11 games to go - how many points needed?

11 Games left. what do we think we will need points wise to finish top 4. we have a tricky few games coming up.

If we beat United I reckon 26. If we don't I reckon we might need about 29.

Could be a record pts total for 4th this year.

Let's aim for 36 and see where that leaves us at the end of May.

How come we have to play an extra game?

Ssshhhhhh don't let everyone know, we might just need those extra points

Yep.

At our current PPG we're on to pick up another 27/28 points.
Reckon that will be enough to secure 3rd.

Liverpool currently on 11 games unbeaten in the league.
The best this season? Chelsea with 14.

Man Utd and Arsenal games will be pivotal.
Whoever wins those games will probably take 3rd/4th places.

Arsenal away is always quite a tricky game for us and seem to go to pot at their place so at the moment I'd take a draw if it keeps us on course. I firmly believe we will take the scum to town though with a trouncing. A key factor that will come into play is not only points but GD. When we do win it'd be nice to get a goal or two extra just to try and close the gap on those above us.

Posted this in the Top 4 thread.

I'm going for 5/5 home wins - Burnley, M Utd, N Utd, QPR, Palace
The 6 away games are tough I should say, particularly the last 3 - Swansea, Arsenal, Hull, West Brom, Chelsea, Stoke - I'm going for WDWWLW

Thats 76 points!

There has been a trend in recent years towards a higher points total requirement to finish in the top four.  Whereas in the mid 2000's to 2012 you could land 4th with a points total in the high 60's the last two years you will have needed 73 points.

I can see it being pushed higher again this season.

I can easily seeing the top 6 finishing above 70 points this season.

33 points for the title
28 for 2nd spot
22-23 for top 4

Thats deluded really. City will get 21 points from 11 games and Chelsea will easily do the same in 12. Heck, they'll do much more.

28 points (9W, 1D, 1L) puts us on 76 which is what we might need to get to 4th.

Do we win a prize? Put me down for 2 points per game = 70 total.

not sure about deluded - did you listen the latest Anfield Wrap?

it got feeling all tingley....

Vicks your crystal balls arent as nice as mine then

With so many games between top 6 clubs still to go, its mathematically imposibble that more than 75 points will be needed for top 4. 72 tops

More wishfull thinking with Chelsea on my part but a heavy schedule is waiting for them and they WILL drop points. City are stagnating.

33 Points and we'll discuss anything else later.

its doable

We're on a run, we have that fear  factor back, we've just torn the champions a new one, previous to that we have beaten those sides that sat above us, we narrowly lost a semi final to the champs elect and we are yet to hit our peak ,

We are at home in 4 of the next 5 games further extending our run, our only sticky matches for me are Arse away and them CHAVVY bas**rds away, everyone else I believe we will conquer,

Like I said we are just hitting peak form imo, we are down to one match per week after Burnley,and look at how much we benefitted without midweek footie last season,

We have players returning from injury, by the end of March we should have a fully fit squad to utilise, with the momentum built up from January and the players used to the system there is absolutely no reason we CAN'T go all the way and remain unbeaten,

33points, would that get us 3rd ?


YNWA

i would take 21 now with a loss to rent boys and Arsenal away as the only and a draw away to Swansea

Do you also have Wednesday night's lottery numbers?

  The thread asks "how many points needed" and I just said 76 is what we "might need"
