Who's gonna win EPL next year?
Who's gonna win Bundesliga?


chelsea or city most likely - maybe united or arsenal or liverpool...
bayern or dortmund most likely - maybe leverkusen or schalke or wolfsburg...
madrid or barcelona most likely - maybe atletico...

just look at how many different clubs have actually won the bundesliga, how many have won la liga and how many have won the premier league...

yes, bayern are probably the biggest favourites amongst them but this is football, you never know.

i'm the last person not to admit that last season was boring and i'd hate if bayern continue to dominate like this but...
seeing how english top clubs have become the plaything of foreign sugar daddies, seeing how their national team performs because their talented youth players rarely get a chance to develop and play, seeing how the big spanish clubs completely destroy the transfer market and basically live at the cost of the small clubs i have to say that's a small price to pay and i wouldn't change it just to be able to say i'm fan of the "most attractive" or "most watched" league in the world. but to each their own ofc...

sure, from a foreigner's perspective it's a good developement but imagine you were english and actually cared about your national team or your club's tradition...
but well, who am i kidding, this forum is certainly not the right place to talk about that kind of stuff, a quick look at the "official fan list" thread says it all...

Uhhhh If you're going to use Wolfsburg, Leverkusen or Schalke as title contenders you might as well say that Crystal Palace or Hull win win the Premier league.



I'd say 95% chance of Bayern winning, 4% Dortmund and 1% on the last team.


EPL is like.. City 25%, Chelsea 25%..

In all fairness, Southampton has decent economics and are not forced to sell their players, but they chose to accept these offers (Lallana, Shaw, Lambert) which caused a chain reaction of players wanting to leave due to lack of ambition -> Schneiderlin/Lovren/possibly Jay Rodriguez

nah, it's like saying liverpool, tottenham or everton in terms of percentages maybe... and i already said bayern are probably the biggest favourites, no need to make up completely random and stupid numbers...
and nice dodge on the other part...

Wasn't a dodge but if neither Dortmund nor Bayern win bundesliga this year I will almost literally do anything you ask of me (within reason) i.e. sig/avatar of your choosing, leave the forum, etc..

If we look at past winners, Ligue 1 is pretty much second to none. Up until 1 or 2 years ago they had 6 different winners in the last 6 years. But would you bet on neither PSG nor Monaco winning Ligue 1?

City and Chelsea are now both committed to comply with FFP rules, so that's another argument of yours invalid.
