Accuracy only counts predictions with a verdict. Opinions never affect it.
Most controversial takes
“Nicolas Jackson is going to do loads of good things for the team… but he’s going to miss some sitters”
“Ethan Ampadu is obviously a European level footballer. Gets in the Man Utd team immediately”
“I think Chelsea's front three are probably the best front three in the league”
“Levi Colwill is one of the most overrated footballers in the game”
“David Raya is the only good goalie in the league”
“In terms of overrated, I think I'm going to go Villa”
Latest predictions
“It’s impossible for Chelsea not to finish above United this season”
“For me it's De Zerbi or Carrick to be the first Premier League managerial sacking”
“Frank Lampard is not getting sacked by Coventry”
“Lampard won't lose to Tottenham. You can argue that he loses to anyone, but he don't lose to Tottenham”
All Rory's takes
“Any Arsenal fan that was questioning Ødegaard has got to feel very foolish nowadays”
“Palace bringing in Sage reminds me of when Bournemouth brought in Iraola. Iraola didn't win in the first nine at Bournemouth”
“Erling Haaland is a £200m player and he easily goes to Real Madrid”
“A midfield duo of Barco and Jordan Henderson is possibly the worst two central midfielders in the league”
“Liam Delap is possible the least talented centre-forward I've seen in the last 30 years”
“I don’t think Reece James gets in this team even if he’s fit”
“Adarabioyo is pony, PONY! [...] he is a League 1 player”
“Tottenham's work in this transfer window has been excellent, I think Tonali is a brilliant signing”
“Levi Colwill is one of the most overrated footballers in the game”
“Cole Palmer is going to be the most improved player because he's finally got a proper manager”
“If Arsenal don't win the Premier League, it'll be because their frontline isn't strong enough”
“Wesley Fofana is a catastrophe”
“Barcola is better than Gakpo”
“That little fella who I'm not overly fond of, that Barco kid, he's mustard!”
“Take Erling Haaland out of it […] João Pedro is the best striker in the league”
“Jordan Henderson is a great signing, if you never have to play him”
“Coventry are much bigger football club than Fulham”
“I think Liverpool are mad to let Curtis Jones go”
“Whilst I think Man City are fallible, I think there is a vulnerability to them. Enzo Maresca is completely overpromoted”
“Brentford are now a serious side. Serious club. Serious manager. Serious players”
“Ethan Ampadu is obviously a European level footballer. Gets in the Man Utd team immediately”
“Maresca isn't even comparable to Arteta”
“Youri Tielemans is an excellent signing for Man Utd”
“Eddie Howe's next job will be the next exciting progressive project, not Spurs”
“Xabi Alonso. Doesn't he look the part. Doesn't he look like an icon on that touchline”
“The second Tottenham acknowledged that Tudor was wrong, I think they've made every decision and made it correctly”
“Surely this is the year if it’s ever going to happen, James McAtee. Surely this is the moment he becomes the player we kept haring about”
“I think Leeds are going to qualify for Europe. I think they really are on for a spectacular season”
“I don't think people think Tottenham are going to have a good season, and annoyingly I think they are”
“There's one player that stays at Man City and the only reason he stays is because he's not that good anymore, and the answer is phil Foden”
“Morgan Rogers will obviously be signing of the season”
“Flop of the season - I'm going Newcastle/Woltemade”
“Wesley Fofana is symbolic of the Chelsea back-line. He's supposed to be the £80m player and I've seen nothing in him to suggest he comes close to that”
“Wesley Fofana could be in the conversation now for worst ever Chelsea signing”
“Nicolas Jackson is going to do loads of good things for the team… but he’s going to miss some sitters”
“Phil Foden is not good enough to play for Liverpool, he's not good enough to play for Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea want to be more ambitious”
“Chelsea should should Alex Scott”
“I think Chelsea's front three are probably the best front three in the league”
“At the moment the jury is out on Alexander Isak. I think he’s a class act and he’s too good to fail, I think he will come good”
“Jackson is a very good player for a club like Tottenham or Villa, he's not quite at the very top level”
“Enzo Fernández isn't a good enough footballer to play as a N0. 10, he isn't a mobile enough man to play as an 8 or 6”
“Aston Villa are going to rocket up the league now”
“Fulham have some very good players. Arbeloa bringing the boys over from Madrid. It's a good time to be a Fulham fan”
“If Arsenal don't win the league it'll be because they didn't sign Vinícius Júnior or Bradley Barcola”
“I'll tell you where Ryan Cherki goes, this is a really easy one. Real Madrid, that geezer is Real Madrid written all of it”
“Van Hecke is an elevation on Romero”
“In terms of overrated, I think I'm going to go Villa”
“Do you know who I think could have a massive season, and they kind of need him to, it's Rio Ngumoha”
“Chelsea have been linked with Alex Scott recently and I think it would be exactly the signing we need”

“And Coventry need a keeper, anyone is better than this lemon (Carl Rushworth)”
“Sangaré is a game-changing signing for Brentford”
“When Morgan Rogers is on the ball he's one of the best players on the pitch, off the ball he's one of the worst players on the pitch”
“Arsenal's front-line, there isn't enough cut and thrust to it”
“Robert Sánchez was a real problem, but I'm not sure that Emi Martínez has solved it”
“Arsenal had a near-perfect window with one major flaw {...} they've let goals go and not replaced them”
“I don't believe Victor Gyökeres has solved the problem he came to solve”
