Tranmere are talking about looking at the tables for the last three years to establish the margin of error for using ppg as a predictor for final league positions (irrespective of the identity of the teams that were in the relevant positions). It looks clumsy and artificial to me.
This, from Sunderland's local paper, seems to be thinking on the same lines as my interpretation

"The points-per-game method will be modified to include a 'margin for error calculator' that will account for clubs who, over the past three seasons, have not performed as strongly during their final nine games as expected.

The complex proposal could see the percentage of total points clubs will receive to account for the final nine unplayed games vary between -5.45 to +6.3% on average."
