The Premeir League is the Best League in the World and the Best League There Is. Other leagues simply don’t measure up.

LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Midweek, Festive Fixtures are back again. Tuesday and Thursday Premier League action is upon us and Matchweek 19 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW18 saw a decent return with a 2-1-1 ledger and a push on the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*.

Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Here is the deal for MW19:

COINCEDENTAL STADIUM of the WEEK

MW19 POSITIONS PL

*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 7-8-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)

2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 28-26-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).

  • Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 28-17-3
  • Parlays: 0-6 (?!?)
  • Proposition (SoT, ATG Team Props, etc.): 0-3

These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I hate it. I couldn’t even bring myself to list the percentages. Obviously, the time is now to go on a run.

My Plays for MW19

— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”

  • LIVLEE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-30)

📚: William Hill/Caesars

Basic match and form info for The BTTS Special via the CBS Sports App (times Pacific)

KEY METRICS

  • LIVLEE: 58 GA aggregate YTD

BTTS SUPERFACT

Facts matter

KEY OPINION

This is a play on the fact the data and mathematics say both parties will score and allow a goal in this match.

MY TAKE

The BTTS Special has seen mixed results thus far but I’m undeterred in the pursuit of delivering winners. Not sure what I’m supposed to say really re: my take on The BTTS Special: I think both parties can score a goal in its respective match.

We are going to hit these as the term progresses. I won’t be denied, except for all the parlays in the market. It got there in MW18.

— ⚽️: CHEBOU UNDER 3.5 GOALS (-48)

📚: FanDuel

Basic match and form info via the CBS Sports App (times Pacific)

KEY METRICS:

  • CHE: T4/20 in GA (19) & 5th in GA/90 (1.06).
  • BOU: One or fewer goals scored in four of last 5 league matches.

SUPERFACT

Chelsea and Bournemouth played to a nil-nil draw on 12/6/25.

KEY OPINION

  • I just think there is value in backing the under when BOU is in suspect offensive form and we get a total of 3.5 with the under priced below my -160 threshold. These also have already gone Under once. Why not twice?
This absolutely factored into my decision to back the Under.

— ⚽️: ARSAVL OVER 2.5 GOALS (-25)

📚: Price at multiple books on Monday at time of card finalization/placement. FanDuel now offers -40 while multiple shops offer -45.

KEY METRICS

  • ARS: 2/20 in Goals Scored (33).
  • AVL: 6/20 in Goals Scored (29).

SUPERFACT

The history of this fixture calls for about a 2-1 joust.

KEY OPINION

  • For me, I just can’t get past the fact AVL is getting by on this huge run yet the metrics don’t reinforce its supremacy. I think regression is due. Just feels like a 2-1, 3-1 Gunners win to me. I acknowledge both defenses are stout — this is obvious with Arsenal. I just don’t think this is a spot for no or low scoring.
It’s time for the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW18.

— ⚽️BB: CRYFUL UNDER 2.5 GOALS (-15)

📚: FanDuel

Eagles Football on X

KEY METRICS

  • CRY: 15/20 in Progressive Carries & 13/20 in Progressive Passes (is this a fatigue issue?).
  • FUL:14/20 in aggregate xG (19.9) & 15/20 in npxG/90 (1.06).

SUPERFACT

The BB SuperFact by Darkseid Sports. Seems like a 1-1 affair to me…

KEY OPINION

  • I see this as a spot where goals will be hard to come by citing Fulham’s overall potency issues and that Palace has trended down in its scoring/xG metrics for weeks now
Exhibit A as to what Alex Iwobi brings to Fulham. He is away on AFCON duty as of this writing. This is where his metrics were at departure.

MY TAKE

For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW19, it’s a play on Crystal Palace / Fulham Under 2.5 Goals (-15). All season, I haven’t been impressed with the Cottagers scoring ethos. I’m left with no choice to back the under here. One of its best players (Alex Iwobi) is at AFCON. It feels like asking for anything more than a goal from this side is a big one. Palace just hasn’t been the same. The Eagles seemingly use the same lineup throughout the competition. The scoring is down. The defense is down too. But citing the opponent, I think Palace can compete with defense here. For all that, CRYFUL Under 2.5 -(15) is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 19.

The Darkseid Sports First Cut is a renowned play in the American football markets which denotes my top play which didn’t make the final card. It was 6-5 (ATS) pursuant to The 7 Best. It is meant to provide thought-provocation in the realm of overthinking and making wrong final judgements on your cards.

FC Record YTD: 9-6

— ⚽️:COLE PALMER (CHE) ANYTIME GOALSCORER (+10)

I passed on this to focus on other positions. There was reservation due to the fact I lied other positions in this match market better. If he scores, great, as it would help one of my PL Futures positions (see below).

MANCHESTER UNITED MINUTES

The attack hasn’t been the problem.
Defending has been the issue.
It was an uneven 2025 for Manchester United.

BEYOND THE TABLE

You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It’s still superfluous at MW19. I’ll check it out at MW20. But a Table built on xG is something we can use for Sports Investment purposes in the now and Squawka has done solid, practical work in bringing us this PL Table built on xG.

FUTURISTICS REVISITED

In case you missed it (ICYMI), here is a look back on my three (3) PL Futures I released here and on my X page.
It’s tostadas at MW19. Cole Palmer would have to go on a run. Amad creates and has been fine for United but the AFCON absence is detrimental. Brentford has vastly exceeded any expectation anybody had. I had it wrong there, as of now.
