Lads and Coral have priced up this interesting market that not many have talked about and is a version of the the Top Group Goalscorer Market divided group by group...

Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

Brazils players rightly dominate the market, possibly Oscar at 16/1 would be the value player from their team.
For Mexico Peralta (14/1) and Hernandez (20/1) the two likely starting strikers make some appeal.
Worth noting that Mandzukic misses the first group game v Brazil for Croatia
Pick: Oscar (small bet)

Group B: Spain, Holland, Chile, Australia

Wide open this one with Spains starting striker between Costa, Torres and Villa and with RVP not trusted to stay fit.
Robben and Pedro both 12/1 look decent prices though.
Silva 25/1 and Iniesta 40/1 look a touch overpriced too as 3 goals should be enough to get at least a share in this group.
For Chile Vidal 18/1 looks decent
- All in all a very hard group to call, small bets on Silva and Iniesta for me at big prices...

Group C:

Colombia, Ivory Coast, Japan, Greece

Cant look beyond the Colombian players in this weak group, but its not certain who will start alongside Gutierrez.
Either Martinez 8/1 or Bacca 10/1 would be very big if they started every game.
Gutierrez at 8/1 may well do but doesn't have the scoring pedigree and played more of a support role to Falcao in qualifying despite scoring a fair few.
Yaya Toure would be appealing but 12/1 isn't great, James Rodriguez is the same price and could feature strongly in this bet too.
Pick : Medium bet on Martinez

Group D: Italy, England, Uraguay, Costa Rica

This could well be a low scoring group so 2 goals could tie in this market, especially with Suarez semi fit.
Balotelli 5/1, Sturridge 8/1 and Cavani 8/1 seem the sensible bets.
But with so few goals likely id be tempted to go for an outsider, Forlan 33/1 and Lallana 40/1 look big enough for small bets.

Groups E-H to follow....

Any thoughts....

Messi 3/1 for Argies looks big Lads only 15/8 Coral.

Note: Vidal is an injury concern for Chile's opening game, and as it is against Australia, they may not risk him even if fit.

Vargas at 25/1 with Paddies for me.
