Alas, the show must go on, so without further ado here are this week's forecast goals per game for each team. Note that for the promoted sides I have used an adjusted number based on their performance in last year's Championship (further explained here ). <a href="#"><img alt="Dashboard 1 " src="http://public.tableausoftware.com/static/images/Ga/Gameweek1Preview/Dashboard1/1_rss.png" style="border: none" /&...
