The 2015/16 before season thread (plz sticky) (okay, stuck)


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

Every year I decide I want to make a thread where we all make predictions about the forthcoming season. Every year I forget to go back at the end of the season to check how the predictions turned out. Hopefully this year will be different! :)

 

So.....

 

---- EPL and Europe ----

 

1. What's your predicted  EPL top 4? (and Chelsea's finishing place if outside top 4)

 

2. 3 EPL teams to be relegated?

 

3. Premier League Top Scorer?

 

4. Premier League Most Assists?

 

5. Player of the season in the Premier League & In Europe? (answer both)

 

6. Young player of the season Premier League? (23 and younger at start of the year)

 

7. Champions League winning team?

 

8. EPL overachieving team (relative to finances)

 

9. EPL underachieving team (as above)

 

10. EPL most improved team (based on finishing ladder position from one year to the next)

 

11. EPL biggest declining team (as above)

 

12. EPL manager of the year

 

and anything else you can think off (add it to the list)

 

 

---- Chelsea ----

 

 

1. Chelsea best player?

 

2. Chelsea top scorer?

 

3. Biggest improver?

 

4. Biggest decliner?

 

5. Surprise packet (Chelsea player who will do better than most think)

 

6. Biggest disappointment (opposite of above)

 

7. How far Chelsea will go in the Champions League (group stage, round of 16, quarters, etc)

 

8. Broadly how well Chelsea will do in the cups (FA and League)

 

9. Most over and under used Chelsea player this season

 

and anything else you can think off (add it to the list)

 

 

Note: this isn't a competition. It's just a fun way of seeing your prediction pre and post season. That said, more kudos towards those willing to make brave calls/predictions (of any kind).

4) SPURS (great season) or CITY (poor season)

8. Broadly how well Chelsea will do in the cups (FA and League)

FA CUP WIN/SEMIS

LEAGUE CUP shock defeat to a league 1 side. Either BRADFORD/WIGAN OR ROTHERHAM

9. Most over and under used Chelsea player this season

OVER- RAMIRES

UNDER- OSCAR (don't think he'll get as many appearances as we expect- could be a blessing in disguise as he usually plays 60+ a season)

BEST SIGNING- FALCAO (think he'll get 10-15 in the league and 5-10 in other comps)

WORST SIGNING- BEGOVIC (think he'll have a shocker in that shock league cup defeat to the league 1 side and a few other dodgy moments. Hope I'm wrong though

Hopefully us but Barca could be the first team to ever retain it

 

8. EPL overachieving team (relative to finances)

 

Gary Monk to continue doing at good job at Swansea

 

9. EPL underachieving team (as above)

 

West Ham to regret parting ways with Big Sam like every club does that sacks him

 

10. EPL most improved team (based on finishing ladder position from one year to the next)

 

Newcastle, just because they can't be any worse than they were under Carver. 

 

11. EPL biggest declining team (as above)

 

Southampton, don't think they'll repeat last year's heroics. 

 

12. EPL manager of the year

 

Special One

 

---- Chelsea ----

 

 

1. Chelsea best player?

 

Hazard to continue his impressive progression and add more goals to his game

 

2. Chelsea top scorer?

 

Diego

 

3. Biggest improver?

 

Oscar to finally show the consistency we crave from him 

 

4. Biggest decliner?

 

Fabregas, I don't think he'll repeat the numbers he put up last season

 

5. Surprise packet (Chelsea player who will do better than most think)

 

Neck on the line, Falcao, I think he's going to surprise a few people by scoring a few and showing he isn't a complete write off 

 

6. Biggest disappointment (opposite of above)

 

RLC to get little game time and fail to impress when he does

 

7. How far Chelsea will go in the Champions League (group stage, round of 16, quarters, etc)

 

Hopefully all the way but anywhere around the quarter finals is pot luck from then on

 

8. Broadly how well Chelsea will do in the cups (FA and League)

 

Normally have a decent cup run in one of the cups under Jose, wouldn't be surprised to see us reach at least the semi finals in one of them. Maybe retain the League Cup this year. 

 

9. Most over and under used Chelsea player this season

 

Under used to be Zouma, especially if we do sign Stones

?Over used, Ramires. He'll get the nod ahead of the likes of Oscar in the bigger games despite often disappointing when he does play.

You heard it here first: 

 

Pochettino sacked first. 

 

Man Utd will finish 4th.

 

Defining factors for the top three:

 

1. Costa's hamstrings.

2. Whether city's squad can overcome Pellegrini's management

3. Coquelin not getting injured.

 

Ranieri to demand more width, then immediately change his mind and demand less width.
