Two more picks for League One Top Goalscorer.
A Best Bet & Longshot. Both at Bradford.
🐔 Best Bet: Jake Beesley @ 34.0
Beesley has been threatening to have a breakthrough season for a while.
He originally jumped from League Two to the Championship based on that promise, moving from Rochdale to Blackpool.
Now in his peak, he should be ready to seriously challenge for the golden boot.
13 league goals for 17th-placed Burton has earned him a summer move to Bradford, who finished 4th and will be eyeing another promotion tilt.
Beesley should be on penalties for the Bantams this season; he scored 3/3 for Burton in 25/26.
Beesley had 2.30 shots per 90 for a relegation-battling side last term, scoring 12.9% of them; Bradford's leader in shots per 90 was Stephen Humphrys at 3.50.
As the Bantams' chief threat, Beesley should have 20 goals as a realistic target, especially if he sustains that conversion rate, which'd put him at the top end of the scoring charts at a big price.
🐔 Longshot: Adam Phillips @ 126.0
Adam Phillips was one of the first prices I looked for in this market; he’s such a natural goalscorer and swapping Barnsley for Bradford should only increase the chances he has to find the net.
He’s 125/1 because he’s an attacking midfielder, but that’s not to say he won’t be one of Bradford’s biggest attacking threats.
His last four seasons in League One have seen him score nine, 11, nine and then nine goals again. Is there a season where he explodes beyond those numbers? At 125/1, I’m more than happy to say there is.
He could end up on penalties; he’s a threat from range and times his arrival into the box really well.
With Leicester and Sheffield Wednesday’s off-pitch turbulence, the League One promotion race could really open up, and Bradford are well positioned to take advantage having invested shrewdly this summer.
This is a good E/W bet to cheer on over the course of the season with a smaller stake.
18+, gamble responsibly.
@OwlPricey I don’t think he’s being a cock, he’s got mates who are Wednesdayites and will be giving him some stick - he’s just saying it’d be nice to to give some back if they win.

Understand that Sunderland and Wednesday were keen to give the minimum amount of tickets to away fans so that they can fill out the rest of the stadium with their own supporters.
Both have allocated around 2,000. https://t.co/jouAVua0uz #SWFC#SAFC 🦉⚽️
