Ive got some wooden spoons i can dig out the drawer

Already got one mate ... mind you, I could then run about the kitchen wi akimbo wooden spoons, like a call of duty dafty.

@Misto

If I win, I'll be hosting a bonfire on the broadhill in Aberdeen, Scotland, fuelled solely by the prizes won on this glorious competition, wearing nothing but my kilt and a 'see you Jimmy' hat.

Any prizes for last place mate? I know my level ... 🤪

@nally93

Great minds think alike mate. I've got a rump on the pan as we speak.

I appreciate you are in this for the long term, and that is commendable. Hopefully in a few years time, we are all sitting top of the index.

@nally93

Ok, I'll keep this brief as you clearly get offended if anyone disagrees with you.

Greenwood, Chong and Gomes have never played a PB eligible game for Man Utd. They have never played against adults. I'd go as far as to say that most people that have invested in these three have never actually watched an entire game involving them ...

VJ is currently playing PB eligible games. I have watched him several times this season and believe in his potential to be both a world class footballer and a PB contender in the future. Is he worth 11 quid? Absolutely not. Luckily, I bought in around the £5 mark.

As for your comment about English being the 'best nationality for potential MB'. Well that's just nonsense. The best MB scorers in the history of the index, Pogba, Salah, Neymar, etc etc don't appear to have any caps for England.

Who you talking about? Luke Shaw ...🤣

Just realised, that wasn't very brief.

@NewUser165961

I agree with that you are saying. Here is my take on it, and the two reasons why everybody sells.

1. They think everybody else is going to sell, and try to beat the rush. Once one user sells, the next person panics and sells, which starts the price avalanche. See Kimmich for example.

2. It is a massive opportunity for PB in the later rounds of the champions league. I can't recall the specifics but from the quarter final onwards, they are at least double PB days, with only a handful of teams playing. This suits a player like Griezmann for example, who thrives in knockout football and is far more likely to win PB on these days than the usual Saturday with 30+ games taking place.

The players still in European competition will rise, the players knocked out, will suffer as a result.

@nally93 said in V. Junior doing my nut in!!!:

He's one of the riskiest holds on the index,

He is a starter for Real Madrid, he is already adored by the crowd and is 18 years old. Give the kid a break. If he was at Man Utd, he would be 15 quid easy.

If you want a risky hold, go throw money on Greenwood, Chong and Gomes. Three players that probably wont even play a PB eligible game for another season at least. Yet are priced around the same level as world class footballers and proven PB/MB scorers.

As for the original poster. Show some patience. You bought in at the wrong time, when he was massively overpriced.

He has 2 El Classicos coming up in the next few weeks and I fully expect him to start them both.

@Allams-Out said in MESSI- FI Magician 🧙🏻‍♂️✨:

What are the chances of the two best ever players playing in the same era, which also happens to be when the people bestowing then this title get to watch them week in week out.

Give me Maradona, Best and Garrincha any day.

Interestingly, this is exactly the same point I made earlier, in favour of Messi/Ronaldo.

The fact that we get to watch them week in/week out and scrutinise every part of their lives, both on and off the pitch is what separates the current generation from the past masters.

The irony being that the three examples you provided are footballers who battled addiction. They all struggled to handle the trappings of fame and pressures of life.

Best (died at 59) and Garrincha (dead at 49) were both alcoholics and Maradona is a little coke fuelled bellend whose death has only been delayed by the marvel of modern medicine.

Messi farted in a lift once. ... that's as controversial as it got for little lionel.

Ahhh, The wonders of nostalgia. The world looks pretty rosy with these glasses on ... 😎

@Misto said in Daily Game Chat Thread 18/2/19:

@johnboywalker even if they get a game their already priced like first 11 starters.

When you see some of the players they are priced higher than already, its ludicrous, and they haven't even taken a shower with the first team yet 🤣

Most traders cant seem to sit on an investment for more than 3 days at the moment, good luck with waiting 3 years on these kids.

@Allams-Out said in Daily Game Chat Thread 18/2/19:

@johnboywalker what's Danny Devito doing in the front row.

Hahaha you wont believe this, but I was just looking for a pic of him ...

Great shout!!

Doubt its gonna fit you chubbs ...
