A 9p drop on a £3.93 player isn't much.

I happen to think Cherki is a good player but some may be of the mind that his price is already quite high and that it could be a while before another significant rise will be had. Some youngsters will go up and up(Haaland) but others will tumble (Brewster was £3.72 in July with lots of hype almost everywhere but is now sitting at £2.13 as an example). At this price I imagine some people are reducing their risk as it is unknown to some degree if and how long it will take for Cherki to reach the levels needed to become a £5 or £6 player.

Daniel Parejo is a dividend legend yet look at his graph for the past several months as an example of how this isn't necessarily always rewarded over the whole season. Timing is everything.

I would also heartily agree with those advising against this approach. It is inefficient with often minimal or no rewards and the strong possibility of losing money.

I got 8p in dividends from a 2.5k port.

Sardar Azmoun 59p

Iranian and playing in Russia so not an obvious one. Has had some previous transfer links though and could be a good hold as a transfer speculation hold for the summer.

18 games in the league with 7 goals and 5 assists. Also scored twice in the champions League this year but now knocked out.

4 in 50 is borderline prolific.

I've seen it several times in League 1/2. One side got whooped by a huge margin so the ref blows up dead on 90 minutes. I never considered anything odd in it. The same also happens some times because tempers are flaring right at the end of the game and the ref seemingly sees no upside to playing 4 more minutes.

I find there is often better value to be had outside the Premier League. 80% of my port is from outside this league. A lot of money is made on FI by seeking out players that could move to the EPL and thus become inflated in price. Only buying from the EPL removes a very profitable stream of trades.

Virgil is great value at the moment.

I've re-bought into Plea. Has been a good hold for me previously and with a recent dip in price he is looking good value again.
