35 will probably not be enough
You may be right and by looking at the pts per game over the last 5 games and predicting the same points per game over the remaining games gives you the following;
- Screenshot 2021-03-13 at 22.15.09.png (92.79 KiB) Viewed 2919 times
Southampton - 0.8pts per game (1.17 Season To Date PPG Average) - 10 games left - further 8pts predicted = 41pts
Burnley - 1.2pts per game (1.14 Season To Date PPG Average) - 9 games left = 11pts predicted = 44pts
Newcastle - 0.6pts per game (1 Season To Date PPG Average) - 10 games left = 6pts predicted = 34pts
Brighton - 0.4pts per game ( 0.96 Season To Date PPG Average) - 11 games left = 5pts predicted = 31pts
Fulham - 1.4pts per game - (0.89 Season To Date PPG Average) 9 games left = 13pts predicted = 39pts
WBA - 1pt per game (0.62 Season To Date PPG Average) - 9 games left = 9pts predicted = 27pts
Sheff Utd - 0.6pts per game (0.5 Season To Date PPG Average) - 10 games left = 6pts predicted = 20pts.
I appreciate that the difficulty of fixtures hasn't been considered but what I predict is that providing Fulham don't lose their heads after today's loss, they are in a great position to drop Brighton into the relegation zone and keep Newcastle on their toes.
Interestingly, we are probably the only team in that group who are showing consistency to the longer Season To Date PPG average which I think shows that we have the stamina/ability within the squad to see the season out.
