Allan Saint-Maximin

May 9, 2021 at 4:41 pm

Having enjoyed a solid debut year in the English game, there was naturally a lot of excitement around Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin. Having been heavily linked with clubs back in France before coming to England, he was seen as a high-risk wide player who could offer the Magpies something different – if he could maintain his attitude.

After a mostly exemplary first season, then, hope is high on Tyneside that ASM can go to the next level. And with a year experiencing the aggressive nature of English football, he’s likely to thrive even more.

What makes him so special?

Watch him for five minutes and it soon becomes apparent why ASM is such a highly exciting talent; he can move. His dribbling is some of the most effective in the league, with his ability to pierce teams on the break making him a vital weapon for Newcastle.

He’s also great at wining fouls, which given the Toon are a solid set-piece team can only be a good thing for the player. He’s also a great distance shooter, giving him the opportunity to really crack them from distance and cause keepers problems.

Unlike most wide players today, too, his passing is excellent and he can lay teammates in as well as he can take the ball on himself. However, one thing to note is that he has a habit of holding on to the ball for a needless period of time. This can cause issues, though his natural strength means that he can hold off opponents and hold the ball up briefly.

It would be hard to say what his one stand-out attribute is outside of his pace, but he’s a very accomplished young player. With another year of development to come in England, he could really take the next step in 2020-21.

Reece James

Speak to Chelsea fans about their full-back options, and one tends to garner far more excitement than the others: home-grown Reece James. An absolutely fantastic crosser of the ball, James is a technically proficient, hard-working attacking full-back who has the opportunity to really make an impact at Stamford Bridge.

He made an impressive 37 appearances last year, starting 26 of those games, and was involved in four goals – a pair of goals and a pair of assists. Expect those numbers to increase if Frank Lampard retains faith in the 20-year-old and gives him more consistent gametime.

What makes him so special?

A fantastic marauding full-back who can also defend, it’s fair to say that James is quite a complete little package. His passing and crossing are the quality you would expect of a deep-lying midfielder and a winger, respectively, and his set-pieces are absolutely outstanding. He’s a consistent player who can keep forcing chances due to his ability to take set-pieces and can work chances from open play.

Add in his solid long-distance shooting and his ability to graft back and forward, and he is a really modern full-back. He’s also good at winning fouls, forcing wingers and wide attackers to foul him and draw the result. Despite being a fine crosser, though, it’s the crispness and depth of his passing that has so many fans impressed.

What we think makes James so special, though, is his ability to never give up. He’s a hard worker; a player who really forces himself forward and puts in a great collection of deliveries. Variety, consistency, and maturity; these are the kind of attributes that make James a deeply interesting prospect.

If he can simply keep continuing to get games, 2020-21 could be his true breakout year as a first-team starter.

How to Win Betting Premier League Accas

August 20, 2020 at 1:56 am

When it comes to betting football accumulators, the English Premier League is the most popular competition in the world for multiple bets. There are twenty teams in the division and that means each round of games comprises ten fixtures, meaning a huge number of accumulator betting opportunities.

Premier League acca tips will help to give you the best possible chance of making money when it comes to placing multiple bets on this division. For starters, there are a number of available betting markets which are suitable for football accumulator bets and you should ideally choose a two-way or three-way market as the best possible route to profit.

Many betting customers will choose the Full-Time Result betting market which is also known as 1×2. That involves picking the home win, draw or away win for each game, although it’s not always the best market to choose and the presence of the draw possibility makes things more complicated.

The Best Markets for Premier League Accas

There is nothing to stop you from having a Premier League acca on the correct score market, although the chances of you correctly predicting the scoreline of several EPL matches is a remote one.

However, Premier League acca tips might instead focus on the Both Teams to Score market which is also known as BTTS and this is a simple case of forecasting whether both sides will find the net during the ninety minutes or the possibility that at least one team will fail to score instead.

Many punters like a BTTS Yes Premier League acca where they can cheer on both teams for each football match that comprises an accumulator, with fans hoping for goals galore in order to win their bet. There is the option to go for the “No” option for certain games and hope that the scoreline stays low.

Some customers like a Premier League Over / Under 2.5 Goals acca where you can either choose Over 2.5 Goals or Under 2.5 Goals with each option. Once again, this is a two-way betting market and it’s very straightforward. The advantage is that it doesn’t matter which team score the goals providing that you reach the required total.

Most bookies now allow you to Cash Out Premier League accas and this is an excellent opportunity to make money without waiting for the matches to finish. Sometimes customers are in a profitable position and decide to quite while they’re ahead.
