    Top 3 will be Arsenal, City, Liverpool with Newcastle and Man U finishing 4th and 5th.

    • Trossard will be one of our better attackers this year and will get 14g and 8a.
    • Havertz will integrate well and will slowly become perfect for the Xhaka role, racking up 8 goals and 10 assists.
    • Our defence will be the best in the league
    • 5 players score 10+ (Saka, Jesus, Trossard, Martinelli, Ode)
    • Timber will be the signing of the season.
    • I will love the away jersey by mid season.

      I’m not convinced Liverpool will be any good this season ngl. So far they’ve really not done that much in the transfer market compared to what they need — they’ve just been one in, one out on midfielders. I think they’ll probably still make Europe but I’m not convinced they’ll make CL.

        I know it’s a bold statement to make, but out of all the top teams that struggled last year they seem to be the one team who could improve the most.

        Newcastle should finish 3rd, but I have this feeling Klopp will have Liverpool playing very well this year and they won’t be the pushover they were last year.

          I’ve pencilled in United for third, actually. Actually having a striker, even if he doesn’t end up that great, should help a bunch, as should having an actual keeper.

            A new starting GK and ST could potentially help push them to third, but I’m curious if they really have the depth required to compete. If they can avoid the injury bug they do have the talent to get to third.

              Yeah i wouldnt feel confident about martial as a second choice striker but hey they do still have Rashford as an option (and hopefully not but technically still on the books with no news yet Greenwood)

              If they do bring Greenwood back I hope they get swapped with FCUM
