Aston Villa, Norwich & Sheff Utd - Who Will Finish Highest?

[Stan]

Villa have spent the most, in fact out-spending nearly all clubs in the PL so far.

Norwich stormed the Championship last season and have had a mixed pre-season - 5 games; 2 won, 2 lost, 1 drawn.

Sheff Utd return to the PL after a 12-year absence.

Who will finish highest out of the 3?

So if I think it will be Sheffield United, Do I vote for Fulham?

Not sure what happened there

I reckon Norwich. I've changed my mind on them. I think they'll be an entertaining side who win enough to survive. I still think they're the prime candidates to get absolutely whacked occasionally but they're a really well run club.

I went with Villa, not totally sure why.  They have looked the best in preseason, and the bookies and other so called expects think they will do better than the other two.

No suprises as to why I went Villa! I believe we have the strongest squad and have more than enough to beat the drop. Norwich and Sheffield on the other hand sadly do not have the financial resources available to push on in the prem... a sad reality of top flight football!

I voted Villa, purely based on the fact that I think they've strengthened pretty well and they've also spent a fuckload. What we saw last season is that can go one of two ways: you can be the next Wolves, or you can be the next Fulham. And I suppose it's equally as likely they could be somewhere inbetween both of those. And if that's the case, I think that'd still be a pretty good season for a newly promoted side. Even if that newly promoted side is a genuinely big club.

Could see it being Norwich though as they clearly had great chemistry about their side last year and they've not tried to rock the boat too much and kept that side together mostly.

Went with Villa. Unlike Fulham they are making smart signings. They are not signing players who used to be good in the past or players that are rated highly on FM or in flavor in Europe (aka Serri).

In fairness, Wolves were practically given a quality team when they got promoted and can't see any promoted team come close to them.

Can't argue against that, in fairness. Insane how much better of a position their dodgy deal with Jorge Mendes put them in compared to their other promoted rivals.
