Realistically I think you will need 36 points to survive this year, you already have 35 so it's very unlikely by this point that Leeds will go down imo.
I think you will end up finishing on somewhere between 45-48 personally and probably between 11th and 13th.
I'm seeing 9 points as well.
I hope it's enough, should be enough.
Ooops, I thought this was the Liverpool board when I saw that title.
9 points minimum, but there’s a good chance we’ll finish with over 50 points.... chill out 😉
35 points will probably be enough to stay up.
Brighton and Fulham are not playing well enough to guarantee they will stay up, Brighton have no wins in 5 and Fulham have only managed to score more than once in 5 games, failing to score at all in 13 games.
Newcastle are shiiit and Burnley aren't exactly firing.
35 has been enough in the last 4 seasons to stay up.
People have been saying this every time we lose a couple.
Then we go and win a couple. We'll be fine.
op.............no....move on
If we remain winless in our last 11 games then we may go down and would deserve to go down. Couple of wins from 11 matches will see us easily safe.

Nothing. You’ll fine me over many threads stating I’m relaxed about relegation. Just stating a fact there - not stating it’s going to happen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only this time it seems unlikely we will " win a couple".Hence my concern particularly as one of the couple is against Fulham!
You are 9 points off 8th and 10 points off 18th, so if you argue that you could end up in a relegation battle, you could also end up in a battle for european footy.
Nope, we have shown we can compete with the best in the PL. There's no chance we won't take at least six points from the next 33, whoever we play. We've already done enough.
I think it’s a legitimate concern. We have a really tough run of fixtures ahead. Our performances might be good, but we are not getting the points. We should have beaten West Ham, we were by far the better team, same goes against wolves.
Fulham are only 9 points behind. With the fixtures we have, we could really struggle to pick up points.
Bielsa keeps starting the wrong team, we need to go with the team that finished against WH. Drop and forget Tyler Roberts, he doesn’t cut it at this level. Costa is ok as an impact player for a brief spell.
I really hope we put in a performance against Chelsea and beat them . But under tuchel, there’s a real chance we could be thrashed.

I dont understand why people are only focusing on Fulham.
Brighton, Burnley and Newcastle, who are all on awful runs worse than us would also have to get more points than us between now and the season end
There is a tendancy in these situations to think every club around you will suddenly turn into prime Barca and take close to maximum points while your own club struggle to get 1.
There is a reason these teams are below Leeds and in the fight, and that is because they aren't that great.
Last season Norwich lost their last 10 or 11, while Bournemouth and Watford picked up 7 points each from the last 10. Villa, who survived from the relegation zone, only picked up 10 points in the last 10 games, which is remembered as a good run of form!!
To think Newcastle, Brighton and Fulham will all turn around their season form (averaging less than a point a game for the latter two) is just pessimism at its worst.
People are saying if and what, but if the worst comes to worst the teams that people are afraid off have to take advantage!..
Why should they succeed where we haven't?..
You have to look at it another way - if you were a betting man would you put a wad on us getting less than 5 points out of the remaining 33 still on offer?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the 12 points available in the last 4 games and us obtaining 0 points, I would consider putting a bet on it.
Basically, the next 4 games:
- Chelsea (H) - we could get something out of this if he plays the right team and Bamford remembers how to score goals. Prediction: Loss
- Fulham (A) - this is must win, but Fulham are playing excellent football, plus its in London. One we should win, but I think we will lose or draw. Prediction: Loss
- Sheff Utd (H): A game we should win, Sheff Utd though have Yorkshire pride to play for and I don't think we're as good as we were when we beat them 1-0 on their patch. A tougher game than we think. Prediction: Win
- Man City (A): They are the form team. We arent where we were at the start of the season. Prediction: Loss.
So I want to be wrong, but I predict 3 points from the next 12 available, possibly 4 points if we get the draw with Fulham away.
