Net wins is the sum of win-probability added (WPA) across graded decisions; 1.00 is about one win. Grades are relative to the league: A ≥ +1 SD, B ≥ +0.33 SD, C within ±0.33 SD, D > −1 SD, F ≤ −1 SD. "Mixed" means the club changed managers mid-season, so the row combines more than one manager. Full method.
