The Big 6 Strikes back

 

As per our normal tradition, the footiefantasy team “runs the rule” on our predictions and expectations for the Top 6 teams and relegation teams for next season:

Ayo

Winner – I think Man City will come back stronger because I expect Aguero to have a big final season and City to sign Koulibaly. Their weakness down the middle and lack of a commanding 1-1 defender can be solved with the Koulibaly signature.

2nd place – Liverpool should be just as strong but the league will be more competitive this season and they should drop more points than last season and will be in a title race with Man City. I suspect they can’t match the same level of intensity

3rd – Chelsea strengthened significantly in attack with the addition of Werner, Ziyech, Havertz to add to Pulisic. I expect them to score significantly more goals, however, the challenge will be how Thiago S. adapts to the EPL and finding the 3rd midfielder to pair with Kante and Havertz to provide that right contrast for balance

4th – I expect United to just make 4th based on current standings, the addition of Sancho should put them in the conversation for 3rd. Just like last season, I think it will be a slugfest with 1 or 2 teams for this position.

5th – I expect Arsenal to be more organized and create more chances, but they still lack quality in-depth for a proper midfield enforcer, if they manage to wrap up the Partey there will be a party and propel them to 4th.

6th – Wolves without Europe and can focus on 1 game per week makes them a dangerous proposition

Relegation  – I tip Fulham, West Brom, and Aston Villa to go down
