Your hot take: Marco Silva

Europa Spots: Chelsea, Newcastle, Tottenham (see above)
FA Cup Winner: Chelsea
Carabao Winner: Liverpool
Champions League Winner: Bodo/Glimt
Europa League Winner: Man Utd (although depends heavily on who drops down from the CL, if that is still a thing that happens. For example if either Bodo or Glimt were to drop down one might win the CL and the other the EL)

PL Golden Boot: Haaland
PL Golden Glove: Onana (despite it being a complete mystery how)
PL Player of the Season: Saka
PL Young Player of the Season: Saka (since half the nominees last year were in their mid 20s)

Player that will surprise people: Diallo
Signing of the season: I've just looked through all the signings for each team and...none of them? De Ligt?
Flop signing: Whichever one Chelsea end up paying the most money for
Relegated teams: Leicester, Southampton, Bournemouth

First manager sacking: The Leicester one
Your hot take: Aston Villa is not a real place and should be renamed to "M6/A38 Interchange Rovers"

Player that will surprise people: Leon Bailey. Think he was inconsistent last season and fought with Diaby for minutes. But he's got the talent to be very good and had a great final quarter of the season
Signing of the season: Emile Smith Rowe if he stays injury free.

Your hot take: it's going to be poor stuff. There are way too many games first, and then most follow the same pattern - one team sitting in, the other struggling to break them down while passing at the edge of the box. I expect this to be the last season before top teams evolve to looking for a big man up top as an aerial threat to offer a different option. Football is becoming crap, it's going to get worse.
