Newcastle United · Greatest Ever
Two legends. One pick. Head-to-head matchups decide the greatest Magpie of all time — and the ranking updates live with every vote.
Every player starts on the same score: 1500. When you pick one in a head-to-head, points move from the loser to the winner.
The clever bit: the size of the swing depends on the matchup. If a clear favourite wins, only a couple of points move. If a lower- rated player pulls off an upset, lots of points move. So an upset counts more than a routine win — and the rating self-corrects over time as more votes arrive.
After enough votes, the leaderboard settles into a stable order that reflects the collective opinion of everyone who's voted, not just who showed up the most.
Live — every vote, from any device, updates the global ranking in real time.
