Premiership Plus Predictions Game - Week 38 Update

 

Evening, PPPers - I'm coming to you at the end of the week to update you on our standings. The Premier League wrapped up on Sunday, with Man City, somewhat predictably, clinching their fourth title in a row. Their #9 Erling Haaland finished top of the goalscorers' chart again, with 27 goals. That means that all of those who backed Man City will end up with 10 points in that slot right off the bat. 

At the bottom, Luton, Burnley and Sheffield United, the three promoted clubs from last year, went straight back down to the Championship. In the Championship, Leicester won the title and Ipswich were promoted automatically in the second slot. Four clubs went into a playoff semi final and my beloved Leeds United emerged with Southampton as victors and will play a one-off final on Sunday in what is the most financially lucrative football match on the planet every year. 

Also coming up this weekend is the FA Cup Final between the two Manchester clubs. If City win this one, they'll win another treble this year, albeit a slightly different entirely domestic treble with the league title and two cups. After this weekend, the only matches left before we jump into Euro 2024 is the Europa Conference League final between Fiorentina and Olympiacos on Wednesday, June 29 and the Champions League Final between Dortmund and Real Madrid on Saturday, June 1. 

All of that is to say that there were no changes at all this week in our table, which sits like this: 

1. Blue Devil - 48 points 

2. Bee's Knees - 47 pts

-   Teddy Goalesevelt - 47 pts

4. Man Utd Rules - 46 pts

-   Red Dragon - 46 pts

- Someone Said - 46 pts

7. oticoN - 45 pts

8. United We Stand - 42 pts

9. Gooner71 - 40 pts

10. West Ham Rising - 34 pts

11. MOT the Hoople - 31 pts

12. Red Devil 1FCK - 27 pts
