Topic: How many points do you expect in the next 5 games? 2022/2023 Edition

[StevoHimself]

Can't find a 23/24 edition

Fulham H
Sheffield United A
Crystal Palace A
Man United H
Arsenal H

11.

We'll beat Fulham, buck our away trend by beating Sheff Utd, draw away against Palace, beat United and then draw with Arsenal.

13.  Drop points in one game but probably one we least expect.

[Walshy nMe®]

Just realised after Fulham, our next 4 home games are:

United
Arsenal
Newcastle
Chelsea

Nice run of big home games coming there.

[Dull Tools]

11 points from the last 5 - 3 points Newcastle, Palace, Burnley - 1 point Arsenal, United.

Decent return and about what is expected. Maybe 1-2 more given the 3 hardest were at home.

Next 5 -

Bournemouth (A)
Chelsea (H)
Arsenal (A)
Burnley (H)
Brentford (A)

The APLT predicts 11 points which I think I would be happy with.

If we get 13 I think it’s on. They are our easiest away fixtures left apart from the Arsenal one, we need 6 from Bournemouth and Brentford.

13 points with the draw being Chelsea. I'd settle for that.
Same points for us no matter who the draw is against, but 1 point less for Arsenal if it isn't them.

So far in 5 games batches w've done:

13 points
10 points
11 points
11 points

Next batches:
21-25 - Bournemouth (a), Chelsea (H), Arsenal (a), Burnley (H), Brentford (a)
26-30 - Luton (H), Notts Forest (a) Man City (H), Everton (a), Brighton (H)
31-35 - Sheff Utd (H), Man Utd (a), Crystal Palace (H) Fulham (a) West Ham (a)
36-38 - Tottenham (H), Aston Villa (a), Wolves (H)

We just need to keep the 11 points per batch up really now and take 9 in the final 3 to hit 87 points which is looking well likely the amount required for the title this time.

Yeah, I was thinking the draw against Arsenal but as you say, 3 against them would be incredible and likely put them out of the race. Chelsea is under the floodlights, hopefully we get a performance like last night.

13 wins from 18- 8 home wins and 5 away wins gets us to 84. A couple of draws to 86. As you say, that should be enough.

So if we beat the dross we really should be very close to the title as there are 3 or 4 games in each set which we should win. Of course football often doesn’t work like that but it’s all about maintaining form and avoiding batches of injuries.

[StL-Dono]

Ugh...   I hate seeing that away to Villa in match 37. 

I think they'll be well out of the title race by then, but likely will still be a place tough to get a point.  And, from what it looks like at the new year, it's going to be a tight race until the end with every point critical.

It's a great place for it, fair chance they'll be playing for nothing (maybe we are too who knows) and it's a few days after the european semis, they'll have nothing left by then if they get that far.

What I thought would be a banana skin today turned to an easy 3 pts on the board from this batch of 5 til Brentford.

13-15 pts would be amazing. I’m buzzing for the rest of the season.

Update:

Current & remaining batches:
26-30 - Luton (H) - 3 points, Notts Forest (a) - 3 points, Man City (H), Brighton (H) Sheff Utd (H)
31-35 - Man Utd (a), Crystal Palace (H) Fulham (a) Everton (a) West Ham (a)
36-38 - Tottenham (H), Aston Villa (a), Wolves (H)

Going well so far, can we get the 15 points to give us vital breathing space?

[actwithoutwords]

3 home games ahead in this batch. 9 points would be massive. Only 8 games left after that and you're well into the run in.
