Ramy Bensebaini. 35p Rennes' natural CB turned LB who's been a focal point of their solid season and the Coupe de France win is apparently bound to leave the club this summer. Been heavily linked to Real Betis, Sevilla, Hoffenheim, Napoli and Everton in January. The Coupe de France trophy guarantees European football next season for Rennes should he stay and a step up to La Liga or a PL move will undoubtedly result in a rise in price. Oh, and he's only valued at €7-€8m by the club. Solid hold for me.

Top bloke that @Misto

Oh and congrats @Keegans-Bluff

Francesco Vicari - 23p - SPAL

25 year old centre back for SPAL who have a Friday night game next week.

@fantasyindex

Are journalists allowed to own an FI account?
Call me cynical but it only takes 3 or 4 of them to form a syndicate and then all write about players in their portfolio. It would be so simple, emailing each other towards the end of the day "right Pogba is in 7th place lads, throw up a couple of articles on his latest social media post and use some high scoring words in the title like FANTASTIC or WINNER"

Because FI isn't a "stock market", there is no regulating this behaviour.

No, I remember Jim White saying he wasn't allowed to do it on Talksport.

@MVViolaris said in POGBA- FI King 👑:

Genuine question here, in your own words you say Sheff Utd could be the next wolves, so why wouldn’t you compare Maupay to Raúl jiminez?

It's a fair question. Jiminez is 28 years old, Maupay and Jota are both 22 years old and we all know how important age is on FI. Also, when I make a comparison, I try to stack the odds against who I'm favouring, so as to be cautious with my comparison.

Last season Jota was the 5th highest scorer in the Championship, playing in a forcefully dominant Wolves side who walked the league, this season Maupay is the 3rd highest scorer in the Championship, with far more goals and assists than what Jota picked up and he's done that while playing for mid table Brentford.

It’s about time your pumping paid off on Maupay.

Looking back through my purchase history... I first bought in on Maupay for £1.70, on the 5th of January (7 days after joining FI). That's roughly 56p in todays post-share-split world. Those original futures are up 60% for me... which ain't bad for 5 months, to say I was a complete newbie when I bought in. It's not the best buy I've had on here but steady away. What I find super interesting about that, is I was willing to pay £1.70 for him.... shows you the kind of growth achievable.

Cheers guys. Wasn't quite how I anticipated CHO winning it for me, but I'll accept the trophy with pride. I will frame a picture of the trophy on my wall! Amazing how much fun yu can have with a small competiton that has no monetary incentive.

@Advinculas-Index thanks for running it and keeping us updated daily
@Misto looking forward to winning the next world cup addition!

Give it a rest Ericali

@SteveP said in Robert skov:

I’m saying it because I want to own him... I’m jealous of those who got in early

Bought him at 36p simply on his impressive numbers then but now a record breaking 29G & 9A in 34 games, add to that 9/13 for U-21. Convinced a PB league will come sooner rather than later & probably a bit more capital appreciation with it & possibly some MB thrown in - as you say clearly over priced!!

@NewUser69589 said in The Great Pogba Price Plummet.:

@ChazFI123
Hahahahahaha

Did say Pogba price will rise again from 6.70, and if u invested wisely you would have doubled up with dividends.

🚀🚀🚀
He was never going anywhere, United had full control of the situation. It wouldn’t shock me if he signed new contract now

Javier ostiveros, signed for Villarreal, 21years old from second division Malaga.

46p

Winger.

@MrWh1te said in Market Suspension 30th July 7pm:

@Martyn-B
Same here.
FWIW I hope I am wrong.

Its ok you are 😃

Sorry i couldnt resist 😂

More MB even on a quiet day for the lad😍

@NewUser303261 I’m hoping he will. All politicians have shady private lives, remember Churchill wasn’t the most savoury of characters privately. It’s worth noting however, he did a great many things for England. Here’s to hope 🍻

At least £1.2 after a couple of good games
