Hello all, how are you doing? How has trading been going? This week is the week! There is so much football heading our way. Exciting times! Looking a bit further ahead Ligue 1 gets going again at the end of August. I think it's the perfect time to start thinking about who you might want to be dabbling in from a PB perspective in Lige 1. That's why I have just dropped this blog post below. Have a read and let me know what you think!

Hello all, how are you doing? What did you think of Adam Cole's update last night? For me the key takeaway was that it provided enhanced certainty as to the future of the platform. Of course, not all questions were answered but I think the key ones were. Exciting times!

Anyway, with the Ligue 1 season creeping closer to starting and the current seasons winding down I thought it would be a good time to drop a new version of the most popular posts on my blog. The ROI Hunting series. In this one I talk about a few French players I think can make you 50% ROI by this time next year....Let me know what you think!

Hello all, how goes? Hope trading has been better for you all these last two weeks. Amazing what a smidge of positivity can do! Even if it is based on a relatively thin 'update' from FI Towers! Anyway, here is my Football Index GW7 preview for Ligue 1. I take a look at the upcoming games and pick out fixtures and players to focus on plus I bring back a weekly look at the French Portfolio's stats and figures for the voyeurs amongst you!!

Legends, it has been a while! I must admit that my attention had turned away from the forum recently after it went offline for a bit. However, I see it is now back up and running and so I will begin dropping my blog posts here again. And, as with every week here is my latest Ligue 1 Preview. I look at the week just gone, the week ahead, offer some insight and look more broadly at French footballers playing across the globe. Come take a look!

Hi guys, how are you? I have taken a break in my other scribblings to drop the below post. It is my approach to the Paul Pogba situation. I thought it might be useful for others to see how I have assessed it from my own position. The key point, make your own assessment taking on board as much information as possible. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Morning Guys

Single game day today. Liverpool players will be the biggest PB threats but there is also value out there. Exploiting these single and double days can be quite profitable as your chances of winning are amplified. For me Marseille are the value. Clearly Florian Thauvin should be the main PB threat but Maxime Lopez, Boubacar Kamara and Duje Caleta-Car are the value picks. Don't sleep on Balotelli for some IPD either!

Here's a previous blog post of mine looking at some PB Dark Horses from my French Challenge Portfolio:

Any tips, questions or comments then ket me know!

Thanks

Hello all, how are you doing? How has trading been? Did anyone benefit from the big rises over the last few days? Exciting times.

Last year, in September, I put out two blog posts tipping some players I thought would make you either 50% or 100% ROI. Here I take a look at the guys I predicted would make 50% and see how I did....a mixed bag as you might expect!!

Hello all. How are things? With Ligue 1 cancelled and the final league table all but confirmed I thought it would be a good idea to publish a short post on my thoughts around what the future may hold and who may or may not have benefitted from a Football Index perspective. Come take a look!

Hello all, How are you doing? I, as I am sure many of you are, am planning deep into 2020 at the moment. Here is a blog post I have just dropped looking at a selection of French players that have piqued my interest for 2020 for various reasons. Out of form, injured, big transfer ahead.....Paul Pogba. they're all in here. Come and take a look!

Hey all. How's it going? Pumping is the focus at the moment on the Index forums, chats and Twitter. I don't mind a cheeky pump as long as it is well intentioned. With that in mind, here are my top tips for French players I see making 50% ROI or more in the short, medium or long term. Come and take a look and let me know what you think!!!!

Hello all, how are you doing? A bit of a stagnant week on the Index this week. The mechanics are still bust and liquidity remains the single largest issue. Let's hope that FI fill us in on actual real life changes they will be implementing soon today or tomorrow. Aside from that, the football marches on. Game week 9 is up in Ligue 1 and so here is my latest preview. A look back at last week domestically in and Europe. A new PB Power Rankings, extra youth focus and the usual weekly peek under the French Portfolio's bonnet. Let me know what you think!
https://fifrenchtalent.com/2020/10/29/ligue-1-weekly-preview-game-week-9/

Hello all! How are you? Hope trading has been good for you this European week. I abso-bloody-lutely love these weeks. They are Football Index gold. Anyway, here is my latest preview for Game Week 8 in Ligue 1. All the usual PB, transfer and youth focus plus the weekly look at the French Portfolio weekly finances too!

@jonathan-rolfe Hey bud. I think he has a half decent chance of going. It will depend I think on how others perform or their fitness. He was selected recently for a squad. So never, say never!

Legends, I hope you are all doing well. I also hope you are all as glad as I am that the international break is over. However, if you are a sucker for punishment then why not take a look at my assessment of France's most recent games and the players who boosted and nerfed their Euro 2020 chances.
