    This challenge consistently breaks my heart.

    First season I end up comfortably mid-table after a pre-season prediction of 24th.

    Season two, I'm predicted to be 18th and I finish 2nd with 85 points (basically throwing the league away in March). Lost in the first round of the play-offs. Kidderminster win the league with 90 points.

    Season three, predicted to finish 7th, finish 2nd with 90 points...Chester win the league with 107!

    Season four, just started and I'm predicted to finish 24th!? Budget has been cut, bank balance is -440k but I kept most of my team from last season. 24th? Really?? One point from my first two games, could be a long season after all...

     

     

    The predictions never match reality; they tend to be based upon club reputation and the like, which only slowly catch up to what you are doing.  It's like playing an away game against a team you haven't lost to in six tries, and still the pundits predict you are massive underdogs.  When you win the game 3-0, they act like it's the most amazing accomplishment, akin to waking up and finding a second moon in the skies.  <shrug>
