How do you guys position your bets for the first matchday? I set my bets as follows and I would like to here your opinion.
Fulham vs Arsenal # win of Arsenal @ 1.58
Liverpool vs Leeds # over 3.5 goals @ 2.33
Tottenham vs Everton # double chance Everton @2.11
Brighton vs Chelsea # win Chelsea @ 1.69
I wouldn't go for 3.5 on the Liverpool game. Maybe 2.5 as I think the score might be 3-0, at least that's what I'm going for. It's certainly the game I'm most looking forward to. Maybe Leeds could take advantage of no crowds at Anfield and also being the underdogs to get a shock point or two. I think Liverpool will still be too strong for them but it's a good tester as they're playing against the PL Champions and one of the best clubs in the world so if they can do well against them who knows what could happen this year.
If last season, Chelsea only finished in 4th position, this season Chelsea must be able to enter the top 3. I read in the sports news, the amount that Chelsea spend to buy some players this season is 200 million pounds.
Yeah they are bit around around 200 million. If Ziyech transfer would have been in this window then would have put more than that. Chelsea have done a great job buying players this season and bolstering their squad. It will be interesting to see how much time it would take to fit all those players into their roles accordingly. Would take some time but they have good amount of time since it's fresh start.
Here is how Chelsea squad look:
Edit: Now I wonder I guess they forgot Mason Mount up there
Ziyech, Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell are out for the opener. They still shouldn't have any issues beating Brighton.
