Based on last 5 seasons not including points deductions, you'd need a minimum of 81 points to finish in the automatic places. Playoffs require a minimum of 69 points and to avoid relegation 51 points has been enough.

Going back 10 years, 51 points has been enough to survive every season. However, you would have been relying on goal difference in 16/17 season as Blackburn went down with 51 points as Forest survived on the same total.

We require a further 35 points to reach 51 points, an average of 1.30 points per game in our remaining games.

I've seen talk of playoffs on here...that would require a minimum of 1.96 points per game. Not going to happen!
