Points Achieved: 41 (+0)
Points Available: 63 (-3)
Play Off Magic Number: 62 (-4)
Survival Magic Number: 46 (-3)

It's probably only me that cares, but I like to keep ticking this off and forgot with the gap between the last two league games.

I care - this is one of the few threads I regularly visit here.

I'd care even more if you could add in the number of matches played. I know I can always divide "Points Available" by three and then subtract that number from 46, but I'm lazy and it'd be easier to keep track if you could just bung the "Matches Played" in for me.

Ask and you shall received. Edited in, hope that's what you wanted.

For the first time in a while, Play Offs are no longer in our hands, the magic number is bigger than our remaining available points.

You could always oxf*rd off.

I think it's fine, it's not going to mean much at this point sure, but it's clear people like it being tracked, quite similar to the 106 record watch.

Does that take into account that because we play the other teams we can reduce the points they can get ?

No, you'd basically need to run a sim of every conceivable match result in that case. Can't really factor that in until the last handful of games.
