I'm getting a paywall on this article before it reaches the section on us.
- Oh, balls. I thought it was a free article. To summarize, the order is:
  
  8th - Yanited
  7th - Saudi Public Investment Fund
  6th - Chelski
  5th - Shit
  4th - Villa
  3rd - Liverpool
  2nd - Assna
  1st - Citeh
  
  Some interesting tidbits:
  
  Yanited and Tottenham are overperforming their underlyings, but the latter looks like it might actually result in real improvement
  
  Villa are simulated to have the best shot at grabbing the 4th place spot
  
  Daily reminder that Arsenal have the best non-penalty xG difference in the league (23.8, Liverpool - 15.9, City - 19.8)
  
  No worries. And hey, really appreciate the summary!
  
  I still think the spuds are going to fade as the season goes on. Maybe just wishful thinking, but their squad quality is a bit lacking in some areas, and their squad depth definitely is lacking. I am impressed with their coach though. His ability to squeeze blood out of that stone is troubling.
  
  I think Villa are in a similar position. Some very good players in some areas but not others, dubious bench depth, but a solid manager. I wonder if they will follow the same fate as we did under Emery: really good first about 18 months and then a slow disintegration.
  
  Will be interesting to see what happens to Yanaited. If Ten Haag is given time to clear out all the deadwood, I could see them coming back strong. Hopefully he isn't given time though, and they continue to struggle at least for a few more years. It's nice not having those insufferable arseholes strutting around all the time acting like they are better than everyone else.
