Has anyone got 100 points in the Premier League?

The Premier League teams who came close to perfection

The Premier League is known for being competitive from top to bottom. Even the strongest teams have to work through tough away trips, back-to-back grudge matches, and opponents who refuse to let up. 

Keeping performance levels high from August to May is incredibly difficult for any squad. Reaching 100 points, though, is another level entirely. 

It means winning almost every week across 38 matches, avoiding the mid-season wobble, and dealing with injuries, pressure, and fatigue without letting the standard drop.

It’s the type of consistency that feels impossible…until someone actually does it.

Has anyone ever reached 100 points?

Only one club has hit the mythical 100-point mark in the Premier League: Manchester City in 2017/18. 

Often referred to as the Centurions season, City finished with 100 points, 32 wins, and a staggering 106 goals scored.

That season wasn’t chaotic or dramatic. Manchester City simply turned up most weekends and got the job done. They didn’t need a mid-season resurgence or a grand defining moment. They were just very good, for a very long time, against a league where most teams don’t allow that to happen.

Several teams have pushed into similar territory, but none have crossed the same line:

Each of those seasons had momentum and all the trademarks of a side in control. But in the Premier League, one bad week can undo months of good work. That’s the difference between a historic season and a really good one.

Has any team gone unbeaten in a season?

Arsenal in 2003/04, known as the Invincibles, finished the Premier League season without a single defeat. They finished on 90 points.

The unbeaten achievement reflects a different type of control. Arsenal managed games impeccably well, protected leads, and rarely allowed matches to slip out of their grasp. They were consistent across the entire season.

But unbeaten doesn’t always mean maximum points. Arsenal drew 12 matches. The Centurions drew four. Both achievements stand out, but they come from different approaches to managing a league campaign.

What team scored the lowest in the Premier League?

The lowest points total in Premier League history belongs to Derby County, who finished on 11 points in 2007/08.

Derby really didn’t have a great time. There were matches where things looked promising, but the results never really arrived. Once the losses stacked up, confidence went with them, and the season became a long fight against the tide.

It wasn’t for lack of effort. It just never quite clicked. If the 100-point season is the gold standard, Derby’s year is the reminder that the Premier League can be absolutely ruthless when you fall behind early.

Fans still talk about it. Sometimes sympathetically, sometimes to reassure themselves that things could always be much, much worse.

Why 100 points is so rare

The Premier League season is a long one. There are weeks when everything flows and the wins stack up, and weeks where nothing seems to land properly. 

Most teams hit a spell where they look a little flat. It might be a couple of injuries, a few tired legs, or just a run of games that never quite falls their way. Reaching 100 points basically requires skipping that dip or keeping it so small that nobody really notices. 

Really, there’s nothing dramatic about it. It’s just steady football for a very long time, and that level is hard to hold, which is why only one team has managed it.
