Yep i put it off for ages too, Indeed would be a great advert, would get far for then 737 views if it were on twitter that's for sure !

So i found this on you tube, thought it was interesting, 20-20 hindsight and all that.

I have held De Jong since the start of the season, PB wise he has not really set the world on fire yet but he absolutely has the potential to do so. Bought in at £2.09 and today is the first day in a long while that he is in the green for me. Bought as a long term hold so the dips don't worry me too much, however he does seem to be a player that people will quite easily Just IS atm the way the market has been. I think more then anyone this player needs to get close to or win some divs quite soon at the moment most of his games (more for barca then holland) he has not even been in the conversation for divs, that needs to change or i can see a lot of the money that went into him today, coming back out again in a few weeks . Of course if he does win those divs then he will undoubtedly rocket, and more importantly he will have the market sentiment behind him and he will be on his way and £2.15 will seem a snip. to be fair though Barca have got a pretty nice run of fixtures coming up (apart from the Madrid game) so if he is gonna do it then now might be the time.

Not held sensi, but i have had a look into him, but he has had a few decent PB scores and is one of those that often is in the conversation for divs, so he is a decent shout. However i think you get more bang for buck out of Luis Alberto for £2.55 (as opposed to £2.69) easier European fixtures nice double header against celtic comming soon, lazio have looked decent this year and what ever they have done good, luis alberto is been involved with it, also is actually playing with strikers that have a first touch and can do the whole 1 chance 1 goal thing rather then lukaku who has no first touch and needs 5 attempts to finish which helps with his assist potential no end.

Looks like he is Back in training, Which is good news !! shouldn't be long until his back in the team for Bayern and Germany

So does anyone know, what happens if the England game gets abandoned at some point due to racist chanting, do FI pay out on the ipds for the goals that have already been scored?

@Ole-ole I think he was just saying that he had just re investing the dividends that Bonucci won last night (4p which if he got on at 0 .38 would be a 10% ROI more or less), I believe that his original holding in Bonucci still stands. However if that were not the case, then yeah that would be bang out of order to dump after 1 game after creating a thread about him to say jump on for at least 8 games, but i don't Believe that is the case here.

Man has a good point !! yeah you know that's exactly what would happen. Imagine the horror at 1 sec past midnight, if you held futures in say Boateng and Lewindowski after Bayern see out a drab 0-0 draw, you gonna get hit at both ends as everyone IS them Both, Ouch.

Only other thing you can do i guess is give them their own PB category i guess and GKs too, but i cant see that happening.

@MickTurbo Maybe you could award clean sheet IPDs to CBs only maybe CS 1p and then increase CS IPDs for GK to 2p. After all clean sheets are pretty hard to come by these days with so many teams putting an emphasis on attacking football in the modern game. Scrap the 2p for a goal for GK (cause like how often does that ever actually happen) and reduce the CB/GK goal/assist to 1p like every other player. That might level up the playing field between CBs and WBs, whilst WBs would still have the edge on the PB matrix to win the match day divs. But at least there would be a valid reason now to buy CBs/GKs in advance of nice fixture runs even if it was just on a short term basis whilst the IPDs remained in effect.

@Londoner Indeed i was aware of this, i was actually at home yesterday so i was able to read it live as the posts came in, tbh i didn't see much wrong with it, but i guess FI had their reasons.

But you raised a valid point in that concerns were raised and FI did something about it, and lets be honest i don't think any of us expected them to do anything this quickly (you could argue that this has been brewing for a while) but yesterday it really kicked off and FI acted a day later. So credit to FI on that one!! As an investor all you can really ask for is that concerns are listened to when they are raised and FI have fulfilled that requirement in that book, so again credit to them.

@ yellow

Yeah so the red line on the graph is my deposits, so the massive spikes in the blue and green lines co-inside with the deposits i have made so that's effectively my own cash rather then any actual growth from the market, so from a post bonus high of just below 2.3K which i think the 30th Sep i.e. the day before the 10% deposit bonus ended down to about 2.18K and that was midnight last night, by 9am this morning was down to about 2.16K so like £9/£10 above my deposit line ie very close to starting to eat into my own funds rather then just profit margin. Felt like an absolute nosedive to me at the time. Thankfully though the dividend announcement came in the nick of time and i should end the day about £80/£90 up on where i was yesterday. Happy Days without it though, another day like yesterday and i feel i would be in negative territory.
