I always like to have a few ante post spread bets in place for the start of the football season and I think I have found a few that will keep me interested for the majority of the season.
I don't look below the Championship as I find League 1 and 2 very tough to call as I know very little about most of the teams.
So we have:
Premiership Relegation Index - Buy Wigan @ 17
Last = 60pts, Second Bottom = 40pts, Third Bottom = 30pts, Fourth Bottom = 20pts, Fifth Bottom = 10pts, Sixth Bottom = 5pts. All others = 0.
I think Wigan may find it a tough old season this time round as they struggled last season and have with a leaky defence and lack of any real quality going forward a relegation battle is the best they can look forward to.
Championship Points Index - Buy Bristol City @ 70
They have Steve Coppell on board and I am sure that he would not have gone there if he didn't mean business, the signing of David James was a very positive move.
They managed 63 points last season and should do much better this time round.
Championship Outright Index - Buy Derby @ 4
Winner = 60pts, Second = 40pts, Third = 30pts, Fourth = 20pts, Fifth = 10pts, Sixth = 5pts. All others = 0.
A bit of a low risk punt this one, they didn't really fire on all 4 cylinders last season under Clough junior finishing 14th and I am sure he will be looking for a much better campaign this season 6th place or better will see us in the dosh.
Championship Outright Index - Buy Sheffield Utd @ 9
They managed to finish 8th last season on 65 points I rate Kevin Blackwell as a decent manager and they look to have enough going for them to have a decent campaign, 5th place or higher will see us in the money.
The benefit of taking these as spread bets is that I will be able to trade them as the season progresses.
