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.

@Dan-w Oh ya. Fuck all responsibility taken. All my fault. Then "fine I won't wash your shit up anymore" and me going "ah shit happens, don't worry".

@ScouseSte said in Pogba, Hold or sell:

@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.

@Tom77 said in Sub 40p players list:

Javier Hernandez, 27p. Looking to move to Spain, he gets 1 in 2 wherever he goes and still only 31. He has a better record than most strikers double his price for IPD players, think traders will pile in if he gets a move to la Liga.
I’ve brought a load in anticipation.
Can’t really see the difference between him and max kruse (32) and kruse seems to have a lot of market sentiment, prob 50-60p if he was still in Germany.

Kruse is a different player, much more than a goalscorer. He created lots of chances and had excellent PB. I was on him earlier on but unfortunately looks like he's going to Turkey because he wants loads of money.

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!!

@Matt-FI Would love to be added if its still on.

andrew_li07@hotmail.co.uk

So I tried not to care anymore because the top 3 have not been affected, but yet again it's all wrong and not ok

This is what they paid out on tonight

Yet both football Guru and Football Index Scout say completely different apart from the winner...

@Finlay77 Good shout and advice. The platform will carry on growing, but all those who don't agree on this need to voice it. Cos at this rate we going to have 50000 defenders and goalkeepers without much return in value.

I will maintain that peter e made a risky buy he could have been flat for a month or so. I jumped on ten p later for significantly less risk knowing he was going up. For me i still think i made a better buy with significantly less risk of dead money or depreciation. But enjoy your champagne. I too might have a glass. :)

I like the logic. A good few potential shots at pb and hopefully people will have a look as they prepare for Euro 2020. A couple of people on the podcasts saying they’re looking to get ahead of that trend now. Burda seems like a very accessible version of this!

@DW said in Sub 20p players list!:

Mykyta Burda - 14p

Just turned 24 CB whom plays and starts for Dynamo Kyiv and Ukraine national team. Dynamo Kiev have a strong chance of qualifying for the champions League (enter at 3rd qualifying stage) and if unsuccesul will go into Europa League. Ukraine currently sit top of there Euro 2020 qualifying group on 9 points above Portugal and are almost certain to qualify.

He is going to get constant exposure and PB games over the next year at both club and country level and also pops up with the odd goal!

@In-for-a-penny It's what Hans the Man does, no-one knows why, he just does......

WATCH THIS SPACE!! IN all seriousness I have been taking most of your comments on board and do understand your horror at having MBs away. That horrible feeling of dread when you think of what you are going do on those cold lonely nights with no dividends to sit up and wait for. Its that feeling we have all had when the Wife has left us, or the Girlfriend has kicked you into touch, Eh I'll get pissed, What am I gonna do with myself, I feel ya guys, I do.

So ! GUESS WHAT ! Ive only gone and done it ! I have cracked how to put the light back into your dreary miserable FI MB obsessed lives, put a smile on your faces ! Just as we asked MR Fantasy to Sing A Song, Make it Snappy and Make us all happy, Just as Blind Faith did I am Mr Fantasy, Bringing joy.

A NEW TOPIC ! COMING SOON TO A FORUM NEAR YOU!

The revised proposal ! with MBs ( Sort OF) restructured dividends and not a day without them. No Nibbling just taking a keen interest in my fellow investors on FI. Your friendly helping hand.

Dont worry I won't want your gratitude or need any credibility in FI FI land I have a real world where I have enough of that Thanks. So even after 50 posts from the same person and probably the same in replies on top of which a sum total of 170 posts I get picked up on my grammar. The word Grammar slipped out of the dictionary 40 years ago along with any meaning it had. Have you seen a 16 year olds text message lately. Yet still I have been working away so that you guys could have your wish and can celebrate a victory.(SORT OF)

@FairlyNewUser Yeah that was quality 🤣
