10 Football Teams That Over-Performed In 2019/20
1. Sheffield United
It didn't matter who you were - Sky Sports pundit or armchair supporter - you had Sheffield United as a no-brainer to be relegated.
The consensus couldn't have been any more wrong on this occasion.
For large spells of this season, it looked as if The Blades would go on to secure European football in their first season back in the Premier League since 2006/07.
Poor form struck the club following the return from lockdown, but they still secured a mightily impressive 9th place finish after everyone had them written off as relegation fodder.
A cohesive unit combined with Chris Wilder's unique tactic that utilised overlapping centre backs created a side that took points from the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United, whilst obtaining the 4th fewest goals conceded in the league.
A breakout season for Manchester United loanee Dean Henderson has seen him earn a call up for England, whilst Chris Basham, Oliver Norwood and Enda Stevens were all standout performers throughout the campaign.
For a team that finished 11th in League One just five years ago, they sure have come a long way, securing their place as many Premier League fans' second team.
