Premier League Champions
Chelsea - $6.00
Chelsea showed us a taste of their potential when Thomas Tuchel took over from Frank Lampard in midseason. Tuchel worked wonders with a defensive unit that was one of the team’s weaknesses. This defence becomes the best unit in the EPL and arguably one of the best in Europe as Tuchel lead Chelsea to a Champions League title. During this excellent run, Chelsea produced 3 consecutive victories over the Premier League champions Manchester City. Last season Chelsea spent a lot of money upgrading their attacking unit with the signings of Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech. There was a lot of pressure put on these players to instantly perform at their new club, but this pressure was misplaced as it is a big change to move into the more physical premier league. This season however with the experience they accumulated in the last campaign these players are all positioned well to succeed. Over the last few seasons of the Premier League, it hasn’t been the teams with the best attacks that have gone on to lift the cup, it has been the defensive effort that has got them across the line. It also looks like Romelu Lukaku is heading back to Chelsea which will further solidify their attack.

Top Premier League Scorer
Mohamed Salah - $5.50
Mo Salah is already a 2-time winner of the Golden Boot award and will be set to go for a 3rd this season. Salah won the award in the 17/18 season and the 18/19 seasons, as well as coming close in the past 2 seasons. In the 19/20 season, Salah ended up 5th in the race with 19 goals in a season where he played his fewest games in his Liverpool career. Last season Salah finished 2nd to Harry Kane by a single goal. Salah is in a prime spot to take the award this season with plenty of questions surrounding anyone else in the top tier or scorers. Harry Kane is linked to Man City where he will end up with less game time due to the Guardiola rotation policy. If Kane doesn’t move I don’t believe his heart will be in it for Spurs, if he plays at all. Timo Werner will likely be in a rotation at Chelsea as well as they move closer to a Lukaku signing. Bruno Fernandes isn’t the most prolific scorer from open play and is a gamble taking him on his penalty ability alone. Jamie Vardy began to show signs of ageing at the end of last season and will start the process of handing over the baton at Leicester this season. The only other players that would even be worth a mention are Aubameyang, who needs to lock down the sole striker position to increase his consistency and Calvert-Lewin who will be playing in a new more defensive system. With all of these players throwing out question marks, I see Salah as the obvious choice to take this award. If you're going to bet this option, you have to place your bet before the start of the season as Liverpool’s opening fixtures are very promising to net Salah multiple goals.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United - $2.50
This is a bet I love this season, as there is a monumental drop-in class between the top 4 and the rest of the league this season. Each of these teams has made signings that I'm proves them as a team and shows their need for Champions League football. Not only have these teams made signings, but they have all upgraded the biggest need that they had coming into the season (bar Man City, unless they get Kane). These 4 teams have controlled the top 4 over the last 2 seasons and have the depth to deal with a gruelling season of both domestic and European fixtures. I see the terrific value in this bet and feel this is well over the odds.

Arsenal - $2.37
Now Arsenal gets a lot of criticism as a perennial underperformer, but this feels like the season that everyone is already writing them off as also-rans. Arsenal has a decent roster that is stacked full of young high potential players, and we started to see last season a few of these players taking the next step. Young players like Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney and Nicolas Pepe are all high ceiling players that are now set to break out in the Arteta system. Aubameyang is an elite player that will benefit from a sole striker position if Arsenal is successful in selling Lacazette. Even though I see this as an overpay, I really like the signing of Ben White from Brighton. White is a great defender who will fill a hole in the Gunners weakest area. Another huge positive for Arsenal this season is their lack of European football. The biggest challenge for Arsenal last season was the travelling the young team had to undertake. This was evident in the premier league as they had a terrible record after any midweek away fixture. With Arsenal solely based in the UK this season, they have an excellent opportunity to get back to basics and start to rebuild the reputation of this once-storied franchise.

Danny Ings 10 or Fewer - $7.00
Danny Ings is on the move and will find his new home at Aston Villa. Ings has been brilliant at Southampton over the past few seasons, but this has been on a team where he is one of the only attacking weapons and hasn’t had to compete for his spot on the team sheet. This season Ings joins an Aston Villa side that is packed with competitive attacking threats. Ings will be in a competition to displace incumbent striker Ollie Watkins, who was great last season. Watkins could shift out to the wing if they wanted to fit all of their talents onto the pitch at once, but this will create a situation of too many mouths to feed in an attack that is brand new to the system. The Villa attack reminds me of Chelsea’s last season with a completely new look to it. This didn’t bode well for Chelsea in year one as their 3 attacking signings only managed 12 goals between them and no player on the team scored more than 7 (Jorginho on penalties). I also struggle to see Danny Ings in a consistent 90-minute role as he is a 1 position player who doesn’t have the flexibility to move around to fit the other players in. Wesley returned to fitness at the end of last season and will command striker minutes off the bench if Watkins doesn’t take them first. Lastly, I really don’t like Danny Ings’ injury history. In 8 seasons in the premier league, Ings has played in 30 or more games only twice. Ings has had major problems with his knees and hamstrings in particular and last season alone missed 7 games due to these injuries. With the depth in the position that Aston Villa has, Ings may find it difficult to break back into the starting lineup if he is sidelined by injury.

Crystal Palace - $2.75
Crystal Palace has been excellent in the premier league as they enter their 9th consecutive season in the competition. However, all good things must come to an end and the change of management looks to be the nail in the coffin here. Roy Hodgson was a great defensive-minded coach for Palace, however, you could start to see his defensive tactics undone by the lack of talent they held last season. Crystal Palace conceded 66 goals last season, which was the 3rd most in the league. Palace has made a couple of defensive signings, but they are not players that will be ready to compete in the physical premier league straight away without defensive lapses. Patrick Viera is the Eagles new manager and has a short resume since his playing career. Viera employs a possession-based scheme where he likes to see his fullbacks move forward. This tactic will not be conducive to the way the Palace roster is set up. There isn’t enough talent on the team to successfully run a possession game, and moving his fullbacks forward will expose the Eagles poor defence. For these reasons, I can see Crystal Palace conceding a lot of goals this season and be open for the counterattack all year. In attack, Crystal Palace lives and dies on the performance of Wilfred Zaha. Zaha has great potential but has been constantly undone by not having other top players to link up with. If Palace cant get their new system to work in a hurry I would not be surprised if Zaha asks for a move away midseason. Viera holds a negative goal differential in his managerial career.
