Possibly. I'm not sure how the play-off round will be drawn but the teams finishing 9th - 16th will have some sort of advantage over those finishing 17th - 24th.

Brighton's loss to Athens single handedly cratered City's rating by 8 pointsBest (most dominant) teams of all time. Our rating is now so high that it’s difficult to earn more than 2 elo points for a win, a draw would drop us by about 8 points and a defeat would be about a 15 point drop. Only PL and European matches count. We can also win/lose points from how other PL clubs fair in Europe (about 27% of their match total elo points) Can we catch any of the top three before our run ends? Beating Forest, Wolves and Leipzig would probably get us 3rd.

p.s. Pep looks to be the difference. He can’t leave until we are No 1….it’s only fair or he has short changed us ;-)
p.p.s We would be third now had we avoided defeat to Brentford and second had we beaten them.

Brighton and Villa lost a combined 30 Elo points for their performances last night and so 9 points were also passed onto us and everyone else in the PL as part of being in the PL recalibration. So Brighton had help from Villa.
It’s been a while since we took a hit like that. Probably down to little European experience with those two teams.
It works both ways and we could do with the PL teams improving from a rating point of view.

We have now equalled our best ever start to a Premier League season by winning our first 6 games.
Chelsea hold the record with 9 wins at the start of the 2005/06 season.

I prefer it when we don't start well and I write off the season by November/December. :)

Next 4 PL games; Wolves (A), Arsenal (A), Brighton (H) and utd (A). Can we break the record. The trip to Arsenal without Rodri will be tricky.

Obviously it will, but we might have Kovacic (remember him), Bernardo, and Stones back by then, all significant to help replace Rodri, lets not panic yet, and they might lose to spurs tomorrow (though a draw would be better in both cases).
It would be great to have Stones back for Arsenal but it seems very unlikely... Last time he played was community shield and there has been no news about even returning to training...
