What is Elo?
Elo moves after every match by the gap between the expected and the actual result: an underdog's win is worth a lot, a favourite's little. The number is projected onto a 100 scale; the world ranking puts the club at #229 right now with 67.1 points. The 181 days shown are the window the provider gives.
Elo score over the window the provider gives; it moves after every match by the gap between the expected and the actual result.
