Each of the 24 clubs plays every other side twice — once at home, once away — which is 46 matches per club and 552 in total. With 421 left there are roughly 35 rounds of fixtures to come, at 12 matches a round.
Not every club has the same number left. Portsmouth have 36 to play and Wrexham only 35, because postponements and cup commitments push fixtures around. Anyone comparing league positions this season needs the games-in-hand column below, not just the points.
