IMHO the best chance is building a pragmatic defensive type team. in the champs.
and the splashing the cash on 2-3 high quality forwards that can nick a result.
Even Farke hinted at that, having seen it first hand a few times.
Teams end up bringing in the mercenary types so their 150M in spending gets probably 50-75M in value because of the rush to build a squad they overpay.
It will be really interesting to see how Burnley does next season.
