Up and to the right is ideal? That means you conceded less xG and created more xG.
So Everton are the most improved side in the league? Makes sense given their performances.
After the initial outrage over the 10pt deduction dies down, Toffees would be secretly happy that it came at the best time for them.
Last season, they're relegated. Earlier this season when they were on a bad run and suddenly the doom and gloom around the club could've spiralled. Later this season and they wouldn't have the games left to react.
But now, in a good run, with enough games to go and the siege mentality setting in with very low risk of actual relegation = best outcome of a bad situation.
I wouldn’t say very low risk tbh. Form can change. They’re probably going to be safe though.
Compared to every season for the last 3 or 4 years, where relegation would be a nailed on certainty, it's pretty low risk.
Everton would have to royally screw up to get relegated this season.
