Prediction: 24th
Top Scorer: Rodallega
Top Player: McCarthy

Wigan in my opinion are a small team that have certainly been riding there luck for a long time in the Premier League and have a absolutely fantastic manager but don't have a lot to work with. Let's be fair. Hugo Radallega has been Wigan's best player for a few seasons now and I fear a injury to him could live Wigan in a bit of bother for the rest of the season. Flaws in there defence may also prove costly and could see them getting relegated. However under Roberto Martinez anything is pretty much possible.
