Looking at the previous winners Sane, Dele, Kane, Hazard, Bale he has some stepping up to do.

Sane, Jesus and Keita all more or less joint favs at 7-8/1

the age rules for that award are mad altogether. Most of the lads winning ypoty are massively experienced pros now

Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands.

Is there a joke here or are you just easily amused?
 
Reasons I fancy Liverpool for the title:
 
1 - They hammered City 3 times last season
2 - They got to the CL final, proving themselves as one of the best teams in Europe
3 - They then added to this squad with almost 200m worth of talent
4 - All of these signings address the key weaknesses in their team, to now leave them with a formidable looking squad
5 - no team has retained the PL in 10 years.

Oh come on Baggio, if you had to put your house on somebody winning the league you would go with City every time.

This has always been your MO - down play City versus other teams.

Pep has spent over £400M shaping it into his team when players like KDB, Silvia, Aguero and Ferdinhio were already there. 
Liverpool don’t have the bench that City have.

I couldn't have out it better myself.
 
City are still the team to beat.
Yes Liverpool will get closer but I still think City will win it by 5/6 points maybe more.

25 point difference last year, can Liverpool get 10-15 more points maybe, can City drop 10 points this season, yes they can.
Are both likely to happen? you'd have to give that about 25% chance probably less

Last three seasons:

Leicester were 46 points off the top of the table the season before they won the league
Chelsea were 31 points off the top of the table the season before they won the league
City were 15 points off the top of the table the season before they won the league.
 
Points gaps the previous season irrelevant in recent years.

I'm worried for Burnley. A small squad and a congested fixture list if they choose to progress in the Europa will catch up to them, it's happened before. And they've been very poor in the first 3 games thus far.

Equally worried for Bournemouth, they've done absolutely nothing to address the defensive issues which had them scrapping last season.

Saints will be 13th/15th. Tiny bit better than last season but not by much. We'll struggle for goals and I don't rate Hoedt in the slightest so hopefully the defenders beside him step up or he's dropped

There should be a point system to see who is the best, fewest points wins. Works like this:

Champions: 0 points if you pick the champs, 1 point for each position away from top your team finish (so say City finish fourth, everyone who picked them gets 3 points).
Top four: same system, so say your teams finish 1st, 5th and 7th, you 4 points (1 point for the team in 1st, 1 point for the team in 5th, 3 points for the team in 7th)
Relegation: the same system, obviously enough, so say one of the teams finishes 10th, that's 8 points.
Top scorer: the number of goals that player was off top scorer (say Kane top scores with 30 and your pick scores 23, that's 7 points, obviously)
Most assists: same deal
Players' player: winner gets 0, shortlisted players get 3 points (there are 5 of them, so that's the averag), every other player gets 6 (counted as next down).
Young player: same deal
Manager of the year: same system as the players (again there are six shortlisted managers)
First manager sacked: 0 if sacked first, 1 if sacked second, 2 if sacked third etc etc, and if not sacked, 1 more than the last sacked
FA Cup winner: 0 if winner, 1 if runner up, 2 if semi finalist etc
League Cup: the same.

And whoever gets the fewest points is the winner.

Liverpool still have the same issue when up against Man City.

First XI is equal with Man City but there is no comparison between the 2nd XI.
Man City have lost KDB for a few months and it’s no problem.
If Liverpool lost Salah for a few months it would be a major blow.

Liverpool need the first XI fit all season and on top form. About 7/8 players in that team have no competition for places.

I agree in general, City's bench attacking wise especially is stronger than Liverpool. I have heard that losing De Bruyne hasn't been a problem for City about 500 times now! It's an absolutely massive problem for them, there is no doubt at all about that.

No problem, really? They've already dropped points since his injury and haven't been anywhere near their best in two of the three games that he has missed so far.

Did they not win one each in the league last season?
And as you’ve said a few times, last season is in the past, everybody starts on Zero.
 
They played really well against Arsenal without KDB.
The point is they have Aguero / Jesus / Sterling / Mahrez / Sane and B Silva fighting for starting places. 

KDB is missed but not the same way Liverpool would miss any of their front 3.

Reasons I fancy Liverpool for the title:

2 - They got to the CL final, proving themselves as one of the best teams in Europe
3 - They then added to this squad with almost 200m worth of talent
4 - All of these signings address the key weaknesses in their team, to now leave them with a formidable looking squad
5 - no team has retained the PL in 10 years.

I don't want to poke fun or anything (these were valid choices) but this seems to be the one with the fewest "points" on the entirely arbitrary scale:

1 point for picking the league winner
1 point for picking a top four side (but not if they were champions, so you get no points for saying Liverpool would win the league and City finish second)
1 bonus point for each one correctly identified in position (e.g. naming Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool = 3 points, naming Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs = 6 points, with the bonuses)
1 point for picking each relegated side (no order bonuses because it was never clear whether you meant from bottom up or 18 down)
1/3 point for picking Aubameyang, Salah or Sane for top scorer
and 1 point for picking any other right answer thereafter, but counting Pep for manager and City for the FA Cup

It wasn't a bad effort I guess.
Mkhitaryan was a major disappointment this season as well as the major meltdown Arsenal have had in the past 6 weeks. Dropping points to Brighton, Leicester, Wolves, Palace and Everton in that period has been catastrophic. If the club doesn't win the Europa League it will go down as a disappointing season. Yes we finished on more points this season when compared to last year but the away form the past two seasons is alarming. Emery has a lot of work to do over the summer.
