As always, Good Luck and Play Responsibly.

The Premier League is The Best League in the World. The Best League There Is. (Note: these slogans are common phrasing used by Darkseid Sports)

CREATOR’S NOTE: Right then. Hello. All the best and good day. I’m back for another PL Do Si Do and it starts here with a three-pack of Futures for the portfolio. All are +EV and I’d argue worth the investment of tying up your money and headspace from August to May as England’s Premier League season is a lengthy, arduous joust. One thing I didn’t want to do was give you too chalky of Future positions having said your money is tied up for so long. Now then…

Three Futures from three different PL markets.

Brentford FC To Be Relagted (3/1)

📚: Draftkings, William Hill/Caesars

Odds via Draftkings Sportsbook

MY TAKE: I’m not seeing the dream with Brentford in 2025-26. Manager Thomas Frank bolted for Spurs. Bryan Mbeumo signed for Manchester United. Christian Norgaard (Arsenal) departed. It sounds like The Bees want to sell Yoane Wissa. What is left? I’m not sure and having a rookie manager (Keith Andrews) is suboptimal. Put another way, what has Brentford done this window to make you believe it will stay up? You tell me. This just feels like a -EV situation. I’m of the opinion one of the newly promoted sides will stay up and the odd (holdover) team out at season’s end will be The Bees. Full fade.

BETTOR’S NOTE: This should be a season-long, pendulum-style investment as usually the relegation market is left up for the totality of the season. There may (should) be times during the season where you can’t get better than current market pricing. Remember, 38 rounds is a long season.

COLE PALMER PFA POY (+750)

📚: Draftkings

Odds via Draftkings Sportsbook

MY TAKE: I think Chelsea will have a big season. Top four. Possibly a major trophy of some sort. Palmer is its signature player. At a price, the juice is worth the squeeze. His availability ledger is commensurate to the award: 37 MP/ 36 Starts last go. I think he can build off the 15/8, 23 Goal Involvements from last term. He is surely marketed and covered as a player who would win an award like this. Why not? His case is as strong or stronger than most others. It’s a play on Cole Palmer to be the PFA POY for me.

It should be a big year for Cole Palmer.

Amad Diallo To Score 10+ League Goals (8/1)

📚: Draftkings

Some AI data on Amad via Gemini

MY TAKE: Superfluous to my United fandom, I firmly believe Amad is an ascending player in the club and league. He had 8 PL goals last term in 26 appearances (20 starts). Even with the scoring potency the club added with Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha and the retention of captain and club legend (yeah I said it) Bruno Fernandes , I still think there will be enough “balls to go around” and Amad can go over a manageable number here. The fact you get paid on 10 solidifies and entrenches the position, in my opinion.

I like the little fella. Energy, influence and talent…exactly what MUFC needs and what the club should strive to be under Ruben Amorim.

NOT TO MENTION (Opinion)

If you’re reading this and you are a tourist to Las Vegas and/or a local and you’re looking for a proper experience to watch Premier League football, the Sportsbook and Stadium Swim at Circa in downtown Las Vegas is the undisputed Best in Class and receives my coveted Full Endorsement. Grab a snack at Victory Burger. Tell them Darkseid sent you. They shouldn’t call Security. LOL.

It gets my official endorsement as a place to watch the things you wager on. See, I’m nice.
