    Hi all? Most of my bets nowadays are EPL. I want to keep a few spreadsheets of info this season with general info and my own observations. Just wondering is there a best source for certain info, like player ratings ?

    Any pointers on best type of bets and/or best info to record?? I'm just looking for ideas from any willing posters. Want to take as much off the bookie as possible, if I don't succeed then I'd like to keep losses to a minimum.
    Thanks.

    WhoScored is prob the best for this because it's statistic based and not naked-eye based like a newspaper every week etc.

    Thank you Callaway, I'll check that out.

    Mane, Firmino, Alli, Lacazette, Ramsey to score 8+ premier league goals 14/1 (BV)

    Liverpool to finish top 2, Newcastle bottom half, Huddersfield relegated 8/1 (W Hill)

    Mane to score 10+ league goals 4/5 (BV) - has done it 4 seasons in a row and could be on penalties this year too

    Mane, Firmino, Alli, Lacazette, Ramsey to score 8+ premier league goals 14/1 (BV)

    Just to give a bit more detail on this one:

    Mane's scored 10, 13, 11, 11 in last 4 seasons - he has had injuries in last 2 seasons which means he has a good goals to games ratio but is susceptible to missing parts of the season.

    Firmino scored 15, 11, 10 in his 3 seasons in England wit last season his best year.

    Alli got 10, 18 and 9 in his 3 years at Spurs. I'd expect him to leep up similar form but after Ramsey he'd be my biggest doubt.

    Lacazette was very prolific in France and got 14 league goals last season for Arsenal.

    Ramsey is the big risk - his goal record over the last 5 seasons reads 7,1,6,5,10. Obviously has missed large chunks due to injury but played quite a bit last year and Emery is said to want to give him a more central role this season. I think if he can play as many minutes as he did last season he has a pretty decent chance of 8 goals..

    I'm quite confident in the other 4 if they are fit but I suppose with 5 players there is every chance someone gets injured and misses a lot of games but have to say I think the odds of 14/1 are pretty decent.

    I'm thinking of backing him @ 8/1 to be Liverpool top scorer, would love to know for sure he will be taking pens...

    Yeah when originally heard he might be on pens I thought he might have a 20 goal season - but Liverpool only got 3 pens last year. 5 seems about the norm for top team while Palace got 9 last year.

    Personally think Salah will score 30+ goals again as long as he’s fit.

    Think the 8 to 1 bet has a great chance . I expect Liverpool to be second at worst . First 8 spots or so are gone in league so Newcastle basically need to come top 2 in what I would call the 12 teams in danger of going down . And Huddersfield could well suffer second season syndrome and struggle big time

    Most of it looks pretty bulletproof to me, might 'borrow' a chunk of it for my acca.:P West Ham possibly the weakest link?


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,523 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    Atletico top 4 ,1/5 Is it ?
    I'd probably go winner without Barca/Real at 2/5.They have bought extremely well and are a really settled club.
    I think they will push both teams all the way and may win the league, have a few quid on them to win at 10s.

    Rangers 6/1 to win league outright

    Manuel Pellegrini should have them top 10 imo

    Still standing by this?:P

    Same man is apparently 12/1 with PP for the sack race. If I had an account with them I'd say I'd be lumping right now...

    5/1 now. I wonder would you actually have got it at 12/1?

    Anyone doing anything with the Champions League (or Europa)?

    You'd think the CL top scorer field might be more open this year, looking at Lewandowski or Bale, but I've a sinking feeling it'll be CR7 or Leo again...


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,054 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    Well I've signed up with Sky Bet (to give them their proper name) to back another Jose special: to be the first to lose his job and United to finish outside the top 4 @ 12/1.

    Have just stuck a few bob on Benitez (also @ 12s) for the sack race in case the Mourinho frenzy turns out to be unfounded. If anyone else was managing Necastle I'd say he'd be gone already, or half out the door. Don't see any other sacking as any way imminent...

    been thinking about backing derby for the past two weeks since they hammered west brom away and almost beat boro
    they were 10/1 before todays match, went behind and came back to win by two


    they are now 15/2

    I really fancy them

    sheff utd will fall away, wouldn't back boro with stolen money, fancy leeds will fall away also...not sure bout norwich tbh
    there's only 7pts between top and tenth also and every week or two a different team is top

    villa at home is next for them and that price of 11/10 at home to a team in dire form away from home looks good to me


    anyone have any thoughts or about any other team in any other league so maybe we could get rich together :D

    Mane, Firmino, Alli, Lacazette, Ramsey to score 8+ premier league goals 14/1 (BV)

    Liverpool to finish top 2, Newcastle bottom half, Huddersfield relegated 8/1 (W Hill)

    Mane to score 10+ league goals 4/5 (BV) - has done it 4 seasons in a row and could be on penalties this year too

    Little update on these:

    Mane - 6 goals
    Lacazette- 5 goals
    Firmino - 2 goals
    Alli - 1 goal
    Ramsey - 1 goal

    First 2 almost there and would still expect Firmino and Alli to hit purple patches and get near double figures. Ramsey’s contract issue and subsequent loss of his starting place has pretty much killed this one though which is annoying as he started the season in a really central high role and was looking very dangerous.

    Second bet is looking on course with Liverpool 2nd, Newcastle 14th and 8 points off top 10 and Huddersfield 19th. Liverpool and Huddersfield will be touch and go for those positions all season I would imagine.

    Mane to score 10+ is looking very safe unless he get injured so only regret is not getting on heavier than I did - that said you never know with injuries etc

    Was thinking the same last night watching them. Very ordinary team with a lot of championship players

    Bet as of one of the previous pages ended up being:
    West Ham Top Half
    Middlesborough Top 6
    Portsmouth Top 6
    MK Dons Top 7
    Salford Promotion
    Juve Champions
    Atletico W/O Madrid/Barca

    65/1

    Odds down to around single figures now! West Ham the cause for concern...
