Not quite. 35 is around what the sixth highest forward will score, but does not account for anything like injuries.
If a team had a very set top 6 and there was no injuries or the like, and the 6th forward got 35 points, that sixth forward would be disappointing (offensively).
Start accounting for injuries, good/bad teams, line juggling, and
an above average complimentary second line forward should be a "40 point forward" in my opinion.
