So, here we go fact fans:
Vs Top half 10 games, 7 points, 0.7 points per game, projection 16.80pts
Vs Bottom half 7 games, 11 points, 1.57 points per game, projection 34.57pts
Season Projection 51.37pts
Still 0 points vs any teams currently in the top 9
What's the point? at any arbitrary moment playing teams in the top half of the table is harder than teams in the bottom half? as a rough guide, maybe, but far too simplistic and doesn't include other factors such as form and the way teams climb and drop down the league.
it's easy to disprove as say we were playing the team in 12th on Saturday, but on Friday the team in 13th can climb the table when playing the top team. This means the difficulty of our fixture is determined by the result of two other random teams which clearly it can't be.
