Newcastle have been one of the most surprising teams in the EPL this season, after a change in ownership of the club Newcastle experienced an extraordinary ranking that saw them finish fourth and secure a final ticket to the Champions League. Newcastle success is certainly a threat to other teams in fighting for the EPL trophy next season, the money that the club owners have can make Newcastle stronger like Manchester City at this time.
The competition for the top four positions is increasing, Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham will fight each other at the top to become Champions. Adding a strong team will narrow the opportunities for teams that are inconsistent in maintaining their performance in the competition for the top four positions. Liverpool and Chelsea have felt how competitive the EPL is this season. They will miss next season's UCL due to not being able to maintain performance from the start of the season to the season end.
Yes, in the last few seasons the competition in the Premier League has been very competitive even though Manchester City have always managed to win the league in three consecutive seasons. But this season the competition map in the Champions League zone has also changed and Newcastle was able to surprise everyone with their achievements. With its strong financial strength, it is very likely that starting this season, The Magpies will invest heavily to increase its strength in maintaining its performance in the Premier League and Champions League.
I predict that the competition at the top next season will be even fiercer and it is possible that the points between the big teams will be very close so that every week there will be a change in position in the standings, meaning that the competition at the top is no longer dominated by just two teams.
I am not entirely sure if the competition is as big as it used to be. Leicester basically sealed the deal on that whole even smaller teams have a chance feeling, nowadays it's City that wins it, and the rest are trying to get to that second position, even while Arsenal leading all those weeks, we weren't sure if they would be able to keep it, nobody considered them as eventual champions, and that resulted with them losing a ton of money eventually and that is why I doubt that it would actually be a good thing.
Sure there could be teams better than old teams, which means that the league is more talented these days if that is what we are after, I agree that there are better teams now, but "competitive" means there needs to be a competition and nobody competes with City tbf.
