    2009-10: 31 points (Burnley relegated with 30 points) 2010-11: 40 points (Birmingham relegated with 39 points) 2011-12: 37 points (Bolton relegated with 36 points) 2012-13: 37 points (Wigan relegated with 36 points) 2013-14: 34 points (Norwich relegated with 33 points) 2014-15: 36 points (Hull relegated with 35 points) 2015-16: 38 points (Newcastle relegated with 37 points) 2016-17: 35 points (Hull relegated with 34 points) 2017-18: 34 points (Swansea relegated with 33 points) 2018-19: 35 points (Cardiff relegated with 34 points) 2020s

    Summary:

    The highest number of points needed to survive: 49 points (1992-93) The lowest number of points needed to survive: 29 points (2020-21)

    In most seasons, 35-40 points is generally considered the safety mark for avoiding relegation but the stiff competition of teams fighting it out at the bottom and the total points distribution throughout the league affect this threshold in any given year.
