Built Different Index

The Midnite Built Different Index

The Built Different Index is football’s alternative league table: a ranking of all 92 Premier League and EFL clubs based on the things that make supporting them feel unusual, demanding or completely unhinged.

Is the Built Different Index an official measure of footballing greatness? Absolutely not. We made it up. But it does put numbers around the strange, inconvenient and genuinely brilliant things that make every club feel different... which is arguably more interesting than another table telling you Manchester City win a lot.


The Categories

We created nine individual categories that we feel makes a club Built Different. From battle the weather to knowing every motorway service station between Plymouth and Huddersfield, these are the things that fans up and down the country experience every week.

Home Capacity UtilisationWho fills the ground every week, and who leaves a suspicious amount of elbow room?

Average Squad AgeThe youngest squads, the oldest squads and everyone in between.
Average WindspeedWhere crosses become guesswork and corner flags spend 90 minutes fighting for their lives.
Rainfall vs Win PercentageWhich clubs do their best work when the weather has already ruined everyone’s afternoon?
Managerial Merry-Go-RoundFive seasons of appointments, departures and caretakers wondering where the kettle is.
The TravellerShortest trip, longest trip and total mileage rolled into one giant service-station receipt.
The Twelfth ManCapacity utilisation and local support combined to find the crowds that really take over.
