@Andy the king is dead, long live the king!

Actually Sancho is already KOTI by IS price - 6.90 vs 🐷 🐑 at 6.80

Have faith mate. Patience is key, look at Mane, he sat around 2.50 for months on end, and then boom! Up 20%.

There’s times last season when I thought I made a mistake putting 2knin. In the end I doubled that, and now I’ve lumped in a lotttt more.

Don’t try and chase everything, don’t try and get a massive return on everything. Just buy logical holds and hold, try to avoid looking at it every day, oh and don’t read everyone’s stories of making amazing buys and think fml, people tend to share the good stuff not the bad.

I bet you’re at least 50% up come may.

I thought there was a thread in this already, but sancho is closing in on the stropgba- only 7p in it!

Feel for you with militao- I had him for ages too and he’s just sat around 90p.

You ask about strategy. I researched a bit when I started and found out that the top teams players did better on average than the lower teams, younger players had better cap app, and FB, AM, M, W, SS and S performed best (cb ok sometimes). Also found that prem did slightly better than ll or bl.

So my core holds are made up from Liverpool, Man City, Tottenham; 26/27 or under, positions as above. I then dabble into some other teams and leagues and some youth with about 25% of my stash.

I play for the longer hold than chasing ipds or short term increases. I sell if someone is stagnant over a really long period.

It’s worked pretty well.

Is the flying comment a parrot joke?

Or is 4p up on the day, 1p down on the week seemed flying now? 😂

@Chris-J
Good post, although would be even better if it was the top 25 from 6 months ago, rather than today’s. Becomes a little biased with today’s as clearly those that have grown a lot are new entries into the top 25.

@Stewarty
It’s because of NI laws - basically you can’t have competitions that don’t have a free route to entry. As this needs you to spend £10 they can’t run it in NI.

I’m no lawyer, but that’s my high level understanding of why “excluded NI” is often seen in competitions

I’ve been on here a year, and it shows no signs of slowing at the moment. I’d guess a 5% rise by start of sept. But obviously there are risks on here not found in isas. I’ve recently added another 5k from my isa though!

Big prediction, the footie(whatever it means) going up about 6,000 in a fortnight.
Here’s hoping.

Well it’s up 500 today, so 6k in 16 days doesn’t seem crazy.

119k by sept 1st. I wouldn’t be surprised at all.
