Tim Leibold - left back for Hamburger in BL2. If they get promoted his PB scores should be very impressive or who knows, maybe a transfer to BL club. Current price = 48p.

Timothy Castagne - only 24, playing for Atlanta. Once Serie A resumes and with champions league continuing shortly seems a bargain at 88p.

Fred - has his critic, but his PB scores are really strong and has won a couple of times before covid. Gets a decent amount of media attention and if Utd kick on after covid (they have great remaining fixtures) then can't see why he wouldn't be a £3+ player. Current price = £1.65

@NewUser159387 said in Can trading the ME spread be viable strategy?:

Exploiting market depth can prove profitable, now IS only depends on other traders buy orders it can be volatile & can fluctuate wildly, as was highlighted on the Igahlo thread where 93p to 150p was possible within a couple of hours, which may reduce over time as traders build confidence & commit more funds, but also provides short term opportunities. I tried to top up a long term hold on the cheap as I noticed there were no buy orders/IS price at all, buying Adama Soumaoro at my 15p bid price (against Market price of 33p) but then matches dried up, so checking why, I noticed that whilst the displayed IS has ticked up to 17p there was a buy order for 31p within it so I flipped a small number for an incredible 100% ROI in less than 24 hours.

On the 2nd part regarding adama soumaoro.....How do you know/determine what buy and sell orders there are? And the prices of these?

Got some Sterlings for 5.20 (market price 5.76) - 1p above market sell haha :D

@MickTurbo @ScouseSte

I think bids are going through, saw 1 Neymar buy for 40p under market price...

I didn't confirm the bid, but it looks like it is already working on web.

Assume it just wont get matched yet?

Haven't really been paying too much attention to the Matching Engine, but is the general expectation that at first you will be able to offer significantly lower bid prices to pick up players on the cheap (assume just above the IS price)?
However at the same time people will be delisting to prevent selling at these lower prices (is this how it will work if shares are already in the sell queue?) - and then prices will be expected to rise again.

Therefore either take advantage now before delisting or try get in fast on big spreads when ME comes out?

Got a load I could mention, some below and many already have been on here ..but Ludwig augustinsson at under 40p. Swedish international, mid 20s and left back for werder Bremen!

Also ozak kabak, Xavier schlager, Mattias ginter and Christian Gunter look rather cheap to me.

Anyone know if previous PB wins would have happened if classified as def at the time?

Do we still think good value at £2 ish? Should have bought in long ago but never did!

Money to be made for those with big balls. Same applies to the stock market....

@EZDean hope you don't mind me borrowing your original post but thought this guy fits in here!

"Simeon Nwankwo - 27 y/o ST at Serie B - 6'6" who's scored 14 goals (joint second top-scorer in the league) and assisted 3 in 27 games, he's dragged his team to 1 point within the automatic promotion slots now so the possibility of PB football next season is very realistic if their form continues - 10 matches left of the season in the Serie B. He's scored in the last 3 games, assisted in the one before that, then scored in the one previous. He's in great form."

@MickTurbo any thoughts on this guy and Crotone in general? Now 30p ish
