Nip/Tuck Season 3 Episode 15: A Look Back at Arsenal's Rocky Start'

As we dive back into the world of European football, it's hard not to think about the teams that have made a dramatic turn in their fortunes so far this season. One such team is Arsenal, who have seen their projected point total rise from 61 to 68 thanks to an impressive start to the campaign. But what does this mean for the Gunners and other teams across Europe's Big Five leagues?

Using the Soccer Power Index (SPI) as our guide, we've identified the teams that have seen the most significant changes in their projected point totals over the first two to three matchdays of the season. And it turns out, Arsenal isn't the only team that has experienced a notable shift.

For instance, Bayer Leverkusen has also made significant strides, while Leeds United's early struggles could be a harbinger of things to come. The thing is, though, no matter how well or poorly a team performs in those initial matches, there's no guarantee this form will continue throughout the season.

This sentiment is echoed by the Amazon All or Nothing series on Arsenal's 2021-22 season, which premiered this month. The show serves as a timely reminder of two important points: firstly, that early-season performances aren't always indicative of what's to come; and secondly, that those initial matches can have a profound impact on where your season ultimately ends up.

Arsenal, in particular, is a great example of this phenomenon. After a dismal start to last season, which saw them drop three consecutive matches by a combined score of 9-0, the Gunners struggled to recover. They eventually finished just two points short of a top-four finish and missed out on Champions League qualification for the fifth consecutive year.

The All or Nothing series provides a fascinating insight into Arsenal's tumultuous campaign, highlighting the importance of early-season form in determining where your season ultimately ends up. So, as we look ahead to the rest of the 2022-23 season, it's clear that there are many more twists and turns still to come for teams across Europe.
