I think so, just wasn’t quite sure where you were going with it.

I know this is worthless really, but it does indicate how teams outside the top six perform against each other, and come the end of the season, might be relevant?

The figure in the bottom right hand corner is the average number of points taken from the 'Big 6'

At the beginning of the season, I predicted that the most you can expect from those games is probably 6 points, and as you see, the average is well under 5.

I'll update this after each Albion game.

My point is thus (daughter's watching 1974 Murder on the Orient Express):
The OP said "At the beginning of the season, I predicted that the most you can expect from those games is probably 6 points, and as you see, the average is well under 5."
The OP is wrong, the average is well under 5 now because the season hasn't finished yet. Come the end of the season, the average will be about 6, so 6 isn't the most you can expect, it's the average you can expect, and some teams will get more. I think he makes a general good point about, er, points, but that phrase was out of place.

You just showed your calculation to prove that we're on for an average of 6 points per team, which is what I said, not what the OP said.
