[Albion] Europa Calculator. 9 pts needed.

[Flash Walker]

So if my Maths is correct, 10 more points guarantees us Europe- no matter results elsewhere. In reality, barring an unlikely change in GD, 9 pts will do it.

I'm happy to upload/attach the spreadsheet if you want to do your own predictions/calculations- if someone can tell me how to do it.

I thought I'd read it is only 8 as Spurs and Villa have to play each other

Isn't that taken into account on the spreadsheet?

They can draw so:
We will need (at most) 9 points for Europa Conference League.

And if either team wins in that game:
We will need (at most) 11 points for Europa League.

8 points would put us on 63. Villa and Spurs can both get 64 points if they draw against each other. 9 means we get to 64 and our superior goal difference means we will finish above at least one of Spurs and Villa.

They could both get 10 points each, 3 wins and a draw with each other. That puts both on 64 points. We have 55 so 9 points given our goal difference and we’re there.

That statement holds true if the result between spurs and villa is anything other than a draw.

I've come to the conclusion all we need to do is keep winning games. Anything else is an over complication.

Everton, Arsenal and Newcastle. Nine points right there.

Then it's all about catching Newcastle and Guildford for 4th.

oh stop all this speculation, not because you‘re wrong in doing it but because all the excitement is keeping me awake every night
