I will be monitoring the prices of these players in the build up to the new season but I'm gonna bide my time as I expect a drop in prices after a little investment in these players this morning.

Appreciate the input from you guys - and some key points to take away from it.

For my trading strategy, the balance between long term holds and short term flips is about 25%/25% with the other 50% being Divi payers.

Seen Alena control matches (B team obviously) and he appears to have that something special about him - a certain presence or even arrogance about him, that his ability justifies.

Will come back to you guys in 3 years and see if it was worth it all! :)

Was just about to write what Mike has put above. It's just one of the quirks of the market, and since we know it's going to happen there is money to be made there. But yeah, it does make it more difficult to know when to get out: if a player's price rise isn't logical in the first place, how do you judge whether they are going to keep rising? That's a tough one to answer. Probably possible to get some kind of feel for it through experience, but ultimately each case will be somewhat different and you'll need a bit of luck to sell up at the top of the peak.

@NewUser132861 refresh, refresh , refresh,refresh, for about 10 mins then they will pop up about double ipo price 😊

He’s popped up a couple times (before I joined FI I was made aware of him). Not a bad shout tbh 👍

I think there’ll be a dip again before the new season. Might get some game time during ore season, maybe a few more appearances. More long term. Trying to be careful with where money goes at this stage of the season and so many potential drops too before the new season begins

@NewUser45842 do you have a strategy???? Anyone investing in these two players would need to have in the back of their mind nothing might happen for 2/3 years.... if you hold and they become as good as they say they are then you win big... If you want quick flips try the form guide and those playing regularly.... Always a gamble to take a teenager and expect to turn that into profit within a couple of months of them IPO'ing?

I know a few people like to have a punt on single game days, On Wednesday while Real play Bayern, Caen are at home to Toulouse, there's a couple decent Caen players (PB wise) who might just sneak the triple PB payout. Prices 45p-70p.

@Chicken-Badge he's definitely not on 45 million a year lol 4.5 million euros or £75k a week and plenty of players in Italy on way more than 115k juventus have a few on over 200k a week. Maybe u need some new news sources😋

@FranklynMary said in Luka Jovic- why is he only 54p:

@SMacFI
I don’t understand a problem with pointing out players. If someone wants a player at 50p, £2, £5 or 10, it’s their own portfolio. I have been happy seeing all the potentials and the shout outs, it’s really helped open up my portfolio (and more importantly my watchlist). On the possibility that MAYBE someone had an agenda and was trying to make a quick flip, if people do their own research then it’s down to them anyway. I appreciate the heads up and if I feel a player can make money then I have no reason recommending some either! No-one has to go with anyone’s recommendation but no problem people suggesting some 👍

Agreed mate, and time always builds reputation.

@Pierrey2129

I joined in Oct 2017 and tried lots of different strategies, but switched to a MB focussed approach at the start of Feb 2018.

It’s delivering very regular MBs, probably an average of 4-5 per week, plus the occasional PB.

Share price growth was doing really well until the last fortnight, when it’s dropped a bit. But i’m in it for the long term and unless a major injury occurs, intend to hold these players for several years.

I use Noir’s data to only invest in the Top 10 players which actually win MB on a regular basis.

@leegiles9 Think he will be part of the CB merry go round, 25 mil buy out clause as well

I think the bigger picture (ie post WC) suggests that Otamendi's value will rise as his PB scores for City will more often then not be high. Which will attract buyers driving up his price.. My only concern would be his age at 30 and is there any other value to him than simply PB?

@NewUser140772 a few of the rules have changed since they were written. The old deadline was 12pm the night before. It has changed to 2pm now so any shares bought before this are eligible but the rules don't reflect this.

There are a few rules that need updating. Not sure if it's a deliberate thing to leave them so they could change back (unlikely) or just someone not going back and updating the rules.

In your senario as long as you bought the extra 10 pogba before 2pm then you would get paid for all 20. This is why you see players shoot up if they get an early goal in a 1230 kick off like Rashford Vs Liverpool.

@FranklynMary Griezmann, I would suggest is the biggest risk, with his transfer being pretty much agreed, EL/Wc propping his price up before he drops to arounds PC, PB obviously will make an impact but, really cant see any raise. your other picks though cant fault.

He'll bounce back, he's a top player, I've bought a few recently.

@nally93 they can only go as low as the IPO price.

This is the bottom of the lowest blue line on the graph. Most players will rise alot on IPO day so the graph will start higher than the IPO price. There have been some discussions on this in the past and some people do not agree but the commonly accepted rule is IPO price is as low as they can go.

read his story on wikipedia earlier (so it might not be true) quite strange... sounds like his foster dad holds all the playing cards???

probably destined for a big money EPL move where dad takes a cut so expect him to be one of the buzz players not going to the WC this summer... Be surprised if he chooses Jamaica (according to what i've read) but if he doesn't stay in Germany that will effect his chance of playing for an adopted nation for another 5 years at least?
