4 wins is plausible for me also. Looking at Hull, Blackburn, reading and bristol.

Neymar is missing for qpr, so my chances there also go up a bit.

Yeah, doesnt look good. But iirc, I qualified quite early and then played the 2nd team to give them gametime. Not sure though. Its pretty bad nonetheless. And now with both Ibra and Robben out, writing on the wall pretty much. :(

No CL next year too so this was the last chance for a while. feck.
Yeah, with Ibra out, you miss a lot.

In the CL:

Ibra - 11 goals and 5 assists in 9 games (6 MOTM)

Robben's stats are similar to the ones I posted in that screenshot. He's got a goal and two assists.

Lost 3-1 to Spurs in the original league. Midtable again it seems for me.

Won the elite league at a canter.

Into the top 4 after beating Palace in the new league. Varane and Bender both sidelined with injury though.

Right, so top four predictions everybody please.

Mine:

1st. Tottenham Hotspur

3rd. Chelsea

(I think City, Forest and Arsenal will finish fifth, sixth and seventh respectively)

I'm probably going to lose all my remaining games and get relegated tbh. Not confident at all.

united should win almost all their games on paper. Arsenal only tricky game

Spuds have a slightly tricky few games, everton and villa can sneak results here and there. Arsenal last game of the season. Goal difference is low too though.

Chelsea have 3 tough games. City, Newcastle and liverpool. A few points could be dropped there.

newcastle. Well I reckon 12 points will secure 4th, and I think I can get that. Expecting a loss against chelsea, so that leaves 4 outa 5 that I should get results from.

City 5th by a whisker

Manchester City would like to send their best wishes to Wilfried Bony and Victor Ibarbo for their loans at Blackburn.

On an unrelated note Heung Min-Son has also expressed a wish to join Blackburn on loan. The club are braced for an offer.

Thanks to both JB and Damien for the loans of Aurier and Son. Aside from that 12 other players should sign permanently in the coming hours which should bump up the average rating to an acceptable level.
