Like it's impossible. The more worrying stats is for example that Africa are now watching 85% Premier League. 10 years ago it was 55% PL and 47% La Liga .
The sponsors are going to leave soon and concentrate on PL

I've done a poll of the top 5 most likely teams for the 2020/21 season. Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/poll/m0k9u4d
Anybody want me to do a poll? I'm currently in my junior year of college and am looking for a poll to keep track of the upcoming matches. I'm looking for people to comment on the teams in the Top 4 and the players in the top 4 and make their poll with me. Thanks in advance!
Comparing these numbers with other golden boot winners over the last two seasons:
- Abraham 19/20 + 20/21: 20 non-pen goals, 2907 mins (+getting Luiz & Fernandinho sent off which should've been his goals but we'll let that slide) (0.62 npG/90)
- Mane 18/19: 22 non-pen goals, 3077 mins (joint golden boot) (0.64)
- Salah 18/19: 19 non-pen goals, 3250 mins (joint golden boot) (0.52)
- Aubameyang 18/19: 18 non-pen goals, 2726 mins (joint golden boot) (0.59)
- Aguero 18/19: 20 non-pen goals, 2459 mins (0.73)
- Ings 19/20: 21 non-pen goals, 2804 mins (0.67)
- Vardy 19/20: 18 non-pen goals, 3033 mins (golden boot) (0.53)
- Aubameyang 19/20: 20 non-pen goals, 3136 mins (0.59)
- Sterling 19/20: 20 non-pen goals, 2651 mins (0.67)
- Salah 19/20: 16 non-pen goals, 2876 mins (0.50)
Tammy Abraham's goalscoring record is better than golden boot winners of the last two seasons. It's ahead of Mohamed Salah's last two seasons. It's only beaten by Man City attackers, a team that scores 100+ goals every season and keeps rotating their attackers so the goals are spread out. All this happened without Cesc Fabregas, or Eden Hazard, or (for large parts) Christian Pulisic or Reece James assisting him. No, this happened mostly with one of the least talented Chelsea teams in recent memory, with the most unproven manager in the Abramovich era, which almost no popular media people tipped to finish in the top 4.
And yet, I seem to see a lot of people question if he is the answer, if he can really get 20 goals a season for us? He has gotten 20 non-penalty goals already, his npxG is amongst the top 5 in the league, his technical ability is great, his ability to press center-backs is one of the best in the world for a CF, his holdup play is improving. Beyond his unique attributes however, a striker with these numbers, for a Champions League team, commands 80 million automatically unless there is a contract dispute or a release clause.
Then you factor in, he recently turned 23! There is a significant upside to his game, vast areas to improve as he gets more used to playing as a focal point (which is not how strikers play in Chelsea youth teams), but he is already producing PL-golden boot winning numbers (if he took pens for us like he did at Villa) while improving.
*And before people say "but he scored 7 goals in 3 games", Diego Costa scored 7 goals in his first 4 games and scored 20 PL goals in his first seas
