Reacting to My 2023/24 Premier League Predictions Over the Course of the Season

If you’ve read any of my Premier League Previews over the course of this season, you will know that I make Predictions for each game. Well, throughout the season, I’ve kept a record of all the results to end up with an overall League Table! I should mention that this table is done on a Points-Per-Game basis (PPG) because I’ve talked about some teams more than others (because of games being moved to midweek). So yeah, let’s see what the Table would’ve looked like had I gotten everything right!

 


20th: Sheffield United (0.41 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Sheffield United to pick up 15 points in 37 games which averaged out at 0.41 PPG! I had Sheffield U to Win 3, Draw 6, and Lose 28 and I also had them to 24 goals and concede 89! This is actually pretty accurate as not only did The Blades finish bottom of the league, but their PPG total was 0.42 so this is a positive start!

 


19th: Luton (0.50 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Luton Town to pick up 18 points in 36 games which averaged out at 0.50 PPG! I had Luton to Win 4, Draw 6, and Lose 26 and I also had them to score 41 and concede 80! Now obviously, The Hatters were ultimately relegated, but they did finish 18th with a PPG of 0.68 so they did do better than this!

 


18th: Nottingham Forest (0.84 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Nottingham Forest to pick up 32 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.84 PPG! I had Nottingham Forest to Win 8, Draw 8, and Lose 22 and I also had them to score 45 and concede 74. Interestingly, whilst Forest didn’t get Relegated (they finished 17th), they did end up with 32 points, but that was because of a points deduction (they actually averaged 0.95 PPG).

 


17th: Everton (0.92 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Everton to pick up 34 points in 37 games which averaged out at 0.92 PPG! I had Everton to Win 7, Draw 13, and Lose 17 and I also had them to score 40 and concede 57! The Toffees actually did much better than this, as they finished 15th with a PPG of 1.26 (without the deduction)!

 


16th: Burnley (0.97 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Burnley to pick up 36 points in 37 games which averaged out at 0.97 PPG! I had Burnley to Win 9, Draw 9, and Lose 19 and I also had them to score 44 and concede 59! The Clarets obviously didn’t do nearly this well as they finished 19th with an average of 0.63 PPG!

 


15th: Wolves (1.00 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Wolverhampton Wanderers to pick up 37 points in 37 games which obviously averaged out at 1.00 PPG! I had Wolves to Win 9, Draw 10, and Lose 18 and I also had them to score 46 and concede 65. Wolves did better than this in the sense that they averaged 1.21 PPG, but they only finished one place higher so I’m pleased with this!

 


14th: Fulham (1.08 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Fulham to pick up 41 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.08 PPG! I had Fulham to Win 11, Draw 8, and Lose 19 and I also had them to score 50 and concede 68! Again, I wasn’t too far off here, but The Cottagers did do slightly better than this as they finished 13th with a PPG of 1.24!

 


13th: Crystal Palace (1.11 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Crystal Palace to pick up 41 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.11 PPG! I had Palace to Win 11, Draw 8, and Lose 18 and I also had them to score 46 and concede 59! The Eagles ultimately did better than this, as their 1.29 PPG was enough for a Top 10 Finish!

 


12th: Bournemouth (1.14 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted AFC Bournemouth to pick up 42 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.14 PPG! I had Bournemouth to Win 11, Draw 9, and Lose 17 and I also had them to score 51 goals and concede 62! Whilst The Cherries did ultimately earn more points (1.26 PPG), they did finish 12th so I technically got this correct!

 


11th: Brentford (1.16 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Brentford to pick up 43 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.16 PPG! I had Brentford to Win 9, Draw 16, and Lose 12 and I also had them to score 60 and concede 64! I definitely overestimated The Bees this year as they finished 16th with a PPG of 1.03!

 


10th: West Ham (1.24 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted West Ham United to pick up 47 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.24 PPG! I had West Ham to Win 13, Draw 8, and Lose 17 and I also had them to score 63 and concede 67! The Hammers actually did slightly better than this as they finished 9th with a PPG of 1.37!

 


9th: Manchester United (1.47 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Manchester United to pick up 53 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.47 PPG! I had Man United to Win 17, Draw 2, and Lose 17 and I also had them to score 57 and concede 59! This wasn’t quite right in that United finished 8th with a PPG average of 1.58, but hey, I wasn’t that far away!

 


8th: Chelsea (1.54 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Chelsea to pick up 54 points in 35 games which averaged out at 1.54 PPG! I had Chelsea to Win 15, Draw 9, and Lose 11 and I also had them to score 50 and concede 47! The Blues obviously did better than this as they finished 6th in the league with a PPG total of 1.66.

 


7th: Brighton (1.58 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Brighton and Hove Albion to pick up 57 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.58 PPG! I had Brighton to Win 16, Draw 9, and Lose 11 and I also had them to score 74 and concede 63! This was definitely wrong as The Seagulls finished 11th with an average of 1.26 PPG and one thing to note is Brighton were top of my League for the first third of the season!

 


6th: Newcastle (1.83 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Newcastle United to pick up 66 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.83 PPG (so a big jump)! I had Newcastle to Win 20, Draw 6, and Lose 10 and I also had them to score 78 and concede 56! The Magpies may have only finished 1 place lower in “real life”, but their PPG was 0.25 less than I had them so that wasn’t particularly accurate!

 


5th: Tottenham (1.94 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Tottenham Hotspur to pick up 70 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.94 PPG! I had Tottenham to Win 21, Draw 7, and Lose 8 and I also had them to score 76 and concede 55! Spurs did actually finish 5th, but they averaged 1.74 PPG so a bit less than this!

 


4th: Aston Villa (2.05 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Aston Villa to pick up 78 points in 38 games which averaged out at 2.05 PPG! I had Aston Villa to Win 24, Draw 6, and Lose 8 and I also had them to score 89 and concede 56! Again, Villa did manage to finish 4th, but their PPG was 1.79 so that’s quite a bit less than I had them at.

 


3rd: Arsenal (2.43 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Arsenal to pick up 90 points in 37 games which averaged out at 2.43 PPG! I had Arsenal to Win 28, Draw 6, and Lose 3 and I also had them to score 102 and concede 44! This is a weird one as The Gunners finished higher than this, but with a lower PPG (2.34). Also, no team got more points than Arsenal in my table!

 


2nd: Liverpool (2.47 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Liverpool to pick up 89 points in 36 games which averaged out at 2.47 PPG! I had Liverpool to Win 28, Draw 5, and Lose 3 and I also had them to score 94 and concede 39! The Reds obviously didn’t do this well in real life, finishing third with a 2.16 PPG average, but I’ll tell you that they were very close to winning in this Predictions League!

 


1st: Manchester City (2.49 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Manchester City to pick up 87 points in 35 games which averaged out at 2.49 PPG! I had Man City to Win 28, Draw 3, and Lose 4 and I also had them to score 92 and concede 51! City obviously won the league in real-life, but with a PPG of 2.39 so slightly less than this!
