Pre-Season Prediction Thread

[DJ Barry Hammond]

Ok, they’re back in training, so let’s have some pre-season predictions from you!

 

I’ve put a list of 32 areas I want your predictions on for the season ahead in the second post - so you can easily copy and paste your responses to each one.
 

By all means start your predictions now and come back to them before the start of the season - but no cheating after that! 

 

If this proves popular, I may record a spreadsheet of the guesses and report back with some sort of end-of-season scores - but no prizes, this is purely to show your ball knowledge clout!

I think the bottom half of the table will be extremely interesting this season. The promoted teams are going to be stronger than previous seasons & will push Everton, Nottingham & possibly Brentford. I'll never pick Leicester for relegation & I want to see Ipswich beat the odds & stay up.
