An upward whisker depicts a won match, a downward whisker a lost one. The table remains concise and meaningful, even at a small font size. Since the sparklines use up so little space, the entire season's course can be shown for each of the teams, making for 612 results in one chart.

P = Place, GP = Games Played, W = Win, D = Draw, L = Loss, GD = Goal Difference, TP = Total Points. The lines mean: Champions League, Champions League qualification, UEFA cup; relegation.
