- The proposed index weights performance versus expectations at 40%; the page says these are criteria, not verified rankings.
Field notes
The page names six leagues, from the Premier League to Portugal's Primeira Liga, and splits its proposed index across four weighted criteria. Its nomination control asks visitors to choose a league and explain a player, manager, or club's case, then prepares an email. The site says public voting and stored submissions belong to a later release, so the visible page is a preview rather than a functioning public ballot.
