How many points will we have at the end of this season ?

[FCBurnley]

So the season will be completed behind closed doors but what will our final points total be ? Lots of unknown factors for sure. No crowds. Players going out of contract. Player fitness levels of all teams ? In case you have forgotten we currently have 39 points from 29 games and sit in 10th place.

Our remaining fixture are
Man City A
Watford H
Palace A
Sheff U H
West Ham A
Liverpool A
Wolves H
Norwich A
Brighton H

No easy away games but certainly a few winnable home games

My final points guesstimate is 52 but 50 would be very acceptable

[Bosscat]

50 would be a good return ... 3 wins and at least one draw ... very achievable

[fanzone]

73

[FactualFrank]

Certainly 3-4 winnable games, although we'll probably pick up points from games you wouldn't expect. 9-12 points is doable, putting us on 48-51.

[FCBurnley]

Watford finished 11th last season with 50 points. 52 points got a top 10 finish

[Spijed]

How many would we need to get into the Europa league in 7th.

8th if Man City get kicked out of Europe.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Stepping into the unknown. The mental effects of the virus could make top players average thus making average players look like world beaters.
Because of this we should be putting everything into a push for European Football. if there is such a thing next year?

[ten bellies]

Man City A 0
Watford H 3
Palace A 1
Sheff U H 1
West Ham A 3
Liverpool A 0
Wolves H 1
Norwich A 3
Brighton H 3

15 points would not be unreasonable.

[tiger76]

Trying to be realistic

Man City A-0
Watford H-3
Palace A-1
Sheff U H-1
West Ham A-0
Liverpool A-0
Wolves H-3
Norwich A-1
Brighton H-3

Even that average run brings us 12 points, taking us up to 51, so i'd definitely say 50 is a fair target to aim for, depends whether we clock off early or not, but the break should help us more than some teams, although our head of steam has been lost.

[ElectroClaret]

48.

[JohnMac]

47

[FCBurnley]

This is much better than talking about Covid death rates

[exilecanada]

48 maximum, plenty to keep our PL status and not mess with Europa League nonsense. We all know PL status is 'job one' with our club, and rightly so.

[Vegas Claret]

I don't care as long as we relegate Brighton

[claretonthecoast1882]

Our remaining fixture are
Man City A - 0
Watford H - 3
Palace A - 1
Sheff U H - 3
West Ham A - 1
Liverpool A - 0
Wolves H - 1
Norwich A - 3
Brighton H - 3

Take out the Man city and Liverpool games that's 7 winnable games, 21 points to play for

I don't disagree, but we're also playing teams scrapping for their lives Watford, West Ham, Norwich, Brighton, and teams like us that might fancy their chances of a European spot Sheff U & Wolves and at a push Palace if they hit form on the restart, and our form down the stretch the last couple of seasons hasn't been the best, we tend to finish poorly. However the enforced break might well have given us the rest required to come out firing and hungry. I wouldn't completely write off our chances of taking something from the Etihad or Anfield, but anything from those fixtures would be regarded as a bonus in all honesty.

[ClaretTony]

I wouldn't like to pinpoint an exact figure but I reckon somewhere between 39 and 66

[mdd2]

Very brave Tony; are you sure we won't have any points deducted for having the audacity to beat Man U in their theatre of dreams and (for one night only) nightmare.

[FCBurnley]

Interesting to look back. Most predicted high 40’s to low fifties except of course CT who bottled it

[FactualFrank]

I went for 48-51, so we did better than I expected.

[huw.Y.WattfromWare]

Errrrrrrr!! 57

[ElectroClaret]

Let's face it, we've exceeded all expectations.
FWIW, I said 46/47.

[ClaretTony]

I wouldn't like to pinpoint an exact figure but I reckon somewhere between 39 and 66

It seems I was very accurate - but if I'm being truthful, I thought we'd be close to 50 but never thought we'd make 54.

[IanMcL]

....or even 57!

[Dinks]

57...Brighton aint stopping us.
