For a long time, 40 points was assumed to be enough for a team to avoid Premier League relegation.
In reality, it’s nearly always possible to survive with fewer. But which team has won the least points and still managed to survive? Who is the worst team not to have been relegated?
Seb Stafford-Bloor explains, Craig Silcock illustrates.

Can you do an episode on what you might consider to be the 'toughest' run to a Champions League title? I would argue that Inter defeating the defending champions and champions of Spain (Barcelona), the champions of England (Chelsea) and the champions of Germany (Bayern Munich), denying Bayern their treble and completing their own in 2009/10 would sure be up there - at the very least one of the most underrated European titles ever.

Both are Albion legends in their own right, and I think that context would have added to the video.

An indication of how bad the league was that year is that West Ham finished 17th but ended up 5 points clear of Hull in 18th. 31 points would have kept us up; as it was, we got 35 which is only 1 point off what West Brom got in 04/05.

That relegation battle was immense. Norwich winning all of their last 4 home games including Man United and Newcastle yet failing away even when it was at Fulham who had nothing to play for. Palace beating Liverpool then drawing every game. Southampton snatching last minute winners and equalisers against Norwich and Palace respectively but finally going down. And West Brom. Never underestimate Paul Robinsons last minute equaliser at villa a few weeks earlier. Also, there was a point on the penultimate game where West Brom were losing at Man United and Palace were beating Southampton. At that point they were relegated. But Earnshaw equalised from the spot and that late Southampton goal whilst benefitting Southampton also massively helped West Brom in the end.

Crystal Palace drew 3-3 with Norwich(H) 2-2 with Southampton(H) & 2-2 with local rivals Charlton(A)...just 3 points...that might have easily been 9...as they lead in all 3 games. Palace are also the only club relegated from EPL when finishing 4th from bottom...& on goals scored! Lucky Oldham...& lucky WBA! .

That record might go this season. Burnley might survive with 30 points and a goal difference of -33.

Nottingham Forest are currently in 17th place with 26 points and 4 matches remaining. They (or Luton, who are just 1 point behind) could potentially set the new record.

That's a surprisingly high total for the worst team to stay up. Both 17th Everton and 18th Leicester had under that going into the final matchday this season.

1 point per game in a well balanced league (in terms of the ratio of teams to relegation spots) is usually always enough to avoid relegation. Often, anything less than 1 point per game is enough to see you relegated. I think people say 40 points in the PL because it's close to the 38 and it's nice and round. In the 38 team PL era, only 8 times has a team with 38 or more points gotten relegated (occurring in 6 different seasons). In 5 of these 6 seasons, the league winner got 83 points or less, a feat that has only happened 8 times in PL history, showing that when there are no outstanding teams, the lower end teams can gather more points. In 11 of the 28 PL seasons with 20 teams, the bottom 3 was exactly the 3 teams with less than 38 points and all teams that survived scored 38 or more points. Given some seasons are one way and some are the other, it's quite a good general description for the requirements to stay up.

That "ex Manchester United midfielder" Bryan Robson had started his career at West Brom, surprising that you never mentioned that. Also "Boing Boing" has nothing to do with being a yoyo team. A group of fans had followed the club to Holland for a pre season in 1993 and it references a song by Dutch band(?) Rotterdam Termination Source called Poing

There’s nothing worse than being promoted then get relegated the next season or get the least points for the whole season or only stay up by luck and other teams results helping you to stay in the league when you clearly didn’t deserve it

I analysed all this data either last year or the year before because I was interested in the question: Is the number of points needed to survive going up down or staying the same?

@markchambers3833 11 ай бұрын

If I remember right, that was a particularly poor season with loads of teams at the bottom such as Palace playing negative 4-5-1 formations. I haven't looked at the stats but my vague memories of this season are that there were a lot of draws and the teams at the bottom were particularly low scoring as they focused on not conceding goals. It was pretty grim as I recall.

@davidspear9790 11 ай бұрын

Since the PL became 20 teams in 95-96, there's been a gradual decrease in the number of points needed to survive from an average of 39.5 from 96-99 down to an average of 33.75 from 20-23. The figures are based on a team finishing 1 point above the relegation places.

Crazily enough, this record could have been tied this past 2022-2023 season by Leicester if Everton didn’t win their last game. Even if Everton drew, Leicester would have finished above Everton on goal difference and survive relegation on 34 points. I’m pretty sure Tifo was paying attention to this also, hence the posting of this video after the season concluded.

And West Ham were relegated with the most points (in a 38-game season) in 2003, with 42. Also, Sunderland (1997) and Bolton (1998) both went down with 40 points.
