The opening game is going to be West Ham - Chelsea. When it comes to the odds:

- West Ham: 4.80
- Draw: 4.00
- Chelsea: 1.71

Chelsea had a bad start. Such a boring effort against Crystal Palace...  Sad  But I hope to see better performances tomorrow. West Ham are a mess. We saw them against Sunderland. Chelsea shouldn't have big problems.

The EPL website displays the results of the vote for the best player in the first week. The result is that Richarlison is the best player with 27%. Perhaps this vote is not entirely accurate because it is possible that the votes were not evenly distributed and were not objective. But what do you think? Of all the players, they were indeed key players in the first match with the team.

People must be out of their mind to give such low number of votes for Haaland there.  Grin  He started the season with 2 goals man. Or are people just doing that because of getting used to his performances?

I agree about Richarlison though. Especially one of his goals was incredible. He was horrible last season. I hope he makes a real improvement this time. For now I have doubts about his consistency...
Looking at the performance for last weekend game, I personally think that Semenyo is really underrated here to be given mere 9% considering the performance he put through, scoring twice in the process. Need I still remind you the team he played against. Playing the defending champions Liverpool and not just that, Liverpool is one of the most sophisticated teams in the league. I think Semenyo needs to be up there.
