bradowl Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Don't understand all those predicting Birmingham to go down. I think they'll do far better this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm still waiting on my prize from last season of a bath with Pauli's missus...or was it a bath with Pauli...meh, I'm not fussy. It's a rollover then. William Hill are running a Prem Predictor.You can win £50 million if you predict the final Premier League table.Sounds like a doddle!! Practically impossible but for £50mill... its got to be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oujimaflip Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It's a rollover then. Practically impossible but for £50mill... its got to be worth a try. William Hill allow up to 250 entries per person though! Worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionel Fessi Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Always a hard task given that so much will change over the next few weeks, will imagine it will look something like. 1-Derby 2-Middlesbrough 3rd-6th Hull Barnsley Wolves QPR 7th-10th Wednesday Fulham Ipswich Brentford 11th-14th Reading Nottingham Brighton Leeds *mid table mayhem every team swapping positions every week* 22nd-24th MK Dons Huddersfield Preston So much can happen, but teams like MK Dons and Blackburn that have lost such key players compared to last season are really going to struggle. MK have lost Grigg,Baker,Ali,Afobe and have replaced them with considerably less quality, Blackburn like wise losing Gestede,King,Cariney and perhaps Rhodes. Won't be easy for them depends how they adjust, but could really suffer. Teams like Birmingham, Charlton,Cardiff and Reading very similar too, don't really have much money but very average squads likely to hover around mid table all season. Then you have the teams with next to no money that will be relying on their mangers to pull their already weak squads through the season and depend on 1 or 2 key players, Rotherham,Bolton,Huddersfield and Preston. I think the top 6 almost picks itself, obviously Derby and Midds have spent plenty of money so have strong teams, although Midds might struggle without a 15+ striker. Other than that the relegated pre teams have strong squads so should't drop off too far, all depends on if their better players can perform. QPR's side looks pretty risky and Wolves in 6th are only there because Afobe/Dicko and now ALF are 40+ goals guaranteed, and they always seem to do well as the season goes on. Plenty of teams that could make a challenge for top 6, Brentford like us have a decent team and had some money invested, so have Fulham, Ipswich, Wolves,Leeds all will have decent spells throughout the season. Surprise package? Brighton Narrowly avoid relegation? Rotherham (sadly) Rock bottom? MK Dons Best football? Hull Biggest flop?

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Fulham will be this seasons surprise team. Weren't they one of last season's surprise teams, in so far as they were surprisingly crap? I expect them to revert to the norm this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Quick question to anyone who thinks were coming below 14th? Why do you think that? Mainly because I just can't see anything good happening to us: force of habit after so long. More rationally, lots of new players will take a long time to gel. Not sure the formations that we have used in pre season will suit the championship. Nagging doubt that if things are not gong well we will rip it up and start again.

But to clarify, at the end of every season the points totals are cleared, and they start again in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Yes. But to clarify, at the end of every season the points totals are cleared, and they start again in August. It wouldn't be so surprising to see them do well though, would it? Last year, they were tipped to be in and around the playoffs by quite a few people - WSC magazine had them down to finish second, for example. The fact that they underperformed for a large part of last season doesn't take away from the quality of their squad, so I'm not sure how them performing to the potential they clearly have would class them as a 'surprise team'. I reckon they have enough to at least make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
