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

[ancoats]

This cant be right

your right

they can only get 88 my bad hahahaha

 

[ancoats]

Everton can only get 88 if they win every game. They are 16 points behind us, not sure how you think they have the same maximum as us!!??

yep got it mixed up looking at the table ?? its tuff at the top

15 games to go for us. We can get to 98 pts, Liverpool can get to 82 pts, utd to 90 pts and Leicester to 88 (I'm ruling out anyone else). Mid-high 80s ought to be enough. Can't see utd winning their last 15 games. Liverpool would have a job winning an argument at the moment. Leicester might do well to get up to 80 pts.

I still believe Leicester are our main threat

Me too. They are far and away the best of the rest for me. Doesn't mean they will finish second, I doubt they'll get the same, ahem luck as the scum.

Neither Leicester or Manure will reach 80 points this season.

 

[cleavers]

After we lost to Spurs we were 13th, had a -1 Goal Difference and were on course for a 57 point season off PPG

Nobody wins or loses the league on November 8th fortunately.

Leicester are a big threat ...there wont be many teams that take points off them.....
Utd will continue to somehow grind out results no matter how average they play.

If they keep it up when the Europa starts I’ll be surprised they will have to win every game to win the title an we would have to lose 3 and a couple of draws.

another game to cross of the list and 3 more points. with 15 games to go and on 53 points city can still get 98 points
i think until the rest fall away and can no longer catch city. the points total aim should be maximum and the full 98 points

funny enough everton can still get 98 points and is our next game in mid week. but i doubt everton will get 98 ?
yes a good team but the squad is thin and some big games coming up. injury hit this weekend for the game vs fulham
so let see if jose moaning about how tired spurs was today everton should be at walking pace

Everton can still get 98?

I said this last week, Leicester and united play before we play united on March 6th.

IF we can win through until then, the cards could fall in our favour to end the challenges by then. But we must win through this month.

It's been a another day, pal. Lololol

What I mean is that they will come closest to us

 

[lasereyes]

i still think pep will keep the players going if we have won the title with 4 or 5 to go its the only way pep thinks

For sure he will, but there will definitely be rotation if we are still in the CL.

 

[Saddleworth2]

you have to set the total based on the rest can reach ? united can get 90 points so 91 for me

They can but they wont.
by that argument we can get 98 so that is the answer.
84 will do it.

 

[mccity]

Leicester are a bit prone to dropping silly points from time to time. Our form would really have to dip for them to be an issue.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

The only teams that can still get 80+ points:

City 98
United 90
Leicester 88
Everton 88
Chelsea 84
Villa 84
West Ham 84
Liverpool 82
Tottenham 81
Leeds 80

We can probably rule out 6 of them getting 80, I don't think any more than 1 will.

Yeah, I would say only United and Leicester have a chance but even that's looking unlikely.

Unless something disastrous happens I think we'll get 90, and united won't get close if we don't lose at home to them.

Yep we can pretty much end their title challenge if we avoid defeat, same with Leicester. We play them both in our next six fixtures I believe.
