I've added this year's points ranges to the points per game plot
And the current rate of points acquisitionhttps://i.imgur.com/nQU0I1x.png" >
So at the moment between 0.9 to 1 point per game required overall to hit 8th position. And that's overall, not the remaining games.
Let's say it's one point per game. Twenty three games overall, four points in the bag right now. 19 points from thirteen remaining games. That's an improvement from 0.4 ppg to 1.4 ppg required to hit that target.
Slightly lower of course because if you do start winning at the required rate then the win rate of the teams above you has to come down to accommodate that. Still, that's a daunting task.
