Preview season continues here on Ranks FC, moving over the Iberian Peninsula from Portugal to Spain! La Liga is back, and there's brilliant battles up and down the table - so we were incredibly lucky to be joined on today's show by the expert analysis of Alan Feehely, editor of the mighty Football España.
We pose five questions ahead of the season beginning:

Who are now title favourites out of Real Madrid and Barcelona?

Will Atleti improve now they are back in their underdog role?

Is Sevilla's hold on a UCL spot in danger - and are Real Betis, Real Sociedad or Villarreal ready to succeed them?

Who are the biggest regression candidates for the season ahead?

Which promoted club is most likely to survive, and which surviving club is most in danger of the drop?


There's also a Melon of the Week, where two candidates handily put themselves into contention - and Sam's Gibberish is about the things in his life that he wishes he liked, but he doesn't. It's Ranks!
