STATS: Points needed for each position

Hi guys,
I wanted to do some statistical analysis to which my knowledge hasn't been done before. Please, if you find any relating fun stats, post below and I will edit & include

After churning the results of a wide range of divisions (listed at the bottom),
I have found:

---------Average points per position (to 1 decimal place).---------

1st: 66.9
2nd: 60
3rd: 55.9
4th: 52.4

6th: 47.6
7th: 45.7
8th: 43.7
9th: 41.7
10th: 39.5
11th: 37.5
12th: 35.1
13th: 31.2
14th: 26.6
15th: 19.8
16th: 10.1

I Love these sorts of stats.

Very interesting.

Super post fella , very much enjoyed your analysis saying Football is now a stat driven game should a new position be created for a " stat man" in the staff roles ...

Thanks Mate, good point also - I'm sure the stats that the developers have access to are certainly mouthwatering , if more insight was given I think it would only benefit the game

I keep coming back to thus thread to judge the current season as it plays out ...

Quite surprised there's not a lot more interest here.

Same, I always find myself checking back in, seeing if I'm guaranteed safety etc etc

Did you ever expand your research database?

Didn't get round to it, but its all on an excel sheet, so might spend a few hours and collate some more data

Just seen this, excellent work

On the statistical analysis topic, I’m doing a degree in a related field and would love any data to practice visualising using programming. If anyone has any data related to this game in an excel/ csv format, I’d love to play around and visualise it.
