Anyway, we're back, we'll be bringing you our regular articles and best bets over the course of the coming season and we'll be interacting with you on Twitter and asking for your top tips each week to find out what you're backing, keep your eyes peeled for more information on this.
With the big kick off just around the corner we've been seeking some long term value bets at big prices that warrant an investment that only sees any potential return only coming back to you in 9 months time - first up we've a couple of top scorer bets from League Two.
Gillingham's Adam Birchall looks a decent bet for top scorer as thus far into pre season the 2011/12 League Two top scorers (79) have managed to keep hold of Danny Jackman who provided nine assists last term & his form will be key to Birchall's chances of bagging the required 20+ goals. Manager, Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen is keen to partner Birchall and Danny Kedwell together & Kedwell should continue to work himself into the ground week after week, he is seen by many, us included, as the foil to Birchall.
With Birchall having missed last season through an injury suffered in a pre season friendly the ex-Dover man must be chomping at the bit to lead the line for the Gills (ironically enough he scored against his former club in a recent friendly). Having bagged 64 goals in 78 games for Dover, Birchall attracted interest from the likes of now League One outfit Swindon Town before moving to Gillingham. The fancied sides in the division each have a number of striking options which we think might dilute their strikers' chances whereas Birchall should be the Gills' focal point, he provides a good value bet at 40/1+ to be top League Two scorer.

(Bradford's young Bermudan striker Nahki Wells should form a potent partnership with Alan Connell)
Another option in the top scorer market is Bradford's 22 year old striker Nahki Wells, again priced at 40/1 with BetVictor. Nahki signed for the Bantams last summer as 'one for the future' however injuries to Bradford's forward line meant the youngster was given a chance of first team football & he rewarded that trust as he bagged 10 league goals from 18 starts, & showed he's not a one trick pony by scoring a variety of goals. Interest in the summer was high and Bradford offered him an improved contract to keep suitors at bay. Also this summer Bradford have added much needed midfielders to their ranks: the likes of Gary Jones, Will Atkinson, Garry Thompson and 9th summer signing Nathan Doyle have all signed for Phil Parkinson's side. Wells has bagged 4 goals in 5 pre season and looks likely to feature far more in the first team alongside another new signing Alan Connell (from Swindon).
The pressure is on Bradford once again this season, they are seen by many as playoff contenders and to achieve a lofty position Wells and Connell need to weigh in with plenty of goals. The only worry with Wells is if he starts off well enough there could be interest from teams in League One or above during the January transfer window, of course he could even get signed up by another League Two club which would keep the bet going - the risk is worth taking though & explains his inflated odds of 40/1.
Selections:
Adam Birchall to be top League Two goalscorer at 40/1 (BetVictor)
Nahki Wells to be top League Two goalscorer at 40/1 (BetVictor)
