@ukph said in Who going to the disco at 5pm this evening?:
I'm hearing TOTM is only for that month you buy?!?!
Where is this rumour being spread? The terms are clear. Hold the shares at midnight on the 21st (of any month) and they are eligible as long as you still hold at midnight on the last day of the month.
@MickTurbo seems to be lots of confusion on this, but the terms are clear. If you hold shares on midnight on the 21st of the month (any month) they are eligible as long as you still hold them at midnight on the last day of the month. So your Kimmich shares are in contention every month you hold them
7/10 for me
Positives:
the GK announcement has ruffled a few feathers but in all honesty people have been crying out for this for a long time and it had to happen. In six months it will feel part of the FI furniture and new users will be baffled it didn’t exist for so long.
TOTM is a great idea and again has long been asked for by a lot of users. Rewards consistent performers and will make finishing 2nd on matchday less of a kick in the bollocks. Very generous payouts and could be a nice monthly windfall.
4pm dividend deadline should lead to more matchday trading on a weekend and will help any lower priced players who get off to a flyer.
commission free bids until September means more Matching Engine fun for longer
Negatives:
the pitiful increases to MB/PB which we are told are now set in stone for 12 months. This doesn’t encourage me about big capital appreciation over the next year. May need an interim promotion or boost so divs keep stimulating growth, which defeats the point of an annual review.
not good for mid/low end players, other than the possible matchday trading boost referred to above.
@Highfields96 all eligible every month. You have to own on midnight on the 21st and still hold at midnight on the last day of the month
They announced when the matching engine launched that bids would incur a 2% commission. This doesn’t apply to market buys, only bids. The commission free period was supposed to end later thus month but it’s been extended to the end of September.
@pompeyjosh1990 the people on the phones at FI have a long history of getting things wrong! The terms state if you hold shares at midnight on the 21st and still hold them at midnight on the last day of the month, they are eligible.
Correct, good point, although you could argue it’s been pretty rare for a GK to out score all the defenders (hence the clamour for their own category)
@pompeyjosh1990 he’d be eligible every month
@ScouseSte small increase to silver and gold days
Interesting seeing Ederson so far down.... he seemed to be the main beneficiary of the rockets after the market reopened
