The Seasiders are currently six points off the play-off places, and have played more times than some of the teams above them. Tuesday night’s 1-0 defeat away to Leyton Orient, Neil Critchley’s side have now dropped down to ninth in the table.
Using EA Sports FC 24, we have individually simulated all of Blackpool’s remaining fixtures this season to see how many points they could end up with, and whether the game believes they’ve got what it takes to beat the teams standing between them and a potential top six finish.
Here’s what happened- and hopefully it’ll be slightly more exciting in real life:
