Germán el ‘Mono’ Burgos, who for many years was second to 'Cholo' Simeone at Atlético de Madrid and who currently, after leaving the mattress box, is waiting for a team to give him the opportunity to debut as first coach, spread the past weekend through their social networks a proposal for modify the scoring system in the world of soccer.
Driven by the lack of goals that can be seen in LaLiga Santander, the Argentine sought a new scoring system that reward offensive football, what punish defeats and that gives relevance to ties based on how many goals are produced.
The idea, reward offensive football: defeats subtract one point and draws add up depending on how many goals are produced
In this way, his proposal contemplates awarding, as before, with three points victory. The first novelty comes with the punishment of defeats, which would go from leaving zero points in the teams' locker to subtract one for each game lost.
The ties They would be reflected in the classification based on the goals scored by one and the other team. Thus a 0-0 would not add nor would it subtract anything from the teams in the running. The 1-1 would give 0.5 points to each rival, the 2-2, one point to each team, the 3-3 one and a half and from there, any matched four or more goals would award 2 points to each team.
Applied to LaLiga 2020-21, Real would continue to lead, Sevilla would unseat Cádiz from Europe and Levante, Huesca and Celta would continue to decline
Applied this system to the current classification of LaLiga Santander I would not modify the table much current, beyond the fact that Sevilla would snatch Cádiz its European place. Apart from this change, the team that would vary its position the most in the table would be the Athletic, what would happen from eighth to twelfth position (would drop four places), while the Barça would be the most benefited, going from the thirteenth to the tenth, winning three spots.
Levante, Huesca and Celta, in this order, they would continue to close the classification, with the Real Sociedad as leader, 2.5 points above Atleti, which today is to 3.
This is the current classification:
Position, team, Pts.
1. R. SOCIEDAD, 23
2. AT. MADRID, 20
3. VILLARREAL, 19
4. R. MADRID, 17
5. CÁDIZ, 14
6. GRANADA, 14
7. SEVILLA, 13
8. ATH. BILBAO, 12
9. VALENCIA, 12
10. ELCHE, 12
11. GETAFE, 12
12. BETIS, 12
13. BARÇA, 11
14. OSASUNA, 11
15. ALAVÉS, 10
16. EIBAR, 10
17. VALLADOLID, 9
18. LEVANTE, 7
19. HUESCA, 7
20. CELTA, 7
Y so it would be applying the criteria set by the ‘Mono’ Burgos:
Position, team, Pts. / Dif. Classi / Dif. Pts.
1. R. SOCIETY, 20.5 / 0 / -2.5
2. AT. MADRID, 18/0 / -2
3. VILLARREAL, 15/0 / -4
4. R. MADRID, 13.5 / 0 / -3.5
5. GRANADA, 10 / -1 / -4
6. SEVILLA, 9.5 / -1 / -3.5
7. CADIZ, 8.5 / +2 / -5.5
8. ELCHE, 8 / -2 / -4
9. VALENCIA, 7.5 / 0 / -4.5
10. BARÇA, 7 / -3 / -4
11. GETAFE, 7/0 / -5
12. ATH. BILBAO, 7 / +4 / -5
13. BETIS, 6 / +1 / -6
14. OSASUNA, 5.5 / 0 / -5.5
15. ALAVÉS, 4/0 / -6
16. VALLADOLID, 3 / -1 / -6
17. EIBAR, 2.5 / +1 / -7.5
18. LEVANTE, 1/0 / -6
19. HUESCA, 0/0 / -7
20. CELTA, -0.5 / 0 / -7.5
