Perversely, it's probably better to finish 8th than any position above bar 1st. If 8th, you have easy away games and your two difficult games are at home.
What I don't get is whether you keep your points during this spell? If it's a top 4 play off only, what happens to the 5-8 teams? They just finish? Yet the team that finishes bottom gets a lucrative play off game?
