Burnley though. I think I said the same thing last season till about April! I know they have the lovely distraction of a Euro campaign, so a much tougher test, but they do have remarkable resilience.

Dyche and the Burnley board seem pretty pragmatic to me. I suspect that, pleased as they are to be in Europe, they won't let it jeopardise their stay in the premiership.

Rethink last season with some points in the first 7, a bit less injury and a couple of players to replace Benteke and RLC and we're there. |

Yeah the odds for top 6 are far from worthwhile considering who they'd have to displace. How can Everton only be 7s, Southampton 13s. Awful value.

Second season syndrome will see Huddersfield and Brighton both struggle. Cardiff must be favourites for the drop.

Although part of me feels SD will want to impress in Europe to engineer that big move he craves. That big move could have been Palace. Just a thought

He keeps hinting. It is a bit strange that he hasn't had any interest - perhaps clubs look at his weeks of messing about with SP, and his underwhelming time at Burnley, and decide he is too much of a risk. |

By August 31 there is a reasonable chance that we will have played 4 competitive games and they will have player 9 (as i think they avoid the opening round of League Cup). IF they do qualify for the Europa League proper the minimum number of games they will play next season is 52. They played 41 this season so it would be more than a 25% increase in matches played. As they rotate players and pick up more injuries it is hard to see it not having an impact. I also don't think Dyche is a man like Terry Venables who will treat it as a pre-season friendly and look to drop out of the competition at the earliest point. I also don't see Burnley splashing enough cash to add the quality and depth needed to match last season. |

After a very good start they had 2-3 months of pretty poor results so they are not the finished article by any measure. A very well run club however.

Looking at Burnley’s squad, I think they only need 4 or so additions to make a decent crack at the Europa league, whilst being stable in the league. The likes of Sam Vokes, Kevin Long, Scott Arfield, Charlie Taylor etc currently as back ups don’t scream quality, but they’re such a unit and so much greater than the sum of their parts that it doesn’t really matter. Also, it’s not like the majority of teams they’ll face in Europe are strong opposition, unless they make it to the later stages. They won’t be finishing 7th again, but I’d still expect 10th-14th.

Didn`t we have both a relegation avoidance calculator and a europe qualification calculator in the same season a couple of years ago?
