Premier League 16/17

[adam]

Moving away from PL, where Danny Williams belongs, he would be an absolute beast in MLS.

He's been the best player on Reading for 2-3 years. He's now out of contract. For his sake, hope he gets picked up by a PL team. But he would be a killer signing for us. We would actually have 3 strong midfielders to rotate among our 6/8 roles.

Agreed. But unless MLS makes a change in the way they schedule; I'm getting tired of having so many players on our roster who are called out for international duty. Danny Williams staring for NYC is also Danny Williams with a regular spot on the USMNT.

So how did I do?

This is fun. Predict the final top 5 in the PL by choosing game by game.

My first and only go at it, where I went what I hope is conservative for my Reds.

1 Che 93 93
2 Tot 87 86
3 MC 78 78
4 Liv 74 76
5 Ars 73 75
6 ManU 73 69

Big miss for me was Arsenal beating ManU(re). Basically, ManU screwed me up all around. mgarbowski probably had more what I fully expected. Just didn't think anyone would end up with 75 and out of top four. But as I said, I was going conservative to protect my feelings.

1 Che 93
2 Tot 87
3 MC 76
4 Liv 76
5 ManU 72
6 Ars 70
7Eve 61

Forgot about this until Midas Mulligan just posted. I think there were 4 weeks remaining but some teas had more than 4 games left when we did this, and you generated your point totals by picking every individual game involving the top 7 teams.

Here's mine:
1 Che 93 - 93
2 Tot 87 - 86
3 MC 76 - 78
4 Liv 76 - 76
5 ManU 72 - 69
6 Ars 70 - 75
7Eve 61 - 61
It seems bith Midas and I missed the ManU/Arsenal order, but if for him it was overestimating ManU for me it was underestimating Arsenal, who finished 5 points stronger than I expected.

I got the order. Just really got whacked by mis-predicting the one game. But yeah, really underestimated Arsenal's finish.
