Good read (as usual).
Disagree about Pompey, Ipswich and Sunderland. They're still in this division because they are not good enough to get promoted. Also Sunderland's financial position is going to have a huge impact on their season, if their owner can't sell.
Think next season will start before the end of October, as that is when the Governments furlough scheme ends, and clubs will want to get moving before that financial cliff edge.
The author of that O/P shows some promise.

Yep, an informed and informative piece.
I really wouldn`t get your hopes up for a `Liverpool style press` system as to do it you have to have very highly technical and intelligent footballers. And very quick defenders who are excellent one on one. You have to be a very good (and super fit) team to play such a system.
The biggest exponents of it are probably Manchester City, Barcelona and Liverpool - and usually when they are playing at home and have a huge percentage of possession (an important factor). Even away from home those teams often revert to `falling into a formation` and marking space, rather than pressing hard repeatedly, and running the risk of being picked off with an accurate long pass.
Of course its poor relation `closing down from the front` has been around since year dot, and most teams play that, but it isn`t quite the same...
Just my opinion of course, but I am not top of the Forum Fantasy Premier League for nothing...

Only because you've been getting illegal help from Spud "pwned by Neil Shipperley" Junior.
Coventry away impressed me. The way they kept closing us down 3 players at a time. Didn't think they would be able to keep that up all season, looking at the table, seems I was well wrong. | |

Behoven? Have you just made that up?
Behoove is the verb and behooved is the past, or is that something to do with a horse?
