Point #1 - if they were overpriced then few people would buy them. IPOs are not a right for people to make free money.

Point #2 - nobody needs to deposit. They are giving away free money ffs, how can you moan about that?

I hope they never do another one. The market does not need them anymore.

I have 'invested' a reasonable sum of money into this platform. I do it with eyes wide open. As far as I can see, there are two risks to my money. The first is that the company goes bust. I judge the risk of this very low. The second is that the company loses its license, e.g. because of a campaign against it like we saw with FOBTs. I judge this unlikely.

I would never put so much money in here that my life would be in tatters if I lost it. But I am prepared to put a sum of money in here that would really hurt if I lost it.

Personally, I think you've dropped a bollock. The market will explode for the next six days as we have payday and the end of the bonus. There will be a 1st July sell-off but it won't be across the board and for many players it'll be less than the commission you've paid.

No, but what price can you put on the enjoyment (assuming you get some)?

Your port is fine. Let the current ship sail, more will be along later in the year and you'll be on them. But only if you stop tinkering and selling at the merest hint of trouble. If you constantly chase the trend you'll never make any money.

Transfer rumours and a home game against Chelsea coming up. Surely only going in one direction in the next couple of weeks?

Whoever they are*, there will be a point in the next 12 months where you will make a nice profit imho.

• Unless you've bought total and utter tripe.

Things go in cycles. The worst thing you can possibly do is sell up and chase the cycle. Hold firm with your holds and the good times will be around the corner.

MB? No chance. Suspect he'll get as much MB as Reinier.

Shocking hold at that price if he ain't coming to the Premier League, imho.

I've picked up top talents like Fati, Rodrygo, Cherki, Elliott, Gravenberch, etc. with some shit house bids. If FI has any sort of future, these guys will rocket in the months and years to come. We'll all be looking back saying "if only I'd bought more"...

Just done my bit by market buying 1,000 Maxi Gomez. Four games to try to land some 10p goals :D

Big final push - surely we can beat last time's field!

Finally got round to paying. Looking forward to the competition again :)

Brilliant move for holders as another huge transfer to come in the next few years if he succeeds. Comparisons with Cristiano going to intensify.

I think he's now one of the best investments you can make when you add in Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022 to come as backstops for your money.

If Messi leaves then Griezmann could be gold again...

Thanks for running this again Matt. I've joined and the money will be paid before the deadline. Looking forward to it - great comp!

Looks like the free hit was a curse not a blessing but I'm not complaining as looks like I've pipped Matt to 2nd. Thrilled if that's the case and will be gunning to go one better next season!

You're looking at the wrong type of players. You want to take a punt on the likes of Fabio Silva, Umaro Embalo, etc.

That's the type of player in the Portuguese, Dutch and Belgian leagues that can really make you rich if they explode. Examples in those other two leagues are Ryan Gravenburch, Myron Boadu, Yari Verschaeren, etc.
