2015-16 BigFooty Premier League Predictions

[moomba]

Seriously?

Of the players listed, only Sterling and Delph (who probably won't play all that much) are anywhere close to proven at Premier League level.

If you're going to win the title then it most likely will be on the back of your dad's army of a squad.

Heres hoping.

What criteria are people using for best transfer? Biggest impact/contribution for their team, best value for money?

I did impact on the team. Sadly Cech will improve Arsenal.

How often does that happen these days though?

Dortmund won a weak Bundesliga with kids but how many other quality top flight competitions win with kids these days? It only seems to happen in France/Portugal/Holland etc because the quality of depth isn't as good.

How many teams bring through that amount of high quality young players anymore?

Don't know that it's that big a deal with us.

Sterling is pretty much a bona fide premier league senior player and a full international.

Denayer is a full international with a season of senior football under his belt and champions league experience. I reckon he'll come in as 3rd/4th choice CB. Maybe looking at 10/15 starts in the league.

Lopes has a full season of senior experience under his belt as well and was Lilles best player last season. He may even go out on loan again if other signings come in.

Kelechi is the only one without any sort of senior experience.

Roberts I can't see playing much.

So I can't see it being a huge issue for us. For me, I'm happy some chances are being given to our younger players, even if it costs us the odd result in the short term.

Kelechi, Lopez, Denayer & Sterling will not win the league for City. All still raw and far from the finished article.

City need a Pogba / KDB type signing to challenge for the title IMO.

No one is suggesting they will win the league for us.

We have one or two handy players in the squad as well as them. Many of whom have already proven they are good enough to win the league.

 

[jod23]

You're dead to me.

Haha sorry bro. But I sense second year blues. I havent really thought your transfer business has been great either so it spells doom and gloom for me. For your sake though, I hope im wrong.

Thanks, SM. Do you take everyone's input and then average it out to make an overall BF prediction?

Rafa's wife?

By winning Europa Sevilla go into UCL, but they could drop down again after the group matches (UCL teams that finish 3rd in their group go into Europa).

They'll probably find a way to do that then. The EL has no credibility whilst its a backup for the UCL groupstage sides

I think it adds value to the achievement of winning it, but if Sevilla won a 3rd time, then it's hard to ignore it's a bit of a problem. The good thing is it means there's a difference between finishing 3rd and 4th in the UCL, so there's less scope for dead rubbers.

Top 5 is probably the area people will most strongly disagree with me.

 

[FAITH]

starting to think our season will be either competing for the league title or a total disaster with rodgers sacked..

Total disaster would be failing again and Rodgers not sacked

 

[jd2010]

Total disaster would be failing again and Rodgers not sacked

A total disaster for Rodgers would be his tanning bed breaking down and his dentist putting the price of teeth whitening up!
