    Best signing: Hickey to Brentford / Alvarez to City / G.Jesus to Arsenal
    Worst signing: Lisandro to United / Scamacca to West Ham
    Outlandish prediction: Leicester in the relegation battle
    Any other thoughts? I think there could be a surprise breakout team into the top 3-5, if the stars align for a particular club vis a vis not having many World Cup callups or being saddled with horrible fixture congestion either side. Brentford or Brighton might be candidates for this if they can score enough goals.

    Champions League
    Winner: Liverpool
    Runner up: Man City
    Other semi-finalists: Bayern, Real Madrid
    Top scorer: Haaland
    Outlandish prediction: Rangers and Celtic both in the last 16

    Championship
    Winner: Watford
    Runner up: Burnley
    Playoff winners: Swansea

    Other Winners

    League Cup: Tottenham
    Europa League: Chelsea
    La Liga: Barcelona
    Serie A: Eentair
    Bundesliga: Brian
    Ligue 1: PSG

    YOUR TEAM
    League Position: 5th
    Best player: Kai Havertz
    Worst player: Timo Werner if he stays, otherwise one of the shitty dead woods we can't get rid of
    Unsung hero: Mason Mount
    Best signing: Surely Koulibaly
    Worst signing: happy with the three to date, so someone yet to arrive
    Will your manager last the season? Probably, but far from certain
    Outlandish prediction Connor Gallagher to be on the young player of the year shortlist
    Any other thoughts? I don't think we'll be that good this year. Massive transitions behind the scenes, chaotic transfer policy, think our goalkeepers are all shit and there isn't anyone prolific at the club. Our best hope is if Raheem somehow avoids the operating table and becomes a marksman of sorts.

    If you think 'Union St-Gilloise' are holding onto a paltry 2-0 lead at Ibrox against the roar of the British lion then you are sadly mistaken.

    Rangers are the Sevilla of Scotland. They never make it out of the CL qualifiers. They’ll go straight into the EL and piss the group stages again.

    Any other thoughts? United will improve, but the five sides above them are miles better so it'll be barely perceptible. Ten Hag to have a meltdown by December.

    Best signing: It's hard not to be excited about someone described as an "18 year old Paraguayan wonderkid"

    Will your manager last the season? As long as they're not in the top half when Ten Hag gets sacked
    Outlandish prediction Caicedo will be the subject of £50 million bids this time next year
    Any other thoughts? Kacper Kozlowski, Kaoru Mitoma, Denis Undav. Who on earth are these people? I don't know but they're in the first team squad. It's very FM save in 2035 (and you've edited all your scouts stats up to 20).

    I reckon Mitoma will be good considering Celtic wanted him and their Japanese players have been class.

    5.Arsenal
    6.Manchester UFC
    7.Newcastle

    18.Everton
    19.Notts Forest
    20.Bournemouth

    Top scorer: 'arry Kane
    Best player: Kevin De Bruyne
    Best manager: Jurgen Klopp
    First manager sacked: Scott Parker
    Best signing: Ivan Perisic/Bernd Leno
    Worst signing: Diego Carlos
    Outlandish prediction: Leicester will hit the wall this year. Rodgers will end up sacked at some point as he only ever has one plan.
    Any other thoughts? Wolves and Everton signing nobody of note will see them mix it up with Leeds for that final spot to go down. United and Chelsea will need the season after drastic change since the end of last year.
    City and Liverpool will both have to deal with adapting to a proper striker type in the middle. I think Liverpool will just edge that battle. Salah also missing the world cup could be the difference. He really fell off after AFCON last season.

    Champions League
    Winner:Manchester City
    Runner up:Chelsea
    Other semi-finalists:Liverpool, Real Madrid
    Top scorer:Salah
    Outlandish prediction: PSG to implode. Club director Mbappe is a recipe for disaster.

    Championship
    Winner:West Brom
    Runner up:Milwall
    Playoff winners:Blackburn Rovers

    Other Winners
    FA Cup:Chelsea
    League Cup:Crystal Palace
    Europa League:Sevilla
    La Liga:Real Madrid
    Serie A:AC Milan
    Bundesliga:Bayern
    Ligue 1:PSG

    YOUR TEAM
    League Position:1st
    Best player:Salah
    Worst player:Adrian
    Unsung hero:Joel Matip, though I feel he's getting more recognition these days
    Best signing:Nunez
    Worst signing:Ramsey?
    Will your manager last the season? Unless he dies, yes.
    Outlandish prediction: The world cup will cause havoc with the League Cup fixtures. As such a team outside of the established top 6 has it's best chance of winning it. Liverpool will default back to not caring about the cups this season for the same reason.
    Any other thoughts?We really need to get signing another creative central midfielder type.

    I fancy Leicester to have a good season if they can keep the defence fit. As Jimmy said there are going to be teams that just play loads more minutes than the rest, and Leicester have no European games and barely anyone of note going to the world cup. Just Tielemans I think? And that man would be quite happy sustaining 10mph all year round anyway.

    I think that was more a case of downing tools until his contract got sorted rather than fatigue or pouting about Egypt losing.

    I think it was more him being knackered to be honest. He's one of those Klopp just refuses to rest at all. Sometimes to his detriment.

    Leicester must be in some deep shit, not a single signing, talk of financial problems, lot of late interest around key players and loss of Kasper. They have too much quality to get into a relegation fight but it's looking pretty grim.

    My mate is a Leicester fan and apparently it's wages that are killing them. As a percentage of revenue, the wage bill is obscene, which is why they're letting Schmeichel go.

    Yeah 90% by all accounts. Think the plan was to sell Tielemans early in the window and then shift deadwood later on and bring a couple of bodies in but no one has bid for him.

    Squad is still more than good enough to be comfortably top half. Won’t be sellling Maddison or Fofana this summer either.

    Worst player: Wood
    Unsung hero: Shelvey/Almiron
    Best signing: Pope
    Worst signing: n/a
    Will your manager last the season? Yes
    Outlandish prediction: 5th is ambitious but with Wilson playing more than 30 games or us bringing in another quality striker, I can see us challenging for CL.
    Any other thoughts? I really enjoy the idea of Newcastle do well and seeing how much hope has rushed back into the club, but I'm still not massively excited myself. I'm not 100% planning on watching on Saturday but we'll see how it goes.

    YOUR TEAM
    League Position: I optimistically went for 6th above so 6th I guess
    Best player: From what snippets I've seen of pre-season it looks like Sancho has been quite sharp I think so maybe him if he puts it together under ten Hag. Or if Ronaldo fucks off maybe it'll be back to Fernandes dragging us along by the scruff of the neck.
    Worst player: In pre-season the attack has seemed a little more cohesive but some proper garbage defending still so I assume somebody at the back will cop for this one. Probably whoever gets the nod at right back.
    Unsung hero: I think Fred is basically my favourite United player currently, bless him, so I'll say him.
    Best signing:For sheer value for money Eriksen probably won't have much to do to take this but if Wee Lizzy Martinez does enough to keep our other collection of mongs out of the centre of defence then it'll probably have been him. As low a bar as that is. Of course it's always possible our central midfield is so bad we call up Tom Huddlestone from player-coaching in the youth setup.
    Worst signing: Malacia has the whiff of a pointless signing about him to me but I say this having never seen him play and just seeing him as a sign of our lol-looking transfer policy this summer.
    Will your manager last the season? Yeah
    Outlandish prediction Ronaldo is a cunt. That's not a prediction but I haven't said it anywhere else.
    Any other thoughts? There is probably enough in the squad that if ten Hag can actually get them all together and hit the ground running we could perhaps make an actual challenge for 3rd or 4th but it relies on a lot of things coming together and some of the overpaid malcontents in the squad getting on side.

    I was thinking about Ronaldo while driving between Chertsey and Ashtead the other night, a journey featuring various non-league sides en route. More precisely, I was thinking: why would any team sign somebody who is quite nakedly motivated solely by personal milestones, while also demanding top dollar? Every single football club in the world, including Chertsey Town, can be filed into one of two camps: 'Can't Afford Ronaldo' or 'Doesn't Want Ronaldo'. That can't have been the case for many players in football history. Maybe late career Roy Keane?

    His presence at the WC in December is probably going to hold a ridiculously talented Portugal side back too.

    Bit of a sad end to his career, really. Sporting on a reduced wage probably his only ‘top level’ option now, other than staying at United with burnt bridges.

    They should get rid of him now for being a fanny, but it was still a good signing last summer.

    20. Bournemouth

    Top scorer: Erling Haaland
    Best player: Probably KDB or Haaland.
    Best manager: Potter
    First manager sacked: Fat Frank
    Best signing: Fabio Carvalho. No I'm not bitter.
    Worst signing: Richarlison
    Outlandish prediction: Bournemouth to end up with under 15 points, and Parker to walk before he's pushed.
    Any other thoughts? The World Cup is going to ruin the flow of the league and it'll be a bit shit to have no club football for such a long time again.

    Champions League
    Winner: Man City
    Runner up: Bayern
    Other semi-finalists: Liverpool and PSG
    Top scorer: Erling Haaland
    Outlandish prediction: A team manages double figures in a game in the group stage or later.

    YOUR TEAM
    League Position: 17th
    Best player: Joao Palhinha
    Worst player: Tim Ream probably. Love him but he's not cut out for the Prem and it's going to be painful to see him against Liverpool tomorrow.
    Unsung hero: Harrison Reed
    Best signing: Joao Palhinha
    Worst signing: Probably Andreas Pereira on his reputation, but I hope he proves it wrong. Looked good in pre-season, typically.
    Will your manager last the season? Yes
    Outlandish prediction We're having a cup run and winning the League Cup.
    Any other thoughts? Need (another) CB in as soon as possible for this 17th placed prediction to come true. Our business so far has actually been really good but we need a top-tier CB to make it worthwhile.
