robosky02:At the bolded Head to Head, Weighted PPG will put Enyimba ahead but that's just how LMC wants to scam them because goal difference coefficient should have been considered before head to head and Wppg Modified Goal difference coefficient is Goal difference/Games played to make it even since the league wasn't completed |

I have not followed the Nigerian premier league for some years now, so i may not be in a good position to know for a fact if Rivers United has a case. But they did the right thing by taking their case to FIFA. |

Since they have started cancelling things, they should cancel the league table as well. They should have expected this kind of thing when they voted to abort the league. Even South Africa with the highest COVID19 deaths in Africa is completing their league matches. Why can't Nigeria finish the matches? |

Ajibel: If your argument holds water then the league should be completed else the right table standing should be maintained... It doesn't matter if you are having 20games in hand, ur games not played doesn't affect your position on the table that's the football rule and it's sacrosanct. 1 Like |

Edopesin: Even if you use Goals Coefficient. Enyimba would be in second position. Do your maths well Enyimba scored 30 goals in 20 games that'll give you a coefficient of 1.5 . Rivers United scored 28 goals in 25 game's that'll give you a coefficient of 1.12. The Rivers people are even confused. they don't even know what they are fighting for. they'd lose at CAS if they are foolish enough to go to that extent. |

Edopesin:Even if they use goal coefficient, Enyimba would still be ahead. Rivers UtD appeal makes no sense. . If they are championing for direct goal difference, then they foolish, because all teams didn't play same number of games 1 Like |

idahme: The right table standing would have been used if there were no outstanding games or if those games won't affect the placement of our continental representatives. What should have been done was to conclude the league season behind closed doors 1 Like |

SlyCharlie: You're not doing the maths correctly It is the goal difference/ matches played not the other way around Plateau have 0.52 which is 0.02 more than Enyimba's 0.50 Plateau are fighting because of this, the LMC used head to head after PPG which shouldn't have been the case because after points, goal difference is next in line to determine position Modified |

chaloskyx:Enyimba still has 5 outstanding matches of which they are playing at home in 3 of those encounter. Okay what if enyimba should get all maximum points in those remaining encounter, don't u think they are league winners considering the form then? . Even that rules is nt in favour of enyimba if that be the case because they got every opportunity of winning the league in their hands if they had won 4 out of the remaining 5. 2 Likes |

Edopesin:What are you even saying... Firstly the fight is between Rivers United and Enyimba, not Platue United. Secondly, if (goals scored/matches) played, then Enyimba still qualifies ahead of Rivers United. For Enyimba Goals Scored = 30 Matches Played = 20. Goals scored/Matches played = 30/20= 1.5 . For Rivers United. Goals Scored = 28 Matches Played = 25 Goals scored/Matches Played = 28/25= 1.12 1.5 > 1.12 hence Enyimba still qualify. Whatever Parameter you use be it PPG with(Head to Head), Goals Coefficient or WPPG, Enyimba will still be ahead of Rivers United. The only glimmer of hope Rivers United may have, is the Original Goals difference where Rivers United has +13 while Enyimba has +10. But using Goals difference won't make sense since the teams in question didn't play the same number of games i.e Enyimba played five games less. 2 Likes |

What the LMC used in determining the teams that will represent the country in the caf competitions is known as points per game (PPG), due to the fact that some teams played more games than others before the league got suspended due to Covid 19. The formula for the PPG is Points divided by number of games played and Goals divided by number of games played. Now Rivers united had 45 points, with 25 games played, while Enyimba had 36 points, with 20 games played. So Rivers utd PPG is 45 ÷ 25 = 1.8 Enyimba PPG is 36 ÷ 20 = 1.8. So they are tired on the PPG for points. Now let us check for the PPG for goals Rivers had +13 goals, while Enyimba had +10 goals before the league was suspended. Rivers utd PPG for goals is 13÷25 = 0.52 Enyimba PPG for goals is 10÷20 = 0.5 So to me, Rivers united should be the team representing Nigeria in the caf champions league and not Enyimba. 1 Like |

SlyCharlie: You are only trying too hard to justify it It is Goal difference/Matches played not Matched That is what my initial comment said, you cannot use just goal scored to determine position, you should know this When two teams are tied on the same point, goal difference will be use to determine position Now Since the league wasn't completed, the points per game (PPG) was used to even things out, when teams are tied on the same PPG, you are supposed to use goal difference per game to also even things out This is what Rivers are fighting for 1 Like |

Ajibel: Ajibel and surprise you are saying this We are not talking of envy here Enyimba is clearly Nigeria's most successful team I agree. But at this point in time Rivers are in form and are clearly ahead. Its like saying the in England the FA semi finals game should be given to man city without playing. Whereas Arsenal were in form for the day and won it. They even went ahead to beat Chelsea So why bent the rule that's my point 2 Likes |
