Everton, which previously collected 14 points and was in 14th position in the standings, has now been thrown into the temporary relegation zone after being proven to have violated the FFP. The reduction of 10 points means that Everton now only get 4 points and they have to fight again to collect points in each match in order to be free from the relegation zone. This is the punishment that Everton must accept and it seems that they cannot do anything because the federation has decided that. I feel that Everton, who usually finish at the bottom of the table every season, now still have to repeat the same thing and of course they have to remain strong to get through this dark period.
Looking their' recent performance, I don't think they will relegated. I believe they will comeback, but after all Everton is just Everton, they can't going up to reach top 7 and will end near bottom position.
However I remember before this season started, many people were praise Burnley and they think Burnley could be a new contender, but they're currently stay at the lowest position lol.
Last season, Everton was only able to finish in 17th place in the EPL standings by collecting 36 points, meaning they finished one level above the degradation zone. The points deduction this time means that Sean Dyche squad has to fight harder to get out of the degradation zone. I am very sure they will not be degradation next season. However, looking at their future match schedule, it looks like their efforts will be really difficult.
Man United, Nottingham, Newcastle, Chelsea, Burnley, Tottenham and Manchester City are a number of the clubs they will face in the future. I can only say that the maximum points that can be achieved is 6, namely when facing Nottingham and Burnley, while in other matches I doubt it. Even though there is no choice for them now other than to improve their own fate by getting as many points as possible with a sense of optimism, management errors in decision making have a negative impact on the players mentality.
