After some decent signs of the new order books in practice and some decent flashes of green can we now draw a line under all the negativity on here and get back to talking about players, football and bargains! I’m not saying not to be constructive If issues need to be raised but this forum has taken a huge nose dive Since the days of when I joined so would be great to get back to some decent topics of discussion about Players. It always used to be a decent part of the platform- giving each other tips and following up with research. Half the topics now are a bore fest to be blunt.
Now we got some momentum let’s give the new punters something to get involved in and keep them engaged.
Who knows we might even tempt some of the old boys back...

There’s a much bigger picture here - it’s not terrible, it’s baby steps at this stage - we’re still in a pandemic with lots of people struggling. Never been a more important time to consolidate. It would be irresponsible for FI to be throwing money away in this climate - slowly get sentiment back on track and tred water if need be for the time being - the new change can easily be ramped up if required... when global sentiment returns then FI can follow suit And gear up to euros from a much more stable position

We had a questionnaire recently regarding ME - I have to admit I’m on the fence still with it, I think the impact it’s had on instant sell/lower end of market has been hugely detrimental to the product...lots of people were screaming for order books but now we have something comparable I can’t help feeling the simplicity of how it was before was better/more enjoyable...as the saying good ‘if it ain’t broke...’ - does anyone else share this view, essentially that FI was a generally better product before ME was introduced?

Time to club together now, leave the trolls behind. There’s a definite wave of positivity back - whether it’s justified or not only time will tell. But this forum used to be really enjoyable. With FI edging back to its roots let’s try and do the same - we don’t need to hear how the good old days were so much better or how Removing IPDs Has damaged the platform. Let’s play the game infront if us. I want to read about the next star coming out the Ajax academy (they will have their day again) - or the next gem going ‘under the radar’ - let’s honestly get back to talking about football -
I’ve read enough posts stating how awful the platform is and enough posts how FI have screwed us - it’s done now, we’ve had our moan. Im down a huge amount also but I’m looking forward to watching FI evolve from here - the minimum I want to do is give it a chance!

1. Don’t give trolls the attention - if you see a post just ignore it - don’t give them any satisfaction
2. Give the product a chance to grow from where it is today
3. Put your current losses to the side and concentrate on how you might be able to recoup some back
4. Find the positives - it’s the easiest thing in the world to be negative
5. Stop living in past

Let’s do our bit and give new users something encouraging to read - at the minute there are a lot of people on here who are as guilty as FI as being part of the problem

If FI started today and we knew nothing about it we would all think it was an amazing product...coz it is.

Give it a chance to establish itself again - everything comes round again. Let’s enjoy the product for what it is and more importantly not give the trolls the opportunity to destroy our enjoyment...ignore them.

@Valhalla

You’re not on your own... as always it’s only the ‘loudest commenting....a lot of us are bored of reading the same comments ... my personal view is I’m happy IPD’s have gone - I think they dictated the mentality way too much. But that’s just my opinion and I’m not gonna spend time backing it up

@NewUser469373

In @Ericali defense - this attitude is probably more to do with the repetitive responses to the same question. The new user is unaware the question has been asked before but if they completed a search of the forum they would hopefully Find the reassuring answers they require, possibly some even from @Ericali himself. I don’t disagree with his more direct approach, there’s only so many times one can reassure before it becomes draining and the ‘man up’ approach takes over

you are in danger of creating a bad name for yourself...

@Ddr said in FI are listening again.:

irca 100

are we talking @Advinculas-Index @Black-Wolf @MickTurbo @Johnnyboywalker etc etc... miss these guys and others not mentioned and havent seen them post so i guess they were driven away? massive shame and wish they'd stuck it out as they benefited everyone at some point

@johnboywalker

dont think you can be anymore to the point than that. ive stopped coming on the forum because of the negative comments, its sooooo boring sifting through them all to find something worthwhile. everytime i come back on the forum i feel like i'm just wasting my time.
if all you can do is see the negatives then its obvious to me that you should leave. why are you here if its so awful??

it just drags the whole forum down -

YOU DONT ALWAYS HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING...

@RedknappsEyelids
in my opinion this is completely inaccurate. who you bought 12 months ago at the existing terms is totally different to that player now at the current terms. you wouldve evaluated buying that player at the time and amde a judgement on whether it is a good buy - you cant predict that in the future that the goal posts were going to change... and you cant apply your theory of a 34 year old hungarian player as there are some genuinly decent holds which have been affected

Think it would do everyone a favour to just leave these questions unanswered - I’ve no doubt now there a serious agenda here, don’t give them the satisfaction of responding! It’s fairly relentless but if we don’t give them the platform or the reaction these attention seeking oddballs want them they will soon get bored. It’s just really really sad, what a waste of time...the life of a troll 👍

quite like this actually - maybe they should make it that you can only select players you own - would encourage people to buy - even if just for some light fun

Atkeast people will keep hold of players with no reason To refresh after 30days which was a big factor in prices just cancelling each other out causing players not to rise

@MUFC
Can’t do any harm 👍
I always send ideas fir what it’s worth

@o_O

Index Credit would be a great solution - it keeps the money in the index and gives everyone an 'out'

@MUFC

Did u ever submit this idea out of interest?

@o_O
Are you feeling ok? I’m worried 😂👍

Like the idea but i still dont think it solves the issue of making every player on the index relevant (or atleast a high percentage) - i think if they were able to do this it would drag everyone up with it from the bottom - i can only see that a separate PB competition for players outside the top 200 would work - not at the same values as the top 200 (maybe half) - that way the top 200 would keep its value and the rest of the players on the index should all get an increase in value
