Reacting to My 2024/25 Premier League Predictions Over the Course of the Season

If you’ve read any of my 38 Premier League Previews over the course of the 2024/25 Season, you would know that I make Predictions for every game! Now that the season is over, I find it enjoyable to look back and see what the Table would’ve been had I got everything right! Also, due to certain games being moved for different reasons, I wasn’t able to predict all 380 games, so instead we use a Points Per Game ratio as that’s the fairest way to do it! With all of that said and done, it’s time to see how well (or more likely how bad) I did!

20th: Southampton (0.32 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Southampton to pick up 12 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.32 PPG! I had The Saints to win 2, draw 6, and lose 30 games whilst also scoring 23 goals and conceding 88! Amazingly, I am almost spot on with all of this, Southampton legitimately got 12 points all season and their Goal Difference in real life was only 5 better than what I’d given them! Impressive!

19th: Ipswich (0.32 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Ipswich Town to pick up 12 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.32 PPG! I didn’t have The Tractor Boys to win once, I did have them to draw 12 and lose 26 games though whilst also scoring 36 goals and conceding 82! The fact that I didn’t predict Ipswich to win once all season is absolutely insane, I was wrong there because Ipswich did win 4 games on their way to 22 points, but the did still finish 19th so I got that part correct!

18th: Leicester (0.47 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Leicester City to pick up 18 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.47 PPG! I had The Foxes to win 3, draw 9, and lose 26 games whilst also scoring 29 goals and conceding 81! Leicester did do slightly better than this, their 25 points meant they averaged out at 0.66 PPG, but they were still Relegated!

17th: Wolves (0.95 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Wolverhampton Wanderers to pick up 36 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.95 PPG! I had Wolves to win 9, draw 9, and lose 20 games whilst also scoring 54 goals and conceding 77! Wolves did actually only finish 1 place higher in 16th, but their average PPG was at 1.11 so they did better in that sense!

16th: Everton (0.95 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Everton to pick up 36 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.95 PPG! I had The Toffees to win 8, draw 12, and lose 18 games whilst also scoring 40 goals and conceding 58! Everton are definitely the team I’ve got most wrong so far as they finished 13th with an average of 1.26 PPG, so much better than I expected!

15th: West Ham (0.95 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted West Ham United to pick up 36 points in 38 games which averaged out at 0.95 PPG! I had The Hammers to win 8, draw 12, and lose 18 games whilst also scoring 49 goals and conceding 62! Firstly, West Ham finished 14th with an average of 1.13 PPG so they did do slightly better than this! Secondly, the fact I got three times on exactly the same total, separated by just 10 Goal Differences is absolutely crazy!

14th: Tottenham (1.00 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Tottenham Hotspur to pick up 38 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.00 PPG! I had Spurs to win 10, draw 8, and lose 20 games whilst also scoring 61 goals and conceding 75! Now the interesting thing about this is I got Tottenham spot on in terms of points, they did get 38 from 38, but they actually finished 3 places lower which says more about my belief in the other teams than it does Spurs’!

13th: Manchester United (1.24 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Manchester United to pick up 47 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.24 PPG! I predicted Man United to win 13, draw 8, and lose 17 games whilst also scoring 48 goals and conceding 57! Manchester United actually did worse than this, finishing 15th with an Average of 1.11 PPG, but what I find more interesting is the gap I had between 13th and 14th, like that’s a lot of points!

12th: Nottingham Forest (1.27 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Nottingham Forest to pick up 47 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.27 PPG! I predicted Forest to win 11, draw 14, and lose 12 games whilst also scoring and conceding 54 goals! I was quite a bit out with Forest, definitely my worst one yet as Nottingham Forest finished 7th with an Average of 1.71 PPG, and the fact I had them so close to Man United is kind of crazy (and also a terrible bit of predicting)!

11th: Fulham (1.39 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Fulham to pick up 53 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.39 PPG! I predicted The Cottagers to win 13, draw 14, and lose 11 games whilst also scoring 65 goals and conceding 63! Now I was nearly spot on with this, Fulham did finish 11th with 54 points, and I think this is my best Prediction yet because Fulham have been an absolute nightmare to predict this season, you never know what they’re going to do, so I think I’ve done pretty well here!

10th: Crystal Palace (1.44 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Crystal Palace to pick up 52 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.44 PPG! I predicted The Eagles to win 13, draw 13, and lose 10 games whilst also scoring 49 goals and conceding 44! This is the second time I’ve had Crystal Palace 10th in my Predictions which means I’ve been wrong both times, and I was actually slightly more positive about them here as Palace actually ended up averaging 1.39 PPG! Still, it’s all very close!

9th: Brighton (1.47 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Brighton and Hove Albion to pick up 56 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.47 PPG! I predicted The Seagulls to win 13, draw 17, and lose 8 games whilst also scoring 65 goals and conceding 55! I actually rated Brighton slightly lower than they actually turned out as they actually finished 1 place higher in 8th, with a points per game Average of 1.61! Still, I wasn’t a million miles off!

8th: Chelsea (1.53 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Chelsea to pick up 58 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.53 PPG! I predicted The Blues to win 13, draw 19, and lose 6 games whilst also scoring 71 goals and conceding 56! Chelsea is definitely my worst Prediction for a bit because they finished an awful lot higher up in 4th, averaging 1.82 PPG! That’s a big difference!

7th: Brentford (1.59 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Brentford to pick up 59 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.59 PPG! I predicted The Bees to win 16, draw 11, and lose 10 games whilst also scoring 63 goals and conceding 56! I was definitely a bit too behind Brentford at certain points this season as they ended up finishing 10th in real life, averaging 1.47 points per game! Still, a strong season for Brentford!

6th: Bournemouth (1.74 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted AFC Bournemouth to pick up 66 points in 38 games which averaged out at 1.74 PPG! I predicted The Cherries to win 19, draw 9, and lose 10 games whilst also scoring 69 goals and conceding 54! I really was on the Bournemouth hype train as their actual average of 1.47 PPG meant they finished 9th! The fact I managed to give AFC Bournemouth 10 points more in my Predictions than they actually achieved is kind of impressive (and also wrong)!

5th: Manchester City (1.78 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Manchester City to pick up 66 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.78 PPG! I predicted Man City to win 17, draw 15, and lose 5 games whilst also scoring 70 goals and conceding 53! City did end up doing slightly better than this, finishing third with a 1.87 PPG average, but it still wasn’t a good year for them!

4th: Aston Villa (1.94 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Aston Villa to pick up 70 points in 36 games which averaged out at 1.94 PPG! I predicted Villa to win 20, draw 10, and lose 6 games whilst also scoring 71 goals and conceding 45! I was slightly too confident with Aston Villa as their 0.20 worse PPG average meant they ended up finishing 6th, and out of Champions League qualification! Frustrating!

3rd: Newcastle (1.95 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Newcastle United to pick up 72 points in 37 games which averaged out at 1.95 PPG! I predicted The Magpies to win 21, draw 9, and lose 7 games whilst also scoring 83 goals and conceding 51! Now, I was again too confident in Newcastle in the sense that they finished 5th with an average of 1.74 points per game, but they did at least still make the Champions League! However, what I find very interesting is how close I have Newcastle and Aston Villa together, especially given they actually finished level on points in real life!

2nd: Arsenal (2.24 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Arsenal to pick up 83 points in 37 games which averaged out at 2.24 PPG! I predicted The Gunners to win 24, draw 11, and lose 2 games whilst also scoring 88 goals and conceding 41! So I was correct in the sense that Arsenal were “pretty comfortable” in second place, but I was still way too confident about them as they “only” averaged 1.95 PPG! That’s actually quite a big margin!

1st: Liverpool (2.62 PPG)

Over the course of the season, I predicted Liverpool to pick up 97 points in 37 games which averaged out at 2.62 PPG! I predicted The Reds to win 31, draw 4, and lose 2 games whilst also scoring 103 goals and conceding 37! Liverpool were runaway leaders, they smashed the competition, and the gap was pretty fair! However, Liverpool “only” averaged 2.21 PPG, so this is nearly my biggest gap of them all which is certainly something!
