    I need a team. Which soccer team has a Von Miller or a Talib?

    Different sport, different body types. I think it's best to start watching a find some players that you enjoy watching, then maybe look up the history of the team. Just don't be an Arsenal fan.

    Weeknight game in a race for 3rd. West Brom is kind of hard to get up for.

    Leicester with some good luck without Vardy playing Swansea. They're awful.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    That's why Lester is in first place. They handle the bad teams. Meanwhile Arsenal has results like a 0-0 draw against teams like Sunderland who are even worse than Swansea.

    I want to blame Wenger but he's not out there playing. I would love it if Welbeck, Walcott, Giroud and Wilshire were all playing somewhere else next season. Flamini and Arteta are already goners.

    Not a bad choice dude.

    They are the Dallas cowboys.

    A well known team with a nice history, generally hated by everyone else

    It was either them or Real Madrid. Honestly...man IDK. I'll have to wait until I can catch a game. I went to Man U's site and read through their history, I thought it was cool. But that Cowboys comparison just make me sick to my stomach.

    Here are some resources:

    Your guide to picking a favorite Premier League team
    http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/08/your...-league-team-2

    ---

    If I was going to break it down for you using teams that have been in the league for the past few years and are consistently in the league...

    These are the teams that have the most money, and thus the highest chance of winning the league year after year, and the lowest chance of being relegated:

    -Manchester United
    -Manchester City
    -Chelsea
    -Arsenal

    Choosing any of those 4 teams is likely to cause you to be labeled as a bandwagoner. United have the richest history, and they are the team of those that I don't hate.

    These teams are the ones that probably won't win the league, but are usually up at least above halfway by the time the season has ended. They are the "above average" teams that might not win the league, but will likely finish in the top 8 fairly consistently:

    -Liverpool
    -Tottenham
    -Everton
    -Southampton

    Choosing one of those teams is a safe bet as it ensures you a) moderate success year after year, and b) low chance of bangwagoning. Neither would be a particularly bad choice (I am a Tottenham supporter). Liverpool has a rich history and the highest chance of being consistent title contenders; Tottenham almost always disappoint, but they are almost always on the cusp of moving up a level; Everton are like Tottenham but a lesser version; Southampton are relatively new at being upper-mid table contenders.

    These teams are mid-table at best, meaning that if they finish in the top 10, it usually means they've had a solid season. These teams may be involved in relegation battles sporadically:

    -West Ham United
    -Stoke City
    -West Bromwich Albion
    -Newcastle United
    -Swansea City
    -Crystal Palace
    -Sunderland

    Of those teams, Swansea City (the only team in the Premier League whose home stadium is not in mainland England, but in Wales), Stoke (gritty defensive mainstays who typically give trouble to the bigger teams), West Brom, and West Ham would be good choices. Avoid Newcastle and Sunderland in particular.

    Or you can jump on the Leicester City bandwagon and see where it takes you.

    So read the histories of those teams, watch some highlights on youtube, understand the playing styles, and pick which one you like best. When I first started watching I toyed around with Liverpool and Man City before I settled in with Tottenham which is the team that felt right.
