FIFA 13 predictions

Don't really care if FIFA has a proven track record of predicting games. Did they predict that City would almost implode against QPR and Southampton? Do they realize that anything can and will happen in every game. There is still time in the transfer window and all those players that they think teams will have, they may not have. What happens then when City don't equal the great Chelsea with 29 wins in a season? I personally don't think that City have it in them to continue their streak. Like last season they have all the players but they will falter and they can be beat. Southampton showed them that they are vulnerable on the counter and who is better at that than Arsenal and Chelsea. Yes, Arsenal didn't score jack in their opener but Chelsea had a counter attack that lasted all of 10 seconds tops with a neat goal from a defender at the end of it all. I think it was four passes from when Chelsea won the ball back in their own third to when it finished. Another problem I have is with Swansea and Everton being so low in these standings. Everton beat United. Handily. And by handily I mean that it was all Everton. Even with RvP they didn't really test Howard until the final few minutes. And FIFA was saying the RvP was going to have an immediate impact... A the real game, he had no real impact. Swansea stayed up at the end of last season, when many predicted them to go back down. They opened up their campaign with a resounding 5-0 victory. I think that we all know that it is about starting off your season on a good note. A winning note. Also, West Ham to finish below QPR?? Highly doubtful. QPR in my mind will be the first team relegated due to them getting some very good players, but not what you really need. They apparently are picking up Carvalho from Real Madrid. Good player but maybe a little past his prime. How many times did he play last season? They did pick up Bosingwa, whom Chelsea let go because he wasn't a true defender. Yes he did they job when needed but can he do it all season long, and now playing against all the same teams but with an offense that probably doesn't possess the ball so well. So that means, more defensive responsibilities. That was my rant.
