Best Possible Dividend Change?
-
MB, PB or IPDs? Where is the greatest need for change? The index is listening. What say you?
-
@Vespasian32 has made some very good suggestions and I hope they’ve listened to him. 👍
-
As I've posted before my proposal would be:
- Triple media on single match days
- Get rid of PB star player
- Add 1p dividend for 2nd places on PB on double/treble match days
- Bonus 1p dividend for any PB score over 300 (not the 1.25 multiplier figure though)
- No changes to IPDs.
On the back of an envelope, it means twice as many winners for punters, but only around a 15-20% increase in payouts by FI. This means more people have the feeling of winning, and giving extra value to players with consistently good scores, but limiting the financial risk to FI.

@kristiang85 I would love to see even part of your suggestions implemented 👍👍👍👏👏👏

@Sol Some kind of 2 tier media dividends structure with top 200 reaping the better dividends? One for the big investors. Placating the big fish could be secret to the future of this platform. We've certainly missed them at the top end of the market recently.

@kristiang85 Why "get rid of PB star player"?
-
@Dalien-Smith another good suggestion 👏 anything to put the confidence back into the ‘actually’ good players. Let’s hope this is the end of the ‘flip’ trend!

I think if we do get any sort of significant change sacrifice would have to be made. The Star man looks vulnerable to disappearing for me.

Because at the moment it means 1 player wins dividends twice - yes, big wins for whoever has that player, but more people getting smaller wins would be more positive for the index, in my humble opinion. By removing the star player dividends, that means a bit of extra cash to fund the 2nd places on double/treble days, and the extra media on single match days.
My suggestion for the 1p bonus for scores of over 300 is the replacement.

Media for me and in fairness when you consider euro qualifying PB, squad MB and that it got the least generous increase last time. I like the suggestion above for extra media on single matchdays above.

1p increase across the board on everything...simples!

Agreed. I think I wrote something similar recently. 2p across the board would be even better!
-
@NallyCat agree it should be media... Think it will be pb as the biggest beneficiary, maybe some boost to mb.
I sold neymar at the wrong time. But I'm glad for the future growth of the market that this is happening.
People like to cricise the moaners... But we got the job done, FI do listen.
-
@kristiang85 This is controversial. I think a star man deserves some extra bonus £ simply because he is the best guy on that day.
-
Pb increase across the board except ipd’s.
Treble media everyday.

How would FI fund this though? They are still a business at the end of the day.

That 0.5% would cause a bit less trading, therefore possibly wiping out the advantage of charging more.

I'm not sure what they will do.
People buying now are straight out gambling.
Any increase should be good news - hopefully they can afford it. Plain stupid this move if they are hedging their bets on increasing revenue.
