Back by "popular" demand.
Where we can compare results with last season to try to estimate where we are likely to finish.
There didn't seem to be much point in comparing our last season as we are in a different league playing (mostly) different teams.
So, seeing as everyone keeps banging on about us "doing a Fulham", I've based this on their results instead. We can use their results last season as a marker to work out whether we are likely to suffer like they did, or easily leave their points total in our wake.
Results listed as home result, away result, points. So if we won at home and drew away, it would say WD4.
"-" means we have yet to play match(es).
Last season's (Fulham) results listed to the left of the opponents' names, this season's (Villa) scores listed to the right.
I'll try to update this after each game.

*this is (estimated Villa final points total minus Fulham final points total) divided by number of games played so far, then multiplied by 38. Then, finally, added to Fulham points total and rounded up/down.
