  • Dalbert (23/82): no change
  • Serge Aurier (23/90): no change
  • Bernardo Silva (22/89): no change
  • Malang Sarr (17/75): +2
  • Lorenzo Callegari (18/73): no change

^ Nice (Damo's rises).

Ligue 1, eh?

I hope Rabiot and Kurzawa get plus ones. Don't think Lacazette or Fekir will get anything. Mammana + 1 i guess. Nkunku might not get anything, perhaps + 1. Then there's Edouard and Diop (at Hereford currently). +5 for both of them wouldn't be unrealistic. Jesé can feck off.
Ye, nice. They seem generous. So i think Rabiot will get + 1 but i'm not so sure about Kurzawa.
Kurzawa didn't get anything which is fine. Nothing for Lacazette or Fekir (the latter ought to have + 1 considering how generous they've been..). Neither for Mammana so i'm guessing he'll be 87 end of season. Nkunku and Rabiot more than expected. Edouard +3 which was fair and Diop +5 which was awesome. Good overall. Jesé can feck off.

Rabiot (21/88): +2 to 90
Nkunku (19/77): +3 to 80
Diop (19/80): +5 to 85
Edouard (18/75): +3 to 78

K, Serie A predictions then:

Romagnoli (21/88): + 1
Bernardeschi (22/88): + 1
Clemenza (19/75): + 2
Diawara (19/85): + 1
Sensi (21/82): + 1
Kessie (19/80): + 4

Don't think the rest will get anything. Maybe Widmer + 1.

League is so competitive this season in terms of the title. Four teams with three points separating them (and 1 point separating the top 3).

Other season winners and their gap over second/fourth:



Don't think we'll see a season like 8 again. That was ridiculous.

No team has won the title two seasons in a row so reckon it'll be City or Newcastle's turn. All three are reliable on one player though (Everton: Ronaldo, Newcastle: Suarez, Man City: Aguero) so could be fecked if any of them get injured.

Subasic no change, 88
Yanga-mbiwa no change, 88

Tonight's fixtures featuring Top Four sides:

(06) Fulham vs Everton (04)

(03) Newcastle United vs Manchester United (01)
Manchester United suspended: Sergio Ramos (95)

(10) Plymouth Argyle vs Manchester City (02)
Plymouth Argyle suspended: Lazar Markovic (88)

Predictions in bold, so top four will be:

1. Manchester City (74)
2. Newcastle United (73)
3. Manchester United (71)
4. Everton (71)

And for those thinking that this could be a jinx, or I have the remotest possibility of getting a result against Newcastle:

City have the easiest fixtures so i'm thinking they'll win it but that depends on whether he'll remember to change his lineup and that :lol:

Yeah looks lined up for City win. Think favourites for the title will be in the order I've listed. All three of you have one player you can count on. My goals are too spread out between players.

Div 2 top 5 where any could be top by the end of the night.

Blackburn (1st) vs Barnsley (2nd)
Bournemouth (3rd) vs Watford (12th)
Ipswich (14th) vs Bury (4th)
Cardiff (6th) vs Derby (5th)

Tough games for Blackburn, Barnsley and Derby.

Good luck all.

I love you Damien. Thanks! Norwich City manager here, guys!
Yeah they just skipped Torino and Fiorentina :(
My rises haven't been very good at all!
Also, as I'm already outta the top 4 race, all the best to the teams fighting for the top spot! I personally would like Newcastle to win it!
