Mokuba's 1st Goalscorer 17/18 Road to Glory

03-08-2017 11:17pm#1Hi - I did one of these last season, had no winner and shortly stopped updating it. I can promise that the only way I will stop updating this is if my bank goes to 0.
1st Goalscorer bets are considered risky by many - I have often gained great returns from them. I think there is decent value to be had on occasion and I find FGS great for having an interest in a game.
I will try to provide reasoning with all my selections.
I'm going to start with a bank of €200. Some weekends I could have 4 bets, some I could have no bets. Being the first weekend, I am eager to have a crack at the bookies and will have a decent couple for this weekend. Hopefully we have a winner thrown in.
Nottingham Forest v Millwall
Forest should have the beating of Millwall here. Zach Clough was really good to me last year, but I'm not sure if he will be starting off the bat under new boss Warburton. One player who will almost certainly start is Ben Brereton. He came into the squad last season and scored 3 good goals. He went to the U-19 Euros and finished joint top scorer with 3 also. He can play up front, behind the striker or out wide, but Warburton has a fairly fluid set-up with lots of interchanging.
I think Brereton is overpriced at 7/1 and I'm all over him
€10 on Ben Brereton 1st Goalscorer @ 7/1 with Paddy Power.
Sunderland v Derby
Sunderland are in a sorry state and with Jason Steele in goal (Robin Ruiter probably missing) I can see them leaking goals tomorrow. All sorts of trouble behind the scenes and some of the signings have been bizarre, despite the fact Grayson has experience with them. Derby's business hasn't been amazing but they do have one of the best goalscorers back in Chris Martin. He threw the toys out of the pram last year with Fulham but back at Derby he should be backed to score regularly.
€10 on Chris Martin 1st Goalscorer @ 6/1 with Paddy Power
Starting Bank - €200
In Play - €200
