If Leeds lose or draw tonight

RichardW said:
Absolute maximum points are: Leeds 52, West Ham 48, Spurs 46. Leeds have to play both Spurs and West Ham,
Assuming they all win their games not involving each other, for Spurs to reach 46 points (our current total) they have to beat Leeds (meaning Leeds maximum goes down to 49).
Leeds play West Ham and if it is a draw West Ham's max is 46, Leeds is 47. If West Ham win their max is 48 and Leeds is 46.

So, as I see it, without involving goal difference, the only way we are mathematically safe this weekend is if Spurs draw or get beat OR we get a point.

I haven't scrutinised every post in this thread so I apologise if this point (sic) has already been made.

Tidied ;)

No need to read the thread at all apart from simply re-read the thread title and assume Leeds draw tonight and start Leeds max at 50 instead of 52 and do what you did again working it all out and you will see that we can be safe tonight.

Wow your wrong 🤣
 
To summarise -

For SAFC to go down:
Spurs (on 34 points, maximum 46) must win all four games
AND West Ham (on 36 points, maximum 48) must get at least three wins and a draw.
AND Leeds (on 40 points, maximum 52) must beat Burnley and Brighton, lose to Spurs and not beat West Ham.

Accept your 'tidied' correction but my stats were based on Leeds, West Ham and Spurs winning all their games that were against other teams and that included Leeds v Burnley

But just about everyone will have known that but the whole point of this thread was that we could actually be safe tonight, which many won't have known about as I didn't.
 
16 Nottingham Forest 39
17 West Ham United. 36
———————————————-
18 Tottenham Hotspur. 34
19 Burnley. 20
20 Wolves 17

I think only the last three higher than already relegated Wolves are Burnley are in danger. Nottingham Forest are still not clear. They are only 5 points better off than Tottenham. But West Ham are only 3 points behind. If West Ham grow in confidence and start to turn around things and it looks like they are I think, that could pull Forest down to 17th and with Forest clearly believing they can win everything and do everything everywhere, with Europa League football still to play for, they may get too tired to juggle Premier League survival at the same time.

Just my personal preference.

Said for weeks 40 pts wouldnt be enough this season. I'm guessing spurs will win at least 2 of their last games if not 3.

Anyone with half a brain knows that! You can’t go purely on the assumption that because 40 points has been enough before it will be enough every time. Anyone who thinks that is either gullible, stupid, conspiracy theorists or all three.
