My trade of the evening is Gateshead v Altrincham fhg. Odds start low so will back after 10 mins and reback if goal hasn't come at around 20 minutes. Home with fhg in last 10 games and away with a goal fh last 20 games.

@Martin Lol I know, it's a bloody joke isnt it. Currently reading a book about the sports washing world and FIFA and UEFA, it's eye opening.

[Martin]

You know what I was thinking, just as the new season gets into stride, let's have an international break

[Ryan]

@Richard-Latimer all of them lol to be fair Mbuemo is a great player I think!

[Martin]

That Fulham goal being disallowed is a travesty!

[Craig Greenway]

Dandenong thunder v dandenong city Shg looks great. 18 minutes left and stats back another goal should come.

[Craig Greenway]

@Craig-Greenway different stats sites. Like looking at streaks.

[Martin]

@Craig-Greenway how do you find youth games? must admit I avoid them and women's football for the most part!

[Craig Greenway]

Like the look of Coventry u21 v Swansea u21 for a fhg. Home side with fhg in last 24 games and odds approaching evens.

@Richard-Latimer I’ve layed man utd in both their league games so far. Tempted to do the same against Burnley but do expect they will win that one.

Still really surprised that the so called pundits and the markets were being seduced into thinking Utd had drastically changed from last season. It’s the same manager after all. They may yet turn it around but was never enough evidence for them to be touted as the 5th/6th best team in the league

[Richard Latimer]

Can anyone even trust they'll be able to beat Burnley at home right now?!

WOW Man united

yeah, my FPL team is heavily weighted on Man U for some reason with Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko. Now wondering who, if any, to remove and who to replace with. It's a draft but only 4 teams so still a few decent players around!

[Ryan]

WOW Man united

[Martin]

@Craig-Greenway well done!

[Craig Greenway]

Doubt Riga v Sparta Prague finishes 0-0. Over 1 goal line is just under 1.5 which looks good price to me.

[Craig Greenway]

Evening guys. Trading a couple of games tonight. Currently on Emden v shonningen fhg. Small stake on now then will reback if reaches minimum 1.5.

1st game I'm on today is Spennymoor v Macclesfield to have a fhg. Odds just under 1.4 at moment. Will jump on if this reaches 1.5. Decent stats to this.

Good start to the day with some of my trades.
Started researching more a day ensuring I'm only backing trades that have good stats behind them. Osasuna v Valencia just kicked off. Good stats for fhg and started at 1.52 odds. Great value.

This is the key isn't it, once your shortlist is populated dig deep to see if there are any red flags
