    again like van aanholt he was poor
    but I don't know if he will be dropped
    I think José will give them a chance to redeem themselves
    but he is GONE from my team forever when I wildcard
    got him for the 1st time for last season for last 1\3 of the season
    solid one and 2 pointers all the way
    feared his customary early season form so ignored how poor he and Chelsea looked in preseason

    Here we go with Gameweek 4's odds. I'm going to use Spock's template from now on as it's a little quicker to type out.

    Newcastle v Arsenal

    CS: 11/2 v 27/20
    AGS: Giroud (13/10), Alexis (6/4), Walcott (7/4), Ramsey (3/1), Mitrovic (10/3), Ozil (7/2)

    Aston Villa v Sunderland

    CS: 13/10 v 16/5
    AGS: Gestede (39/20), Ayew (9/4), Defoe (16/5), Sinclair (37/10), Lens (23/4)

    Bournemouth v Leicester

    CS: 21/10 v 10/3
    AGS: Wilson (15/8), Vardy (11/4), Ritchie (10/3), Mahrez (41/10), Albrighton (7/1)

    Chelsea v Palace

    CS: 19/20 v 15/2
    AGS: Costa (19/20), Hazard (29/20), Pedro (9/5), Fabregas (4/1), Murray/Wickham/Bamford (5/1)

    Liverpool v West Ham

    CS: 19/20 v 8/1
    AGS: Benteke (21/20), Firmino (7/4), Coutinho (2/1), Sakho (4/1), Payet (6/1)

    Manchester City v Watford

    CS: EVS v 14/1
    AGS: Aguero (4/6), Sterling (15/8), Silva (2/1), Yaya (9/4), Deeney (5/1)

    Stoke v West Brom

    CS: 13/10 v 3/1
    AGS: Diouf (2/1), Shaqiri (31/10), Walters (11/4), Berahino/Rondon (7/2), Arnautovic (19/5)

    Tottenham v Everton

    CS: 15/8 v 19/5
    AGS: Kane (6/5), Eriksen (5/2), Chadli/Lukaku (11/4), Kone/Mirallas (4/1)

    Southampton v Norwich

    CS: 8/5 v 18/5
    AGS: Pelle (6/4), J-Rod/Mane/Long (9/4), Jerome (14/5), Tadic (3/1), Hoolohan (4/1) Redmond (13/2)

    Swansea v Manchester United

    CS: 11/4 v 7/4
    AGS: Rooney (21/10), Depay (40/17), Gomis (5/2), Mata (18/5), Ayew (19/5)

    Notes:

    - Chelsea and Liverpool are the 2 teams odds-on to keep a clean sheet this week. Perhaps surprisingly, Manchester City are available at even money.

    - Only 2 players are odds-on to score this week, they are Aguero and Costa. Benteke and Kane are the next two most fancied goalscorers.

    - Off topic, but my personal opinion is that Pedro (9/5) and Mahrez (41/10) look good value as anytime goalscorers if you're having a punt.

    - Off topic, but my personal opinion is that Pedro (9/5) and Mahrez (41/10) look good value as anytime goalscorers if you're having a punt.

    Is Benteke not 21/20 (near enough evens) and Rooney 21/10 (2/1 basically)?

    I could be getting that arseways but that's my reading of it above. I'm not a huge gambler.

    You're correct. I thought it was strange when I was typing it out. I've just been looking at so many different odds over the past half an hour :pac: Will edit my post now. Cheers :)

    Very surprising odds... Only Sunderland (8) have conceded more than Chelsea (7), Liverpool obviously have great record with 0.
    But they're both playing free scoring teams in West Ham (6) and Palace (6) with only Man City and Leicester topping them in goals scored.

    Do they know something about Man City that we don't? 3 CS's so far against the mighty Watford with 2 goals.

    One thing I sometimes wonder - I realise we use bookies odds because of their statistical analysis to arrive at their odds but do we take into account the effect the punter has on same?

    I remember reading an article a few years back about Dublin GAA team. The article pointed out that their odds were often shortened even though the bookies didn't expect them to win because they were always heavily backed due to having a huge supporter base.

    Could Chelsea's odds for a CS be effected by the fact that they are still being heavily backed by punters for same?

    Afaik, odds like first goalscorer, AGS, CS are all very static... in that they are set by the bookies in advance and rarely fluctuate. 99.9% of odds will be in favour of the bookie in the sense that they'll set them with a premium in mind.

    Re cases like Dublin, that would be more akin to a horse race imo, in that it would be a big betting market with volatility. Even though the team mightn't change and a horse remains the same horse he was 5 mins ago... the bookies will shorten the price to reduce their exposure if they see lots of money being placed on it/them.

    But yes, I would think they would take more of a premium for a popular team like Chelsea as opposed to a similar team (in terms of chances of conceding in a lower league) because they know punters look at the outcome of the bet more so than the value within it.

    The last time I was surprised at the bookies being so favourable (as City Evs CS) with odds on here was Sunderland 7/2 to bet Newcastle at home when Sun were flying and New in a rut. That was my last football bet and City Evs will be my next.

    GAA is different because it's quite a small market and it wouldn't take too many large bets to trigger a price movement in one direction or another.

    Also, most of the money doesn't go on these markets until the last 24 hours in the run-up to the game, especially the more niche markets.

    Some interesting odds. Hopefully they are right about mahrez''s chances of another goal. I think after aguero kolorav is the best captain option this week.

    He scores when he wants. He scores when he wants.
    Riyad Mahrez. He scores when he wants!!

    :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Mahrez at over 4/1 away to Bournemouth is odd when he was 7/2 best price away to West Ham iirc and he's scored twice since then.

    I wouldn't be totally against him blanking though, as a Francis clean sheet is more of a differential than a Mahrez goal.

    Ah, good times. :(

    Going to go against the bookies on the Liverpool CS and start Kolarov, Darmian & Richards... leaving Gomez & Targett on the bench.

    Going with my gut on this, West Ham have been hot and cold but they're still scoring.

    Arsenal 3/1 to keep a clean sheet, Palace 7/2 but I think I'm going with Souare over Bellerin. We haven't kept a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge in 10 years and Spurs might have a Europa hangover

    My GKs are Cech/McCarthy and am torn between them also. Thought it would be madness to go for McCarthy but having 2nd thoughts now. Hmmmm.....

    That's a 50/50. I haven't looked at the stats to back it up, but I believe Spurs take more long range shots than Chelsea which would be good for save points and in turn potential baps


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,387 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    I'm in a LMS, have a choice of
    Chelsea
    Newcastle
    Stoke
    Spurs
    Bournemouth

    Currently on Chelsea #injosewetrust
