English Premier League 2021/22 Season


Recommended Posts



Villa doing alright. That compact shape will annoy a team without proper overlapping full-backs and Watkins is bound to draw a mistake from Fernandinho. City need to yet them out of it either in Villa's buildup or on the counter.


Well that's two.

Villa's inside forwards are starting to pick up space too.

Mind when “40 points” was a thing? Are the bottom teams in the #Barclays getting worse?

39 was enough last year, too, 11 point cushion to 18th

35 in 2019/20

36 in 2018/19

36 in 2017/18

40 in 2016/17, 6 point cushion to 18th

39 in 2015/16

38 in 2014/15

36 in 2013/14

39 in 2012/13

37 in 2011/12

So in the last 10 seasons 40 points has only been "needed" once, and even then 5 points fewer would have achieved safety. However, aiming for a minimum of 40 points would appear to be the sensible strategy.
