    You'd probably be better off taking them as individual bets on an exchange and trading during the season when teams go on good/bad runs.

    Decent odds but I just can't see us in the top half.

    The league is difficult to predict.

    Chelsea are clearly very strong and Conte has a history of not letting up at all.

    Mourinho put some good building blocks in place but I think they will fall short again unless their signings are a different gravy.

    Spurs are a progressive team. They have found a way to fall short in recent times but I wouldn't put it past them. A lot will depend on how they re-adjust their squad. If they can shift Sissoko, Janssen and add real quality then they will be bang there. They may lose Walker though and he is a quality. I could see Bale returning to be honest - Madrid are being linked with Ousmane Dembele and Mbappe. If they sign both, retain Ronaldo, Isco, Ascensio then things look crowded. However they may alternate him and Ronaldo through the middle. Particularly if move on Morata.

    Man City - They could very well do it. Pep hasn't gone very long not winning trophies wherever he has been. Sane, Jesus, De Bruyne, Sterling, Silva, Aguero, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Toure, Bernardo Silva. They have a nice blend of youth, peak age and experience players. If they Sanchez and Walker plus a couple more they could be utterly brutal.

    Personally though I'd watch out for Arsenal. I think they will deliberately tank the Europa League. It will be their first season without CL and additional pressure/workload. We all saw how Chelsea changed like night and day - quite simply its a massive advantage at the top. Leicester proved it too. They're about 10/1 and I think that is good value should Wenger manage to sign Lacazette and the like. The problem will come if they try to be cute and do the Europa and PL like Man U did. You have to tank it early.

    Fack me, is that your application to be a pundit on Sky Sports?
    "I think the league is likely to be won by either Chelsea, ManCity, Man Utd, Spurs or Arsenal - unless somebody 'does a Leicester' of course."

    No **** Sherlock! <laugh>

    I think I picked Arsenal after a quick assessment. I can't help ******s to compute that unfortunately :biggrin:
