    Wayne Rooney top goalscorer in EPL @ 20/1 e/w

    He should be the lone striker with Falcao and RVP leaving, and with Mata, Di Maria and Depay in support, I can see Rooney scoring a lot of goals.

    Where are you getting 20/1 on this? 11/1 on PP!

    EDIT: I know see oddschecker link.

    Who's best for the PP offer lads? Aguero has his injuries, Beneteke may score 25 or flop, Kane may not reproduce last seasons form, Rooney hasn't been as hot the last few years, Costa will (hopefully) be injured or banned for a large part of the season, Arsenal share their goals around...

    Kane at 14 looks like the standout for me. If we knew for sure Rooney would be United's main striker I'd say him but we don't (and we may not for a few weeks into the season which throws my calculations awry) so I won't. If you really fancy Aguero or Costa, winner /scorer double might be the way to go. Aguero/Chelsea double also at 14 looks tasty...

    The guy who has been mentioned a few times before from the PB Facebook group, Sam butchers posted these....


    These are with SkyBet but you can get similar markets elsewhere for these but they may not be exactly the same. Hopefully you can take something. Most of these are season long bets, so we won't collect till May but hopefully we have some value with all of these and we can keep an eye on these for the season with stakes kept low as you will see

    1/10 Depay, Kane, Aguero, Costa, Hazard and Sanchez each to score 10+ Premier League goals 15/16 season 4.50
    Aguero, Costa, Sanchez are main goal scorers for their sides while Hazard is on penalties and scores more than he assists. Depay is the punt here but with his set piece taking and his goal scoring record i am willing to back him at this price.

    1/10 Deeney and Callum Wilson to both score 10 or more goals in the Premier League 15/16 season 5.00
    Both top scored last season for their sides and will be the main men once again, Watford and Bournemouth. Bournemouth look to set up just as attacking as last season and Wilson will have more than enough opportunities to bag ten. Deeney is the better striker for me and has lots to prove still. Is prolific and should suit the Premier League style.

    1/10 Matt Smith to score 10 or more Championship goals in 15/16 season 3.25
    Matt Smith is a proper scorer and unless Fulham sign another striker, Smith is likely to start up front with McCormack for Fulham. Even if he does come off the bench, Smith finds the net. Fulham are far improved and will find themselves at the right end of the pitch more often than last season. Matt Smith scored 12 in 29 games last season and this was split over Bristol City and Fulham with 5 coming for Fulham where he featured just 15 times and some from off the bench. Smith will definitely be involved in 35+ games for Fulham this season therefore you would expect 12+ goals comfortable.

    0.5/10 Nathan Redmond to make the 23 man Euro 2016 squad 12.00
    So a tough market but now Norwich are in the Premier League Redmond is in the shop window for the England senior squad. In the summer, Nathan Redmond was the only decent performer for the under 21 side and Redmond is a star player for Norwich. No doubt has the quality and this could easily be his season to come to the fore and if so, I expect an England call up.

    0.5/10 Luton to win their first three matches 13.00
    Luton just missed out on promotion last season and could go one better this season. Luton are a big club and they will get promoted this season or very soon. Luton kick off against favourites for relegation Accrington Stanley, followed by two tough home games against Oxford Utd and Bristol Rovers but the Hatters will be favourites for both and rightly so.

    0.5/10 Bristol City to lose their first three matches
    21.00 Bristol City have left all their business to very late in the window and I think they’re underprepared for the season. First up they are away to Sheffield Wednesday who have invested heavily this summer and should challenge for a play off place. Brentford then make the trip to Bristol and seem to have improved over the summer with a new manager and much financial investment. Leeds then make the visit and they are a bit of a wildcard, they could do dreadfully this season or particularly well and if it comes down to a 20/1 on this game then the value was ours.

    0.25/10 Chelsea to win the league, Aguero to be top scorer, Bournemouth to stay up and Arsenal to finish above Spurs 15/16 21.00
    Most sides seem to be improved this season but Chelsea are still the side to beat- winning the league at a canter last campaign and i can’t see enough reason to oppose. Aguero is the main man, City will continue to be prolific in front of goal and after the Argentinian won it last season despite periods of absence, he should take the award again comfortably. Bournemouth are set up fantastically, play some excellent football and create lots of chances, their manager Eddie Howe has already said he will play the same way as last season when they won the Championship, I can see them comfortably gaining enough points to stay up. Arsenal have invested in an already good squad whereas Spurs haven’t.Simple.

    0.25/10 Chelsea to win the league, Aguero to be top scorer, Courtois to win the Golden Glove & Hazard PFA Player of the Year 15/16. 51.00
    Most sides seem to be improved this season but Chelsea are still the side to beat- winning the league at a canter last campaign and i can’t see enough reason to oppose. Aguero is the main man, City will continue to be prolific in front of goal and after the Argentinian won it last season despite periods of absence, he should take the award again comfortably. Courtois is behind a watertight Chelsea defence and I cannot see that changing this season. The biggest punt is probably on Hazard to pick up the PFA Player of the Year again but at this early stage you would predict it to be between Hazard and Aguero. As always there will be many players that come to the fore but we know Hazard has the quality and is well in his prime to be the best player in the league once more.

    0.25/10 Arsenal to finish above Spurs, Aston Villa to be relegated, Bournemouth to stay up, West Ham to finish in the top half 21.00
    Arsenal have invested in an already good squad whereas Spurs haven’t. I predicted Villa to get relegated last season but they managed to stay up. This campaign they have lost their best players in Fabian Delph, Tom Cleverley and Christian Benteke. I can see them struggling massively. Bournemouth are set up fantastically, play some excellent football and create lots of chances, their manager Eddie Howe has already said he will play the same way as last season when they won the Championship, I can see them comfortably gaining enough points to stay up. West Ham have signed some excellent players, especially Ogbonna and Payet which are going to make a massive difference. Europa league could be a hindrance to their campaign but I am willing to take a risk and I believe they will improve.

    0.25/10 QPR to lose their first three games 29.00
    So QPR are one of the favourites for promotion but they have finally seen sense and got rid of a lot of dead wood and decided to start introducing youth and less mercenaries. Their star player Charlie Austin is expected to leave and Leroy Fer remains unfit and also a candidate to leave as is Matt Phillips. If you take away these players QPR look fragile and they could easily get off to a stinker and struggle hugely just as Fulham did last season who did the same thing albeit with the worst manager in history. QPR have some difficult games as well. Charlton away to start, Charlton fans seem particularly confident and home advantage in this London derby could be vital. A home game against Cardiff seems easier but if QPR are having early difficulties this could be a defeat. Wolves away is the toughest out of the three with the Midlands side wanting to go one better and get promoted

    0.25/10 Rotherham to win their first three games 34.00
    Rotherham are red hot favourites to finish bottom of the Championship this season but I actually think they are in better shape for this campaign. Survival may be tough but I think a good prepared start against questionable opposition may give us some value here. At home to a very green MK Dons looks good for a home win. MK Dons have made little strides in the transfer market and it could be said that they were stronger in League One. Nottingham Forest away is obviously the toughest tie out of the three but Forest were particularly average last season and transfer constraints have left them no better. The third tie is another home game against another promoted side in Preston. Another team who appear to have found it difficult to invest- in fact i think all the promoted clubs may struggle this season more than they normally do.

    0.25/10 Southampton to lose their first three games 51.00
    Wow a crazy punt and the price reflects it. Southampton have a few things to think about though, the Europa League being one of them which may interfere. The Saints also have a new back four more or less with Clyne and Alderweireld no longer at the club and Bertrand being injured. Good luck with Yoshida. Despite being favourites to beat Newcastle, a game at St James's Park is never easy and not too many should be shocked with a Newcastle win. A home tie to Everton follows that and Everton may not normally start well but have the quality to win. This third game is an away game at Watford who will keep things tight at the back and look to snatch a goal. You never know with this bet.

    0.25/10 Aden Flint to score 10 or more goals in the 2015/16 Championship 26.00
    Bristol City man who is scoring in preseason and should be up there for their top scorer. Value

    0.25/10 Arsenal, Man Utd and Derby County to all win their first 3 league games 111.00
    More of a fun punt this one. Arsenal have had a great pre-season and many are tipping them to challenge for the title, there is no reason why they cannot start well. West Ham (H), Crystal Palace (A), Liverpool (H). United have signed well and seem much more prepared and have Spurs (H), Aston Villa (A) Newcastle (H). Derby are my favourites for promotion. Having built on an already excellent team. First games are Bolton (A) Charlton (H) and then a very tough home game against big spending Middlesbrough.

    I posted previously but I am also on this season...

    5/10 Rangers to win the Scottish Championship 1.83
    2/10 Derby to win the Championship 8.00
    2/10 Scunthorpe to win League One 41.00
    4/10 Scunthorpe to get promoted League One 13.00
    2/10 Cambridge to get promoted 6.50
    2/10 Luton to get promoted 5.00
    2/10 Hartlepool to get relegated 9.00
    1/10 Newport to get relegated 6.00
    1/10 Grimsby to win the National league 7.50

    Today I went for aguero top goalscorer 3/1
    Juve to win 4/7
    Psg to win 1/7
    Psv to win 6/5 (I worry most for this one but they had a nice 18 point lead by the end of last season)
    Aswell as a horse that won today for me at 2/1, works out at 47ish/1
    1 down, 4 to go.

    Hi loaf, where are you getting aguero/Chelsea at 14/1? That would be tasty alright

    Paddy Power, as the guy I was responding to requested...


  • Registered Users Posts: 691 ✭✭✭ianburke


    kane 5/1 with 365 to bag 20 or more goals. seems like a decent price


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,008 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    [/B] Aguero has his injuries, Beneteke may score 25 or flop, Kane may not reproduce last seasons form, Rooney hasn't been as hot the last few years, Costa will (hopefully) be injured or banned for a large part of the season, Arsenal share their goals around...

    Btw, are these the only serious contenders for the boot? I wouldn't have Benteke in there but can see the case...


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 20,862 Mod ✭✭✭✭inforfun


    Btw, are these the only serious contenders for the boot? I wouldn't have Benteke in there but can see the case...

    Benteke can become top scorer as long as he stays fit.
    All the other candidates have "something".

    Costa > suspensions and injuries. More the suspension i fear as the refs will focus on him.

    Aguero > Injuries

    Sanchez will miss a few matches at the start because of his Copa America involvement and he will not alwyas play the main striker. Arsenal also a much better team compared to the days they were reliant on 1 guy scoring the goals. Can see them have 5 or 6 players score 10+ but no one score 20+

    Rooney > Nah. Not if Depay continues to play like he did at PSV, i.e rather selfish

    Kane > too much of a hot/cold striker. Didnt score a lot i nthe last 10 matces of the season iirc and the defenders now know him.

    So Benteke can do it for sure imo. Certainly if Sturridge keeps proving he is made of glass.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭Austria!


    I think Giroud will be in the reckoning too. If he plays lone striker for the Arsenal all season.

    2/10 Scunthorpe to win League One 41.00

    2/10 Hartlepool to get relegated 9.00
    1/10 Newport to get relegated 6.00
    1/10 Grimsby to win the National league 7.50

    ---Few more added tonight ---

    2/10 Stockport to win the Conference North 9.00
    As non-league football is concerned Stockport County are a fallen giant. This pre-season has been their best for many a season and have built an incredibly impressive squad in the past few months. Perhaps a striker short at present they can certainly boast the best midfield on paper in both Conference North and South and one that would look just fine in the Premier.

    0.5/10 John Akinde top League Two scorer 26.00
    Big John Akinde is prolific. Last season he was guaranteed top scorer before Christmas. Leading the line for Barnet and sending them up Champions. Akinde will be leading the line again after Barnet were able to fend off any offers from sides higher up the pyramid for Akinde. So far. Akinde can be unplayable at times and is currently in the prime of his career. Barnet should do quite well again this season and Akinde will be one to score all the goals as he has done during pre-season, scoring a first half hatrick in their first game.

    0.5/10 Lee Gregory top League One scorer 21.00
    Lee Gregory scored an outstanding 89 goals in 135 games for Halifax and in doing so earned his move up the divisions to Millwall last summer. Millwall eventually got relegated after a poor season but Gregory still managed to find the net 9 times in 39 in a relegated side while showing he is a natural scorer. Gregory will be the man relied upon to fire them straight back up in League One and with Gregory scoring 9 in a low scoring side, I expect him to be up there in the goal charts this season.

    0.5/10 Padraig Amond top scorer in the Conference 26.00
    Amond has never been incredibly prolific but hasn’t been at the right team to do so. This season he is now at high flying Grimsby and will be scoring more than ever. Amond was a very good signing for Grimsby to boost their goal scoring after falling just short of promotion last season. In the pre-season Grimsby have been awesome beating higher league opposition on numerous occasions with Amond also getting in on the act. Amond has recently spent time at Morecambe and Accrington with modest scoring records for both but neither of these sides were challenging at the top. Grimsby will be. In 2010 Amond bagged 17 goals in just 27 games which earned him a move to Paços de Ferreira- another season like that and a number of higher league sides will be after the Irishman.

    0.5/10 Ebbsfleet to win the Conference South 4.50
    Ebbsfleet failed to set the division alight under Jamie Day since Christmas. Ebbsfleet's promotion bid failed but they still have hefty ambitions to get into league football before the decade is up. Ebbsfleet are backed with big money and with a far more settled preparation through pre-season they will be rightly the team to beat next season.

    0.5/10 Freddie Sears top Championship scorer 67.00
    A huge price and a slice of value in my opinion. I have always rated Sears ever since he was at West Ham. Since then Sears has dropped down the divisions but worked his way back up and had a great couple of seasons, frequently finding the net. First at Colchester and then at Ipswich. Sears joined the Tractor Boys in January and scored 9 in 21 as Ipswich challenged for promotion, only to fall short. Ipswich will be up there again and with a wealth of front line options I expect Sears to be given the majority of games to find goals.

    0.25/10 Kevin Van Veen top League One scorer 101.00
    Unlike many, I fully expect Scunthorpe to do well this season and at least challenge for a Play Off place. In doing so they will have to score plenty of goals. Last January's signing Kevin Van Veen failed to set the division alight in the final few months and his goal scoring was lacking. In Holland, Van Veen had a great record, absolutely prolific which earned his move to Scunthorpe which was seen as a bit of a coup at the time. Van Veen has found the net far more often in a good pre-season and after seeing this price, I had to take it.

    Think the Czech Republic could win their Euro 2016 group, 15/8 at the minute.

    Hazard, Sanchez, Depay, Aguero & Costa over 9.5 PL goals at 8/1 was the bet of the season in my opinion.

    Couldn't get it posted before it shortened.

    Paddy Power, as the guy I was responding to requested...

    Cheers loaf, just took me a while to wade through a few of them sub menus on pp to actually find it. 14/1 does look value tho, as mentioned already aguero is the main man, Chelsea the team to beat, hazard taking penos and costas chances of getting injured and higher chance of getting suspended, question is can aguero stay Injury free. I think this is the bet to go large on for me, cheers for pointing it out.
    I'd say Chelsea will have it won again this year with a few games to spare.

    People,

    When posting bets or things you like you have seen somewhere, do everybody a favour and post the bookie with it?

    Saves a lot of "where is that" type of posts.

    Thanks

    Get onto the skybet chat and they'll get their traders to look at it for you and may offer you a price

    Before I lump my life savings on it, does anyone see any catch with the Stoke top midlands club bet? I don't remember seeing such an apparently sure thing at such odds before. I mean a Chelsea/City/Arsenal/United top four is also round evens, but I would scientifically estimate the Stoke bet as at least three times more of a lock...

    I agree

    1. Begovic is a massive loss.
    2. Pulis has turned WBA into one of the best defensive teams in the league. They will get a lot of 1-0 wins.

    Having said that, I think it's a good bet (although won't be taking it myself)

    If Mark Hughes does too much tinkering around with the squad wanting them to be easier on the eye then Stoke mighten be a sure thing.

    Being dogged and stubborn and trying to out muscle teams is what Stoke City is all about.

    And their good at that.

    Is top 10 finish for Stoke not about the same odds?
    It was last season

    Slightly longer with most bookies. Good bet too but a lot less to go wrong with the Midlands one IMO...

    Re Spock I'm wary of West Brom too but without Berahino they'll be really struggling for goals. Stoke will have to drastically underperform in attack to finish behind them. I would imagine...

    Plus Butland won't be the worst goalie in the league. You would think...
