A continuation of our overall league history post

[Kind of Blue]

Swansea are currently 23.5 places higher than their football league average. Which 5 sides have even higher positions than their league averages?

Couldn’t hazard a guess with some of the more recent FL newbies and as someone has plumped for Brighton I’ll go for:

Wycombe, Bournemouth, Reading, Watford, Peterborough?

Bournemouth are top. Wycombe 4th. Reading 5th. Watford 9th. Peterborough 14th.

Moodybluebird has given us Brighton in 2nd. The team in 3rd is probably a big surprise as most would consider them an established top two divisions side. Their average position is virtually identical to ours. They were almost exclusively a 3rd division team until the mid 60s, but have only had 3 seasons there since, and they have also overtaken our tally of seasons in the top flight.

Southampton?

Southampton?

Close. They are 10th. They've only spent 11 seasons outside the top 2 divisions and their average position is 25th.
