No because we got points detected
Not really. Luton did well for being so underpowered, burnley and Sheffield United just sucked, and they did get docked 4 points so if you remove that, they would’ve had 36 and would’ve been 9 clear of the required 27. Hardly down to luck in my eyes
Does it mean the league as a whole is more equal
They're quite bad… and they cheated. Next season, they'll go down.
I just woke up so the way these stats are reported being confusing could be on me but:
If Forest could've stayed up with the same points in two other seasons how is their total this season the lowest ever needed to survive?
They are kinda lucky it's hard to be as bad as that joke of a club Sheffield was
Nice Shirt
I’m sad Luton dropped back down they had some really impressive results
This is why Arsenal can end the season with 16 wins 1 draw 1 loss and not win the league.
Gap between 1st and 20th is widening that's why we're getting league winners in the 90s
Forest were not the luckiest teams ever, it's just all 3 promoted teams were so bad. Their competition got 8 and 4 points knocked off them respectively and it still wasn't a competition.
The promoted sides were indeed bad, but it's not that you need 40 points to survive, it's when you reach 40 points you can be pretty assured you're safe, which is therefore not a myth and quite accurate
Its weird the huge difference of quality between clubs in PL. Here in Brasil we say that the minimum to guarantee the first division are 45 points. The relegation zone are composed by four clubs, no three, but all teams make more balanced seasons (no one reach near 90 points).
I'd say they're the unluckiest. Without the points deduction, the xG results of the entire league season suggests they'd be in upper mid-table.
THE BIELSA SHIRT!! Love it mate
Forest and Everton got a points deduction and Man City got a trophy. I'd say Man City are the luckiest team ever.
If you get under 30 points regardless of position you should be relegated
So you’re saying 40 pts does pretty much guarantee survival then? Cool
Luton deserves to stay tbh. Nottingham Forest spends so many seasons up there to always be a bare minimum trash team to this day. (Except that one glory days of theirs)
So when are they gonna penalize Man city for the 115 charge?
It's because the points needed to win is higher since Premier league is becoming a farmers league
The Gap between the Premier League and the championship is bigger than its ever been. If a mid table championship club got promoted, they’d need to yo yo up and down a few times to even have a squad capable of survival. And since promotion is so hard to achieve in the championship, i find that very unlikely teams would be able to do that. All 3 promoted clubs going down will become more and more common.
