Money where mouths are: where will end up according to your projections?

To be revisited in May! Will be impressive if you nail a significant swing from our current position.

Brain says 5th or 6th (leaning towards 5th because Spurs are funny).

Heart says 4th.

5th unless we somehow manage to outspurs Spurs.

But we're also one more injury away from going on a run of complete and utter shite because unless Ten Hag has his perfect first eleven we play like shite.

I don't think the chasing pack will catch us, so we will stay in 6th place. Our GD may feck us over by one position, too.

6th or 7th. We're going to drop a lot of points due to our fixture list. We're 4 points behind Spurs when you factor in GD and they have a game in hand. Granted Spurs/Villa could collapse but I don't think we have enough to pass them anyway.

Whereas other teams behind us are picking up momentum and if we go through another bad patch they could conceivably catch us up. I'm thinking we'll break the 20 losses in a season (in all comps).

Hojlund's injury has made it tough for top4. I will say with the way we are playing, 6th

Sixth. We've been there or thereabouts pretty much all season it feels like. It is probably about our level.

6th but a collapse as low as 9th would be no surprise.

6th. I doubt the teams below go on a run to take advantage of any collapse we might see once CL football is clearly gone for us so motivation drops, and there's a bit of a gap there already. We won't get ahead of Spurs and Villa though.

5th or 6th depending on luck with injuries. More likely 6th

6th I see this as pretty nailed on. I can't being better than Villa or Spurs over the rest of the season, with or without injuries.

6th would be my best guess. Could be a lucky 5th but our goal difference and form doesn't really warrant more than a 6th place.

We’ll be fifth going into the final matchday with the possibility of achieving fourth but we’ll end the season sixth.

Just had a look at the order of our remaining fixtures. Few more defeats in there so 6th/7th

I think we are nailed on for 6th. With a 10 point gap ahead of us and a 7 point gap behind us.

7th

Ahead of Brighton and Newcastle.
Behind Spurs and Villa.

Not much between those 4 teams and United tbh. Grim reality.

8th. Lots of losses to come looking at our fixtures
If this means we avoid Europa and the Conference League, I’m good with this. We could do with a season where it’s just the 38 games plus the odd domestic cup game.

The teams behind are too shit to catch up. We'll fluke enough wins to comfortably finish 6th

45% fourth vs 55% fifth. We'll reel in Spurs. Not so sure about Villa

As long as we avoid the Conference league. That will be demoralising. A club of United's stature playing in a third rate competition is embarrassing
