I suppose these days the weight would be related to wage bill

and transfer spend, on the basis that in theory more spend should get you better players. So smart recruitment would be part of punching above your weight.

So Brighton still punching well above. And Brentford.

In Champ terms, we're punching well below our weight right now.
