    Ok, but all of this is arbitrary. A home grown player costs more than a foreign player. Premier league clubs offer the higher wages because they are richer. It doesn't consider performance in European competition (UEFA rank the French League 5th).

    I tried to include the European performance, but that only tells you anything about the top 2 or 3 clubs in a league, which are often huge outliers compared to the rest of the league, so it wasn't very helpful.
    As it happens, my system also makes the French league the 5th strongest.
