The football season is now only a few days away, and as such the LoVS writers have been tasked to put their credibility on the line and give their predictions for the year of football to come. Once the season is over and all the results are in, we'll gather them all up and see who did best!
Last season, I got such things as Burton being promoted and Sheffield Wednesday getting to the Play-Off final right. I also predicted that Leicester City would get relegated (sorry Claudio). Anyway, here are my predictions for the 2016/2017 season:
League One Winners: Millwall
Second Place: Charlton
Play-off winners: Bolton Wanderers (why not)
Three relegated teams: Chesterfield, Shrewsbury, Oldham Athletic
Top Goal Scorer: Paddy Madden
Best Player: Zach Clough
Surprise Team: AFC Wimbledon
-
Championship Winners: Newcastle by a country mile. Wouldn't be surprised if they got 100+ points. They've spent £42 million, it's promotion or bust.
Second Place: Aston Villa
Play-off Winners: Sheffield Wednesday
Three relegated teams: Reading, Fulham and Barnsley
-
Premier League Winners: Manchester City
2nd, 3rd, 4th: Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea
Three relegated teams: Hull City, Burnley and Crystal Palace
Top goal scorer: Surely Sergio Aguero
Best player: Eden Hazard
New signing who will flop: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
New signing who will succeed: Ilkay Gundogan
Surprise Team: Bournemouth
-
Champions League Winner: A Manchester club
Runner Up: A Madrid club
Top Goal scorer: Cristiano Ronaldo
La Liga Winners: Barcelona
Bundesliga Winners: Bayern Munich
Serie A Winners: Juventus
Ligue 1 Winners: PSG
Eredivise Winners: Ajax
Who'll score more, Messi or Ronaldo?: Messi

Your own bonus prediction: Wigan to stay up on the last day of the season like they always do.
