Player Valuation: £100m
Usually a thread pops up doing this every year but I don't see one yet so I'll start it off. My guesses:
1. City
2. United
3. Chelsea
4. RS
5. Leicester
6. Villa
7. Spurs
8. Brighton
9. Arsenal
10. West Ham
11. Everton
12. Leeds
13. Crystal Palace
14. Brentford
15. Wolves
16. Saints
17. Burnley
18. Newcastle
19. Watford
20. Norwich
I really have no clue from 5 to 12. I think every team in there can have a run at Europe if things break right and could even finish below a few of the teams in the teens if everything goes wrong. I hate the Watford and Norwich squads and think they'll 100% be in trouble. I'm hoping Brentford can be just quirky enough to survive but it wouldn't stun me if it was a three up, three down scenario. Top four seems pretty separate from everyone else.
Throw in some bonus predictions if you feel like. I've got:
POTY: Kane if he joins City, if not Fernandes
YPOTY: Havertz although it is hard to win that award when you aren't British so Sancho as a fallback
Harry Maguire award for player written off as a total waste of money because everyone wanted to bantz his club's insufferable supporters but is actually decent: Thiago
MOTY: If Villa actually get 6th it'll be Smith I think
Comeback Player of the Year: Virgil and his miraculous recovery (this one is nailed on, it's a shame the EPL hasn't stolen this award from America yet)
Best XI for the season:
GK: Ederson
DEF: Cancelo, Dias, Van Dijk, Digne (I'll be positive about this solitary Everton thing)
MID: KDB, Fernandes, Grealish
ATT: Havertz, Salah, Kane (if he joins City, Rom otherwise)
Thanks to anyone who bothered to read any or all of that. I do actually enjoy seeing what people think so have at it.
