Thanks for doing this, great work. Imagine if you had bought even half that list as a portfolio before the season started, you would be quids in.
It would be interesting to see a list of the remaining top 200 players that are yet to win any PB and see what a comparison of their prices would look like . I suspect that it would contain quite a few of my portfolio as well.!!

To be fair, under invested probably was the wrong word to use, try poorly recruited instead.
Yeah 900m and i struggle to name anyone who has turned out to be a really good buy in that time.
@Chris-J yep your bang on there. Absolutely no point in changing the manager now.
I think if Zidane wanted the job he would have got the job when Jose left given that he wasn't with a club at that time, clearly he didn't want it and with our squad who can blame him.
Yes ole doesn't make subs quick enough and his team selections are iffy, mata and matic should a) not started or b) pulled at half time, i would rather lose with a team full of kids building for the future then scrape a win or draw with the dross that is currently our 1st team. For some reason he likes to play the experienced players (Mata, Matic etc) but the truth is our squad just is not good enough, it would not make the blindest bit of difference who you put in charge. I hope that today's result will be the final nail in the coffin for the sort of team line up that we saw today, play fred and the kids and lets see what happens, at least its exciting when they play them rather then watching mata run out of energy and disappear out the game and matic perfecting his sideways/backwards passing.
Ole just needs to be brave, hopefully today will just prove that really he has nothing to lose.
The blame for this lies with the board not the manager, they have under invested for the last 10 years, and now they are reaping the results of that under investment.
Sorry but if you are going to sack anyone sack woodward simple as that. If he wants the responsibility for recruitment (i.e no DOF ) then he has got to carry the can for it as well after literally years of total fuck ups in the market. But this will never happen glaziers love him too much.
yep bat shit crazy sums it up nicely, and that's without taking into account having to play Pep Roulette each week with my luck it will be Sterling rested on the bench like KDB last time around.
Good luck to you as well, hope Salah has a good week for you and picks up some value, i don't hold so at least i dodged that bullet.
Hi everyone
So its been an interesting month so far as a new user (since July) I can say that i honestly don't know what to make of it. A dip/drop like this, the like of which i have not seen before in my short time here on the platform, i am not going to lie it is been very disconcerting. Its been hard watching the profit i had built up over the last two months dwindle away for no apparent reason (8.5% at its peak down to 2.54% currently). When things started to slide i began to track my portfolio performance on a graph against my deposits and to be fair by doing this i actually alleviated a few fears as yes there were a few dips here and there but there was always a mini recovery, this week its not looking so good. For those that are interested my graph of my port performance is below,
Its all very well saying that peoples all time profits are still high and that this is just a cycle or just a correction and yes i am well aware that this is a gambling platform and that no one has a god given right just to make free cash out of this. However myself and people who joined around the same time as me just have not had the time to build up up some mad ROI % and have not benefited from the numerous deposit bonuses that have been done over the last year nor did we benefit from the share split either. So this drop does feel like a bit of a kick in the teeth so to speak (rightly or wrongly) Having said that I want to be here for the long haul and i am not looking to pull out my money especially now as there there is no point in doing so as i would lose most of what profit i have to FI's Commission so i guess i will have to stick it out.
What i would like to know is, those of you out there that feel that this is nothing more then just another FI cycle, how confident are you in this assumption can you put a % on it ? how long are we expecting this current cycle to last before it changes?
More importantly is this actually a good opportunity for those of us that trade in the top 200 market. After all people are always saying that you should always try and buy the dip on individual players, well the players are dipping everywhere, maybe the right move is to invest more capital increase player holdings while they are cheap and when the market in the top 200 recovers (which it must do at some point whether this is by just the changing o f the current cycle or by some sort of div increase or whatever) then when you come out the other side (provided that you have a port filled with good players and div earners) then you should be in a better position after the dip then you were before?
Like i say i really don't know what the right call is, would appreciate any insight from those who have been around the block a few times and have seen this happen before. Like does this happen (money draining out of the top 200 players) on a regular/periodic basis like every few months or so or whatever and its something that if you trade in the top end of the market you just have to deal with?
Today was the day that i had marked in the calendar to increase my holdings in both Sterling and Sancho by another 10 futures in each in order to renew their IPD potential over the next 30 days, while the fixtures for City and Dortmond are good.
Now i am not so sure if i should bother, I guess i got to 2pm to decide.
Found a nice article about is here, looks like another few weeks unfortunately at least the problem is sorted now just recovery time i guess.

I kinda think that Kimmeich being moved to CM was more to do with Goreska being injured at the start of the season. Which would see Kimmeich move back to RB and Pavard to CB. I think Pavard will still be a good option but i don't hold and probably wont be buying in, but that's more to do with the fact i already have holdings in a few Bayern players (hernandes/thiago/kimmeich/Goreska) and i would not want any more then that right now, but i should think that Pavard would be good for the EUROs too so he is still a decent pick, just not for me at the moment.
I went for Angel Gomes, topped up another 5 shares to cover the £10 needed, got a feeling he will start the league cup game against Rochdale, and if he can kick on from there the sky is the limit.
I have him as a long term hold and so will be keeping for the foreseeable future, topping up as and when i can as this is a player that i would like to have a much bigger holding in come the end of the season.
