Could i have some advice on my portfolio please- new ish user

Hi everyone- i am relatively new to this and was going to ask for some advice on my portfolio.
-
-
Decent enough. Just keep an eye on those over 30s, don't age well on fi, they need to return divs to hold their price. Maybe sell some of the oldest on their next spike.
-
Remember you pay 2% comission when you sell so even if you sell Daniel James at a 1p profit you will be making a loss. (I got burnt by that for months!)
Why are you selling him?

Good spot @Lukeroro I didn't notice this... I'd hold James now that your in, he will have big spikes in future, now is not a good time to sell him.
-
@Lukeroro because Daniel James struggled to nail a place in Yeovil's team a few years back.
Struggled in the Wolves game & COULD be massively out of his depth.
Yet to convince me he's anything but a sprinter.

The white Usain Bolt ... 🤔⚡🤣

@Ericali i was just thinking money could be spent better elsewhere. I dont think he will ever return a dividend- unless mb. But maybe it is a bda time to sell. Do peiple think he will play saturday?
-
Any young players worth investing in that arent ridiculously expensive

Looks good overall, just a shame that your biggest investment is probably the biggest faller on Football Index. Long term in sure Neymar will come good. I had 25% of my port in Neymar when I first joined and ended up selling up in May due to the injuries/rape allegations and fan punching all happening quite close together. I was banking on a good copa America and when the last injury happened I IS at a big loss.
He's a difficult hold, but there's no doubt he's going to get some monster PB scores when he starts playing again. The only question is where will he be. If he stays at PSG I expect him to go up to around 7.50, then higher when he starts winning pb
-
@Jdog the 3rd spot in Utd's top 3 is anyone's guess.
Martial & Rashford seem like the certain starters.
The third spot, take your pick.
James
Greenwood
Lingard
Mata
Sanchez
Dalot

@Jdog so your portfolio is basically the Neymar and Pogba show! As long as you're happy with this exposure, that's fine, but it means in reality you don't have a very diversified portfolio. I know very few people will agree with me on this, but if I were you I'd significantly reduce the Neymar and Pogba holdings, and increase others where you believe there's a chance of capital appreciation. Also, you may find that having that many players in your portfolio is difficult to manage, how do you keep up-to-date with their form, their scoring record, their injuries, etc. Again, I know there are plenty of traders with 100s of players who'd disagree with me, but I'd look for maybe 20-30 players maximum. Just my opinion tho
-
@Ericali he was clearly bought recently so what's changed @Jdog 's mind on holding him is more my query.
-
@Lukeroro i bought him about 3 weeks ago and just a silly buy really. He looked real impressive in pre season and also just bought into the hype unfortunately
-

Josh Maja - 79p (English)
Fullkrug - 48p (German) obviously not English but could/should get game time now Rashica is injured & he's cheap.
Replaced Rashica last week when the injury occurred.

So why are you selling? In a sentence or bullet points
-
@Ericali thanks for these tips mate will look into them and maybe dabble in. Anyone got any advicr on how many shares to buy in players or how much to spend
-
@Lukeroro because i just dont kniw if he is going to play regularly and at 2.50 thats quite expensive. Also, can just make money elsewhere i think easier
-
Any players anyone thinks i should definitely sell
-
@Jdog try & look at it as how many £'s you want it to move by each positive tick (1p rise)
You buy 200 shares (regardless of value) it moves £2 a tick
500 shares - £5 a tick
1,000 shares - £10 a tick
2,000 shares - £20 a tick
Etc.The amount of shares you buy depends on the value of the player.
