The ALTERNATIVE Premier League table: French boffins devise a new 'fairer' formula for deciding leagues that finish prematurely... so how does your team fare if the season has to be cancelled?

As doubts grow about the viability of playing out the rest of the Premier League season, a number of methods have been mooted to complete the campaign.

There are those who would take the table at the halfway stage – when everybody had played each other once – and simply double the points totals.

Others think the fairest method would be to go on a points per game basis to work out how the campaign should conclude.

There are some who think it is best to just take the table as it stands.
