Man City might not be at the top of the Premier League but they are currently leading the way in Qatar…
Here’s how it works: each player is allocated the points won by their nation – but only those from games in which they’ve played. Those points are totted up, giving each club their running total.
If Cristiano Ronaldo was still a Manchester United player, they would be within a point of City. But he’s not, so they aren’t. Brighton have broken the Big Six, with Liverpool trailing the Seagulls.
