Barcelona favourites , gap widens to 2nd place Chelsea. Bayern should challenge Juve for 3rd.
Barcelona have a slightly stronger team than at the start of last year and Chelsea while also a better side have let the gap grow a little.
Bayern have a midfield and keeper to match Barcelona , although they can adjust their team to strengthen midfield if needed. Juve and Genoa have the most attacking threat outside the top 2 which should help both teams.
An overall at Real sees them behind the top 4 but the leader of the chasing pack. Anderlecht and Genoa are close enough in quality to challenge and shouldn’t lose too many outside those 4 strong top teams.
Dortmund and Bayern have great depth so if Chelsea or Barcelona have injury problems and it could happen, either has the potential to finish much higher than expected.
Last year relegation was set in stone . Less than 222.26 and you were relegated.
Napoli sadly are as good as relegated unless they can bring in a few players quickly.
They are the only team under this cut off.
D1 is now so strong a team of 90’s still leaves you in the potential relegation zone.
Hellas have a weak keeper by D1 standards and despite a potent attack ,will be in trouble. Ajax possibly a weak back 4 could lead them the wrong way despite a potent offence. Liverpool have less depth but more strength than Roma. If Liverpool fail to get off to a good start the season could soon run away from them. Roma conversly could fight back from a poor start. It will be a tough season for anyone in the lower half of the stats with a 0.2 average increase across the board for all teams.
