Model 'deep', fitted through 6 September 2026
Reading the ratings
Both numbers are on the log scale the model works in.
Attack higher = scores more. Defence lower = concedes
fewer, so a negative defence rating is a good thing.
Net is attack minus defence and ranks overall strength.
Ratings are fitted per league and are not comparable across them — a Bundesliga
+0.5 and a Serie A +0.5 do not mean the same thing.
| # | Team | Attack | Defence | Net | Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |
 Atlanta Dream |
+3.515 | -1.366 | +4.881 | |
| 2 |

 Los Angeles Sparks |
+0.182 | +4.080 | -3.898 | |
| 6 |
 Connecticut Sun |
-7.860 | +0.343 | -8.203 |
Both figures are on the log scale used inside the model. Higher attack means more goals scored; lower defence means fewer conceded, so net = attack − defence ranks overall strength.
