On August 11, a new season of the "Premier" league will begin.
Most clubs dream of winning the championship title or at least a high place in the standings, but not all teams soar in the clouds.
Newcomers to the championships or teams with the smallest budgets face the challenge of staying in the championship.
How many points should guarantee this?
Calculations from the 1995/1996 season (when the current system of 20 teams was confirmed) showed that it is necessary to win 10 matches and achieve 7 draws, i.e. exceed an average of 36.6 points.
Throughout history, the team that has had the worst luck is "West Ham," which in 2003 finished in 18th place and the "hammers" failed to save them from collecting only 42 points.
The weakest performance was by the "Burnley" team, which in 2010 failed to reach the 32 points that guaranteed survival at that time.
