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!
I cannot pretend to understand half of what is happening on this site. I am not sure I even know what a blog is really – sad, eh? I don’t possess an ipod either…..
But it all looks very impressive to me.
I think perhaps I have overestimated Newcastle, Bolton and perhaps West Ham, and maybe underestimated Aston Villa, Middlesborough and Charlton. Time will tell.
Good luck whichever path you take.
