i agree, the loss to leeds was disappointing and it seems to me like morale is low, with bruno lage arguing with marsch after the game and not shaking his hand, their club captain going on loan to everton is also a very concerning and confusing transfer. i think somethings going on behind the scenes. and with jimenez out for months now they're going to struggle to score goals.
they massively overperformed their underlying numbers last year, which is why i think they'e going to regress quite a bit this year. they've also got naff all squad depth, they get like 2 injuries and they're knacked like leeds were last year
I think you're going to Brentford... Ivan Toney is a solid mid table level striker and I believe in the Danish dudes to get the job done (Damsgaard is apparently joining which is good). Also, I think Leeds is way above where they'll end up. They barely escaped relegation last season and sold their 2 best players. I don't believe that the US takeover is gonna work out unfortunetely
damsgaard is overrated because everyone remembers his free kick at the euros. his denmark record is very good and hes only 22 so hes got potential, hes also very versatile which i like but only 6 goal contributions in 49 games for sampdoria... eriksen is also a big loss and other than ben mee they havent brought in any experienced players, hickey and lewis-potter are decent signings but could be a bit risky? as for leeds, phillips isnt as big of a loss as everyone thinks, last season he only played 1600 minutes which is less than half the season. on top of that he was underwhelming in the last part of the season after bielsa was sacked and he picked up an injury. raphinha is a huge loss, but i think its one that they can deal with given the players they've brought in, aaronson and sinisterra really stand out as being capable of filling the void left by raphinha and sinisterra could even be a direct replacement if he performs. they had an injury crisis last season and were constantly having to play youth and have players out of position which i dont think will be a problem this season especially considering the increased squad depth. if they bring in a good left back and maybe even a top class centre back i think they'll stay up comfortably, but even if they dont its unfair to say they've gotten worse since last season based on two key players leaving, one of which wasn't even particularly good and has already been replaced.

As a Leeds season ticket holder I might be a tad biased buuuut....I think well be fine. KP only played 12 games and never reeally got match fit. Bamford played 560 minutes in total so we played with no number 9 all year which was funsies. The extra squad depth we have is huge and Aaronson I have very high hopes for.

Zealand: Second season slump for Brentford,19th place prediction Brentford literally a day after the video:Beats United 4-0 Brentford: And i took this personally
I would predict Newcastle higher at around 7th. Remember they have top players like Wilson and Trippier back from injury and finished the last 20 games of last season with the 3rd highest points tally. I think the mid-season World Cup could throw a spanner in the works for the top 6! I'd have Brighton and Palace higher, they're good footballing sides. On the other hand, I think Southampton will really struggle this season, can see Hassenhuttl getting sacked by Christmas. I'm predicting Leicester to finish bottom half due to them having a terrible window - key players are going to leave. Villa will also finish around the 14th spot. I think their transfer policy looks similar to Everton's - piss poor. And I don't rate Gerrard as a manager.
Newcastle are still missing key pieces, they'll finish 8th. Leicester have the best 11 outside of the top 6. Fofana only leaves for 100m+ (hes got 5 years left in his contract) and Youri will probably stay.
@@chrisseal3677 Yeah Newcastle are missing a right winger and backup striker at the moment, so just depends whether they strengthen these positions by the end of the window, I'd expect at least 1 in. I think it's 50/50 whether Fofana stays, I'd expect a fee close to £80m might do it as Leicester need money if they are to buy any players this window. I think Tielemans will probably go due to his contract expiring at the end of the season, it makes financial sense. Then there's the question of Vardy - how long does he have left in him? Players pace tends to go in their mid 30's so I'm sadly expecting his amazing goal record to start dropping off soon. Will definitely be an interesting season for them, can see it going either way tbf.
@@maxneilson They aren't in financial difficulties, but they're spending huge money on infrastructure at the moment, which really limits their budget on players. Need to sell to buy.
Brentford’s XI may not pop on paper but they’re clearly a well coached team that creates chances (xG wise they’re more than good enough to stay up) with a striker who can score at this level. I don’t have many arguments for teams like Everton and Southampton staying up over them.
I like brentfords team but beware second season syndrome lol trust me, still have heart palpitations as a Leeds fan. If you looked at how we finished our first season, with the teams we played etc, you would have assumed we'd be pushing Europe last year... In reality, our championship players overperforming got found out... Hopefully you stay up!
@@antoniobanderes5926 It's not a real thing, - When athletic did their article on it, it actually doesn't happen a lot and the most recent examples are clearly from either 1 dimension systems that get exploited like Sheffield United's overlapping CBs and Leeds man marking, or poor transfers.

Yeah I think Newcastle is gonna be the one Z, especially after you put Chris Wood ahead of Callum Wilson, who scored on the opening day btw. Just letting you know
Brentford are the one that will be way higher than your prediction, them finishing 13th was an underperformance statistically (even before Eriksen) and they regularly performed well against the big teams, with results often falling short of their performances. Also "second season syndrome" literally doesn't exist with only 15% of all relegations coming in a team's second season. On top of this they have strengthened their team with Ben Mee being a very good anti-relegation player and secure in the PL, Hickey being a very good versatile WB, Lewis-Potter showing immense talent but needs to see if he can do well in the PL, they will be closer to 13th again imo.
@Red eyed Wolf it was a statistical underperformance, that cannot be argued because it's literal fact. But yeah obviously when a team loses a player who is by far their best outfielder, they will play worse that's only logical. However I disagree I think the rest of their team would be capable of surviving in the Prem and their recruitment is so good they can probably find a good replacement and more for the money they would get for him, would be a lot tougher obviously in the short term for results.
I think your Brentford prediction is wild. A slump is feasible but they were comfortable last season. Could see a relegation battle but 19th is gonna mean you're outside their stadium come the end of the season.
If Nottingham Forest is the team you get the most wrong, I think you should have to follow up your shaming at The City Ground with a meal of shame at the United Kingdom's only Hooters location, which is conveniently located in Nottingham.
I can see you at either Goodison Park or Craven Cottage when one of them finishes 7-8 places higher than you've placed them. Let's hope it's Craven Cottage though, lol.
Good prediction but i think you've been harsh on brentford who will finish closer to 14th and too high on Wolves, who don't have enough goalscorers up top and got very lucky defensively last year (xGA overperformance)
Was making breakfast half listening and thought you said ManCity right above Southampton instead of Manscaped. Was like “wow guess he wants to see the etihad on the last day”
When FM23 launches, it will be really interesting to just sim it a few times & see where things shake out. FM22 always has Man Utd coming back strong, & City seems to struggle, despite usually getting Haaland. I wonder how close it will be to Zealand's predictions.
i think second season syndrome is a myth, leeds bad season was mostly down to injuries and sheffield united over performed, lost a couple of key players whilst spending poorly and always won games by one goal margins so its easy to see how a slight decrease in quality could cause a complete meltdown. teams dont just get worse because its their second season and i think brentford havent really got much worse, their only significant loss is eriksen and theyve done decent, but slightly risky, business. they're a well drilled side and know what theyre doing
I guess you can already book the ticket to Old Trafford in May 2023 😅 No way they end this high up. Edit: I thought it was wrong by most positions in either direction, could be wrong though
@@ZealandonYT as a United fan I will stand outside Old Trafford and you can shame me if you over predicted us by the most positions. I will firm it for the fan base

Good Morning Zealand, I grew up in South West London and very happy to show you around the Brentford area come May 😅🤣😬 It would be quite handy for you as Sky Sports the main premier league broadcaster is also based in Brentford. We need to get you on Soccer AM!
Putting Aston Villa that high is criminal. Steven Gerrard is extremely overrated as a manager( won 1 out of 9 trophies at rangers) and his squad at villa is excellent which doesn’t coincide with the fact he has the same winning record as Gary neville at Valencia.
Cool spin with the public shaming for these predictions, would love to see you do some other leagues, but maybe without flying to their stadium because it could get expensive😂
Enjoy Goodison Park in a few months. This coming from a Liverpool supporter. I just think Everton does have the capability. They just need to be steered the right way. Tarkowski and Coady are going to balance the defence finally. Their players are good and just need that spark.
I can 100% guarantee you are going to villa or Brentford, its just depends how good Brentford do and how shit villa does , I reckon 16th-18th for villa and 11th-14th for Brentford
Lol my issues with your picks are strange, as I think the bottom half are correct... However, I think wolves, Southampton, Aston villa and Everton are all in for tough seasons. I think Southampton and wolves ownerships will have caused their problems, and I think the managerial appointments and Everton and villa will get found out. As a Leeds fan, I hope Murica ball works out for us, jury is well and truly still out. Fingers crossed 🤞
"In my opinion, a completely different tier than the teams that are in the top 5 in the league, who should all be significantly better than Manchester United this season." [laughs in bald]
Yeah, I can see why you've made those predictions. I think you're probably not far off, or even spot on, with your top 7. I do think Villa, Wolves and Leicester are going to have off seasons though, with Villa particularly low. I actually have Gerrard as the first manager to be sacked. I think Brighton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace will do better, or at least challenge for those places. Relegation, oof, I think it's going to be tight this year. I don't think Brentford are going to go down though, so I think you might be heading there!
Wolves in the top 10 this year is a SHOUT! I can't see them getting top half. I think Lage will do enough to bring the team back into reckoning, but 12-16 is their range for me.
I can see Newcastle finishing 8th below West Ham. Their form at the end of last season was excellent. They’ve recruited well over the summer. Might even finish higher.
I don't know which is gonna turn out more wrong, Brentford in 19th or Wolves (lmao) in 9th. Wolves overperformed in the first half of last season, and then slowly slid down to where they belong.
I'm just gonna throw this out there. Is there anything worse than spending all day setting up a save, scouting players, selling players, negotiating deals, contracts, firing staff, hiring staff, setting preseason up, training schedules, individual trainings, designing and researching a flawless tactic...... only to lose to a garbage team in the first game of the season and lose all interest in the save 😑
No team in the premier league has gotten more points from losing at half time apart more than Brentford, apart from Spurs and liverpool. With 5 subs coming in that's only become easier to do for us. Looking at the transfers in of Daamsgaard, KLP (the best young championship talent who shone last year despite playing for a dreadful hull), Aaron Hickey, Mee, and the Lazio GK, putting us that low seems nuts, considering you did the same last year and we never spent a single minute in the relegation zone
I am a Chelsea fan, and I predict the same thing. I do not think they will make top 4 this season unless Tuchel can get them settled very quickly. Personally, I think we are going to continue the trend from the end of last season, which is not helped by the uncertainties and turnovers in defense.
IF and only IF leceister lose and don't replace Maddison I could see you at their stadium. I like the manager and the forwards but it's a locker room that has lost its longterm leader in Schmeichel(I'll miss him always arguing to get any and every goal disallowed for any reason he can think of). If they lose the service to their forwards and the locker room goes into a kind of lurch they could be in some trouble.
I honestly have Everton to go down Lampards a fool and their recruitment has been awful for years Brentford finish around 15th. Newcastle higher they closed out last year phenomenally, Palace a little higher I just think they play good stuff super combative Leicester a lot lower they can't stop shipping goals I thinks its 20+ games since they last had a clean sheet that's just going to be worst with Kasper leaving. Wolves look shy of goals for me it's a tough one though to predict.
Predictions aren't bad at all, I have a similar feeling about Brentford although I hope I'm wrong. I'd put Villa and wolves behind Newcastle, Brighton and Palace however. Villa in particular have done nothing on the pitch since Gerrard took over to make me believe they'll finish that high up the table.
Potter should get some love. And the pick i would make is Spurs 1-2 and pool 3rd. Arsenal have a high but often with a young team you get highest high and the lowest low.
Aston Villa lost to Watford 3-2 on opening day last season and look where they both ended up. Matchday one is just one day. I think you're underselling Forest. If the new players gel (IF), they could be this season's Brentford.
look where they ended up... as in 14th, ten points off relegation and 2 wins in their last 11 (against norwich and burnley)? looks like a relegation battling club to me 🤷
I think you're going to Brentford or Wolverhampton. I don't think the "2nd season syndrome" will hit Brentford that much and I just don't see wolves doing anywhere near that good (same with Aston Villa tbh). I also think Leeds can either be in the relegation scrap or fighting for the top 10, the team is so different you can't really compare it to the previous season.
I really think that you predicted newcastle too low and will end up outside St. James' Park at the end of the season. They have been in great form and made good additions and probably will finish in 6th
As a Brentford fan I look forward to seeing you outside our Stadium at the End of the Season
As a villa fan i look forward to seeing z outside of villa park when we finish 20th
@@AngloMango yeah…10th seems a little high. Relegation battle wouldn’t surprise me, but I think you’ll stay up…and I’m a West Brom fan😉

That Damsgaard signing is going to keep them high on the table this season. I believe lol
My prediction is that Zealand wanted to visit London, so he put Brentford so low down
personally i wouldve put bournemouth in the top 4 and had a nice holiday on the beach
Why would anyone wanna do that? 🤮
For some reason, I think Wolves might struggle this season. So you might find yourself outside their stadium.
the reason being we struggle for goals and now don't have Jimenez for a couple of months, as a Wolves fan I think 9th is way too high.
agreed 15th for them

yeah, they cant score and only Jose Sa saved them from conceding far too many

I firmly believe that Brighton and Everton will have solid top 10 finishes this season. So I guess I will see you at Goodison
I agree on the Haaland, Lewa and Benzema take
When the -robot- man is -in working condition- fit there is no stopping him.
Hope you enjoy your stay in the North East of England. Newcastle will finish 7th-8th this season. Make sure to wear a Sunderland top too :P
Z picking Brentford for 19th because he wants to go visit Brentford Stadium to see Damsgaard 🤣🤣
Yeah, I can see why you've made those predictions. I think you're probably not far off, or even spot on, with your top 7.
I do think Villa, Wolves and Leicester are going to have off seasons though, with Villa particularly low. I actually have Gerrard as the first manager to be sacked. I think Brighton, Newcastle and Crystal Palace will do better, or at least challenge for those places.
Relegation, oof, I think it's going to be tight this year. I don't think Brentford are going to go down though, so I think you might be heading there!
No way Brentford goes down, that tells me you don't follow them at all. They have great coaching.
It’s called second season syndrome
I think you're gonna need to take a trip to Brentford for the end of the season.
Hi Zealand keep up the good work, from the blessed lands of England
Wolves in the top 10 this year is a SHOUT! I can't see them getting top half. I think Lage will do enough to bring the team back into reckoning, but 12-16 is their range for me.
You have to do that "United States of America" thing every single time you say it from now on, forever. It is magnificent.
Villa has some great fans. Hope you enjoy meeting them next may.
I can see Newcastle finishing 8th below West Ham. Their form at the end of last season was excellent. They’ve recruited well over the summer. Might even finish higher.
I appreciate your optimism about Southampton. As a fan, I think we may give Brentford a run for relegation.
This looks pretty good to me. So many commentators are putting teams where they finished last season
I don't know which is gonna turn out more wrong, Brentford in 19th or Wolves (lmao) in 9th. Wolves overperformed in the first half of last season, and then slowly slid down to where they belong.
Everton: We have financial problems.
*pays 33.5 Million for a player*
Midtable Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga Teams: *excuse me what the fck*
zealand, i don’t really know if you should come to Birmingham to apologize to Villa fans for guessing us to be 10th when we will get relegated…
I'm just gonna throw this out there.
Is there anything worse than spending all day setting up a save, scouting players, selling players, negotiating deals, contracts, firing staff, hiring staff, setting preseason up, training schedules, individual trainings, designing and researching a flawless tactic...... only to lose to a garbage team in the first game of the season and lose all interest in the save 😑
Putting Newcastle 11th just so he can go watch Bruno Guimaraes play live. I see you Zealand 😅
Why would you do this before the window ends? Newcastle just added Isak and have a great chance
No team in the premier league has gotten more points from losing at half time apart more than Brentford, apart from Spurs and liverpool.
With 5 subs coming in that's only become easier to do for us. Looking at the transfers in of Daamsgaard, KLP (the best young championship talent who shone last year despite playing for a dreadful hull), Aaron Hickey, Mee, and the Lazio GK, putting us that low seems nuts, considering you did the same last year and we never spent a single minute in the relegation zone
you gunna share your fpl code??
also phil Coutinho absolutely was a star player for liverpool, love the guy and hope he does well!!
His prediction Leicester: 8th
Real: 18th
Love your style and channel. I don’t follow football manager but love all the other content
You're either going to St. James Park or the Molineux
I will be super happy to see you at Stamford Bridge.
I am a Chelsea fan, and I predict the same thing. I do not think they will make top 4 this season unless Tuchel can get them settled very quickly. Personally, I think we are going to continue the trend from the end of last season, which is not helped by the uncertainties and turnovers in defense.
Cant wait to welcome you to st james park my friend
IF and only IF leceister lose and don't replace Maddison I could see you at their stadium. I like the manager and the forwards but it's a locker room that has lost its longterm leader in Schmeichel(I'll miss him always arguing to get any and every goal disallowed for any reason he can think of). If they lose the service to their forwards and the locker room goes into a kind of lurch they could be in some trouble.
@zealand remembered making this comment, I saw it coming. Reasoning wasn't dead on but outcome was.
I honestly have Everton to go down Lampards a fool and their recruitment has been awful for years Brentford finish around 15th. Newcastle higher they closed out last year phenomenally, Palace a little higher I just think they play good stuff super combative Leicester a lot lower they can't stop shipping goals I thinks its 20+ games since they last had a clean sheet that's just going to be worst with Kasper leaving. Wolves look shy of goals for me it's a tough one though to predict.
enjoy your trip to Molineux Z, they're finishing about 15th
i'm not so confident about this but i'll bring you a pint when you're outside dean court
Probably best to keep an eye on flights to Manchester 👀
Yeah becuse he messed that one up...
Predictions aren't bad at all, I have a similar feeling about Brentford although I hope I'm wrong. I'd put Villa and wolves behind Newcastle, Brighton and Palace however. Villa in particular have done nothing on the pitch since Gerrard took over to make me believe they'll finish that high up the table.
Do you base this on fm squads or watching prem footy?
As a Leicester fan, I will see you down at the King Power when we narrowly avoid relegation 😂
Potter should get some love.
And the pick i would make is Spurs 1-2 and pool 3rd. Arsenal have a high but often with a young team you get highest high and the lowest low.
Oh man well one minute in I have my pick… Brentford 😂
I reckon you'll be outside both brentford community stadium and city ground
Can't wait to see you in Bournemouth 😂 lucky it's one of the nicest towns in England!
As a Newcastle fan, I think Zealand forgot that our striker is Wilson not Wood 😂
See you at molineux in may Zealand, wolves are looking dodgy unless guedes can save them.
I think you are going to Wolves or Villa, who I think will both struggle and between the two I chose Villa Park.
Aston Villa lost to Watford 3-2 on opening day last season and look where they both ended up. Matchday one is just one day. I think you're underselling Forest. If the new players gel (IF), they could be this season's Brentford.
look where they ended up... as in 14th, ten points off relegation and 2 wins in their last 11 (against norwich and burnley)? looks like a relegation battling club to me 🤷
Oooooò, your going to be coming to Goodison Park in Liverpool,Everton so low wooahh, I can't wait to jeer you 😀!!
I think you're going to Brentford or Wolverhampton. I don't think the "2nd season syndrome" will hit Brentford that much and I just don't see wolves doing anywhere near that good (same with Aston Villa tbh). I also think Leeds can either be in the relegation scrap or fighting for the top 10, the team is so different you can't really compare it to the previous season.
I only have one question: does Zealand think that mid-August is the beginning of summer?
Brentford will have you - but its a nice club to visit. I suspect you got my lot right on the money
I really think that you predicted newcastle too low and will end up outside St. James' Park at the end of the season. They have been in great form and made good additions and probably will finish in 6th
