Really? We, are on 45 with 7 games to go. So the only way secure exactly 11 points from 7 games is W3D2L2 or W2D5L0. As we've only drawn 3 games so far this season, I can't see us drawing that many.dunboyne white wrote:A little bump for this thread is required, I think. The 3 points today are a total bonus so my 53 becomes 56.
Getting very confident of the top half finish too.
We have 4 games to teams in the bottom 7. Win those and we are on 57. If we get anything from the remaining top 7 games we could be on 60. I would say at the bare minimum is getting 3 wins from the lower teams, putting us on 54, but do think we will again finish strong - no covid break coming to the rescue this time. So 58-60 points as we'll get something from either the Liverpool or Spurs game, whether it be a win or an elusive draw.
There is also the where we will finish. We might possibly catch Everton, but probably unlikely and I think it will be 9th-11th depending on whether we can keep above Villa and Arsenal. Not sure about Arsenal as they have all the bottom 5 to play, who they haven't dropped points, so that possibly puts them on 57, and if they get something from Palace could be on 60. Villa have a much harder run in, with 6 games against top 8 sides including Everton twice. So maybe they'll get 9 points, and so we could well finish above them.
As a note. Sure the totals in my text differ from that in the chart. The chart is basically dividing the table into three and using the PPG for each section to predict likely points for remaining games.
