Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 38 Update


Hiya, PPPers - we've reached the end of an extra long and extra weird Premier League season finally. Now, that doesn't mean that the season is over, mind you, so I thought I'd update the standings before we get into a busy schedule including the Cup Final tomorrow, the Championship Playoff final on Tuesday and the Europa League and Champions League knock-out rounds starting later in the week.

Liverpool are champions, with City, United, Chelsea and Leicester definitely joining them in Europe. the other possible Europa League slots are still to be determined, though. At the bottom, Bournemouth, Watford and poor old Norwich were relegated. In the Championship, my beloved Leeds (champions!) and WBA were promoted automatically, while Brentford and Fulham will play for the playoff promotion spot in the most lucrative football match on the planet on Tuesday afternoon.

In Europe, Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich claimed the title in their respective leagues. Jamie Vardy claimed the Golden Boot title, with 23 goals, just edging out Pierre Emerick Aubameyang on 22 goals. Kevin de Bruyne ran away with the assist award, with 20. 

As you'll see below, that means that our current champion MOT the Hoople is in pole position on 42 points to retain the Shield for another season. He's out of the Cup but has picked Roma in the EL and City in the CL, so he could still pick up points there. His nearest competitor, Swansong, could pick up 2 points for a Chelsea loss tomorrow and six points for a Barca win in the CL, which would put him over the top with 45 points. It should be riveting.

So, here are the current standings:

1. MOT the Hoople - 42 points
2. Swansong - 37 pts
3. West Ham Rising - 34 pts
4. Blue Devil - 32 pts
-   Someone Said - 32 pts
6. What's Up Wheaton Simon - 25 pts
7. Man Utd Rules - 24 pts
8. The Bee's Knees - 22 pts
-   Pink Kits - 22 pts
10. United We Stand - 19 pts
11. Yellows - 17 pts
12. Gooner71 - 16 pts
-   Red Devil 1FCK  -16 pts
14. Red Dragon - 15 pts
15. The Saint - 14 pts

The Cup final is key in the PPP race. If Chelsea wins then as Bob stated Swan Song is in a three point lead with 45 points. with Someone in third place on 40 points. If the Gunners win the Cup then Bob is tied for first place with fellow LUFC fan, MOT where they really will be MOT. It all comes down to the CL and EL were PPPeres picked Citeh and Barca to win and the EL where MOT picked Roma and WHR picked United.
