Apparently Chelsea should be 4th based on the data. Not sure why we need to play the games at all, let's just run a simulation.

So he’s saying they are underperforming. Is that on the manager?

Also, not all the data: the number of games won and drawn counts as data.

I don't think the Premier League has jurisdiction over EFL clubs. I suppose they could refuse to let Leicester come back up, but is it more likely that they will start the season with a significant negative points total?

Not sure if it's quite the same thing because games have always been postponed due to waterlogging, but I think rules concerning the state of the pitch go too far. A pitch should live with the seasons.
