With
the start of the new season is less than 5 days away, The Writer tells the
readers about his predictions and the players who will shine. This is original opinions, needless to say...
ARSENAL
Where Will They Finish?
Around 3rd to 5th place as long as they still don’t buy a top class striker.
Key Player
It
has to be Aaron Ramsey. Improve his performance dramatically last
season and the improved amount of goals he scored makes him a
world-class to
be.
New Signing to Watch
Everyone
talks about Alexis Sanchez. But look out for Mathieu Debuchy. He plays
like Sagna (Bacary), runs like Sagna, a Frenchman like Sagna, and
Arsenal will not miss Sagna anymore.
ASTON VILLA
Where Will They Finish?
Around 17th to 19th place unless some rich owner buy the club and invest.
Key Player
It has to be Darren Bent. Bent needs to score many goals as Villa’s strength is surely not at their defense.
New Signing to Watch
Joe Cole joins Villa to have one last hurrah at football and Villa fans are hopeful and desperate to see his Brazilian skills of old.
BURNLEY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 14th to 16th place as they will need their inspirational manager, Sean Dyche to motivate them all season.
Key Player
Danny
Ings have finally succeeded in replacing Burnley’ former prolific
goalscorer, Charlie Austin who has gone to QPR. He is selfish in a good
way, just like Daniel Sturridge.
New Signing to Watch
Sean
Dyche doesn’t like to sign a nobody just for the sake of filling up his
squad. So expect Michael Kightly to excel on the wing for Burnley.
CHELSEA
Where Will They Finish?
Around 1st to 3rd place as they look like the best assembled team in the league.
Key Player
With
Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole already left, Chelsea lacks senior heads and John
Terry has to be more influential than ever this season.
New Signing to Watch
Chelsea
should win the EPL title last season if not because of their lack of
goals. Expect Diego Costa to be among the top highest goal
scorers this campaign.
CRYSTAL PALACE
Where Will They Finish?
Around 12th to 14th place and no more relegation battle as Tony Pullis never get relegated in his career.
Key Player
Yannick
Bolasie was excellent last season and it made The Writer wonder of
how Manchester United decided to sign Wilfried Zaha instead of him.
New Signing to Watch
No one really. All signings so far are not a first eleven type of players, so Pullis have to act faster and smarter to bring fresh bloods.
EVERTON
Where Will They Finish?
Around 6th to 8th place as Roberto Martinez will maintain their last season stability.
Key Player
This
season is the moment when Ross Barkley should really step up. He is no longer the
youth player to watch at Everton as he should be the main man.
New Signing to Watch
Romelu
Lukaku is not new at Goodison Park but a permanent transfer to Everton
this season will give him more stable platform to score more goals.
HULL CITY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 9th to 11th place as they will have to juggle between league and Europa league’s commitment.
Key Player
Tom Huddlestone needs to boss the midfield just like last season and his thunderous shots are assets.
New Signing to Watch
Tom
Ince rejected Inter Milan to join Hull City as he wants to be the key
player instead of having to seat on the substitute bench.
LEICESTER CITY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 18th to 20th place as they will have the most difficult task to avoid relegation.
Key Player
England one-cap wonder, David Nugent is still a specialist goal getter. Leicester will supply him with all the services to win matches throughout the season.
New Signing to Watch
Leonardo
Ulloa is a unique name and hopefully is unique enough to score a lot of
goals compared to other average name strikers who have average
goalscoring
records.
LIVERPOOL
Where Will They Finish?
Around 3rd to 5th place as they will feel the loss of Luis Suarez too hard to bear.
Key Player
Goals are vital for Liverpool’s resurgence to 2nd place last season and Daniel Sturridge will improve his last season goal tally of 21
and beat Suarez’s record of 31.
New Signing to Watch
The
Writer has explained on several Liverpool new signings before but not Javier Manquillo. He gave a confident performance against Borrusia
Dortmund
last Sunday and has surprised everyone since. He is a very very speedy player and is
not afraid to bomb forward just like Daniel Alves of Barcelona.
MANCHESTER CITY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 1st to 2nd place as the winner of last season will maintain their superiority against most leagues’ opponents.
Key Player
It
has to be Vincent Kompany. There are many City players that can replace
Yaya Toure in case he is out injured, but no one can replace Kompany
as City’s defense will leak goals and City will have higher chance of
losing if Kompany is unavailable.
New Signing to Watch
A
32 million euro signing is quite a normal thins these days, only if people know his ability and the
man himself, but Eliquim Mangala is an unknown quantity for most English
Premier League fans.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Where Will They Finish?
Around 3rd to 4th place as Louis van Gaal will bring back the winning ways to Old Trafford but they lack world-class players compared to Chelsea and Manchester City.
Key Player
Wayne
Rooney will be the new captain of both Manchester United and England if
he is lucky enough and thus need to score more goals as Robin van
Persie becoming a more frequent visitor to the doctor’s room these days.
New Signing to Watch
Ander
Herrera is a lesser known new name compared to Luke Shaw but he is the
next batch of Spanish midfielders to replace the legacy of Xavi and
Andres Iniesta.
NEWCASTLE UNITED
Where Will They Finish?
Around 7th to 9th place as they will maintain the push of a Europa league placing.
Key Player
It
should be Hatem Ben Arfa but for whatever reasons, he is on his way out
of the club. Fabricio Collocini is the next best player who needs to marshal the defense tighter after the loss of Mathieu Debuchy to
Arsenal.
New Signing to Watch
The
appointment of new signing, Siem de Jong to the vice captaincy role is
an indicator of how special he is, on and off the pitch.
QUEENS PARK RANGERS
Where Will They Finish?
Around 10th to 13th place as Harry ‘The Houdini’ Redknapp will wave his magic once more to stabilize QPR from last two season’s
disaster.
Key Player
Joey
Barton is an improved human being and despite his bad behavior, he is a leader
of men. He made QPR a better unit last season after almost being
kicked-out
of the club.
New Signing to Watch
Who is more popular to watch than Rio Ferdinand? He will be a better Ferdinand to play for QPR than his younger brother, Anton.
SOUTHAMPTON
Where Will They Finish?
Around 14th to 17th place as they will be badly affected from the huge sales of first team players this transfer window.
Key Player
Who
else is left? Erm, Jose Fonte is the only good player who is not linked
to any clubs and therefore will be most surely to lead Southampton to
fight relegation.
New Signing to Watch
Graziano
Pelle is living the dream to play in the most popular league in the
world after his sudden emergence into the football map by netting numerous
amounts of goals for Feyenord in the Dutch league last season.
STOKE CITY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 10th to 12th place as Mark Hughes will keep Stoke safe once more this season.
Key Player
Ryan
Shawcross is a warrior and is the sole reason alongside his partner
Robert Huth that makes Stoke famous for their great defense. Should be
going with England to the World Cup in Brazil last June.
New Signing to Watch
Stoke
excites their fans by capturing former young superstar, Bojan Krkic
from Barcelona. The Writer likes Bojan and hope he will make EPL his
home
for a long time.
SUNDERLAND
Where Will They Finish?
Around 15th to 17th place as they will struggle again in the relegation battle.
Key Player
Best
players for Sunderland last season were actually on loan from other
clubs. The next best thing there should be Lee Cattermole. Their former captain.
New Signing to Watch
With
Phil Bardsley already left the club, it is up to the new signing, Billy Jones
to continue what Bardsley did all these years on the right flank. And he has to like scoring, just like Bardsley.
SWANSEA CITY
Where Will They Finish?
Around 11th to 14th place as Garry Monk being promoted as the new manager of the club he played for last season.
Key Player
Willfried Bony. Full stop. Unless he moves somewhere else, Swansea has to replace his goalscoring prowess.
New Signing to Watch
Gylfi
Sigurdsson roles back the years after he rejoins Swansea this season.
The Writer clearly remembered his great impact at Swansea two seasons
back before he joined Spurs.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
Where Will They Finish?
Around 5th to 7th as new manager, Mauricio Pochettino will have to take this new season as a trial before mounting more serious
challenge next season.
Key Player
Goals
are the different between success and failure in this league, no matter
how creative your midfielders are. Emmanuel Adebayor is the one to
rely on, luckily.
New Signing to Watch
It
is a rapid rise for Ben Davies after he manages to get a transfer to
Spurs this summer, considering he is only replacing Swansea’s injured
first
choice left back last season.
WEST BROMWICH ALBION
Where Will They Finish?
Around 18th to 20th as they lack top class players and also manager that can really excel in this league.
Key Player
Ben Foster is only player capable to save West Brom from relegation with his goal saving performances.
New Signing to Watch
West
Brom manages to at least cheer up their fans by signing former England
centre back, Joleon Lescott. If Lescott can perform for his new team,
he will back in the white shirt of England.
WEST HAM
Where Will They Finish?
Around 18th to 20th place as the abuse from their own fans for boring style of play will pressurize the players to succeed.
Key Player
The
unlucky and often-injured Andy Carroll should be West Ham main man
because he suits their tactics perfectly but club’s captain, Kevin Nolan
has to pump up his teammates’ spirit to avoid any move back to the
lower division.
New Signing to Watch
West
Ham fans are still skeptical about the manager’s preferred style of
play but they are all eager to see new signing, Mauro Zarate to provide
the fancy footworks, skills, and last but not least, GOALS!
