Smug alert. I have mentioned him on here before. Originally a right back (counts as a DEF in FI) but now playing in a front three for Nice. Hat trick today. Yes, I do hold a lot of him.

I picked up 303 this week. Wish it was more.

Good call but 6p of IPD divis hardly warrants a 20p price rise, crazy market nowadays, but good time to sell for holders?

Yes, great minds and all that!

Feeling quite smug. I spent my outstanding balance on him a couple of minutes before 2pm as I had read a lot about him.
Originally a right back but been playing right wing, actually been playing left wing for much of today. Got on him as him as he ticks lots of FI boxes as he's young and has good PB. I was reading about him the other day and Nice don't expect to sell him or let Vieira go which is probably a good thing as his good PB is largely because of Vieira's desire to play possession football and keep clean sheets.
Didn't see his second or third goals but his first was a cracker, left footed volley, first time across goal and off the post. Doesn't look like much of a right back with finishing like that.

Not the best edited video but here's his hat trick:
-
Does he play striker every week?

No, most appearances have been at right wing back.

I’d be selling right now if I held a decent amount - can see a mass dump after midnight
-
@Chris-J that was my worry, the rise was huge, I bought 900 for 77p and put straight on the market at 88p they were gone in 5min, nice little earner.
-
@Andy-M yeah beautiful play there.
-
@LuaLua thanks 😁

I bought before 2pm so happy to keep. Atal has a PB win already and will get linked to bigger teams. When I first buy a player I buy excess so I can release some profit later down the line, which I'll do with Atal at some point. Seems a quality player.
Ahead of some big names on this list:

Fair enough I’m all for long term holding and hope it works out you.
I’ve been burnt in the past by not cashing in after freak performances like this - I know he has got great potential but a lot of the more recent investors will grow impatient when he doesn’t score every game along with those who will sell up after midnight.
The fact that he is a young player could offset these factors as his profile will have grown massively off the back of this and could find himself on the radar of a lot more big clubs.
I guess only time will tell but great investment if you held before today’s match.
-
He had PB form before today. Nice play a PB friendly game with a lot of possession and passing, plus always good value in a goalscoring ‘defender’.
-
Linked to Chelsea today. Article also mentions Athletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are interested.
Also been linked to Tottenham previously.

The buy-out clause is the main thing as it stands at 70M. Atal could do with another season in France as well. The balance between attacking and defending is something he's yet to figure out I must say.
