Fulham were in the Premier League for the first five of these nine seasons, 2009/10 to 2013/14, and outside it for the last four. In ten league games against Manchester City they drew three and lost seven. So they have little to give back: 3 points in all, never more than one in a season.
That makes the rebuilt table kind to them, in a small way. In three seasons they take the free place, City’s own, and nothing more. In 2009/10, the season Fulham reached their first European final and lost it 2–1 to Atlético Madrid after extra time in Hamburg, 12th becomes 11th. In 2011/12, 9th on 52 becomes 8th on 51, level on points with Liverpool. In two seasons they climb one place beyond the free place: 2010/11, and 2012/13, when two defeats by City cost nothing and 43 points make them 10th, not 12th.
No fate changes. The relegation of 2013/14 stands.
