[SM]

DEADLINE

 

[jd2010]

1. Man C: by far the strongest squad
2. Chelsea: they'll give City a good run but I think Morata won't be as clinical as Costa was
3. Spurs: we won't be in the title race this season, expecting there to be an 8-10 point gap between the top 2 and 3rd
4. Man U: 2nd season for most of the group will see them improve massively

5: Arsenal: a lot hinges on Sanchez staying + how they go with the Thurs-Sun football the EL brings could see them drop a few easy points along the way
6: Liverpool: will back them in to not sell Coutinho and put them here

7: Everton: wasn't convinced by them a month ago but once they get Siggurddson that's a very stacked squad with good attacking talent. Could be a surprise packet if Keane and Pickford do turn out to be great buy
8: Southampton: easy fixture list to start I think they could get on a roll and do enough to shoot clear of the pack

9. Bournemouth: a much better transfer window this year. Ake & Begovic in particular are great buys!
10. West Ham: a lot of proven PL performers in there but the defence still relies on a kiwi

11. Brighton: starting to make an impact in the market and are my pick for best performed newcomer
12. Leicester: would be a few spots higher but I'm not convinced by the manager
13. Watford: liked what Silva did at Hull with very limited resources, this could be a boom or bust pick. They'll either finish 10-13th or 20th
14. West Brom: they'll stall once they get to 40 points like usual
15. Crystal Palace: have they got enough talent for de Boer to work wonder with? Defence looks ordinary still.

16. Burnley: I like Dyche but I don't think he has enough quality to do much more than survive a relegation battle
17. Newcastle: as long as Rafa stays they'll stay up

18. Huddersfield: just too many speculative signings with no real PL experience
19. Stoke: their best signing this summer is Darren Fletcher
20. Swansea. They sell Gylfi they're ****ed
