Looking forward to the Premier League season starting? I certainly am to fill the void of no football during the summer other than the Confederations Cup, Which if I am to be honest only interests me when the big guns are playing and holds limited betting opportunities.
So with the Premier League 2013/14 season fast approaching it is worth looking at some of the betting options it will have to offer early doors. Especially as with the changes to squads during the transfer market and indeed managerial changes it can make the odds you get fluctuate, Indeed in your favour it you pick the correct time to place you bets or are interested in trading your bets when the odds move in your favour on sites such as Betfair or Betdaq.
Let’s just have a look a the top goal scorer market today and we can cover the others later.
Premier League Top Goal Scorer
Personally I think the safest bet when picking a likely top scorer is to stick with the top of the table teams such as Manchester Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City or even Liverpool and Tottenham.
At this point I’d stick my nose out and say your safest bet would be Robin Van Persie again, even with the managerial change they will strengthen the squad and give him the service needed to find the back of the net.
Other players to consider are Luis Suarez of Liverpool who if not for his biting antics wouldn’t have been rightly banned and so would have been up there at the end of last season. But saying that he seems to want a move away so no guarantee he will actually be playing in the Premier League or who his replacement will be. Daniel Sturridge is fast growing into a quality player and is certainly an outside chance.
Lets have a look at Manchester Cities options in Edwin Dzecko, Carlos Tevez and of course Sergio Aguerro. All quality players capable or scoring plenty of goal but in my opinion due to the squad rotation that goes on at City unlikely to be right at the top. Unless the new manager chooses to stop rotating as much but only time will tell with that one.
What about Chelsea? Well who knows who is going to be there once Mourinho has made his changes to the squad. I can’t see Torres suddenly turning into the player of his Liverpool days and although Ba is a quality player I can’t see him playing enough.
The above are just a few of the options but with the transfer market just getting going, Along with rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo back to United, Higuain to Arsenal and even Cavani to Chelsea you may well want to wait until a bit closer to the season before picking your best bet.
