I was on the night shift last night and had a chance to check my port on my mobile at around 23:15 - WOW!

The more I refreshed the deeper into the red my higher end players were dropping. The first thing I did was use my work computer to look at the forum. I am not allowed to log in as a user but I could view it.

I checked my lower end players and there was not much movement there so this got me thinking that maybe all is not bad after all.

I flicked through a few threads and in one @Black-Wolf and @Dan-The-Man were discussing we may not see an opportunity like this again which put me at ease to look for bargains.

For me @Black-Wolf has been a pillar of good advice during the period since the recent OB change

Although I am not new out the box any more I rely a lot on the guidance and opinions of the forum family.

I don't have big savings but managed to deposit a bit and topped up on Kane who at one point was selling at £3.60!!!! and added to a lot of other long term holds.

It is hard to hold your nerve when events like last night occur. Thanks to all who helped me not panic......

Not a very helpful post in my opinion

@Valhalla I make you right there Valhalla. If you get in to a bun fight on this forum you can easily remove yourself. Losing a willy measuring contest isn't being bullied, even if you have to eat humble pie.

Whilst a lot of comments on this forum recently have been silly, I'm not sure they are bullying, just immature.

When you have keyboard warriors goading an overweight teenager on facebook making their lives a misery because they don't fit in is , in my opinion bullying - just one example of many.

But on this forum my advice would be don't bite and don't feed the trolls.

You are not being bullied in the sense that your private life, way you look, dress etc is used to humiliate you and saying you are being bullied, in my opinion, makes a mockery of the real victims of online bullying, or any other bullying.

I'm not a #bekind snowflake, but Kids are contemplating suicide due to online bullying. Just giving a bit of perspective.

For me it is bed time. Have bought and sold a lot today to try and second guess what will happen tomorrow.

I have removed all in sell queue and cancelled all bids.

I go to bed now with all my players in the green, even Griezmann, so hopefully our ports can survive the anticipated drop and then fly up again.

good luck all

It is the hybrid of gambling and investing that makes it so bloody brilliant, annoying, exhilarating and unique all in one.

Better times ahead me thinks........

@Dalian-Smith said in Your Favourite FI Forum Poster. Your Nominations Here:

Which poster do you value the most? Who talks the most sense? Maybe someone out there has made you some decent money. Or maybe just a calming influence on the madness of the forum? A chance to pat on the back folk who you appreciate being around these parts. Pick 3 or less posters from the forum either here or DM me. Those who get 5 nominations or more will be entered into a poll to determine who's really making an impression on the forum out there.

For me there are so many of you out there, including you Dalian, with your polls. @Splurger_Dan, @Advinculas-Index , @Martyn-B, and many, many more.

My top 3, after 4 pints and a bottle of red wine (getting my disclaimer in) and not necessary in this order are:

1, @johnboywalker Promotes the platform, welcomes new traders and has the best interests of our hard earned cash at his heart.

2. @Ericali Just for his Ighalo thingy, man has a nerve of steel and looks as though he helped make people a lot of cash.

3. @MickTurbo Holds Kane and Griezmann like I do and provides sound knowledge constantly to the forum.

@johnboywalker Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!!

And War horses and wolves.......

And Turbos, Erics and bmcg's and obviously Walkers

Useless lump has failed to score in August again......

From a German point of view this could be the Wurst poll. I'll get my coat, apologies for a dad joke.

How about vote for 2 players you would kick off the platform instead. A reverse IPO

1. Jhon Cordoba
2. Jhon Cordoba

@Tikka-Mo-Salah Unless you have some old Kane's bought cheaper than his current sell price who don't qualify for 30 day IPD's?

@trig Buy a few of cheapest keeper who kept a clean sheet!!

With Gnabry on Friday, Ganago yesterday, and even Jhon Cordoba have earned around £200 over the weekend.

Big love to you all!!!

@Erased-Citizen My best day for divs by far as well!!

Clean sheets galore, goals and assists. Star man, top keeper.

I doubt this will be repeated so gonna enjoy it.

I mopped up a load of Son and Kane on Brown Sunday. I presume assists are X5 IPD's?

Navas as well with a clean sheet.

Still have so many more games to go with Adil and Savinier amongst others in the port.

Champagne in the Kipper house tomorrow.....

@howsthebacon I thought game winning goal to. Thanks

Stupid question.....What does GWG stand for?

@johnboywalker Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!!

And War horses and wolves.......

And Turbos, Erics and bmcg's and obviously Walkers
