Number Of Points That It Takes In League Two, Based On The Last 10 Seasons

[_Stefan_Kuntz]

If we take Cayambe's example to be of one individual season in the past, then yes 77 points would be the target for promotion if we take it as a template for a current season's aim. 3rd needed just 77 points not 80.
1 = 86
2 = 82
3 = 80
4= 76

If we take it as an averaged out accumulation of numerous past seasons then 77 points is again the average requirement that we aspire to reach.

This is the basis for my table. The correct basis for getting above 4th is to get 1 more point than 4th. To use 3rd in any way is to be in error because 3rd may be several points above 4th, thus the requirement has to be 1 point above 4th etc.
Cayambe's logic in using 3rd place is flawed because in his own example as shown above he would define the points needed to finish 3rd as 80 when clearly it is 77.

Conclusion :- Do not use 3rd, 7th or 22nd in these important promotion, Play-Off or relegation issues. Use 1 point more than 4th, 1 point more than 8th and 1 point more than 23rd.
