French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)

[LordShanken]

As quoted from Marca, it is true that Kylian Mbappe has just uploaded an Instagram story on his Instagram and this has given rise to further speculation regarding his possible departure this summer. It is clear that there are 3 emojis and one white heart emoji which indicates his departure but this is only a possibility because we often see oddities in Kylian Mbappe's posts so far on his Instagram account.

Is it possible that Kylian Mbappe will not stay at PSG this season and it turns out that there has been an agreement with Real Madrid to make a splash with his transfer to Real Madrid at the last minute of the transfer market? If this is true, PSG must prepare to go through this season without Kylian Mbappe, especially with other news that Kolo Muani wants to join PSG and is just waiting for Frankfurt's decision.

Honestly I still don't understand what is going on with Mbappe. Different news from time to time, actually I think Mbappé will be in PSG team this season.

That's not normal at all mate, even though PSG were left behind by some of their important players, they still have a lot of talented players in their squad, of course there will be changes, but I mean the changes shouldn't be this significant. We can see all this when PSG played matches against Lorient and also Toulouse in the first and second weeks of Ligue 1, how can PSG only get 1 point at home when facing Lorient? it's ok if their opponent is Lyon, Marseille or AS Monaco.

Yes, it's true and But it seems that PSG needs to anticipate that it will find a new striker if in the end Mbappe moves to another club and does not extend his contract with PSG, even though there are several quality players in the squad without Mbappe in the previous game, nothing can be produced even for just getting a win is difficult and I think there is a need to add a few players on the front lines.

At least PSG's attacks don't look dull when Mbappe leaves PSG later or if indeed Mbappe stays at PSG at least look for additional new players to make PSG's attack power even better. The departure of Messi and Neymar also had a slight impact on their attacking power, even though there was Dembele but he didn't look any better

They narrowly escaped losing Mbappe this summer and where so strategic in trying to keep him in the team thereby making him to sign another contract, but I think Mbappe might likely move to another team next summer and it would be best that they start looking for a replacement while they enjoy his stay at the team this season, he's been so impressive for them so far and his recent performance has shown that they made the right choice in trying to keep him for another year, and making him extend his contract instead of termination it or loosing him for free next summer.
 He's of a great influence to the player and is currently the highest goal scorer in the team this season, imagine PSG'S attack without Mbappe, it would had been weak even with the fact that they got Dembele, Mbappe is the key player currently for PSG, since they've lost Messi and Neymar and I believe he'll help them performan better in the Champions league this season.

Kylian Mbappe and Paris SG both sides managed to make us all a little confused when Kylian Mbappe was angry at Paris SG and Paris SG punished him threatening to make him a substitute player but after the summer games started surprisingly Mbappe appeared on the field with other players.
Such unexpected ridiculousness when Paris SG needs this player but always puts pressure on Mbappe to sign a contract extension but we don't know what will happen in the next season judging from the rumors he is really going to leave Paris SG but not sure whether to leave to Real madrid.
But I think if Paris SG really loses their flagship player I believe this club will lose their strong performance.

[hahay]

Olympique Marseille is ranked second on the Ligue One table, they're competing with Monaco who's sitting at the first position. Checking out I didn't see PSG in the crucial positions, moreover it's very early to start concluding on the club's that would be in the race to fight for the domestic league title.

It's true that it's too soon to draw conclusions about which teams will be strong candidates to win the Ligue 1 title, there are still 31 games remaining ahead of us. We are also used to seeing underdog teams ranked at the top at the start of the season, soon we'll see how the big teams will get rid of them. Ligue 1 has only played 3 matches so far, and the interesting thing I see is that of the three matches that have been completed, not a single team has finished with a perfect result (9 points).

It is normal to see PSG in this situation now. Because they have been making big changes in the squad. Mbappe was also nearly leaving and he has been integrated into the squad again after some issues between him and the team. They tried a trio without Mbappe first. Despite the dominance it didn't work out as they couldn't score a goal. Whenever Mbappe was in the game he made a direct impact on the game with his goals later on. As I said before he is the mainstay for now.

As long as they have him in the starting eleven their win percentage should be increasing by a high sum. But I don't have big expectations from them anyway as I need to see the adaptation process of the new players first.

But the truth is, Monaco and Marseille are not mediocre teams so yes, if Monaco and Marseille can maintain this kind of good performance. Then at least, PSG might find it difficult to be at the top of the table. Indeed, it is still early and of course any result is still very possible, but if I consider PSG relies heavily on Mbappe to score goals. So if at any time later Mbappe cannot be played, then of course PSG will find it difficult to consistently win in every match. If that happens, then maybe this season PSG no longer has a strong dominance to be able to win the Ligue 1 title.

Olympique Marseille and Monaco doesn't stand a chance to compete with PSG when the time comes. This is fresh starts and every club displaying their best performance inother to prove their strength. In more or fewer incoming games, most mediocre teams will dropped behind and we will know the main clubs competing for the league title. However PSG always remained the first team that comes on-top the list for nomination of clubs that would lift the Ligue One trophy, then follow by any random competitive club. PSG are consistent in league games but fails to record streak triumphed outside their league.

I am just getting tired of this. Every day there are some new things happening which might not even indicate anything but there are some new speculations about this player. I think it is definitely high time that he should go to Real Madrid. He should stop playing games and make up his mind about what he actually wants to do. Whenever I see these types of things, I actually get angry because the transfer speculations around this player have been going on for ages and it does not seem to be stopping any time soon as well.

I would definitely like to wait for some official statement. And I am definitely not going to make anything out of the emojis that he is going to put on his Instagram story.

I wouldn't say that they don't stand a chance either. What Lens has done last season couldn't be expected either and they were quite close to make it. It is not that I really think that Monaco and Olympique Marseille will make it to the top or even both be ahead of PSG at the end of the season, but I also never thought that Lens would compete with PSG so fiercely for such a long time. PSG also has a lot of troubles to sort out, which could be helpful to other teams who have less to do with such problems.

Both Marseille and Monaco are performing quite well in Ligue 1. But PSG team is always the best in this league and hope this team will win this league title. However, when the PSG team can perform exceptionally well in a place like the Champions League, the team's worth will be revealed.

Lol, that's how it is when a player is labeled "star", whatever happens to them is always a rumor in the end. Even when he's out of sight, there will still be rumors, and the rumors will be diverse, and probably never thought of before.
Even the emojis he posts will become speculation, just like now. Lol
But I'm just like you, that I'm just waiting for official news, because I've been through so many rumors about her, and it's just a rumor, no official news, no confirmation that eventually sinks in.

Mbappe  goes nowhere this season not even during January transfer window France league champions  will have to hold on to their finest front Man as they explore the market for his replacement ahead of the new season.
Numerous news of him having a move to Real Madrid majority are true and it is a sure thing  that the world will see the finest young  talented player joining one of the best and biggest club in the world. Kylian will develop into a monster if he finally arrives at the Spanish league.

What you mentioned is actually what makes this whole drama about Mbappe so bad. He is a monster already when he is given the right stage. He has scored some insanely impressive goals at World Cups and also for his clubs. But in Ligue 1 I never thought he is playing to his full potential because he was driven by the wrong incentive, which was money. He knew that becoming the king in Ligue 1 doesn't quite mean as much as it would mean to become the king at Real Madrid, and yes he would probably be in line with the best the club has ever seen. I have really hoped to see him leave PSG this season, but now it is another wasted season for him in a club he doesn't really want to be at anymore. But he wanted the money and so he has to live with the consequences, which I think are tough in respect to his career as a pro player.

Checking out I didn't see PSG in the crucial positions, moreover it's very early to start concluding on the club's that would be in the race to fight for the domestic league title. I'm believing Paris Saint Germain will always make good path to the first position, furthermore the team's healing after important players exits the team, it's definitely going to affect their performance a little bit, but the new boss, Luis Enrique will make sure he strengthen and enchance the team.

It is indeed Luis Enrique's main task to make the PSG team successful again this season even though PSG only has one more star player on their front line. Slowly PSG will continue to create competition again in Ligue1 in order to be in a better place even though Marseille and Monaco have also shown their good performances at the start of this season, but these two teams still have to be wary of PSG because PSG can still make greater dominance in Ligue1 this season.

PSG is still the strongest team in France, no doubt about it. However, teams like Marseille, Monaco, Lens can push them. They managed to beat Lens last week. However, they had never won before that. If Marseille is lucky this year, it is of course possible for them to become champions. PSG is still not fully compatible.

[emrecemsan]

Marseille had a shocking start this season by being eliminated in the Champions League in qualification phase already. Marcelino couldn't prevent this elimination by Panathinaikos after taking the job. Now he will need to concentrate fully on the Ligue 1 and French Cup. Marseille are normally a team that should be in the race for the Champions League places at worst. For now their placement in the standings is decent. But we are just at the beginning of the season now.

Consistency is the most important factor to maintain their presence in top 3 to qualify for the Champions League group stage directly. This would be an improvement for Marseille considering they couldn't do it last season. Maybe this season is an opportunity to fight for even the league title while PSG are dealing with issues who knows.

I think the Mbappe rumors will never end because the media really likes to report on whatever he does. These little things could put him in further speculation about his future this season and despite that, I think he will stay at PSG. It was very difficult for Mbappe to leave in the midst of previous internal conflicts, especially since he had to fuss over this with the team that had served him several seasons ago. The official announcement was a key factor amidst the rumors that are still swirling today and I think after the transfer market is over we will know the answers to all of this.

[beerlover]

IMO, PSG have some great players even though they are not as big as Mbappe, we cannot rule out the other players. Luis Enrique has other players, namely, Dembele, Assensio, Goncalo Ramos and several other players. these players, will work together properly as a team. although Mbappe is the only superstar in the PSG squad, without his teammates he is nothing. that is why, every player has their own role which the coach combines with the system he implements to achieve the results they want.

Now, Enrique is trying to build a squad for his team. Unfortunately, Goncalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee, Marco Assensio, have not found the rhythm of play that the coach wants. In the first two matches they only got minor results, in the third match Mbappe was the difference and won his first match this season. no one can deny how great this player is, but football is not just a matter of one player. there are 11 people who will work together, to achieve the desired result. I'm pretty sure, gradually the other players will find their rhythm. especially, for the front and middle line players. Enrique will maximize his team and bring PSG to the best level. although currently the standings are occupied by Manoco and Marseille, it does not mean that PSG cannot reduce the difference in points between these two teams. after all, it's only a two point difference. this week, it is possible that the top position of the standings will change.

This is what bothers me the most as well, Mbappe is a great player and all but he turned the team into a mockery and the owner just let him be, he really believed whatever Mbappe said and I think it should be important to realize that Mbappe may leave and if he does, PSG did something wrong by letting him walk around like he owns the building during his stay here.

Remember that PSG existed before him, and started their run before him as well. They could very well easily bench him, not play him any games at all, not even use him at training if they can, and just basically overall end up making sure that he is not playing any games. If Mbappe leaves, then the other team should get someone who hasn't played a game for over a year.

It's a time of historic chaos for PSG right now. His scores in the first 2 matches seem to confirm this. Marseille must be able to leave PSG behind in the league this year and become champions. So far they are good in the league but their elimination at UCL came as a huge shock to them.

[Hirose UK]

And we are continuing to witness and discuss about Mbappe-dependencia of PSG. When will they eliminate their dependence on Mbappe?

They must know that to win Champions League, only Mbappe is not enough and such dependence will be harmful for their ambitious plan to win the most club wanted trophy in Europe. If they can not win matches in Ligue 1 without Mbappe, they are not strong enough to win Champions League.

Mbappe has been considered a savior for PSG and other PSG players have also considered Mbappe as the essence of their victory, we can see that when Mbappe plays, other players are also more enthusiastic and have more self-confidence to beat opponents in every game match.
It seems difficult to get rid of PSG's dependence on Mbappe.

But there is truth when to win the Champions League, PSG doesn't only need Mbappe, but also other players who have the potential or can make a good contribution in the PSG squad.
Now, several of Mbappe's teammates who are also a mainstay of PSG have left the squad because they chose to join the Saudi team, making it difficult for Mbappe when he has the desire to win the Champions League trophy with PSG.

Most of their top players left the club and they took a drastic measure to try keeping Mbappe thereby forcing him to sign another contract and it's paid off so far for them, he's currently their most outstanding player and other team mates would be looking up to him and also build their self confidence on and off the pitch.
 PSG really need Mbappe in their squad if they want to have a better competition this seaso, they know his capabilities and that's why they decided to do everything In their power to keep him for another season and help the club to challenge in the Champions league and if truly he wasn't need they would had allowed him go or terminate his contract after the disobey the club by negotiating with another club without their notice, they know if he leaves this summer then the club could end up having a problem so they were very technical in finding a solution to keep him.

Of Mbappe many benefits to the PSG team it can be confirmed that he will continue to be retained and will not be easily let go and move to another team.
As was the case at the start of last season Mbappe was not used in matches because it was alleged that the PSG manager wanted Mbappe to be interested in signing a contract extension.
Indeed there are several top PSG players who have left especially to join the Saudi team but Mbappe existence without other top players can still bring PSG to victory.

Now all PSG managers need to do is look for players who have the skills to be able to help Mbappe in every match.

Luis Enrique started his first season at PSG with two draws from three matches. That's not a good statistic as fans expected more wins from Ligue 1's best team. Ligue 1 may not be considered difficult by some people, but in fact PSG still finds several good teams to become competitors every season. PSG's squad depth this season is different compared to the last two seasons, so I don't think they will really completely dominate Ligue 1 without increasing the quality of play and squad depth.

This week PSG will travel to Lyon. It should be an easy match to predict the outcome, but Lyon could surprise even though they haven't won a single match in the last 3 matches. PSG have struggled to score goals in the last 3 matches, but Mbappe's return to the squad will add to their attack power again.

They have warmed up yet for this season and with PSG, when they are on fire, no clubs in Ligue 1can stop them in previous seasons. This season can be a different one after they let many star players go in the summer. I agree with you about their squad depth in this season, which is less depth than the past, and it will cause them more trouble when they season goes more.

Is it coincidence when PSG started to win in Ligue 1 with return of Mbappe on field? I guess it is not coincidence and only shows the considerable and important role of Mbappe with them in this season.

This week PSG will travel to Lyon. It should be an easy match to predict the outcome, but Lyon could surprise even though they haven't won a single match in the last 3 matches. PSG have struggled to score goals in the last 3 matches, but Mbappe's return to the squad will add to their attack power again.

Lyon is a name from the past. They actually dominated Ligue 1 in the past and Benzema is a young player who debuted in Lyon. I see similarity between Benzema and Mbappe even Benzema left Lyon at a younger age than Mbappe. He joined Real Madrid and became a legend in Bernabeu so it is interesting to see another player with similar importance for club will join Real Madrid from a club that has been dominating Ligue 1 last decade.

If Marseille is lucky this year, it is of course possible for them to become champions. PSG is still not fully compatible.

At the beginning of this season, PSG was indeed in doubt after an incident of quarrel between Mbappe and the owner of PSG where Mbappe was not included in PSG first game at the beginning of this season. But that has passed and PSG has made peace with Mbappe which gives it an important meaning that their balance of power is very stable to advance in a winning trend in the upcoming matches.

For now Monaco and Marseille are at the top of the table but I still doubt them because their level of concentration to maintain a winning streak will be difficult for them to do. But at least we see big changes in the standings and hope this season's competition is no longer boring like the previous season.

They have warmed up yet for this season and with PSG, when they are on fire, no clubs in Ligue 1can stop them in previous seasons. This season can be a different one after they let many star players go in the summer. I agree with you about their squad depth in this season, which is less depth than the past, and it will cause them more trouble when they season goes more.

Apart from Neymar and Messi, PSG will also lose Marco Verratti, who is reportedly moving to the Qatar Star League. That means there has been a big drop in Luis Enrique's squad depth this season even though PSG have brought in several other players. Of course this will make it difficult for Enrique to carry out his duties at PSG because he has lost so many important players from his team.

PSG still have Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz, Carlos Soler, Danilo Pereira and several others as options, but I don't think they have the same quality as Verratti. Well in the end this is the first season for Enrique and he should be ready to do his job well.
