No one predicted the Leicester City title last season to win, but that will happen this time?
After one season, the impossible possible in the Leicester City, you can be a folly considered to try to the 2016/17 Premier League season to predict, but we want to go in any case.
Following the success of the predictions in the last year, when almost all Chelsea for title glory Memphis Depay secured was said to be the best new company and foxes Claudio Ranieri are alarmed by falling five British writer Vavel back for more the new season, which starts on Saturday discussed.
So, without further ado, here are the thoughts of Oliver Emmerson, Charlie Malam, Sam France, Amee Ruszkai and Sam Smith (no, not the singer) in the next season.
To the victor, the spoils. Who do you support for the title?
OE: I'd love to sit here and say that by the deeds of the past year won by Leicester City, one of 20 teams Rad David Moyes with Sunderland, Hull City managerless for the trophy do the impossible, or even Sean Dyche. Burnley Top - Finish. But despite the incredible power of Leicester, I believe, be a little longer than usual this season, and saw three challengers clear title Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City. Everything has a clear advantage over the other Chelsea Europe has no distractions States have a manager who knows the league, while the city is undoubtedly the best side. I think Chelsea will push hard, but falls a little short to leave the title a direct fight between the two Manchester clubs. Some have suggested that it will take several years, left their mark for Jose Mourinho, but made before an immediate impact for some teams, so it would not bet against him, but I need the city Pep Guardiola to go. The best coach in the world combined with one of the best teams, with a fantastic companies who are struggling with the trophy. Arsenal could go close with one or two signings, never heard? One can say never never with Liverpool, but must be made too early for them under Jürgen Klopp my opinion in question a year and Tottenham Hotspur hopes only the first four places to do it again as they look to return to the front Champions ,
CM: It is an exaggerated cliché, but the Premier League this year is unpredictable. What makes it fun for me because I am here to try to predict. That is, at this stage, my advice has Manchester City. I - like many others - Rate pioneer Pep Guardiola incredibly high, and I think that the resources and equipment available, is the city in style relentlessly carried out not to form last season. They brought an incredible potential in Leroy Sane and I just thought, on the other hand, Guardiola both players already get in the club, especially the likes of Raheem Sterling. Of course there is a lot of competition, so it will be easy for Guardiola and the city, and I think their closest rivals to be their biggest rivals, Manchester United. There are question marks on the price tag Paul Pogba (when the agreement on the line finally gets, that is) and a lot of waiting, but the sums with Jose Mourinho as manager to help a lot in themselves and unfortunately will save his ridicule , the third place behind the two Manchester sometimes under Louis van Gaal will in the meantime, Antonio Conte Chelsea in a robust, very well maintained and they are my advice - to join clubs.. It would be unpleasant even to forget Arsenal, because they are very consistent in making the first four. But at the time of writing - without sufficient recruitment for the defense and the front - I do not see enough to make a title challenge last February, is as always to maintain. So we can not Tottenham Hotspur, with its excellent young Mauricio Pochettino reign of team, and there are few - each of the radars as Liverpool are a surprise in a position, but I think, have extra rides and games taking its toll on the Spurs and Liverpool still look a bit vulnerable in defense. For the defending champions Leicester City, come I see somewhere 7 to 10 Some smart summer signings were made, but also the computer will run with the European Football thin.
SS: Manchester City - Honestly, I do not think Guardiola will be very difficult to match the English game, and I think that things actually end could have with English football, rather than adapt to it. A trainer and revolutionary character, with a few sessions of star signings, can not win the Premier League at the end. I feel Chelsea and Arsenal are still far from where they would like to have at this point in terms of staff, while rivals City, Manchester United are on the side of Guardiola to highlight my favorites for the title and pay the infamous but fascinating rivalry between the city and Jose Mourinho.
SF: I do not start Manchester City at full speed for a while, but if you do, it will be difficult to stop. States will be better than last season, but for a not serious enough title fight, and I think Chelsea will be in the city closest pursuer. People do not really care about Liverpool, without speaking a European campaign, they will be there - but there are too many gaps in his team the title Olivier Giroud further confuse to lift, but Arsenal are not seen. given as a victory of the quality team during the Premier League at the time; when they go through and sign Riyad Mahrez, it will be with a shout.
AR: This is a difficult issue this year because every team seems not ready to lift the title. With most of the big guns in transition, one might even say that Tottenham Hotspur best placed at the head of the table at the end of the season. With Chelsea and Liverpool without European football pull down also promises to be an exciting fight for the lead. However, although many say that they do not win the Premier League in his first year, I can not Pep Guardiola and his team behind Manchester City. They have an amazing quality, depth and you can only dream of on paper, light work should make to claim the title.
Furthermore, the table on which side would be the "surprise"?
OE: It is difficult to judge what a "surprise" is -chi these days. Leicester City was a surprise last season, but you could say that both were Tottenham Hotspur, Southampton and Watford, who exceeded all expectations. This season, I think it is the AFC Bournemouth be that could take more columns, as many expect. It is not what they suffered last season, as his 16th place three or four more could have been, and push away with stellar signings like Lewis Cook and Jordon Ibe, cherries Eddie Howe just places. Moreover, Callum Wilson to create back from a nightmare more goals that can only be beneficial injury.
CM: Once elected last year Newcastle United revelation to be teams, only to discover that the only surprise was the way they were under Steve McClaren, I'm worried about the -. Probably because the league is so competitive that it is difficult to interpret the out will be beyond all expectation. This year I think the team will be Southampton. Well, it could be argued that showed that all are wrong on several occasions in recent years. Already in the Europa League group thanks to ex - coach Ronald Koeman steps, I think, Claude Puel progressed well from the start and the formation of diamonds that were to pass before the season could seen can do wonders for you. Although still important players in front of Victor Wanyama, Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle lost - regularize the likes of Nathan Redmond and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and some other outstanding talents on the south coast have to see to ensure a smooth transition. Puel is a bit of an unknown entity, but he should not be underestimated in Nice last year (yes, even if it was in the Ligue 1) and the wide range of quality is available again at least one good his degree in the upper half of the table with an exciting, attacking football brand, although their ability European football and the Premier League is to juggle a say in what they get.
SS: Middlesbrough - This could be a very popular opinion as Aitor Karanka has built on the side of the dreams of all fins football. The legendary former Manchester United goalkeeper Victor Valdes and Barcelona joins Boro with the Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo. The objectives of the former Manchester City his new club lead away from the relegation zone and half of the table. Karanka is perhaps only a defender and a midfielder away to have a team to fight for a surface area of between 10 to 14 years.
SF: Everton was only able to be a good team last season by far, defend and Ronald Koeman is a better manager defender Roberto Martinez may vary success far depending on the situation Lukaku, but Koeman and Director Football Steve Walsh, started. Leicester are capable enough Gerard Deulofeu is replacing for a great season. if you can add some additional consistency to his game, can be in the league one of the best.
AR: After a potential surprise package is difficult to choose the last year's most unpredictable of seasons. I think Leicester City will cause more problems than most expected, and both Burnley and Middlesbrough can stay comfortably, but I also think that Sunderland will have a very good season. With David Moyes, recovered, will try to emulate their success and solid blocks Everton to take advantage after work last season Sam Allardyce - especially in defense. He knows how to get results and experience to transform a relegation candidates in a database of the Premier League. Allardyce departure was to take a blow to the fans, but Moyes is best for Sunderland in their attempt to move forward.
Someone has background to quit, but who?
OE: It is never a good thing to predict, but I think also followers Hull City admit that the things for them are pretty tough time. The site has been promoted on the back of the Premier League, but by the play-off, was not well planned his return to the elite who preseason even worse, as manager Steve Bruce the club leave a few weeks before the season season. The likes of Burnley, Sunderland and Watford could fight all for different reasons, but it is certainly a helmet looking in the worst position at this time.
CM: For me it is one of the two, only the absence of signatures and the improvement of the two clubs have performed since their respective actions. Hull City disaster, which, unfortunately, drawn by the owners in the dirt, the family of Assam, are the favorites around the world to support the table. Perhaps surprisingly well, I will go to Burnley 20 by the end they were not too many signings, catch bar Johann Berg Gudmundsson - captivating game Euro 2016 side of Iceland - and John Flanagan on loan from Liverpool, I think the loss of Joey Barton medium earth is is hard to beat. Sure, they have the initial support player - Championship last season Andre Gray - while George Boyd, Michael Keane (if they can keep them) and Ben Mee enough at the top among other talented are flight - but just not sufficiently improved team champions. Signature Dale Stephens or Jeff Hendrick would be a good start, but also for those couples far enough in this phase, and Sean Dyche recently admitted that "difficult" is not particularly favorable. strict limits of society Burnley in this Dyche can bite financially back.
SS: Hull City - Leicester City While it might have something to say, let the manager so close to the beginning of the season can certainly have a negative impact. The only thing that the foxes had the helmet, was that their armies were compared actually pretty decent, the weak and fragile Rota Tigers currently have and what they have been able to perform well so early in your new address. The departure of Steve Bruce was certainly no shock. The time, however, more; especially after he promised in May play-offs in the club after his successful nail biting his loyalty. A constant merry-go-round in the boardroom has eclipsed the recent progress in the field and could be the time for this charade really takes its toll on the club. None of the leading companies in the computer and a long list of injuries on the petition of a "Allam Out 'certainly condemn the list of names Tiger descent.
SF: I'm going with helmet. They are not exactly convincing in the league, to connect for much of last season, the man who was to take the goal Rafalution in Tyneside and now Harry Maguire looks like it could be on the way as well. His only company is still a teenager Peterborough, Steve Bruce is gone, and there is no obvious candidate at the time of the bank to write. A good appointment could make a U-turn, but it may be too late for them. You must act.
AR: I can not look past quarter. Everything seems to have been above highlighted that all a recipe for disaster. Injuries key players, the loss of his manager, the absence of a manager than a week before the season, no signings facts and the main findings of the team - that would be a miracle for the side in place to stay. I'm sure you will enjoy the odds against them, but the answer whether they actually have the tools to prosper, that no pressure zone appears to be no challenge.
Passing those by the Golden Boot?
OE: If the player never guaranteed to be fit for the whole season, I would Sergio Aguero Aguero say if there is a Manchester City not - player was, I Daniel Sturridge However would say to both .. probably have problems with injuries all season, especially Sturridge, so I think that the way for Harry Kane is clear to return Soulier by a second consecutive gold. Olivier Giroud threaten disappear but while Ahmed Musa Leicester City will be observed. To be top scorer, but it is still unclear whether your captain is Diego Costa, Michy Batshuayi or even Lukaku ... - Fortunately a forward support of the Chelsea top
CM: Fitness is essential for this, but I'll put my neck at risk to assist by Sergio Aguero set. He achieved three of four years 30 or more league games, scored 23 goals and beyond a frightening ability, the city of the future team - it's too easy to complete for cement as the best person in the Premier League to see. The only question is how many games you play, and with a history of injuries torrid Guardiola Bayern Munich is struggling just to Argentina to see with muscle injuries. That is, I think, again to reach the mark of 25 goals and only see competition from the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kane.
SS: Sergio Aguero - A man and a world - class level can cause problems surprisingly improve back Guardiola Kevin de Bruyne only under the guidance of, and you can certainly expect Argentina Bar 30 goals .. Zlatan Ibrahimovic could glide approach, while Harry Kane hopes to win its shape the club again and help Tottenham Hotspur to steer consecutive title in the Champions League, but will not catch Aguero account chances.
SF: If he can get his fitness upright, Pep Guardiola will do wonders for Sergio Aguero. It will go to a new level, which, since it is probably the best player in England there was arriving from Atletico Madrid, a scary thought is. Harry Kane is despite the error in the euro, but Jamie Vardy might have a harder time this time - wait Callum Wilson a good number of Bournemouth get if he can stay fit, also.
AR: Harry Kane is my cry. Spurs hope to have another storm season, with the largest international English way. There are critics in the opposite direction after Euro 2016 campaign and Fitness who like not from Sergio Aguero and Daniel Sturridge. to play every game this season than expected result, has to feed on his back another fruitful campaign Kane exceptional service.
What's next transfer will be the best newcomer?
OE: There has been this year a lot of talent in the Premier League, but that a man support a direct effect Henrikh Mkhitaryan is to add to Manchester United. Red Devils were lacking creativity and consistent objectives attacking midfielder for some time, and while Memphis Depay supposed to bring in the past year, I'm sure this old Borussia Dortmund is these last times before. Equally brilliant on the right or behind the front Mkhitaryan will terrorize defenses in the Premier League, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in front of him and can - be Paul Pogba behind him, should United - his fans very excited. Other notable calls are Pogba above and Michy Chelsea should offer. Support Further down the table, who like well they Viktor Fischer and Pierre-Emile Holjberg.
CM: For me - despite some clever signings sessions as Mkhitaryan and Granit Xhaka - Zlatan Ibrahimovic will come and make the most impact. I really think that countries will be in hand with the city over a major part of the season, eventually just lost, and in the middle of what will be the impact of Sweden. It is amazing how many say they may still be at the age of 34 years, and I believe that you have only one day in the field against some Defence soft core English teams. bad defense seems to have the Achilles heel of the English teams in Europe in recent seasons and can offer break the barrier of 15 goals, especially in the occupation of the attack, we need to support him at Old Trafford.
SS: Zlatan Ibrahimovic - city rivals showed strongly in my Replies to date is the time I gave him a little credit on the red side of the city. The doubt that the charismatic Swedish fight in the top flight of English football are ridiculous and is almost certainly one of the players to watch this season. Though it take a year in the UK, which is certainly leave a great seal, as Zlatan in the 2016/17 season.
SF: If we are not allowed to go to the left and say: Pep Guardiola is his hat thrown into the ring Marten Roon There were some - some of the best tackles and intercepting statistics in Europe, while for Atalanta last season to play and n '. golo shown edge as you. this type of player in the modern game Should Start Middlesbrough captain Grant Leadbitter store, which could lead to problems, but the Dutch it - as "a small ad *** on the ground" described - in terms of its performance prior to the season, the needle will add bite and in the middle of the park, and he can pass the ball well.
AR: There was this summer many big money move to the Premier League and is also the next season are dedicated to watch and wait to see if all of their price tags can justify. Zlatan Ibrahimovic should lighten things both on and off the field, while Michy Batshuayi is an interesting addition to the league, but the likes of Granit Xhaka, Henrik Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gündogan could cause problems with the physical aspect of England in the middle measuring field. I'll do what Sam -. You can go and say box on the left, Bartosz Kapustka, for Poland at Euro 2016 After looking the teenager seems to have everything, and is the perfect Leicester City - Player. He has the pace of work, most are not end today and has the talent and star quality to it in the future. still under the radar of interesting players, such as the lack of an amazing price tag is, control Kapustka this term.
Finally, it is your advice for PFA Player of the Year?
OE: It has Kevin de Bruyne as his Belgian support to lead Manchester City revolution Pep Guardiola season with a brilliant performance. I think it crosses in double figures for both goals and assists, almost all league games in your favorite - paper number 10, while the likes of Raheem Sterling, David Silva, Nolito and Leroy Sane for the fight papers around. The Belgian has what it takes to the football Premier League, and I would would say the city, the first four have a much easier pace, if it had been pushed for about two months from the beginning of February to the sidelines. Aguero and Mesut Özil were also in the fight, but like I said, Kun could cost think back injuries while Mesut probably need to play for a winning team, to make the decision.
CM: When the player PFA year look in recent seasons, very often come from winning team titles - or at least one of the talismans of the most successful teams (eg thought Luis Suarez of Liverpool - win 2013-14 or Gareth Bale - Tottenham then - 2012 -13 win). This helps to reduce a bit, and when I stepped back City to win the championship, I will go for a man who think I can count Guardiola to become one of the biggest stars of the city. Of course, I speak of the talented Kevin De Bruyne. It might be a bit contradictory, because I make a backup for Aguero goals galore available, but I think that the Belgian the type of player can be to inspire the city to bigger and better things Guardiola. Had it oozes class, managing somehow the superlatives in all air quality to make effortless, and the great impact it has in the first year for the Blues last season with Manuel Pellegrini by the blended be Guardiola teachings. If you regularly works in the paper No. 10, most of last season have on the left or right of an attacking midfielder spent three men who double figures for goals and help achieve the title and help the city in cloak and dagger style.
SS: Sergio Aguero - farce is perhaps the best player in the Premier League since joining from Atletico Madrid has never won the first individual award. A title, the winner for performance and boot gold will be safe enough to the attacker with both hands on the trophy of the Player of the Season Awards claim. Other contenders are Ibrahimovic, Chelsea new boy n'golo kanté and - somewhat controversial - Mesut Özil who did not get anywhere near enough credit for his achievements last season.
SF: The number of media at every opportunity the praises of Zlatan Ibrahimovic noise that suggests that the Swedes do not have much to do to get the prices for him this season jumped, but this is the year of Kevin de Bruyne. It was sensational last term, and Guardiola will bring the best out of him - I realize that say a lot, but underestimate their own risk. Liverpool has an abundance of riches in the attacking midfielder Daniel Sturridge to eat a lot, but the opportunities in the form of the 38 games of the stay are as unstable as his arms after a goal.
AR: Jürgen Klopp showed excellent basis ultimately for an exciting campaign with Liverpool this year, and Roberto Firmino is the key to success. Without European football, they affect to the Reds Rank attack and Firmino bear the burden. It is the perfect player for playing style and Klopp revealed that in the second half of last season. and to put the hard work of his team Able gates and templates available, the Brazilian a great relationship in the field with Philippe Coutinho in the implementation of the program at Anfield has play an important role this season.
