drc Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 I guess this is a lot to ask but if someone is up to it and can get their opinions I would appreciate it. i want to get a better knowledege especially in the weaker teams both for knowledge and betting purpose so I can do proper analyses when betting and help from you would speed it up. It's also quite fun cause everyone have different views. If you think this is an unbelivable idiotic and selfish thread then just delete it. Otherwise help me to fill in the blanks even if you just have an opinion of a certain team. I try to think about the three of our most important players for leicester this season, but I struggle cause we have a good unit a great squad but no fenomenal star really yet, if not fernandes just gonna boss this division for fun. I guess our newbies must shine, Kasper, Mills, Fernandes, Danns, Nugent etc as well as our best players from last season must step up too. here are the teams anyhow: Barnsley Birmingham Blackpool Brighton Bristol Burnley Cardiff City Coventry City Crystal Palace Derby County Doncaster Rovers Hull City Ipswich Town Leeds United Leicester City Middlesbrough Millwall Squad Nottingham Forest Peterborough United Portsmouth Reading Squad Southampton Watford West Ham United
Kilworthfox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 knowledge and betting purpose Firstly, it's an interesting question, however you can't just ask with the word "important" because its not spiecific enough. Also don't bet on the Championship it's far too competitive & unpredictable Knowledge & opinions on football are formed through your experience, I would not put my money on bets through what other people thought because it's not really your bet in the end isit?
ChippingFox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Don't bet on anything capable of independent thought... Hang on, these are footballers, bet away!
drc Posted 3 August 2011 Author Posted 3 August 2011 Firstly as I'm non english and can't see that much championship football I just want better knowledge. Also in Sweden we have every week something called "stryktipset" where you have to try to pick 13 correct matches with maybe 6 from PL and 7 from championship (you can do quite expensive systems). You can win as much as 2 million pound if you are alone. Anyway with better knowledge it's easier especially with the weaker teams to pin out how important one or a couple of injuries is if you actually have knowledge. I bet quite a lot and know how unpredictable this league is because of the tough schedule, however I think it's better with more knowledge than less. Still even if I weren't betting on a single game next season, I think championship is becoming a great leauge and when you live in another country it's harder to see games and get as much information (if you're not digging deep yourself on internet) from championship compared to Premier Leauge. I want to extend my knowledge of other teams than Leicester in this leauge, and was trying to get a jump-start here as I thought maybe some people actually would think it was fun to estimating players in other teams. With important I more or less mean which players would be hardest to loose if they have an injury etc. Most of the time most important is = best players, but sometimes a less skilled players can be more important for the team when he has other qualites as work-rate or influental on other players.

I'm planning to do some extensive reading/studies on all teams but as I said, you guys most certainly know more players by heart living in england. And again this isn't just for betting purposes, I think it is more fun to follow other games than Leicester the more I know about the teams. But then again if I'm in that mood I can do some tough betting. The advantage to bet on championship compared to Premier League is that the Premier Leauge odds are almost always spot on, some betting firms are not equal accuarate on leagues under the op flight. You can sometimes get some advantage if players are injured and as the squads normally are much more vulnerable in the championship compared to Premier Leauge, injury blows and tough schedule will come into counting more than in the PL.
drc Posted 3 August 2011 Author Posted 3 August 2011 For a non-English bloke you have excellent English! Well thank you, but I know I do a lot of silly mistakes. Anyway it's easier to be active on a foreign forum when you don't get abused about bad grammar and stuff all the time.
Bryn Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 All Swedish people have amazing English, even their burger monkeys in McDonalds can recite ****ing Shakespeare, it's mental.

Basically those reports is what I was after so I will read them thoroughly. It would have been nice with some various opinions as well but those report looked splendid when I had a quick look at some of them.

Gladly share opinions with you, just need to see the season kick off first, and the transfer window close before I can decide.
kingfox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Thanks for directing to my thread much appreciated. Just so this thread actually gets comments about 3 most important players. I will give you two, I identified them in the actual previews which I did. Apart from being key players for their side I would have them down as two of the main players to keep an eye for in 2011/2012. Albert Adomah of Bristol City and Matt Phillips of Blackpool, two very good dangerous wingers. Also I haven't typed up Millwall yet but look out for striker John Marquis

I didn't mean to choose the 3 most important players from the whole championship but 3 most important players in every team. 3 was just a number though and your reports will do great for me to read up on all our opponents. cheers
John Matrix Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 if you want to do an accumulator the championship is not the way to go really. especially at the start of the season. it's best to let teams settle in and see who has a very good home/away record and vice versa
drc Posted 3 August 2011 Author Posted 3 August 2011 this is what the stryktipset looks like: stryktipset Every week you try to do a new system to get 13 correct wins out of 13. You can get paid for 10/13 as well. But a lot of the money in the pool are dead money from small systems. Normally when I bet, I bet big on one game rather than bet on accumulators.

Competitive and great odds.

kingfox Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Millwall: Darius Henderson, David Forde, Jordan Stewart No James Henry or Paul Robinson
accessory Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Fair point about James Henry, Millwall will do well to hang on to him. Paul Robinson, though...meh.
B52 Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 Leicester City: Matt Mills, David Nugent, Andy King I would think that Gally, one of the full backs and Nugent... Not King and Mills....
iBleedLeicesterColours Posted 3 August 2011 Posted 3 August 2011 David McGoldrick for Forest Should be Lee Camp, Luke Chambers & Lewis McGugan. Same as previous poster r.e Millwall. Leicester - Mills Wellens Gally
accessory Posted 4 August 2011 Posted 4 August 2011 David McGoldrick for Forest Should be Lee Camp, Luke Chambers & Lewis McGugan. Same as previous poster r.e Millwall. Leicester - Mills Wellens Gally Gallagher and Wellens are just average Championship players. Look how exposed they were in the Real Madrid game. I don't see them as key players for us this season. Deal with that.
accessory Posted 4 August 2011 Posted 4 August 2011 Leicester City: Matt Mills, David Nugent, Andy King I would think that Gally, one of the full backs and Nugent... Not King and Mills.... Sven paid £4m for a reason - Mills will give the defence strength, presence and leadership it's lacked for some time.
