Highest a team can finish

I am saw I saw a link on here to a site that showed the highest and lowest a team can finish.

Does anyone have the link still?

Cheers

Does this take fixtures into account? Hard to believe that Palace could still finish 20th

I think that 20th place scenario for Palace assumes that lose all their remaining matches and everyone else (behind them) wins all their remaining matches.

But that can't happen because some of them are playing each other

Notice the emphasis on the word think in my last post.

Crystal Palace can not finish 20th now, because Cardiff and Sunderland have to win every game to finish above Crystal Palace, but Cardiff still have to play Sunderland.

Nevertheless it is still a useful guide to use.

I think they can, but only in an otherworldly scenario. Effectively they are are well clear, baring the truly bizare happening (top teams giving points to all the lower teams etc)

EG Sunderland can finish on 41, and any team above them can finish on 41 or higher, so that could in a crazy string of results mean Palace go down. Its not going to happen though, same as Everton winning the league.

Acc to that Liverpool can still finish outside the top 4 could ya imagine

Although it's actually impossible surely, given City play Everton yet?

As the fixtures are played the possible combinations of results will shrink massively and accordingly after the next round of fixtures I suspect there will be a fair degree of tightening in those possible finishes. When there are 5 games left the highest and lowest finishes are informed more by results elsewhere than your own, given you could be slated for a highest of 6th with 5 wins but results elsewhere result in it being more probably somewhere like 9th.

Couldn't have put it less simply had I tried

I had to laugh at the Sunderland finishing 11th stat!

Yeah obviously this is impossible too.

As is Everton finishing first.

It's misleading so I don't see point in it myself tbh

Leicester- highest finish: 1st, Lowest finish: 2nd

If Everton and Arsenal win all their matches and Liverpool lose all their matches.

City can afford to drop those 3 points against Everton and still make up 7 points on Liverpool from their other 4 matches.

Indeed

Not to be negative or any of that (;p) but it's so pointless, right now. In my opinion and all that of course. Like Liverpool losing all their games is frankly never ever gonna happen lets be honest. Neither is Palace coming bloody 20th!!! Or Sunderland coming 11th, Everton 1st!

So I don't see how it has any use, with a bit to go in season. It's not one bit realistic.

I'd say it could well prove handy though when there's about 2 matches left in fairness. Will def keep an eye out for it then

Astonishing to think Southampton can still finish 15th, Sunderland 11th and Man Utd 3rd, assuming they can as it didn't look convincing to me at a quick glance.

It can't be right as it shows we can finish higher or lower than 4th. That in itself shows it's not all it's cracked up to be.

It'll only be handy with about 2 games to go imo, when you're looking at all sorts of permutations! Right now, it's silly (e.g Liverpool coming 5th!!!)

Hey there!
