[Football] Predicting the entire Premier League before it starts

[Gwylan]

Villa staying up with 26 points? Quite a season!

Indeed.

I wasn't trying to favour any one team but there does seem to be a clear bottom group

This is very different from my BBC pick

 

[Nameless]

Hmmm ... very close at the bottom


Liverpool FC 38 28 7 3 81:32 49 91

Not many points at the bottom there, interesting how when you do the table you get teams in positions you wouldn't expect

I think it's because I got them losing every game to the top eight or nine and drawing a lot. That's clearly not going to happen - there'll be the odd shock result - but they're impossible to predict

That was a bit of fun and mine came out quite realistic I think although surprised how high West Brom are as I expect them to go down - think I gave them more points from local derbies against Wolves and Aston Villa than they'll realistically get. A lot of draws in my predictions - I gave Burnley and Everton 24 draws each!!

1. Man City - 94 points;
2. Liverpool - 83 points;
3. Chelsea - 79 points;
4. Man Utd - 75 points;
5. Arsenal - 70 points;
6. Tottenham - 53 points;
7. Leicester - 51 points;
8. Everton - 48 points;
9. Wolves - 45 points;
10. Crystal Palace - 40 points;
11. Sheffield United - 40 points;
12. Brighton - 40 points;
13. Southampton - 38 points;
14. West Brom - 35 points;
15. Leeds - 33 points;
16. Burnley - 33 points;
17. West Ham - 32 points;
18. Newcastle - 30 points;
19. Aston Villa - 29 points;
20. Fulham - 28 points.

Palace have smashed it to be fair but still may lose their best player. Leeds for me have got work to do Rodrigo is a massive risk he was a brilliant player a few years ago but never really been a certified goal scorer but still massive upgrade on Bamford. Robin Koch looks a bit lightweight and next to Cooper with Dallas and Ayling as full backs I think they can be got at. Midfield is up there with the worst in the league as well. Mad how the transfer window can change opinions though this time a week ago I would've had Newcastle as certs.

I found this an interesting article about Bielsa and Leeds, it’s a bit different to the constant bum licking afforded by the majority of the media in this country.

A season where the deeper, younger squads will do well. The games will come thick and fast like a top level Championship. Any squad that remains fairly injury free will do well.

Villa were possibly the worst squad to stay up last season and the short turnaround is going to make life very difficult for the promoted clubs.

Genuinely, found putting clubs in order quite conflicting and difficult. Looking forward to coming back to this.

Everton and Wolves might do better without Europe.
