We're looking for teams in the 1990s I think.

Has anyone said Watford? Reading were decent for a while
Watford were 2nd once in the 1980s but not close since. And Reading were never that high I reckon.
The final 2 were in the first 3 seasons.

Charlton? Coventry City?

No and no.
Both of the 2 remaining teams finished 3rd. For one of the teams it resulted in a famous European victory in the season after and for the other team - they lost to the same team in Europe 2 seasons later.

Forrest
I said them earlier!!!
They were mentioned but not in this context. Forest were 3rd in 1994/95. One to get.

No - not since the 1970s

Yes we have a winner. 3rd in 92/93 then went on to knock Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Cup. Glory days. Ruel Fox went on to star at Newcastle and Chris Sutton won the title with Blackburn and is all over the radio these days.

And ironically back in the EPL next season

If the top 6 each season were given the points 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 for positions 1-6, list the top 10 clubs in order. (The top club has 218 points and the 10th has 20 points)
- Manchester United 218
- Manchester City 92
Complete the rest.
@cyclops said in EPL 2020/2021:
Arsenal presumably 2 and Chelsea 3. Maybe Liverpool 4, Everton 6? Spurs 7? Leicester sneaking in at 10.
- Manchester United 218
- Arsenal 143
- Chelsea 136
- Liverpool 113
- Manchester City 92
@canefan said in EPL 2020/2021:
@kiwipie Spurs at 6, Everton 7
- Manchester United 218
- Arsenal 143
- Chelsea 136
- Liverpool 113
- Manchester City 92
- Spurs 44
And so you don't guess every position for them, Everton are in 12th - they don't call the battle for 7th place The Everton Cup for nothing.
@canefan said in EPL 2020/2021:
@kiwipie How about Leicester at 7 then? They've had a number of great or good years, and the drop off will be steep from here I reckon
11th with 14 points - one title and 2 5th place finishes.
What about rovers at 10? Won in the early years of the EPL and maybe a few other decent finishes before they got dropped out.

They are in the top 10 but higher than 10th.
@cyclops said in EPL 2020/2021:
Okay let's try 7 Rovers, 8 Aston Villa, 9 Leeds and 10 Newcastle
- Manchester United 218
- Arsenal 143
- Chelsea 136
- Liverpool 113
- Manchester City 92
- Spurs 44
- Leeds 22
You have the other 3, just the wrong positions.
@canefan said in EPL 2020/2021:
@kiwipie Rovers in 8. They've been away for some time now. Villa at 10, Newcastle in 7
i followed rovers for ages, no way they can be higher than 8th
@cyclops said in EPL 2020/2021:
Must be 7 Newcastle, 8 Rovers, 10 Villas.
Out of interest, where do West Ham come in this? Newcastle have a better record than I realised.
- Manchester United 218
- Arsenal 143
- Chelsea 136
- Liverpool 113
- Manchester City 92
- Spurs 44
- Newcastle 37
- Blackburn 25
- Leeds 22
- Aston Villa 20
West Ham have the 6th they just achieved and a 5th back in 1998/99. So their rank is 15th below Forest and Norwich. Newcastle were runners-up to United for 2 consecutive seasons and also have 2 third finishes.
Final question for the day!
If the European Super League "Big Six" were decided using this scoring method after the first 10 seasons of EPL, who would be in the 6?
