I'm certainly not going to hold him on single-name MB algorithm's as i think that's all bullsh*t and doesn't really have an effect on the market...

Usually only a 'big news' transfer rumour would stop Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi, Pogba, Kane, Salah (ie the top six highest value players on FI) from winning MB.. so on that basis... He could be called 'TRUMP' and it wouldn't make a difference as he needs to be sellable through performance or branding...

but I have recently invested and will look at the market to see what dividends he's brought in and to see if i get a decent return... He's obviously a good player and doing well for Man Utd next season could see his price soar even more but Ideally I would get out before then?.. I'll be monitoring though and hoping for some dividends over the next week or so... otherwise if he makes me 0.50 profit a share I'll be happy but if i'm not seeing much initial movement i'll probably keep and see how he does at OT.

My world cup wallchart says they'll be no surprises but of those lower than the odds of England in the pecking order I like Poland or Columbia in Group H as one of them will probably play either Tunisia or Panama in round two ;-)

Otherwise why not Egypt as i see Group A quite open (although they'll do well to get past Spain or Portugal in R2) whilst if Argentina or France don't win their groups one of the sides from C or D (probably Croatia perhaps Denmark) could go a long way?

Serbia or Mexico too perhaps??? I honestly can't wait and i'm foaming at the mouth thinking about it!!!!!!!

one thing i've noticed around the quiet times when no games are on is that the market does drop in general and the biggest players (ie the Ronnys, Salah's, Messi's) seem to take the biggest hit for obvious reasons (ie they cost more so will fall more)??? All I can presume it's down to is simply 'market correction' as these players will still earn you dividends but they can't keep being driven up in value as they need to have their down turn. Just like in real markets!!

I think we'll see a steady decline in all players over the coming weeks bar perhaps those ones with transfer speculation then when the World Cup starts the upturn will be positive for all... Don't panic, it can't always be UP, UP, UP just take those media dividends and sit tight and look at the longer term picture with your holds...

On another note..... great time to get in on the top players because their price will be lower now then it will be in a month and in August for that matter!

start the rumours with everyone who Emery's previously worked with below....

I was thinking N'Zonzi or Banega could be shouts? They need some steel and grit in midfield, Rabiot would at least give them a presence so not a bad shout... Also presume they'll be after a CB??? Exciting times for Arsenal as they might just sign what they actually need this summer? I already like the look of a Lacazette/PEA partnership up top so if they can fill in the voids they could be an outside threat for a bit of silverware?

I got in early picking Plattenhardt at Hertha at a ridiculous 0.53 (now 0.61) who gives them an option at left back should they play four across the back against some of the tougher opponents so fingers crossed he makes the cut. I've also got Gundogan at 0.92 who's now 1.41 and certainly one of the most underrated players in the squad. I do like Goretzka though at 1.68 still relatively cheap considering the influence he could have and might be a big scorer for Bayern in PB next year? Draxler too at 1.97 offers plenty of 'national' value!!!

@Ozzlebert hahahahhahahahahahaha you forgot to mention cheese!!!! ;-)

Everytime we mention a price hike, "can Neymar go up more" etc there's always at least one suggesting that it can't be done, it wouldn't work, he's not worth it etc.... do investors that put 8k into bitcoin think like this? No? Because if we did we would all be putting into cryptos at the lower end??? Fact is that Neymar brings in guaranteed dividends so whilst ever he's doing this people will invest in him at whatever cost he is... which as the market leader then drives up the rest of the market!!!!

£20/£40/£100 a share would no doubt be FI's most optimistic (secret) targets because if he's doing well (as long as he's the best player in the world once Messi & Ronaldo pack up) the whole market will be doing well.

The only thing that can stop his price rising short term (as we've found out his market value is immune to injury) is a share split which i suppose will be win win as no doubt he'll still eventually reach the price he's at again!!!

No brainer, if you believe in FI.... Believe in Neymar!!!

I'm all eggs & baskets on an Icardi to Madrid move but heard United might be in for him now although not sure if they need that sort of player? I'm thinking Mourinho could be in for Griezmann instead but Barca are also likely to want him... I wonder if they break the bank this summer although more realistically they could be Luis Alberto or Iago Aspas perhaps? I think Werner to Bayern could be on? Hazard interests me as a super WC might see the big boys come in for him? Real or Barca again perhaps? Bale to Man Utd or Tottenham and Fekir to Arsenal or Spurs perhaps?? Lemar to maybe Liverpool or Arsenal? Or i see a good fit at juve?

Out of the freebies Max Meyer could leave for the EPL (again someone like Spurs/Arsenal) as could Asamoah from Juventus (Chelsea?) and I like Badelj who's been a good solid pro in Serie A for a number of years? He could be an astute buy for anyone in the EPL top six for a short term instant fix at least??

My take on Neymar is that a lot of people 'hold' his futures based on him eventually overcoming Messi & Ronaldo as the best player in the world.... The reason for his price rise over time is simply because everyone wants a slice... The reason that he's not fallen during his injury layoff is because people see no need to panic sell... The bigger picture is by keeping him they see huge growth potential... By selling him they may miss out on where the Bitcoin of FI can go?

As you say.. It may be false economy? There maybe better value? Nobody expected the rise in value of Mo Salah but then nobody expects Egypt to win the WC and perhaps people expect Neymar to have a big say in that?

I expect a couple of weeks at least of media buzz for Neymar this summer and if he wins the competition or gets more links with Madrid then I only see his price getting pushed up regardless of how well he's actually playing!!!

from what i've heard you can't even scratch your arse online in China!!!!!
