How many points will be needed to win the league? (74 GD)

[cleavers]

Only 1 team currently above 2 points per game, liverpool, villa could be on it if they win their game in hand (against us), we were at <1.5 not long ago, as it stands tonight top 10 is....

liverpool - 2.13333 = 81 points.
everton - 1.93333
united - 1.9285
villa - 1.92307
leicester - 1.86666
City - 1.85714
spurs - 1.73333
chelsea - 1.66666
southampton - 1.666666
west ham - 1.466666

Liverpool can still get 101 and ourselves 98

I reckon we'll win the league with 89 as results are now starting to go back to normal

Jesus and Aguero are back to full fitness in a week and our defence is solid

 

[HarrytheBlue]

I don't care what the likely points required to win the Prem is - we're well capable of getting whatever's required.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

I know this is being unrealistic and greedy, but imagine Sterling had scored one on ones against Leeds and West Ham and De Bruyne had put away that penalty against Liverpool
And Gundogan or Sterling scored one of those headers against West Brom

we aren’t far away and have left some points behind us so far this season

 

[cleavers]

but imagine

Yeah but we have reality, and imagination is just that.

You think well only drop 9 points between now and the end of the season.
The way results are going for all teams we could drop 9 by the end of January

 

[Blue Theatre]

Liverpool currently averaging 81 pts, and City almost 71. Both will expect / probably improve from here, so the winner is likely to come from whichever of us can get to 85 or more.

Can't see anyone else winning it, despite strong-ish starts from half-a-dozen others. Unless covid + injuries really pile up for City & Liverpool, and both get distracted by a long run in the Champions League.

 

[Mr Partridge]

The dippers will crumble under any sort of pressure, you only have to look at how agitated Klopp is getting in almost every interview to see he simply couldn't handle a proper title race right now, if we can string 5 to 6 wins together that puts us as favourites. I'm still not really convinced we're capable of that though.

Would love to be proved wrong.

 

[the blue panther]

Just Liverpool worried about with salah and mane plus the fair referees they they could get 90+ points hopefully they’ll tail of.

Another 2 points gone - surprisingly - last night v WBA. Many more slips to come, I reckon - and we now have the better defence.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Dunno if it will win the league but I’ll be proud if we get 85.

Yip
I don't believe we'll get beaten more than once in the prem again, if at all

 

[daflanger]

I think there will be many more points dropped this season.

15 games in Liverpool have 32 points so on the average that is 2.13 per game. With 23 games remaining at this average they will reach 81 points. So I don't any team going above 81 points.

I vote for 80 to 81 points as a maximum but I predict 76 points

no 85

 

[Mancity1980]

15 points cover the first 15 places after 15 games. So, if that precedent continues only 38 points will cover those positions at the end of the season you are looking at around 80 points for the title.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

The Dippers are top , can we go for null & void

That’s a bit harsh, oh you mean the title being null & void...

Not now after these new Covid cases
We were finding our form and now, whenever it is, have to find our rhythm again. That is if this season's football returns at all!!

 

[bellsouth]

Is it true that final positions could be decided by points per game if they need to cancel it? Is there a minimum number of games that need to be played first?

 

[jayblue]

One more than yoonited by the looks of things. Lucky c@#ts

 

[cleavers]

35 is now my guess.
