I went for 4th, which is the aim. I think City and Pool are the top 2 while Sp**s are still slightly better than us but the gap is very very small now.

Pretty accurate tbh. I don't see much changing there. Its below those 4 where most of the unpredictable stuff is likely to happen with Chelsea and Utd state. Probably one or two of Everton, West Ham, Wolves, Watford and possibly Leicester may give them a fight for finishing in Europa places.BBC asked 24 TV pundits for their top 4 prediction.
Summary: overwhelming predictions for
City 1
Liverpool 2
Sp**s 3
Arsenal 4

Chelsea and United miss out
That’s what the pro pundits think.

Could see Sp**s challenging for the title this year but falling short as per usual. Think we will get 4th.

It's the performances and results against the would be mid table clubs that worry me. They can set themselves up well and frustrate us as we keep seeing.
Also, wtf is this ruleHowever, if the referee was about to send off the player who has given away the foul for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, they will only receive a yellow card if the attacking team takes the quick free-kick.
The substitutions is a weird one, my gut feeling is that it won't be followed at all. Players walking to the benches is just so ingrained in how the game is played.
I still feel a red card should be a red card no matter what. I guess, thinking about it though, it just gives the "victim" team an extra option so it beneficial overall. I wonder if teams will genuinely consider it.The quick-free kick is interesting as the balancing act might prove costly for the attacking team.
Imagine as we have a counter, a defender clatters into Laca with a dangerous two-footed tackle. Özil quickly takes the free kick to Auba, who gets one-on-one with teh keeper and then misses.
Instead of a sending off to oppo defender, due to that quick free kick, only a yellow will be given
During the AFCON, it was actually strange seeing the players walk off at the nearest point. It'll take some time to get used to for the fans for sure.The substitutions is a weird one, my gut feeling is that it won't be followed at all.
