2 prediction markets price this story:

Manchester City — the market puts it at 21%, with $6k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 13 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Manchester City wins the 2026-27 English Premier League title. It resolves to No if they do not win that specific championship. Readers often mistake the resolution date for the end of the current season or confuse this with any other league title.
Will Erling Haaland (Man City) be the top goalscorer of the 2026-27 Premier League season? — the market puts it at 62%, with $693 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 15 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Erling Haaland scores more goals than any other player in the 2026-27 Premier League season, and No otherwise. Only goals from official league matches count toward this total, while cup or European goals are excluded. Readers often mistakenly include goals scored in international competitions or assume a tie breaks in favor of the most famous player rather than alphabetical order.
