First season with a lower league club - Coventry: Promoted to Championship!
Ok so around a week ago I decided that I wanted to play with a lower league team. I didn't wanted to go that low but I definitely wanted that rush of fighting for promotion and bring a team all the way to champions league glory over the course of many seasons. I've managed multiple teams in FM20 but they've all been at least first division teams. Chelsea 12 seasons. Man Utd 9 Seasons, A. Villa 14 seasons and Dormund 6 seasons. I decided Skybet League One would be a nice challenge for my first lower club and then spent quite a bit. I didn't want to make the challenge too hard on my by picking Bolton (they start with -12 points) but I also didn't want a "wealthy" team like Sunderland where I would just have the ability to buy monster player (for League One level ofc) and absolutely demolish everyone. After a while I decided to settle with Coventry. First because they start with no budget which meant I would have to work with what the team got and the very low payroll available meant that I couldn't get too many loans and not of high quality. The second reason is because on my A.Villa save Callum O'Hare ended up becoming one of my best players and ended up retiring as my team captain at 37 and he's on loan at Coventry at this first season.
The Formation
I knew I wanted to try something different. I didn't want to go with the classic 4-2-3-1 Gegenpressen. I started looking at my options in the team and realized I had a decent amount of DCs, 2 fantastic wing backs, a decent midfield and one pretty decent striker with a right winger that could also play up front and had ideal stats to be a second support man for my striker. With my sick wing backs, and the lack of a decent left winger (at least if I wanted to make it to playoffs which was my initial goal) I decided I wouldn't play wingers. And after like 4 or 5 league matches I ended up sticking with what would become the definitive formation. A nice 5-2-1-2 which allowed me to have a strong middle with very creative players (cause the 3 DCs fixed a lot of the mistakes and lack of defense they had) and also exploit the wings. Here's my full tactics (I would change some things here and there for some matches but this was what I used the most) and I'll also give some details about each player: https://preview.redd.it/uc7kd5y8iyd61.png?width=1366&format=png&auto=webp&s=a46feec2edc1fbc93a07ae600b1318721a676d22 GK - Marko Marosi: Slovakian GK with a good rating for the first team. The team has another option in Ben Wilson but there's definitely no competition here, Marosi is far superior. At first I wanted to bring a better GK on loan as I didn't fully trust Marosi but he ended up proving me wrong. He ended up being the keeper with most shutouts (19) and only conceded 31 goals. He played all but 2 matches and he's honestly a monster shot stopper with amazing reflexes. WBR - Fankaty Dabo: The Sierra Leone beast! Well kinda. For sure one of our best players with his very high pacing and acceleration paired with very good passing and decent crossing... But holy shit does he have abysmal fitness. Seriously he ended up missing 15 League One matches cause he would end up demolished after every match and sometimes wouldn't get back in time. He was a monster every match but would need to get subbed around the 70th minute consistenly. He ended up being the captain in most matches and gave us a solid 14 assists in 43 matches across all competitions. DCR - Josh Pask: Supposedly our young player with the brightest future. He started the season injured and had a long way to go with being 4 months out. Started with Rose in this position but as the season went on, he was making a lot of mistakes and after a month of so of Pask being back to the team he told me he wanted more play time and ended up making it a lot better than Rose and even scoring some key goals! He's very physically strong and ended up becoming a started very fast after he recovered. DC - Dominic Hyam: Ended up being our best defender and definitely rock solid. I think he's the reason my defense worked so well, having amazing positioning, tackling and marking meant he rarely made mistakes and would often fix some mistakes the other defenders made. He's a slower defender but I always trusted him and it payed off. Rarely goes attacking but his defense is so good you can't ask more honestly. DCL - Kyle McFadzean: One of our experienced players. I had my doubts, he's already 34 yo and I was fearing he would be too slow. I gave him a started spot cause he's basically Hyam but older, pretty similar stats but he's insanely determined and also has a high leadership so I thought he'd be the one to keep our defense in control. He's also physically strong but it's one of those players that only knows how to do one thing. He wasn't spectacular but never dissapointed honestly. WBL - Sam McCallum: One of our loaned players. He was the other fantastic wing back I realized the team has. He's on loan from Norwich and boy am I happy he have him. He's very fast and a monster at tackling. He's also physically gifted and would run up and down the entire match. Surprisingly ended up being out 3rd goalscorer and most of those goals would be headers cause he would usually enter the box unmarked and just net a most good crossings. He ended up being top 5 in the average ratings on the league and I'd say he's like our 3rd-4th best player. 7 assists. MCR - Zain Westbrooke: Is slowly becoming our star. This is the position I had a lot of doubts with. Most other positions I knew the players that would start but this one changed a lot. I started with Liam Kelly, team captain but he's an older defensive midfielder and with already 3 defenders in the back he didn't seem necessary. Then I tried Jordan Shipley. He's defintely good and I'm happy we have him on the team but never ended up being as good as I needed. Then came Westbrooke, he was decent at first but as the season went on started to become better and better. He's definitely the one doing the dirty work in the middle often coming down to support in defense and he was usually the one starting the attack. Insane passing and the definition of consitency. He ended up 4th in the average ratings and also managed to give 7 assists across all competition. He's not as notorious as our other midfielder but he definitely was a key part of out title run. If you want to make a comparison to better understand his role, he's pretty much Makelele for Los Galacticos, he might not be as appreciated as his partners but he's fundamental for the whole team to function. MLC - Liam Walsh: Without a doubt the star of the team... Sadly, he's only a loan. A classic box to box but he's definitely more offensively oriented. He's the creative machine on my team. It's insane how good he is with amazing dribbles and unreal passes, he would eat up entire defenses by himself leaving our strikers wide open to score. I can't tell you how many times he made long range passes that I was just like "How the fuck could he see that and execute it with such precision". He was decent at defense as well. He ended up being the 1st player on the average ratings in League One and gave an insane 22 assists to also be ranked 1st on that regard. He was definitely the most important piece of our title run cause the kid simply drops assists left and right. He's also a fucking machine and would never stop running. Sadly I don't think I can bring him back cause he's too expensive and with Bristol City getting promoted to the Premier League there's no way he can get him on loan again, they're gonna need his insane passes if they plan to fight and not get relegated next season. AMC - Callum O'Hare: My boy. As I said, in my Villa save he ended up being a club legend so I had high hopes with him. He never was amazing tbh but was always fairly consistent. I wanted him to be the star of my team but never trully managed to do so. He definitely got better in the second half of the season and started to give a lot of assists and managed to end with 15 in the league and finally started to meet my expectations around february. I sadly don't think we can get him back on loan next season. STCR - Jordy Hiwula: Monster goalscorer. This dude for sure was the surprise of the season and a very pleasant one. I had him here mosly as supposed for who was supposed to be my main striker. Jordy is a natural right winger with insane pace and acceleration and very good passing so I thought he would be feeding a lot of passes to my striker. He doesn't even have high finishing at all but holy fuck he put the team on his back this season. 36 goals across 49 matches in all competitions, with 28 being in the league which allowed him to finish as the top goalscorer and 3rd in the average ratings. He's a bit irregular cause he can destroy a team in a matter of minutes but some matches he would simply not show up at all. I think a big part of his success was Walsh feeding him with insane long passes and him beating defenders with his absurd pace. He would also miss a lot of 1 on 1 vs the GKs but with the amount of times he got to the box without any pressure he definitely scored often. STCL - Matt Godden: Decent striker but definitely deserved more time. I thought he would be our top goalscorer and he definitely didn't do bad, getting 18 goals in 31 matches across all competitions. At the beginning of the season I got Alejandro Marqués from Zebre and had high hopes on him and gave him a lot more time than Godden. While Maqués wasn't bad, he definitely missed a lot of shots, like he would get stopped by the defense and the keeper very often. I realized Godden was the more solid option in the last like 2-3 months of the season and he scored a decent amount of goals.
I'll start with the bad news first. We got pretty unlucky in both the FA and the Carabao cup, we barely managed to meet the expectations for these competitions cause we got paired against unbeatable opponents. We got knocked on the second round of the Carabao Cup after Chelsea pushed our shit in on a 5 - 0 match, we really had no hopes and went as defensive as we could but yeah, it was a guaranteed loss. Then on the third round of the FA cup we get no other than Man City, I couldn't believe our luck. We actually did amazing on the match, it ended 2-1 in favor of City but we actually pressured the entire game and it ended up being a hearthbreaker as we hit the post 2 times in the 91st and 94th minute, we were actually very close to at least forcing a replay which would have been huge for our ego. Still I'm proud of my team for still playing our game again Man City. We obviously won the league with an amazing 34-4-6 record (I never save scum no matter what). Here's the full league table in case someone is interested: Last team is Southend with 30 points and a 6-12-26 record The odds at the beginning of the season had us finishing 5th which meant we would have to work extra time to even get to play offs. But we started winning a lot, scoring a lot of goals and we never dropped more than 3rd place in the entire season. By February we had a a consistent 8-11 points difference between us and the 2nd-3rd and 4th place (which you can see ended very much with the same points) and while we ended with almost a 20 point diferential we only got our first title fight with 5 matches left, in what was the most aggravating match of my FM career. It was against Burton who finished 20th and it started as expected. We ended with a great 3-0 in the first half. They scored a goal at 63 and I was still calm. Then nothing happened for the rest of the match, I was getting ready to lift the trophy with my boys. The ref gives 4 minutes of injury time, whatever. Their fricking right back with abysmal finishing and long shots scores an absolute screamer in 92, I started to get scared. The match keeps going, 94 minutes have passed and it's literally like the ref is waiting for them to score again to end it and welp they did... On the 96 MINUTE FOR FUCK SAKE. I was so mad that I stopped playing for a couple hours, couldn't believe the bullshit. I knew we would still win the title but that tie was so infuriating, just cause how it happened. The fight for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th places actually got very intense at the end as literally all 3 teams crashed terribly in the last 4 matches and didn't even manage to get a win, like none of them lol. The last match Peterborough was at 86 going into the last match, same as MK Dons also with 86 and then Oxford with 85, so yeah, all 3 had the worst end season possible. As of writing this MK Dons and Oxford will play the final and I'm rooting for the Dons, they deserve it, they were 2nd place for most of the season and just had terrible luck in the last month of the league. It also didn't help a lot that they got 17 ties! But they even have less losses than us lol. In the Leasing.com Trophy we actually managed to get our second title of the season but it was honestly always easy af. We got Bristol Rovers in the Southern Section Semis (Regional Final) which we smashed 3-0 and then got Sunderland in the Finals, which was our only close match but even then we managed to get a 1-0 win.
Going Forward
Ok so we are a Championship team now, that feels amazing! But we still don't have any budget to buy players and like a 1M debt so we'll have to keep living off loans from young starts from top teams that need to give them more playtime. My aim for next season is to not get relegated, I'm trying to be realitic and I know the Championship can be vicious. I honestly don't care in what position we finish but I need us to stay in the Championship. I think a realistic plan is for us to stay in the Championship for like 4-5 more years which would help the team with its debt so we can actually start getting a budget and purchease players of our own.
Loan extensions: I actually managed to extend McCallums loan for another season and I couldn't be happier, that's some weight off my shoulders. As I said I think getting Walsh back for another year is impossible, specially cause Bristol is now a Premier League team and Liam is literally better than every other player in his position that they currently own. I also tried to get O'Hare for an extra year but Villa said that they actually wanted to keep him as an squad player and he definitely will gain more importance as the season goes on, both wil. I'm proud of my boys regardless and wish them sucessful careers. I won't try to get Marqués back he simply wasn't good enough.
Purcheasing players?: I actually got an increase on my payroll and with Walsh and O'Hare leaving I managed to get enough money to get a great improvement of a GK in James Talbot which used to play for Bohemians (Irish league) and for how cheap he was, he's already better than Marosi and a good for Championship level. Sadly he'll be the only purchease of the season.
Loans I'm looking for: I currently don't have like an specific player that I want on loan and I'll spend the next few days scouting as much as I can to build a solid team. I do know the positions I want to get players tho. I need a right winger that can help Dabo. I need an starter DC. I need a new Walsh lol, just an star midfielder that takes charge of creativity. I need an starter AM or AP cause I already have a decent academy kid but he isn't ready to be a starter. And finally I need an Striker that can really put pressure on Godden and maybe even do better. I definitely need all these guys if we are to have a chance and not get relegated. I also think a defensive midfielder for the more diicult matches against the top dogs in the championship but we'll see about this one as the transfer window goes on.
And that's it for me guys, I know this was a long post but I was so hyped about my team and I definitely feel like this lower league experience is amazing, I'm glad I finally decided to try it. I'm also open to suggestion for loans you might have that might work on this system I have cause I'm kinda scarred about getting rekt on the Championship lol. Thanks for reading :)
The Premier League is back this weekend, which means a resurgence in Match Betting. Here is my 3 Part Mega Guide to making £500 for several hours work, and then making £500- £1000 on a monthly basis.
So a lot of you will know that I regularly post guides and tips about match betting, However since the same questions always come up in the comments, I decided to make one big, very thorough Mega Guide in order to eliminate as many doubts as possible for you guys. Like I said before, This guide is a handy way to sort out a month's rent for 5 or 6 hours work, so I really hope it can be of use to someone. Anyway, Here it is: PART 1: MATCH BETTING EXPLAINED; HOW TO MAKE £500 IN 5/6 HOURS Having done my research and having been able to turn a really nice profit in such a short time, I wanted to make a short guide to eliminate people's doubts and simplify things a little. Since it really doesn't take a lot of time to hit that £500 profit mark, it's a shame not to try it out. Anyway, Here it goes: I was sceptical as hell about Match betting because a friend showed me the Facebook groups and it just looked like a giant gambling pyramid scheme. It turns out there is a decent chunk of change to be made from it, you just need to follow the guides and never ever actually gamble with your money. Never ever Gamble?Yes That's right, you are going to be using Gambling sites to complete the various offers, but the whole idea behind match betting is that every time you "make a bet", you match that same bet on the exchange. So for example, if I bet £10 for Real Madridto Winon the Bookie Site at odds of 2.5, I then also make a Matched bet on the Exchange (This is a separate site such as Smarkets or Betfair) where I bet for Real Madridnot to winat odds of 2.5 (or as close as I can get to those odds).In this way I am covered in all outcomes, and it allows me to fulfill the requirements of the bookies offer (For example Bet £10 and get £30 in Free bets) What's the difference between the Bookie Site and the Exchange?On the Exchange Site you are basically being the Bookie and just like a Bookie, you have liability. If I bet £10 and my bet wins at odds of 2.5 then I win £25, so the bookies liability for this bet is £15, the extra money that they would have to give me if I win. There arecalculatorson the Match betting sites which you can use to calculate what Liability you need to enter on the exchange each time you make your matched bet. There is also software to help you find what games have the closest odds on both the bookies and the exchange, which is very important. What do I do when I get my free bets?It's the same process again, You find a game that has very close odds on both the bookies and the exchange ( You can do this by eye or by using odds matching software. A good site with this software is called OddsMonkey). Only this time when you use the calculator to work out your liability, you will set it to "Free bets SNR" so it knows you are not using real money. It will tell you how much Liability to use in the exchange and off you go. How does this make me money?The fact that you have a free bet to use is what makes you money, For example a £30 free bet at odds of 5.5 in the bookies will win you £135 (30x 4.5, because the original free bet stake of £30 is not returned to you). Now let's say that the closest odds I can find in the Exchange for the same game are 6.0, I will need a liability of £112.50 to match my free bet in the bookies ( I use the calculator on oddsmonkey to work this out) £135- 112.50 = £22.50 in Profit. Alternatively if my bet on the exchange wins, I will lose the free bet of £30 (but it's not actually a loss to me because It's not real money) and I will win £22.50 on the exchange. Either way, I make a Profit of £22.50 What about providing card details?You can use a separate, virtual bank account for all your match betting, In this way your main banking information is not shared with any of the sites you sign up to. A good one to use is Monzo, the app is easy to use and it only takes5 minutesto open an account. It'sfree to openan account and last I checkedthey actually have a referral scheme where you get £5 if you sign up through a referral link. Non Referral here: https://monzo.com/ Where can I learn to do it? There are some sites that you have to pay a monthly subscription to but I found one called Team Profit that is free and has a full guide of all the different offers you can complete. I worked my way down through the list of offers, nice and handy, and having completed 20 offers at 15 minutes per offer, I came out at £470 for 5 hours total of work. If you are new to this site and are opening a free account I would really appreciate if you use my Referral (£10) Here is the non referral link to the page with all the offers: https://www.teamprofit.com/welcome-offers-list TLDR: You do not need to "gamble" to match bet, in fact by definition, the bet you make is "matched" on the exchange, so it is not a gamble in any sense. PART 2: MAKING £500-£1000 EVERY MONTH. You may sometimes see people commenting saying they have made a lot more money since finishing the welcome offers, £1000-£1500 a month and such, but never saying exactly how... Personally I have made a lot more profit every month since I finished the welcome offers, Usually around the £1000 per month mark. People say that Match betting drys up once you finish the welcome offers but this is simply not true, it's a matter of being more organised and checking your email for new offers, while also checking the Reload Offers section on Team Profit every morning (Takes literally 5 minutes) Below is an Example from last month where I made £300 in one week. Bare in mind that the amount you make weekly will vary with the amount of sport that is on, but as long as there's sport, you will always be able to earn. This example is simply to show you the potential Match Betting has long after you've completed the Welcome offers: Here's exactly how I did it: Coral: Money back as a free bet up to £50 if your team is ahead in the first half but doesn't win the match in the end: Matched 5 Premier League games, 3 were successful. I received three £50 free bets which I matched and turned into £130 profit risk free. £130 in 30 minutes William Hill: Money Back as Cash if your horse comes 2nd- 2 of the 6 horses I matched came 2nd, I was also able to make a profit by just matching the bets because my odds were higher on the bookies side by using the Happy Hour odds (between 12pm-1pm, 3 horses with enhanced odds) and also the 3 daily bet boosts on Horse raising( to boost my odds on another 3 horses). £20 in 5 minutes Paddy Power: Money Back up to £10 if Horse comes 2nd 3rd or 4th, Matched the horse with the lowest odds and sure enough it came 3rd, got my £10 free bet. £8 in 3 minutes Skybet: Money Back as cash up to £10 if Horse comes 2nd 3rd or 4th, Matched the horse with the lowest odds and sure enough it came 3rd, got my £10. £9.50 in 3 minutes Skybet: Wednesday Super odds: Matched the three super odds on the exchange and due to the difference in odds (If the odds on the bookies are greater than those for same bet on the exchange you are automatically profiting). £10 in 3 minutes Boylesports: £10 Free bet if your bet loses(Premier League Match): £8 in 3 minutes Paddy Power 2up: An offer where you get paid out early if your time goes up by 2 goals, the profit varies depending on what the odds on the exchange are when you back the team you orignally lay against, but this offer can make you a lot of profit (You will need to download the team profit calculator app and use the early payout calculator). Last week it Made me £35. £35 in 5 minutes Novibet: Deposit £100 and get a £50 free bet. Very easy because you just have to deposit the money, get your free bet, withdraw your £100 straight away, then match the free bet on the exchange. £40 in 5 minutes Coral: Bet 3x £5 in play and get a £5 free bet-Availble everyday. Just match these at half time so the odds are stable, Make sure you also place mug bets every couple of days if you do this one a lot, I would reccomend doing it 5 times a week tops. £20 in 30 minutes Paddy Powe Skybet Bet clubs: Bet 5x £10 bets in a week to get a £10 free bet with Paddy Power. Bet £25 in a week to get a £5 free bet with Skybet. £10 in 30 minutes Above you can see the reality of making profit long after you've finished the welcome offers, but it comes down to organisation. So in Summary, these are my 6 Rules for making a monthly Profit: (1) Check your email daily for offers, many times bookies will send you personalised offers just for you, and these can be very VERY generous. (2) Check the Reload Offers section on Team profit every morning to see what offers are available that day. (3) Offers change all the time- Don't let this put you off. There are always new offers to replace the previous ones. There are also Weekly/Daily offers ( Coral £50 free bet, Paddy power refund if 2nd 3rd 4th, William hill money back if second, Paddy Power 2up, Bet clubs etc) which are constantly available when sport is on. (4) Make Mug bets ( Explained more in PART 3) (5)It all adds up. Don't think "It's only a £5 free bet, not worth matching". I get around 15 £5 free bets every week, If I ignored them all I would be down £200 at the end of the month. (6) Don't spend all day at it. Once you've checked your email and reload offers, you know what offers you need to do that day. Set alarms so you can make your matches before each event starts, but don't spend ages sitting at your computer waiting for "the perfect match", for your own mental health, set a time limit of 1 hour per day at most. PART 3: FAQ (1)How much money do you need to put in to start? When you go onto the offers page on Team Profit after signing up, there is an option to start with £25, £50 or £100. You can select one of those three options And it will show you a different number of offers according to your selection. I started with £100 because I wanted to get things moving a little quicker. I did this so that I would have enough money for liability to do a bigger earning offer at the start. One year later, and having see the potential for profit, I keep around £500 floating between my accounts. This is useful for large sporting events where I may want to do around 10- 15 offers in a short time. (2)Is it in anyway going to impact my credit score? Using gambling sites doesn't effect your credit score unless you borrow money to fund it. I do all my match betting through a virtual bank (Monzo) in order to keep that stuff out of my main bank on the off chance that it raises any eyebrows. You'll be using Monzo like a cash card, where you can only spend the money you put into the card. This is why it won't affect your credit score, because you wouldn't be taking out an overdraft or using credit for example. (3)What is Mug Betting? Mug Betting is where you make bets that have no relation to any offer or promotion in order to appear like a regular punter. If you are doing a lot of offers on one site, it's a good idea to make mug bets in order to avoid being "gubbed" (Gubbed is a term for when bookies realise you are only taking advantadge of promotions and close your account permanantly). Of course you will also Match these "Mug bets" on the exchange. Make 1-2 Mug bets on Each site every week(On the sites you are using a lot for offers and promotions) in order to ensure your accounts last longer than 1-2 years. I have been matching for well over a year and have never been gubbed. Take the extra couple of minutes to Mug bet, it's worth it. More on Mug betting here Ok so that's everything I can think of to share with you guys, The link to sign up to your free Team Profit account is at the bottom of Part 1 of this guide. TLDR: You do not need to "gamble" to match bet, in fact by definition, the bet you make is "matched" on the exchange, so it is not a gamble in any sense. I really hope this guide will help someone out because It really is a solid way to sort out a months rent for quite a modest amount of work. Thanks for Reading.
Match betting doesn't finish with the Welcome offers. Here is exactly how I make £1000 a month.
I often see people commenting saying they have made a lot more money since finishing the welcome offers, £1000-£1500 a month and such, but never saying exactly how...

Bet £25 in a week to get a £5 free bet with Skybet. £10 in 30 minutes So it's 5 things: (1) Check your email daily (takes litertally 2 minutes) (2) Check the Reload Offers on the site you use, I use Team profit (because it's free and just as good as any paid membership site) Here is a link to their reload offers which they update every morning: https://www.teamprofit.com/reload-offers-dashboard (3) Offers change all the time- Don't let this put you off. There are always new offers to replace the previous ones. There are also Weekly/Daily offers ( Coral £50 free bet, Paddy power refund if 2nd 3rd 4th, William hill money back if second, Paddy Power 2up etc) which are constantly available. (4) If you are using the same offer a lot on one site ,make mug bets. For example the Coral £50 free bet offer is availble on literally every premier league match, if you do just that offer 10 times in a week, you will be gubbed unless you have other bets on your account. (5) It all adds up. Don't think "It's only a £5 free bet, not worth matching". I get around 15 £5 free bets every week, If I ignored them all I would be down £200 at the end of the month. If you have any questions don't hesisate to ask, Thanks for reading. EDIT: I Have received quite a few pms asking how match betting works, so if you are wondering the same Here is a guide I made last month explaining exactly how to do it. Hope this helps
Hey, The COVID break means this season is actually starting quite soon after the last one finished. As a Leeds fan I am soooo hyped to get this season underway! Below I will share some season-long bets I have, alongside the reasoning why. I will also have a list of other bets I have backed, but the reasoning for these is mostly because I am an excited Leeds fan. Therefore, back the second list at your peril (And the first one in fairness, I can't guarantee anything beyond I put a bit of thought into them.)
MY PICKS (ALL PLACED ON SKYBET):
Leeds and Sheffield United Top Half @12.00 (£40 for £480) 1.1. Leeds and Sheffield United Top Half @10.00 (£52 for £520) (£92 for £1,000)
Leeds +40 Handicap Table @17.00 (£35 for £595) 2.2 Liverpool +5 @17.00 (£25 for £425)
Bielsa to win a Manager of the Month Award @9.00 (£11 for £99 [Now @7.00])
Sheffield Top Half (@3.50), Millwall Top 6 (@3.25), Blackpool Top 6 (@3.00) and Colchester Top 7 (@2.75) £50 total split £10 4-fold and 4x £10 Trebles for £260 Minimum for 3, £2,150 for all 4.
Aubameyang Top Scorer (@6.50), Ivan Toney (@10.00), Matty Taylor (@12.00), Ian Henderson (@9.00) Backed £2 E/W Yankee (Doubles, Trebles and 4-Fold). 3 Out of Placing in the Top 4 returns Stake. All 4 placing is £300. 1 Win and 2 Place is a bit of profit. All 4 winning is 21k.
.
MY REASONING:
This one I ended up double backing. Maybe there is a Leeds bias creeping in, but I feel like at a price of @12.00 and even @10.00 this is a smart bet. Sheff United have proven what they can do, and while they lost Henderson who was instrumental, Ramsdale is a tidy replacement. Leeds are a total wild card; I genuinely think we could come 20th or crack Top 6. I think we will start strong as no-one knows how to deal with Bielsa's play but then will suss it out on the return fixtures. I think this could very easily leave us in the Top half. Assuming Arsenal and Tottenham aren't garbage, the 'Big Six' take the top spots leaving 4 places for who? Everton, Leicester, Wolves, Sheff United; Maybe Leeds, Burnley, Southampton and Palace if they have strong seasons too. Therefore I think these two teams fighting for 2 of the 4 spots left at these odds is great, especially not including Spurs and Arsneal choking...
The way the handicap table works is Sky give each team a + points value (for Leeds its +40) and whoever comes top of the league with all of these values applied wins the league. Therefore it's not a case of Leeds coming 39 or less points behind Liverpool when they win, as Liverpool also get a +5. This means a team like Newcastle could win the Handicap League by coming 8th, as their 52 +48 might be enough to be greater than Liverpool's 84+5, City's 88+0 and Arsenal's 62+25. Ultimately what this table is trying to bet on (all @17.00 until the odds shift as more are backed) is which team will overperform the most. Again, could be a Leeds bias but @17.00 for +40 seems good to me as we are such a mystery, an unknown. Fulham and West Brom are +53 and +52 respectively, but we all know what they are about; it wasn't long before they were in the Prem last. (As a Side note, I will back Liverpool +5 @17.00 as that means if they get like 95 points, even losing the league to City, teams like Man U and Chelsea will need 85 in the same season and I can't see that happening). However, I think the Top 4 will be tighter this year with Man U and Chelsea putting up a challenge, meaning the overall total of points won't be so high as they will take points off one another. This could leave Leeds to take the Handicap victory when given 40+ points (May be consider backing E/W if you follow)
Again possible Leeds bias coming into play but it's no secret Bielsa is a highly renowned manager. Pep and Pochettino both learned what they know from him. Coming up to the Premiership with a newly promoted team gives him so much potential to have a month where he wins 4/4. If he pulls that off, he is likely to get it as no-one anticipates a newly promoted side to have a month that strong. In April we play two derbies against Sheff U and Man U, then also have Liverpool and City. If we have 3 draws and a win in that period, managing to draw against the titanic teams, he could win. With odds of @9.00 (even @7.00) I think this has a tonne of potential.
4. Sheffield United: Have proven they can get Top Half. While it was likely a bit of an anomaly and they fell flat towards the end, I don't see why they can't do it again. They have a similar strength team and the same manager and strong tactics to grind out results all season long. Millwall: Millwall have been knocking at the door and I think this year is they finally crack top 6. They are good defensively and have a good spine. They also have a couple of game winning talents in amongst the squad too. Blackpool: Disappointing 13th last year but it seems like Blackpool have made a real effort to make some key signings and bolster their weaker spots. Out of all of the League One teams, Blackpool's odds looked the best value as a lot of the other teams I fancied were all below Evens. Colchester: Coming 6th last year I reckon they can get top 7 again this year. My concern is they lack attacking threat but their defence seems to be rock solid. Usually defence is what is needed to do well over the whole season, while attack makes the difference between play-offs and auto. 5. Aubameyang: Scored 13 in 10 when he first joined in the back end of the 17/18 season. Won the Golden boot joint with Salah and Mane in 18/19. Last season scored 22 and missed out on Top scorer to Vardy with 23. This guy is consistent and unlike Mane/Salah, is likely to be free from competition of a similar calibre to himself within his own team. Toney: Brentford's new striker. Last season Brentford had Watkins (2nd with 25), Benrama (17) and Mbeuno (15) in the top 15 scorers. The season before that they had Maupay joint 2nd. Now they have brought in Toney to a team who is tipped to be in the top 3 teams most likely to get promoted; this means goals. Toney himself was Peterborough's and League One's top scorer last season with 25 so he knows how to put the ball away. Taylor: Top scorer for Oxford last season, the team that scored the 3rd most goals. This year Toney has moved to Brentford, Guandillet is in Turkey, Henderson has gone down to Salford, Eisa and Clarke-Harris will both compete for Peterborough's goals and Godden and Ladapo got promoted. I reckon we will see a lot of goals from oxford with Taylor being the main supplier. Henderson: Mentioned above, now at Salford, the favourites to win League Two this year after one season to feel out the league. Rochdale only scored 39 goals last season but so goals were few and far between but when the chances came it was mostly Henderson who put them away. Now playing for the best team in the 'easier' league we should see him picking up a serious haul.
MY EXTRA BETS:
Leeds to win the Prem (lol) @201
Leeds to get Top 4 @26
Leeds to beat Chelsea Home and Away (Stop Crying Frank Lampard) @26
Leeds to beat Liverpool Home and Away (Giant Killers) @51
Leeds to beat Man City Home and Away (The Master schools the Student) @101
Leeds to finish above Man U (Not happening with the biased pen-giving refs) @17
Bamford 15+ Goals @8
Rodrigo 15+ Goals @21 (Boosted from @14, seemed insane value even if he is more likely to be a creator than a finisher)
A whole bunch of long-shot Request-A-Bets that I recommend you browse and see what you like
What an insane season we’ve just had. There have been incredibly high highs, as well as horribly low lows, but we’ve made it through a fifth season in the premier league! With a sixth on the way, it is now time for months of mind numbing transfer speculation, and that’s what I’m here to provide to you! As always, please let me know if you want me to include anything new, or if I miss anything. Yours u/shoecat
I’m going to do my best to stick to good sources, but call me out if I post something from a shifty place and I’ll take it down or find it from a better source

Youri Tielemans
The Monaco loanee has completed his loan spell in Leicester, but after impressing, Rodgers is in to get him to sign, not without competition from the likes of United and Liverpool
After impressing on loan, the central defender is happy to stay for another season at Celtic, and Rodgers says that if the defender is to go on loan, Celtic would be the prefered destination
We are favourites to sign the Munich legend according to the bookies, but not currently in talks with the Holland man. What an insane world we live in.
United reportedly are in for Madders, and are claiming we set a £60 million price tag on him, but "the Foxes won't put price tags or valuations on players they are not looking to sell." Manchester City are also interested in the young midfielder, and are prepared to make a large bid on him
This is almost non-news but Maguire has clarified after liking a United fan's comment on instagram (that he would be a fan favourite,) that he didn't mean to like the comment
Leicester are set to sign the Arsenal U18 right back, I've seen a couple unofficial tweets that we have signed him but I'll make it official once the club does
The Sampdoria midfielder is not sold on a move to Leicester, saying that a bigger club that competes for trophies would better suit him. Leicester have had an €18 million bid rejected by the club, who value him at €25 million
I’ve decided to not do the Sky Bet odds because they’ve blocked out of country bets, and I am living in America and for the life of me can’t get past their block, so I can’t post these for the moment POSPAC is a legend and offering me weekly skybet updates on odds, so the table is back! All hail POSPAC
I want to track whether the "super boost", that sky bet offer actually give a good return on investment. I have been backing these for several months with varying degrees of success and now I want to make a tracker, which will be public for everyone to see if these are calculated enhances to mug off punters or genuine boosts to attract more customers. I hope to be filling this out for the whole season and hope others can get involved. I will be doing this strictly on their football enhanced bets so please comment if you do see one available that I haven't updated. I will be placing 1 unit on every boost. I'm going to select the start of the premier league as my start date and end as my end date. Funilly enough the first boost of the season won, so let's see if they can do it again tonight: The results:

Update - I have noticed Sky are now including goal scorers as a super boost. Previously they would have called this a double up boost, however as they haven't, I think it is only fair to include in the results. They can be easily removed if necessary Update 2- Skybet seem to be adding super boosts almost every day currently. If these get too much I will just be doing prem related boosts.
Hello all, as the season winds down, we are again being berated by transfer rumours from every corner of the earth. I’m here again to hopefully help organize the chaos that is silly season, so here is the 2018 edition of shoecat ‘s Summer Transfer and Rumour Megathread! (again borrowing the template created by lgfualol and company)
Staff Changes
Michael Appleton has left, Jacques Bonnevay replaces his as assistant manager. Pascal Planque, Mike Stowell, and new first team coach Adam Sadler make up the senior coaching team. More Information
Leicester set to race for the man dubbed the “Iranian Messi”, as clickbaity as that sounds, he could be an interesting signing as he has 23 goals in 31 caps for Iran and at 23 years old, he has plenty of time to develop his skills as well.
Imagine the chants for this one. Former Basel assistant coach has confirmed that Leicester are interested in the Norwegian international winger, which is a position with a lot of competition at the moment.
Leicester are reportedly in for the Nice striker, who was signed by Claude Puel during his time there. The striker seems to be ready for a move as well
Leicester are struggling to find a buyer for the Algerian striker, Sporting are showing interest in a loan deal, and Marseilles are also showing interest
The Brazilian winger is turning heads at Bordeaux, and Leicester have joined the race to sign the 21 year old, but Roma have submitted a 31.3 million offer for him
I thought it might be interesting to keep tabs on Leicester's odds on signing players, so below I'm including a table to show the Skybet transfer specials that we are a part of. Last Update: 8/8/18
That's all we have time for today, many thanks for joining us. We'll be back here from 7am tomorrow with the latest done deals, news and rumours. See you then! 21:58

'TRANSFER RUMOURS NOT NICE'
Ajax midfielder Frankie De Jong is getting tired of being linked to Barcelona, and says he does not find the rumours "nice" anymore. “I’m an Ajax player so I can’t say too much about it at the moment,” De Jong told Voetbal International. “Of course there is interest, everyone knows that, but I am an Ajax player, as I say. “In the beginning the transfer rumours are nice, but gradually I think I don’t need this anymore, they can write what they want. That’s not me and it’s not that I think ‘ah, that’s nice’.” 21:14
NZONZI TO BARCA?
Arsenal transfer target Steven Nzonzi is reportedly attracting interest from Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo. The Gunners have reportedly been put off his £35m valuation and Barca see Nzonzi as a more viable option than Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot. 20:44
Real Madrid are planning to offer Keylor Navas a new contract, reports La Nacion. Navas, who has been Madrid’s first-choice goalkeeper in each of the past three seasons, could drop down the goalkeeping pecking order at the Bernabeu this term if the European champions bring in Thibaut Courtois from Chelsea. However, it appears as though Madrid are still keen for the Costa Rica international to continue at the club, with La Nacion reporting that they are set to present him with a two-year contract renewal offer which would tie him to the La Liga giants until 2022. 20:06
MALCOM PRESENTED BY BARCA
New Barcelona signing Malcom has been presented by the club, with the player saying: "I am really happy to be here, it's a dream, playing at Barça is a great challenge and I hope to make the fans happy." https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/1022571318464667655 19:51
Sky Sports News understands former Manchester City midfielder Albert Rusnak will snub a number of offers to return to European football, and instead sign an improved contract to stay in the MLS with Real Salt Lake. Rusnak hinted last month that he was expecting to leave America in this window, with Sparta Prague among the clubs interested in him, but it now looks like he will be staying put, with Salt Lake offering him a new deal until 2021. 19:26
PALMER TO JOIN ROVERS
Chelsea’s young midfielder Kasey Palmer is joining Blackburn Rovers on a short-term loan deal until Christmas, Sky Sports News has learned. The deal won’t be completed until after the weekend. Palmer spent the second half of last season on loan at Derby County, and earlier this month it looked like he was bound for Pride Park again to join up with Chelsea legend Frank Lampard. But the 21-year-old will instead head to the North West for four months, once the paperwork is completed on Monday. 19:14
Unai Emery believes Aaron Ramsey is going to stay at Arsenal despite speculation surrounding his future. "Football changes every day. It's not easy. For that, I am thinking the match today first, then training tomorrow, then the match Saturday, with an important player here," the manager said. "Aaron is an important player for us, and the contract is one thing for the club and the player. For me, I want him to stay with us, to work with us, to give the team the big performance. "I think he is going to stay here with us." 18:30
ROANLDO'S FIRST GAME CONFIRMED
Cristiano Ronaldo will start his Serie A career with Juventus at Chievo. The Portugal forward became Juve's club record signing last month when he joined from Real Madrid for £99.2m. And Thursday's announcement of the opening round of Italian top flight fixtures sees him head to the Stadio Bentegodi for the champions' first match of the 2018/19 campaign, on the weekend of August 18-19. 18:16
ENQUIRIES FOR TRIO
Cardiff City have received enquiries for Lee Tomlin, Anthony Pilkington and Omar Bogle, but Neil Warnock has revealed the players may not leave until the last day of the window. "We've had one or two enquiries, that will all come up I would imagine and liven up in the next three weeks," he told Wales Online. "Especially when I announce my squad on the 9th (of August), the Football League have got another two or three weeks so I think a lot of them will be waiting until deadline as always." 17:59
RICHARLISON ON BENCH
Everton are playing in a pre-season friendly at Blackburn tonight, and new signing Richarlison is among the substitutes. 17:46
RABIOT GOING NOWHERE
PSG are unwilling to sell Adrien Rabiot this summer, reports L’Equipe. Rabiot, who is attracting interest from Barcelona and Juventus, is out of contract next year and PSG want to hand him a new deal. Even though he is inside the final 12 months of his deal, PSG are not contemplating cashing in on him this year. 17:32
VALVERDE HAS NEXT TARGET
Ernesto Valverde has identified Dani Parejo as his next target, according to Sport. The Valencia playmaker has been linked with a move to Barcelona before, but now the Catalans' interest in the 29-year-old is coming to a head. 17:16
Jeff Reine-Adelaide has joined Ligue 1 side Angers from Arsenal in a permanent deal, following a loan spell with the club earlier this year. The 20-year-old signed for the Gunners in July 2015 from Ligue 2 side Racing Club Lens. He made eight first team appearances over three seasons. 17:01
Get the latest from the Sky Sports News Transfer Centre. 16:37
SELS MAKES MOVE
Goalkeeper Matz Sels has completed a permanent move to French side Strasbourg from Newcastle. The 26-year-old joins the Ligue 1 outfit for an undisclosed fee after a two-year spell at St. James’ Park. https://twitter.com/NUFC/status/1022519589241069576 16:25
GUTHRIE JOINS STEVENAGE
Kurtis Guthrie has signed for Stevenage, subject to EFL registration. The striker was signed by Colchester from Forest Green Rovers in July 2016 and scored 13 goals across 49 appearances for the U’s. 15:50
LEEDS TARGET BAMFORD
Leeds are interested in Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post. New manager Marco Bielsa wants a striker for his squad, and Leeds have also been linked to Derby forward Matej Vydra. 15:35
CHESTER TO STAY AT VILLA
Captain James Chester is ready to snub Stoke and hand Aston Villa a further boost by staying at the club. The defender is keen to help Villa return to the Premier League, Press Association Sport understands. Stoke have made an offer, reportedly worth up to £10m, for the Wales international but he would prefer to remain at Villa Park. 15:21
EVERTON JOIN GONALONS RACE
Everton have reportedly joined the race for Roma midfielder Maxime Gonalons, according to the Liverpool Echo. Crystal Palace are also said to be tracking the Frenchman. 15:06
MUTO DEAL IN PRINCIPLE
Mainz 05 Sporting Director Rouven Schroder has confirmed they’ve agreed a deal in principle to sell striker Yoshinori Muto to Newcastle. The German club have said the transfer has been agreed subject to a few formalities and the player gaining a work permit. Muto is on his way to Tyneside from Tokyo. It’s our understanding the fee is £9.5m. 14:51
PJANIC ON THE MOVE?
Juventus will sell Man City transfer target Miralem Pjanic this summer, but only if they receive the same amount they paid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, according to Calciomercato. The Bianconeri view the Bosnian as good as Ronaldo and want at least £89m for him. 14:31
Barcelona are interested in out-of-favour Liverpool 'keeper Simon Mignolet, according to Marca. The arrival of Alisson at Anfield has pushed Mignolet further down the pecking order, and Barca want a potential replacement for Jasper Cillessen. 14:11
CAVANI NEW REAL TARGET
Edinson Cavani is Real Madrid's new number one target after Chelsea demanded the Spanish giants pay £178m for Eden Hazard, according to AS. Robert Lewandowski is also no longer a serious target for Real. 13:53
AFTERNOON HEADLINES
For those of you just joining us - firstly where have you been? - but here is a quick roundup of where we stand with some of the day's main transfer stories... 13:35
MITCHELL MAKES ST JOHNSTONE LOAN SWITCH
St Johnstone have announced the signing of 'keeper Conor Mitchell on a season-long loan from Burnley. The Northern Ireland U21 international trained with the Saints squad towards the end of last week before boss Tommy Wright moved to capture the 22-year-old to add to his goalkeeping options which include Zander Clark and Mark Hurst. 13:13
KLAASSEN NEARS BREMEN SWITCH
Everton midfielder Davy Klaassen’s move to Bundesliga side Werder Bremen is close to completion, according to Sky sources. The former Ajax captain failed to nail down a regular starting place at Goodison Park and is on the brink of making the move to Germany. Klaassen won’t be involved at Blackburn Rovers tonight. 12:56
TOP-FLIGHT TRANSFER TARGETS RATED
Sky Sports Fantasy Footballhas priced up potential Premier League transfer targets, rating Nabil Fekir and Gonzalo Higuain as the most valuable potential additions. With just two weeks until the revised transfer deadline date of August 9, business looks set to crank up as Premier League sides prepare for the new campaign. Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham have made moves early but while Manchester United reportedly have domestic targets in Toby Alderweireld and Harry Maguire, plenty of further additions are expected from abroad. Based on the most likely major deals according to Sky Bet's transfer odds, here are five big names expected to arrive and the Sky Sports Fantasy Football valuations you may just want to make a note of... 12:24
OLDHAM SIGN IVERSEN
Oldham have announced the signing of Leicester 'keeper Daniel Iversen on a season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old Dane, who will wear the number one shirt during the loan spell, has been on trial with the Latics and featured in pre-season friendlies against Nottingham Forest and Girona. Iversen joined Leicester from Esbjerg in January 2016, going into the club’s development squad. He has not made a first-team appearance for the Foxes. 12:00
UNITED MAKE MAGUIRE APPROACH
Man Utd have approached Leicester over the sale of their England centre-back Harry Maguire, SSN understands. However, with a fortnight of the summer transfer window remaining, it looks like Jose Mourinho will have a battle on his hands, with Leicester adamant their star defender is staying at the King Power Stadium. We understand United value the player, who starred in England's summer World Cup campaign, at around £65m. Maguire is due to return from holiday in the next few days and is understood to be keen to make the move to Old Trafford. 11:53
Juventus will sell Manchester City transfer target Miralem Pjanic this summer, but only if they receive the same amount they paid to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. The Bianconeri view the Bosnian as good as Ronaldo and want at least £89m for him (Calciomercato).
OK for those of you just joining us - firstly where have you been? - but here is a quick roundup of where we stand with some of the day's main transfer stories... 10:41
DOUGALL TO HAVE BARNSLEY MEDICAL
Sparta Rotterdam defender Kenneth Dougall will undergo a medical at Barnsley on Thursday ahead of proposed move to Oakwell, according to Sky sources. 10:33
WATFORD STAND BY EVERTON COMPLAINT
Watford are standing by a complaint against Everton over an allegation of an illegal approach to former manager Marco Silva. The clubs entered a mediation process at the request of the Premier League that involved club officials and their respective legal teams, but no conclusion was reached. The sale of Richarlison to Everton had prompted reports a resolution had been found between the two clubs, but Watford say they have been "compelled" to reiterate the disciplinary process is still ongoing. 10:19
MILAN TOLD TO PAY £62M FOR MORATA
Chelsea have told Milan they will have to pay up to £62m for Alvaro Morata after initial negotiations got underway on Wednesday. Sky Italy believe Milan’s new sporting director, Leonardo, had a series of phone conversations yesterday about a potential transfer, with the player reportedly keen on a return to Italy. However, the two clubs remain poles apart on their valuations of the player, prompting Milan to retain their interest in bringing Gonzalo Higuain or Radamel Falcao to San Siro. The 25-year old striker joined Chelsea last summer from Real Madrid for an initial £57m, with the job of replacing Diego Costa. 10:05
Simon Moore has signed a new contract at Sheffield United, ending speculation of a move to West Brom. The Baggies held discussions with the Blades over signing the 28-year old 'keeper as back-up to Sam Johnstone. Moore has signed a new three year-deal, keeping him at Bramall Lane until the summer of 2021. The player joined United from Cardiff for an undisclosed fee in August 2016 and has made a total of 64 appearances for United. https://twitter.com/SUFC_tweets/status/1022417464712486912 09:54
CHELSEA MONITOR MILINKOVIC-SAVIC
Chelsea are keeping tabs on Lazio midfielder Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, says the Independent. However, the Blues face competition from Man Utd and Real Madrid, although the Serbian would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge. 09:32
NEWCASTLE AND FULHAM IN MITROVIC STALEMATE
Newcastle and Fulham remain apart over their valuation of Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serb striker is back training on Tyneside after returning from an expended holiday following the World Cup. 09:11
MAN UTD PONDER £60M MAGUIRE MOVE
Jose Mourinho is urging Man Utd's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward to tie up a deal for Harry Maguire, according to reports in the Sun. However, Leicester may demand £60m for the England international defender. 09:07
SCHAR UNDERGOES NEWCASTLE MEDICAL
Newcastle are closing in on Deportivo La Coruna defender Fabian Schar after activating a £3m release clause in his contract, according to Sky sources. The Swiss international is due on Tyneside on Wednesday and will undergo a medical with the club. Newcastle are looking to replace Chancel Mbemba, who they sold to Porto for £7m earlier this month. The Magpies have been tracking Schar, who won three Swiss titles with Basel, for some time.

SILVA HINTS AT NEW CHALLENGE
David Silva admits his latest contract at Man City will probably be his last at the club but says he wouldn't join a Premier League rival. Silva signed a one-year contract extension at City last season to keep him at the club until 2020. "When I finish my contract with Manchester City I will be 34 years old, at that time I will probably want to do something different," he said. "I don't know yet but I won't play for another club in England. "People always love me in England, it's been eight years - very successful years, and the football we've played has been very attractive. English people love that type of football - those type of games. And that's why I'm so happy here." 08:36
CSKA Moscow midfielder Aleksandr Golovin has agreed to join Monaco, despite being heavily linked with Chelsea this summer. The 22-year-old, who starred for Russia at the World Cup, is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Ligue 1 club and Sky Sports Newsunderstands the move could be completed in the next few days. 08:21
POCH: MANY SPURS RUMOURS
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has admitted there are currently "many rumours around the team" as the club continue to be linked with possible moves for Palace forward Wilfried Zaha and Villa midfielder Jack Grealish. "There are many rumours around the team," Pochettino said after Spurs beat Roma 4-1 International Champions Cup in San Diego on Wednesday. "I cannot talk and I don't want to talk because I think we need to be focused on trying to work hard and get in the best form for the first game of the season." 08:05
ERIKSSON NEARS IRAQ ROLE
Sven Goran Eriksson has agreed a deal in principle to take over as head coach of Iraq, according to Sky sources. The Swede held positive talks with Iraqi FA officials in Istanbul last week. Eriksson’s representative Saif Rubie says he has a couple of other options and will make his final decision in the next week. 08:03
MOURINHO: DARMIAN CAN LEAVE
Jose Mourinho has confirmed Matteo Darmian can leave Man Utd if a suitable bid comes in for him this summer. Full-back Darmian has been linked with a return to Italy with either Inter Milan, Juventus or Napoli. "Matteo wants to leave and I think when a player wants to leave, if the right offer arrives you have to try to be human and let the player follow his instinct but not at any price," he said after watching his side beat Milan on penalties on Wednesday night. "And, until now, the offers we got for Matteo are not even close to being accepted." 08:00
PALACE MAKE £8.9M GONALONS OFFER
Crystal Palace have made an £8.9m offer for Roma midfielder Maxime Gonalons, according to Sky Italy. The 29-year-old is a defensive midfielder who has eight caps for France. Palace need midfield reinforcements following the departure of Yohan Cabaye. 07:52
MOURINHO: LIVERPOOL HAVE TO WIN
Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho says Liverpool have to win something next season after their heavy summer of spending. "Maybe this season finally you demand that they win," he said after watching his side beat Milan on penalties on Wednesday night. "You, I think, you have to be fair and now you have to demand and say the team with investments, who are making investments that they started making last season, not just this season, last season. "That you made in January, that you make now, that will probably be the record of the Premier League this season, I don't see another team getting close to that level of investment, a team that was a finalist in the Champions League, you have to say you are a big candidate. "You have to win." 07:46
WATFORD JOIN REYES RACE
Watford are interested in Mexico international defender Diego Reyes, according to Sky sources. However, no formal offer has been made for the player so far. Reyes is a free agent after he ran down his contract at Porto. Newcastle and West Ham are two of a number of Premier League clubs who have also made an offer for the centre back. 07:42
POCH WON'T DISCUSS LLORENTE FUTURE
Mauricio Pochettino refused to discuss the future of Fernando Llorente after the Spanish striker scored twice in Spurs' 4-1 International Champions Cup win over Roma in San Diego. Llorente is widely understood to be up for sale this summer after failing to make a big enough impression following his move from Swansea at the start of last season. "I'm not going to talk about individual situations because if I'm going to talk now about someone I need to talk about everyone," he said. "I am focusing on trying to work hard, trying to provide the team and every single player with the best tools to improve. Of course I'm happy when the striker scores and finds the net." 07:31
MOURINHO: NO PROBLEMS WITH MARTIAL
Man Utd boss Jose Mourinho says he has no problems with Anthony Martial leaving the club's pre-season tour to attend the birth of his first child. Some reports in the press today had claimed Mourinho wanted the Frenchman out of the club due to his decision to leave the US. "I found out that Martial was going to Paris when he told me," Mourinho said after watching his side beat Milan on penalties on Wednesday night. "Was two or three days ago. "When it is personal reasons, everyone analyses that the way they think is the correct way and when a man is going to be a father in this case, it's the second time he is going to be a father, and he decides is very important for him to go, nobody has the right to stop him to go." 07:25
UNITED TARGET REBIC
Manchester United have made contact with the representatives of Ante Rebic, reports the Mail. The Eintracht Frankfurt winger starred for Croatia at the recent World Cup in Russia, where his country were runners-up to France. 07:08
CHELSEA SIGN GREEN
Chelsea have completed the signing of 38-year old former England goalkeeper Rob Green on a one-year deal. Green, who was released by Huddersfield at the end of last season, is likely to be third-choice keeper behind Thibaut Courtois and Willy Caballero at Stamford Bridge. 06:48
SHAQIRI: CRITICS WRONG ABOUT ME
New Liverpool signing Xherdan Shaqiri believes his critics are "totally wrong" about him. 06:34

The French midfielder's agent blasts Leicester for a "lack of respect" concerning his move to France, with a host of clubs willing to take him on loan, but Leicester holding out for a sale
What a ridiculously drawn out piece of business. On the bright side, a couple days ago Pep said it was to be completed soon, and now today Vice-Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha has said the deal is coming soon
Speaking of drawn out business, Mahrez is still in Leicester blue, but Roma are ready to launch a £30 million bid plus add ons for the winger, I'm hoping that these add ons are significant because 30 seems a little short for me
Leicester again show interest in Sporting Lisbon midfielder and Jornal de Noticias claim that Leicester are set to bid €22 million to try to gain his services. Link
George Thomas
After a £300,000 bid was rejected by Coventry, Leicester are preparing a £500,000 bid for the striker
Roma have stepped up their bid to about £30 million, but Leicester won't budge for less than 50 million. Also, Liverpool have reportedly been keeping tabs on the winger (I don't believe this one so much)
French reports are saying that Leicester have signed the young PSG striker, but there is nothing to back it up on the club website. My best guess is this is set to happen, possibly in the next couple days
The Nigerian is set to undergo his medical today, but the Mercury understands that there are still some legal issues to be dealt with before the transfer can go through
Antonio Conte has admitted to being a big fan of Drinky, and Chelsea are serious about signing him, and they have apparently tried to sign him last season as well
After impressing for the England u18s, Leicester are set to beat United and Arsenal among other teams to sign him, expecting to make an offer in the range of £2 million
Hey guys, sorry I've been slacking on this recently. Life's been getting in they way a bit, as it does. I'm going to do today's rumours and once the window closes I'll make a transfer window review where we can discuss the ins and outs.

There are rumours of Chelsea and Everton preparing bids around £40 million for the striker, but the Mercury is confident that he is staying
City have launched a £21 million bid for the Northern Ireland international, but it has been rejected and West Brom are insisting on no less than £30 million for him.
Monaco are yet to make a move for the Algerian despite reports, but with Mbappe's departure, he could be bought as a replacement. He is also being targeted by Watford, Newcastle and Marseilles
I thought it might be interesting to keep tabs on Leicester's odds on signing people, so below I'm including a table to show the Skybet transfer specials that we are a part of. Last Update: 28/8/17
