- In my Premier League predictions i also start to think i might have put Aston Villa too low.
- About Inter Milan,i think they still have a team good enough to win the title,they just need a "20 goals per year" striker to replace Lukaku. I agree Lazio is great,but they have Champions League this year and not a bench strong enough to keep up with the double competition,so they might lose some points here and there
-About Werder Bremen,i think they have a good coach and i liked the signing of Keita and Ballo-Toure'. But you are right maybe they re too high and Eintrach Frankfurt will do better,especially if they keep Kolo Muani. Its true Bayer Leverkusen could do even better than 4th place,but Lepizg also made a good team with Xavi Simons and F.Carvalho
- In Ligue 1 i agree about Rennes,they are promising,and they will also buy Matic from Roma it seems. Also,Strasbourg seems that will get Zatrayan trough Chelsea,who seems to be a strong young Russian mildfielder. Marseille with Marcelino can do great!

About relegations,i am not expert enough about all the leagues's relegation zones,so i will make predictions only on the Premier League and Serie A ones:

Premier:
18- Wolverampthon
19- Luton
20- Shieffeld

Serie A:
18- Empoli
19- Verona
20- Frosinone

- Im not sure what to make of Villa because I feel like they have massively improved their depth but other than Diaby, they haven't actually improved their starting XI
- So Inter essentially replaced their key players as follows:
  1. Onana for Sommer (slight downgrade)
  2. Brozovic for Frattesi (slight downgrade)
  3. Skriniar for Aurel-Bisseck (big downgrade as of right now, more of a long-term signing)
  4. Lukaku for Thuram (like for like)
  5. They've lost Dzeko and havent replaced him either
So i really doubt they'll win the league. I think CL spot is very likely but the best teams on paper look like Napoli, Juve and Lazio right now

- As for Bremen they nearly got relegated last season and their main signings aren't impressive. Keita's okay, but he'll be an average player if he can even stay fit and given he's already got a long term injury pre-season he's very unlikely to have any impact. Ballo-Toure's not that good a player either. Their new player to watch out for is Lynen tbh

- Didn't know Rennes were going for Matic but that sounds interesting! Does that mean they're selling Majer?

I agree on PL but I think Luton and Everton will battle for 18th/17th. Luton are a moneyball club so I suspect all their signings will ultimately be good deals which is why I give them a chance

I'm not as familiar with Serie A - the Bundesliga's more my thing and I think it's looking like Augsburg and Bochum could go down but i'm also not expecting much from Darmstadt

Its also true that Skriniar from January basically never played for Inter Milan as titular,because he was injured,so they reached the CL final with Acerbi,Darmian,Bastoni as titular defenders. Yes Acerbi and Darmian are old,but its a good defense. Brozovic was also injured most of the times last year,and they often played with Calanoglu-Barella-Mkitharyan in midifield. So i think they're good in defense and midfield,but they need someone who can score a lot of goals. Lautaro and Thuram are good but they are not enough yet. Napoli is favorite to win Serie A,if they keep Osimhen like it seems they will,but in the end i think Inter can win.

Yes,Rennes is going for Matic,it seems he wants to leave Rome for personal reasons,its not a technical choice. But Roma asks for some money to Rennes so maybe they will sell some player before buying him,its possible!
