Analysis of each team's “footprint” over a season

I’ve been pushing a fair few complex stats this season, so for a change of pace I thought I’d take a look at something much simpler. As part of PA’s coverage of Leicester’s title-winning season I built a tool which takes a list of results for a given division and tells you how the league table looked at the end of each day, so I thought it would be interesting to run it on the Football League and National League.
I’ve stuck the results in a simple matrix for each division, along with a few illustrative observations. These work as follows:

• The clubs are listed down the side, in the order they finished in the final league table
• Each row shows how many days that club spent in each league position
• The season is considered to run from the date of the first match of the season to the date of the last and excludes the play-offs
• I’ve used lines in both directions to indicate the automatic promotion places, the play-off zone, the division between top and bottom half and finally the relegation zone
• There are also fainter outlines around each club’s final league position
