So what's the team to pick if you don't want to be called a bandwagon fan, but still have a team that's decent and might have a chance to win year in and year out?

Hopefully a team without a half decent goalie :sarcasm:

Watch enough games and you heart will decide for you. Who cares what others think.

Maybe Tottenham, but if you want a team that can actually win a championship, you should just pick a bandwagon team that you like. Since '96, only 1 non-bandwagon team has won and that was last season with Leicester. Besides that, it's big money teams winning

From 96-15, only Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Man City have won the league.

Looking forward to this one big time. Arsenal haven't been the best to open their season the last few years and are missing a bunch of players (specifically thin on defence for this occasion). Klopp needs to take it to Arsenal early and hammer them with a heavy press that hopefully leads to a few goals. Can't see a loss here...a hard fought draw maybe, but I could see a rout from Liverpool if they can bag a couple early enough to break Arsenal's morale.

Coutinho - Firmino - Mané
Wijnaldum - Lallana

Moreno - Lovren - Klavan - Clyne

I'd suggest watching multiple games every weekend until you find one you like. When some clubs start catching your eye, read up on them a bit as well.

Leicester City gift from the heavens aside usually there are only five-six teams that can win the league year-in year-out so it's kind of hard to root for a team that can win and not be a bandwagon fan, although these days Arsenal's stuck in neutral and perpetual 4th place :P

How Leicester does this season is going to be a pretty interesting story to follow. They had such an incredible year last season, but I doubt they come close to a repeat.
