers for each game show the attack for each team depending on the type of game ("host" or "guest"). This means that for teams that are hosts the "attack force" is calculated based on the number of goals scored while being hosts while the number for the games played as guests will take into account only games that were played as being guests.

This way you can take into account situations where a team's performance varies significantly when playing at home versus when playing away.

The values for this parameter varies from around 10 (weakest attack) to 100 (strongest attack).

The shape of a team represents how the team performed vis-a-vis of the expectations. A team may under-perform or over-perform.

A super-team like Barcelona might be under-performing if it looses 2 games in a row after 8 wins and a weak team might be over-performing if it wins 2 games in a row after 8 loses.

Because some teams perform differently based on whether they play at home or away this parameter is also computed based on the game type played (as "host" or as "guest").

The values for this parameter varies from around 20 (least in shape team) to 100 (most in shape team).
