Of course it doesnt require a rocket scientist to figure out that if your team has played 20 games and they're currently 12th then they're probably finish about 12th. But with the aid of this graph you can check how their current form may significantly alter their final position.

To demonstrate, have a look at this Tranmere example:



Between games 30 and 35, Tranmere were clearly heading for relegation and a finish around 22nd in the table. From games 36 to 39 Tranmere could have finished just outside the playoffs had they achieved continued their winning run and gained the full 72 points to the end of the season.
