I think it would be better to go off of how many games he's available for since he probably will be left out a time or two. I'd say so long as he's not injured for 10 games or more.
What's the stakes of this wager??

Patience we aren't there yet
You just get into your training and I'll take the negotiations from here.
Fair point. Or how about using total minutes played as the metric? We could use Transfermarkt.com as a neutral source for the data.

Yes that's fine. His season with Norwich he had 2450 or so. Let's say over 2400?

I thought the same. Hard to get the Germans to leave the Bundesliga though
Yep
So I'll wager that Emiliano Buendia will NOT, over the course of the 2021 - 2022 season, score at least ten goals and make at least ten assists for Aston Villa in Premier League fixtures. Cup games don't count, penalties don't count either.
If the player fails to play at least 2400 minutes in Premier League fixtures in the relevant season, the wager is null and void (unless he reaches the targets in fewer than 2400 minutes?)
If the player scores at least ten goals AND makes at least ten assists, you win. If he scores less than ten goals AND makes less than ten assists, I win.
What if he reaches one target but not the other?
Yeah, reasonable.

This is probably the easiest bet you'll ever make...

Oh wait wait wait I thought it was 10 combined haha.
Can we meet and do 15 combined? I don't think he'll score 10 goals but 10 assists feels plausible.
Edit: Just to add on here but only 6 players got to 20 non-penalty goals and assists combined last year and only two (Son and Kane
) got 10 of each. I rate Buendia, but not that much.

I thought you rated Buendia as a brilliant player

I genuinely misunderstood him.I thought you rated Buendia as a brilliant player

Still I'm willing to go to 15 goals+assists. KdB had 16 last year.
I thought you were of the firm opinion that:Oh wait wait wait I thought it was 10 combined haha.

a) Buendia has already performed well in the Prem previously; and
b) Villa were NOT taking a big gamble by paying £33m (rising to £38m) to sign him?
How can the above two points co-exist with a lack of faith that he can score ten goals and make ten assists in a season? I mean, a proven premiership player who is value for money at £33m MUST be able to deliver that. Right?
