In the last two Premier League seasons, all three promoted teams were relegated, achieving a collective average of just 66 points. This is the worst performance since the 1996-97 season. Historically, 40 points has been viewed as a minimum requirement for survival, with only three teams ever going down with that total. However, this benchmark may need revision given the downward trend in points achieved by newly-promoted sides in recent years. Recent examples of survival and relegation highlight the shifting dynamics of the league.
Historically, newly-promoted teams have struggled, with the last two seasons seeing all three relegated teams finishing with an average of just 66 points between them.
Traditionally, 40 points has been considered the magical number for Premier League survival, yet recent seasons suggest this benchmark may need reconsideration.
