3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
Standings, survival and the title are all decided by this total. “Grabbing a point,” “a six-pointer” — late-season articles are full of points maths. Wins used to be worth 2; it became 3 to encourage attacking football.
Analysts say“At this stage, taking a point without over-committing is a valid call too.”
