EPL: let's predict the final ranking

[mattmid]

On football Weekly people said that is the way the English league often was before the EPL. A litle bit exagerated, but yes, it was less predictable then....

Everybody seems to love it.

Perhaps seen through rose tinted glasses a little. A look at the 23 years before the Premier began sees the following titles

Liverpool 11
Arsenal 3
Everton 3
Leeds 2
Derby 2
Aston Villa 1
Nottm Forest 1


Premier Years

Man United 13
Chelsea 4
Arsenal 3
Man City 2
Blackburn R 1



So, 7 different teams won it rather than 5, two teams were just once, whilst Derby's were both in the early 70's before Liverpool's domination began. From 81-82 to 90-91 only Liverpool, Arsenal and Everton won it, so very similar to the last 10 years of just Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea.

2016/2017​

So now that the transfer window is shut it's a good time to predict the table. Safe to say no-one got last year's right.
Fair play to fib91 for getting the most relegated teams right (2), tho it has to be said that he predicted Leicester to finish bottom
