After four weeks, an early pattern for the new EPL season is already emerging. So far, these are the five best betting tips to bank on.   

A total of 151 goals have been scored in 50 games across the opening four weeks of the new Premier League season, which is an average of 3.02 goals per game.  So far, Brighton leads the way with 15 goals scored in five games, one more than City who have scored 14 goals already. Both leading teams average at least 3 goals per game, making the “over 2.5 goals” market good value for money.   Take advantage of the best odds on BetKing by backing the goals market for Brighton and Manchester City this weekend. 

● Bet on over 2.5 goals in the Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest game 

● Bet on over 2.5 goals in the Brighton vs Bournemouth game 

37 of the 50 games have seen a goal scored in the first half, with teams playing more open and attacking football across the English Premier League.   Enjoy high odds by backing the ‘first half goals’ market this weekend. 

● Bet on over 0/5 first half goals in the Burnley vs Manchester United game 

There have been 19 away wins so far, with Manchester City, Arsenal, Brighton, Fulham, Crystal Palace, Liverpool, Tottenham and Brentford all winning away from home.  Our bet of the day is Newcastle United away win against Sheffield United.

Adjusted Premier League rules to tackle time wasting and dissent have also seen an increase in the number of bookings and sending offs. After just four gameweeks, 234 yellow cards have been issued, along with 11 red cards. This can only be an advantage if you want to bet on card/fouls/bookings over markets.   

So far, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are the only unbeaten teams in the League. You can bet on that to continue this weekend by betting on wins for each club, as well as win/draw double chance(s) 

   

**Fantasy Premier League tips - six ‘must have’ players for Game week 6** 

The Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues to add an extra layer of engagement and excitement to the Premier League season, as managers compete to make the best strategic decisions and select the best performing players every weekend.    

With four weeks of the season gone, we look at the best six players to have in your team, based on their performances so far.   


**Defenders**     

 **Manuel Akanji (£5.0m)** - The Manchester City defender has been excellent at the heart of defence for the defending champions in his three appearances this season. He has earned 17 points so far, and at just 5.0m, is a cheap, reliable source of points moving forward.   

 **Pervis Estupiñán (£5.3m)** - Brighton’s ultra-attacking full-back is a must-have for any FPL manager. The Seagulls have scored 15 goals this season and Estupinan has been involved in 3 of those, scoring one and assisting two. His points tally after five games (he missed one EPL game) stands at 21 and his price is just 5.3m for now, which is a steal, considering how much he contributes to Brighton’s attacking play, all while being a very good defender.   
   

**Midfielders**   

 **Solly March (£6.5m)** - Brighton continues to soar and after three dominant wins from their first four games, several Seagulls’ players deserve a shout. However, left-footed wing wizard Solly March should be a no-brainer. The Brighton winger has amassed 29 points in his four games so far and is an absolute bargain at just £6.5m.   

Betking offers the best odds on the market and backing Solly March to find the net against Man United this weekend could be an excellent choice. 

● Bet on Solly March to score against Man United  

**James Maddison (£7.9m)** -  Maddison has started the season in excellent form for Tottenham. 14 key passes, 16 shots and eleven shots on target are all team-leading totals for Spurs and he is central to everything they do. He has 30 points so far and will surely add more, maybe not against Arsenal, but surely more in the coming weeks.  

**Attackers**   

**Erling Haaland (£14.1m)** - As usual, Manchester City’s Haaland remains the most potent attacking option as far as the FPL is concerned. He ranks first for goals scored, expected goals (xG), goals + assists, total shots per game (5.8), total shots on target per game (3.2), and big chances missed (8). 

He's comfortably the clear leader to place all your chips on and should be the mainstay of your FPL team for the foreseeable future unless he’s injured. 

● Bet on Erling Haaland to score at anytime against Nottingham Forest 

● Bet on Erling Haaland to score against West Ham 

**Yoane Wissa (£6.1m)** - The Brentford striker has stepped up in Ivan Toney’s absence along with Bryan Mbuemo and will be an excellent addition to your FPL team. Wissa’s goal, assist and 11 points against Fulham caught the attention of many managers. With Newcastle currently having a poor run, he’s a good pick for the next round of FPL fixtures at just £6.1m and has a good chance to add to the 15 points he has already asmassed this season.
