What's up, folks? In football, money doesn't play, but it pays those who do. So let's do the maths that nobody does: how many points does each LaLiga Hypermotion team get per million euros of salary cap. Who stretches the euro like chewing gum and who throws it out the window. And the best bit: this table updates itself with the live standings, matchday by matchday, all season long.
Right now (after matchday 7): UD Almería is the most efficient club, with 3.78 points per million euros. Albacete Balompié is the least efficient, with 0.12. Sporting sits 11th in efficiency (0.75 pts/M€): 7th in budget, 12th in the table.

Updated automatically with the live LaLiga Hypermotion table. «Table / budget»: league position vs salary-cap ranking; ▲ = performing above their budget.
Points per million is your efficiency grade: the higher it is, the more bang for buck the club gets. Cost per point is the flip side: how much salary cap «costs» each club per point earned. And that last column? That's the juicy bit: it compares each club's real league position to where they sit by money. A big green arrow means a team working magic; a big red one, a club not delivering what it's costing.
Early season with few matchdays played, the differences are massive: a couple of wins from a modest team rocket their efficiency through the roof. As the league rolls on, this table will settle down and you'll see who's got the staying power and who was just passing through.
It helps, but it's not everything. In our club-by-club salary cap analysis we simulated 20,000 seasons where only money mattered, and Girona and Mallorca went up seven times in ten. This table's the other side of the coin: what actually happens on the pitch when the ball starts rolling. And the full standings, always up to date, are in the LaLiga Hypermotion 26/27 hub.
Who do you reckon is working miracles and who's throwing money down the drain? Drop it in the comments. ¡Puxa Sporting! 🔴⚪
It is the team that earns the most points per each million euros of salary limit. The table in this article updates automatically with the live standings. After matchday 7 of 2026/27, Almería led with the lowest limit in the category (3.97 million) and 15 points: 3.78 points per million.
By dividing each club's league points by their official LaLiga salary limit for 2026/27, in millions of euros. The cost per point is the inverse operation: salary limit divided by points.
Because reserve teams do not have their own salary limit: LaLiga includes it in that of their first team.
