How the spider diagram works

Ninth in the standings at the halfway stage, 24 points represents Köln's best Hinrunde return for 15 years. Peter Stöger made some excellent summer signings following the loss of Kevin Wimmer and his side remain as difficult to beat as they were last term.

Much like last season, however, goals remain an issue, with only promoted duo SV Darmstadt 98 (17) and FC Ingolstadt 04 (11) registering fewer than Anthony Modeste and Co. (18) after 17 matches.
