Top 5 must-have apps for the 2014/15 football season

It was a fantastic FIFA World Cup Brazil, but it’s time to get back to domestic football now, and no fans want to head into the new season with anything less than up-to-date info and an enhanced digital fan experience. Mobile apps that run on smartphones and tablets are the best way of ensuring you get bragging rights over fans of rival clubs, and these are five available at Google Play that will have them cowering before your stat attack. The Sports Techie community blog is excited present these sports technology apps for your fantasy soccer competitive edge.

Top 5 Soccer Apps

1. Sky Sports Fantasy Football 2014/15
This is an app that lets you pick your own fantasy team of Premiership players and compete against rival fans for prizes. The English Premier League (#EPL) otherwise known as the Barclay’ s Premier League (#BPL) because of their title sponsorship, is the top Professional football league in England.

It suits EPL football fans because fantasy football is extremely popular worldwide, and this BPL app lets you play against pundits and presenters from Sky, as well as your Internet mates. The Sky Sports FF app lets you virtually pick a team from the players in the league this season, follow their performance, and try to claim the £100,000 prize for the league-winning side. How do you like ‘dem apples, Sports Techie!

2. Sports Bet Predictor
This must-have application can be used for getting all of the vital stats about injuries, form, past results and expert tips needed to make winning football bets. Soccer fans have access to all of this info, as well as the actual betting, at the touch of a button. By downloading this dynamic sports tech app, you will instant access to all the information you need, useful tips and predictions and a range of different types of bet to place. Real-time info is vital to fantasy sports success and this app has it and more data.

3. Live football on TV
Engaging with a second screen is not only fun, it is also a must for sports bettors which is why this novel app is useful because it displays television listing detailing when and where the upcoming live television matches can be found. Watching the ebb and flow or a game, a managers substitution patterns and the different formations used in the first half and second half, or over the last third of the field, are all factors to help bet the odds by watching live EPL on TV.

Global and UK football fans have so many game options on television, resulting in the need for an accurate guide covering domestic European leagues, Champions and Europa Leagues. This easy to use app lets you know what channels the games are on and provides notifications and alerts so you don’t miss one.

4. Football Statistics
Stat crunching has become standard when placing sports bets and this comprehensive stats app, covering over 155 leagues in serious depth, Football Statistics has your bookie back. Soccer big data is so comprehensive you need an app that will ensure you can find playing schedules, matchday form comparisons, line-ups, goalscorers, subs and tables, for football debates. This robust environment gives you all the stats you could possibly need to win a football argument or make a football bet. I personally would not place a bet unless I had real-time stats available at the click of a button like Football Statistics offers.

5. Sky Sports Live Football SC
It’s hard to argue with the brilliance of any of these apps, but another must-have is this mobile friendly app designed to be the equivalent to Soccer Saturday and the Score Centre section of Sky Sports website. Fans will want this free app because it keeps them in the loop about their team, and those around them in the table, from any location. It comes loaded with live scores, results and league tables throughout the course of the day so you don’t have to use other content sources to get the gambling data you want before you place wagers.

Sports Techie, These five show that there is a football app for whatever sport you need these days, making them the best way to know everything from top European goalscorers to your fantasy football points tally. New player signings, last second injuries and even weather predictions can make or break your sports bet. Knowing home stadium advantages, manager tendencies and odds maker recommendations are must know data when placing your own bets so you can collect the winnings.

From August to May, the 20 EPL member clubs play 38 total games giving you plenty of opportunities to bet on winners, over/under scores and other soccer specific wagering bets.

Considering the fact that the EPL is the most-watched football league in the world, gives me Sports Techie goosebumps. NBC Sports Network here in the United States is part of the International broadcasters covering a whopping 212 territories. This allows 643 million homes, plus a TV viewership in the range of 4.7 billion people, to engage with a historical sport I personally love just like many of you.

Remember, betting with emotions is normally a lost cause however augmenting your hard-earned instincts with statistics and graphics, expert perspective, and data-centric analysis, is smart business and the better way to wager. Sports Tech tools are there to support you, not do your thinking for you.

Download these popular apps via Google, use them in tandem and watch your win percentages grow just like your purse.

See y’all later here in Atlanta.
