The Unicursal Blog

Putting the Laceyleague predictions for the new season into the spreadsheet I use to calculate the points I couldn’t resist a little analysis. Taking the average predicted positions (in brackets) of the 18 entries gives the following table.

1 Chelsea (1.22)
2 Liverpool (2.39)
3 Manchester United (3.22)
4 Arsenal (3.61)
5 Tottenham Hotspur (5.39)
6 West Ham United (7.94)
7 Newcastle United (8.00)
8 Everton (8.33)
9 Blackburn Rovers (8.39)
10 Bolton Wanderers (9.50)
11 Aston Villa (11.78)
12 Middlesborough (12.67)
13 Charlton Athletic (13.67)
14 Portsmouth (13.72)
15 Wigan Athletic (14.11)
16 Manchester City (14.22)
17 Fulham (16.06)
18 Reading (18.50)
19 Sheffield United (18.56)
20 Watford (18.72)

Interesting. There must be a lot of optimistic West Ham supporters among the entries!
