Ligue 1 Power Rankings
Two rating models, one table. ELO measures accumulated strength. Glicko-2 adds uncertainty: the RD column shows how confident the model is. The Rank Δ column reveals where the two systems disagree.

Ligue 1 ELO Progression 2026-2027
Ligue 1 Power Rankings Analysis 2026-2027
Power Rankings Overview
Monaco are the clear early leaders, unbeaten after five matches and first in both systems, with an ELO of 1586 and a Glicko-2 rating of 1849. The models agree on the top three, but not their order: ELO puts Lyon second and Paris FC third, while Glicko-2 flips them. Lyon’s two goals conceded are the league’s best defensive record, while Paris FC have also started unbeaten.
The Agreed Elite
Monaco, Lyon and Paris FC have the strongest case at the top because the models place all three in their top tier and their results back it up. Monaco’s 4 wins and 3 goals conceded make their lead feel solid, while Lyon have scored 10 and let in only 2. Paris FC are also unbeaten, with 8 goals scored and just 3 conceded, a balanced start rather than a one-sided scoring surge.
Where the Models Disagree
Toulouse is the sharpest split: ELO ranks them 14th, while Glicko-2 ranks them 10th, a four-place difference. Their Glicko-2 gain of 60.9 is much larger than their ELO gain of 17.6, suggesting Glicko-2 is responding more strongly to their recent results. Lille and Brest go the other way, each ranked three places lower by Glicko-2 than by ELO. Lille’s RD of 197 is the highest in the league, so its lower Glicko-2 standing comes with considerable uncertainty.
Form Watch
Nice have the biggest combined surge, gaining 27.8 ELO points and 153.6 Glicko-2 points, despite sitting 10th in ELO and 12th in Glicko-2. Lyon are climbing too, with gains of 24.3 and 94.4, while Auxerre added 21.2 and 102.6. Lille are the clearest slide: ELO dropped 27.8 and Glicko-2 fell 169.2. Marseille and Rennes also lost ground in both systems.
Relegation Watch
Le Havre are bottom on 2 points, with the lowest rating in both systems: 1430 in ELO and 1248 in Glicko-2. Marseille are in trouble too, with 3 points and a 17th-place ranking in both models. Troyes have 4 points and sit 16th in ELO, but Glicko-2 ranks them 13th, a more hopeful read than their place in the table suggests.
