Jpr Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm in the 2018/2019 season and this is the top of the prem with one game left, ridiculously tight with my team (2nd season in prem) just outside of the fight. The lowest points score to win the prem up to now has been 82 so for it to be won on 70 and for me to be so close really is a shame. As Peterborough we also made it to the FA cup to be beaten by Manchester United, and won the UEFA cup (after winning the league cup last season)! We also had the best defensive record in the league by 6 goals. The final league table is one of huge disappointment for us, we lost 2-1 at home to Fulham, a result which saved them from relegation but dropped us down to 7th. so no CL for us next season. Manchester United won a quadruple, even if the title was by 1 goal, so another tie waits for us in the Euro cup winners cup. Link to final table The main thing is liverpool shipping 73 goals and going down, their Squad is more than good enough to keep them up, I'm shocked they managed to go down. They finished 5th last season and there is no apparent reason for them to get relegated like this. any other tight finishes like this one or big teams going down?

Puni Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Saw Liverpool go down in the first season on my current save. They bounced back up straight away though. I wish my opponent's in the PL would only get that many points. This season I challenged for the title for the first time, but City made it to 92 points. I landed on 89, Chelsea on 88 and United on 87. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guarnere Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 The way Chelsea missed out on becoming champions there is the exact way Ajax did a few seasons ago in real life :') Dutch Eredivisie 2006/2007, Final Standings Pos. Team Pld. GS GA GD Pts. 1. PSV 34 75 25 50 75 2. Ajax 34 84 35 49 75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon07 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That's incredible! 70 points to win the title, IRL Spurs finished 5th on 72 points! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jegpeg Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 That's incredible! 70 points to win the title, IRL Spurs finished 5th on 72 points! Actually not that incredible. IRL in 2010/11 the finish was 1st Man U 80 pts 2nd Chelsea 71 pts 3rd Man C 71 pts So a little less consistency from Manchester United and it could easily haev finished with 3 teams on 71 points.

scott MUFC Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 i'm seeing a lot of randomness in terms of finishing positions. Wigan finished 5th, then next season were relegated with record lowest points the season after, and in that season Southampton finished 5th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

interesti88 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Not really pertaining to the Premier League but AC Milan got relegated in the 2nd season on my Inter save, pretty bizarre considering they finished 5th the season before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guarnere Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Not completely unrealistic.. In Holland 3 seasons back Feyenoord nearly finished in the relegation-playoff zone, next season they finished 2nd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
