Not sure I follow this train of thought.

Kompany yesterday scored what in all probability the deciding goal in the best premier league two way nip and tuck title race we have had for years. Add in it was an absolute belter and there was no other premier league games and yet still did not win MB.

I personally think very few players outside the usual candidates will win MB next season so thinking that cheap players will have extra value next year is looking through rose tinted glasses!

The top players will continue to harvest the majority of MB so it is definitely not a game changer.

Ronaldo Vieira 47p
Colin Dagba 56p
Patson Daka 36p
Timothy Castagne 36p

Take your pick

Did you definitely opt in?

If Dagba, scores well tonight he could jump 30p so have just bought another 500 - if he does not score well he still will be at the most dominant team for PB across all 5 leagues so offering huge upside over the coming year.

Was very highly rated at Leeds before going to Italy, my understanding is that he should be much more a regular next season and that they are happy with his development so far this year. I have 1000 and will be doubling that tomorrow :)

I have made little or no posts over the last few weeks due to the fact that as more money flows into the index and individual traders have bigger and more valuable portfolios feelings become stronger and opinion's become more opinionated. When I first starting using the forum it had a culture of playful banter, helping new traders and giving informed advice, unfortunately now it seems that it is being used to selfishly promote several individuals profit margins.

Dan the Man - I do not doubt that you believe Pulisic to be a good buy and Pogba not to be. However I feel you have laboured the point far too much and the Cynic in me would suggest that for every person convinced to sell Pogba will reinvest in players so if you have a large portfolio that maybe does not have Pogba/Neymar you should see your portfolio increase.

Andy M - You do seem easily baited and I also note you buy players in bulk so your protracted defence of Pogba will help hold up his price.

However by both of you going on and on and on and on and on is just boring and negative never mind filling up my forum inbox so please agree to disagree.

As for my opinion I currently have 600 Pogba purchased at an average price of £3.33 and have earned £631.35 in dividends yet I believe you both have a point. Pogba is expensive yes and by gambling on lower priced players you may make substantially more money, however if you had bought Pogba at any point since the launch of FI up until the share split you would be showing profit, earning regular dividends with a very good chance of more profit and more dividends over the next few years.

Anyway lets try not to get personal and surly making your point just once or twice per thread is enough, lets try to keep the forum's culture as it would be awful if the hard work of Misto and Advincula is wasted.

Would be helpful if you could correctly spell your Employers name!

Would I also be correct in thinking that if you use dividends to buy new players that will also increase your net buys so in effect you get 10% then 5% for just reinvesting your dividends

I personally think 900 to 1p will work in the longer term. Currently everyone is thinking in terms of what it used to be pre share split. However prior to the share split nobody was referring back to the previous share split as that was just history! Within a few months as new joiners emerge this current share split will also be history and the platform will be what it is. If in future a new share split is required then that will be based around FI’s needs at that time.

In addition we are getting closer and closer to where the 3 year rule will impact more traders which will also bring a different dynamic to the index and when order books come in there will be the ability for much more active trading to happen where the better traders will be able to use knowledge and ability to buy/sell players at differing prices.

The index is still really in its infancy and will probably see many more subtle changes before we reach the point where it is mainstream and plateau’s.
