Normally I don't bite on these but I just read through all your previous comments. Not one positive and all talking about downturns for the last year. Is there an alterior motive here at all? Anyone else looking entertainment I'd recommend reading though the comment history!

Worth 45 seconds! Cheers, perked me right up!

No wonder he thinks it's in free fall! A year of losing money and complaining about it can't be fun.

@Keegans-Bluff -32 & triple captain....power play right there lol

Thanks for the stats

@johnboywalker I agree and probably also the wolf in sheep’s clothing. That’s a double cunt.

Your on thin ice calling FI’s most popular forum poster a c**t 😏 And a double one at that.

@TeamGB said in The footie down 400.: I sold players like Sterling as I just couldn’t see a worthwhile rise at £5+. I know there’s dividends flowing in with that type of player but saw capital appreciation in cheap players,

So after constant messages from yourself of how “the greedy moaners are out in force” etc. etc.
how do you justify this type of statement, particularly after a significant market drop?
I’m in decent profit recently too but I haven’t been accusing anybody concerned about the market of greed and/or poor trading.
So now may be a good time to explain why you think the dividends that should be underpinning the market are being ignored?

8 months ago and now hes roughly three times the price as that was pre share split. Probably made nearly as much elsewhere but just shows you the importance of patience i could of sat and done nothing and made good money

@Woody I cannot give exact reason for that. But the market always has it's ups and downs. The marketing is better than ever before and I see a physical advert almost every day now.
So the new starters will join meaning more healthier spread of users, meaning less reliance of smaller pool of big whales.
With the media opening up to the whole index shortly. I would be surprised if there was no MB change. Although I would prefer a increased PB positioning payout overall.

@Vespasian32 Nice, dividends helping during these drops.

@Dan-The-Man £3-4 at worst. Don't think that move is on the cards... Not a sarri type and they have a packed midfield.

Updated - 8 days before your final 2 submissions

Definitely sounds like a Trojan has been installed on your phone. No ads here either.

Thanks for the spreadsheet, would you be able to add a filter option to the Change and % change, if you do another one to make it a bit easier to sort the changes? That be much appreciated

@Sutt98 lool whoops, I'm in for 100 shares on the one you're on about anyway, pretty confident he will rise so I can make some quick profit

@Collymore10

I too joined hoping to use my ‘football knowledge’ to make some profit. However it’s turned into fastest finger first almost now. There’s no ‘football knowledge’ needed to buy someone the instant they score before the rush happens.

Obviously FI are loving this though, the amount of commission they must be making is massive. On the flip side it’s making some of their older ‘core’ users unhappy and pushing some towards the exit. Do they want this? Maybe they do and their aim is for it to be exactly like it is now...

If he can add a goal every month or so I can see him jumping in price.

If Liverpool go far in Europe again I would imagine his price will creep up.

Was at a high of 90p last season.

I hold I will sell up if he hits the 85p mark.

New ankle injury according to translated reports. The manager seems rather reluctant to play new signings as well (Hagi hasn’t played often). Will only hamper his chances of game time further. Really unlucky guy this season!

I think Bale is a great buy at his current price. Zidane obviously wants him gone but with asensio out with injury for a long time, bale will be a regular starter and there are only 2 outcomes. He plays really well and real keep him which will increase his price, or he goes in either January or summer, which will increase his price. Also with the euros coming up I think he is a solid hold. Bale is a skilled player, we can't deny him that, and I think the regular starts will get him back on his game and back above 2.50

Personally not invested huge sums in FI as bottom line - its new and gambling at the end of the day. I am happy with my returns as joined around 18 months ago. You need to decide when to extract and then do so. I reinvest in P2P which I realise has its own risks but offer another 7 per cent on money obtained from a gambling platform. IMHO spread the risk across loads of players.

Yes things are a bit shit at the moment for most people, but I alluded to this elsewhere and think it's worth mentioning again.

Football Index trebled their marketing budget ahead of the 2019/2020 season and it's worked as we've seen lots of new users to the platform. Obviously these new users, along with the proportional increase in IPDs vs MB and PB at the end of last season, have affected the dynamic of the platform and there is much more of a short term thing going on at the moment. Although many people's portfolio's are suffering, the health of FI as a company has surely never been better. Money can only leave the platform when players are sold and FI have taken their cut, so they are surely coining it in at the moment, especially with the size of spreads. FI have not spent all of this money on advertising for it to go bang by October 2019. This is a big season for them and they will be targeting consistent growth. They will not want to see the Footie falling, nor constant fear and panic on the forum and Twitter, that is all a bad advert. I believe FI will be well aware of the current sentiment and will take action if they feel they need to, and they will have the clout to do it. Personally I hope that is through an increase in MB and PB dividends rather than a deposit bonus but either way, I am sure something will come. Nobody on here can claim to know when that will be, but the way I look at it, something has to happen, and the money that I have in here is an investment in FI as much as anything else.

Ultimately if you believe in FI as a company, and you have a long term perspective then now is as good a time as any to be getting some dividend winners at good prices.

Nah. For now, only the first midfielder receive dividends. Yesterday, Coutinho finished first with 398 pts, B.Silva had 396. We can't do anything about that, it's the rules... Silva 3 pts higher would have won 8p per share
