[Albion] To Avoid De Zerbi Bashing - The Staying Up/Europe Tracker - season 2023-24 - FINAL Update - 8 OVER

[Albion my Albion]

With that long a thread title could the OP have included "RDZ Shake It All About" in Italian? It doesn't seem complete without it.

RDZ scuote tutto su.

Two points dropped. Back to 7 over relegation, 7 under Europe. Bang in the middle.

Basically we need to be beating the top teams now to make up for not beating the lower teams at home.

Next week is a good bonus opportunity though.

And relax. puts the prospective back on our season so far.

We’re staying up!

Around a 60% chance top 8 gets europe.

8th currently projected to get around 58 points not 60 however newcastle and chelsea have super easy run ins. Think 59 will do it but not sure where we will get 17 points from (brentford, burnley, bournemouth are musts, and beating Chelsea, Man U, and two points from the rest). At least Pedro is back.

The betting markets forecast we’ll finish 10th.

Still 7 ahead, but 8 behind Europe. Plenty of bonus points up for grabs starting at Liverpool.

11th/12th. Very interesting at the bottom but currently predicting Brentford for the drop. Every bit as tight at the top but Arsenal's to lose.

Stunning end to the season to get anywhere close to last seasons finish. It's possible though.

We just need a bonus win for Brentford to put Palace FIRMLY in the relegation mix.

I'm sure we can arrange that on 3rd April.

In terms of 8th getting Europe, isn't our best bet to settle for a 1-0 win Thursday to earn some coefficient points, rather than go hell for leather and not win?

Must admit I had the same thought!

That's very realistic. . . . .and would represent a good season, all things considered.

Pre season I predicted 10th and thought with knockout stages EL that’d be a good Albion season.

Let’s see what happens in the PL.

Good shout

Quick update after a few weekend games. Brentford the big losers, Forest (subject to FFP penalty) feeling more comfortable. Little changed for us, other than Fulham getting closer to edging us into 13th

 

[Giraffe]

Worth noting we have 7 (SEVEN) free hits left where expected return is 0 points from a match. Of the other teams the maximum anyone else has is 5. In tracker terms that should mean (assuming we get some bonus) that we move higher. The others are more likely to drop points against their expected returns.

Think the snag we may have is that we have three games against the title contenders, while West Ham and United only have two. Hopefully West Ham's European schedule will slow them in the league a bit

Liverpool are a busted flush, City are over rated, Arsenal are bottle jobs and finally we owe United a punch below the belt....

Job's a good un, easy 12points

I'm not certain that's the worst thing.

We are very poor against sides who choose not to take risks against us. The title contenders will HAVE to take risks to ensure a win.

I think we're in for a whole load of very spicy games coming up.
