Honey Honey Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 10 games in none of the bottom 8 have managed to make it to 10 points. 4 teams don't even have 6 points. 2017/18 - 5 teams had less than 10 points, only one less than 6. 2016/17 - 3 teams had less than 10 points. 2 of which less than 6. 2015/16 - 5 less than 10. 1 less than 6. 2014/15 - 4 less than 10, 1 less than 6. 2013/14 - 4 less than 10, 2 less than 6. A side effect of increasing money in the league making it harder for newer teams to establish themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted October 28, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted October 28, 2018 There's a much better chance as a new team to stay up by playing for stifling draws and 1-0s than expressing yourself and going for it like Blackpool famously did unless you spend a shit ton of money (or a suspiciously average ton of money) like Wolves. There's also massive disparity between the top six and the rest except for United who are a mess. That's why I mentioned in the other thread that Madrid and Barcelona need to carry out a raid on Kane, Hazard, Salah, De Bruyne etc to even things back out a bit. Fact is right now the bottom 14 are arguably out of their depth. If you chose the worst XI from the top six of players who at least have a few appearances this season against the best XI from the rest of the League the top six XI would probably win.

Dave Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I think Leicester gave them all the rocket up the arse they all needed. I looked at the transfer activity some of those teams were doing before that and thought "What the fuck?". Since then they've all developed more of a structure.
