Seen a lot on the forum of people worried about a drop tomorrow.

There are a few reasons I don't believe it will happen.

After a bonus period historically there has never been a big drop.

This is because people become attached to their investments that have made decent money.

Enough people put their bonus in straight away to offset anyone profit taking.

This ^ should be especially relevant tomorrow with the part 2 bonus starting and big traders needing to put in 40k to get the 2k bonus

If you are profit taking after this window let it be noted that you do not need to sell up straight away unless you instantly need the money. The best strategy might be to wait for the second wave of investment then sell up.
If there are certain players who drop tomorrow then it is likely that this will just be people putting them all in the sell queue. I would advise not panicking and hitting the Instant sell button.
The big investors may actually wait to see if there is a drop after tomorrow and then they will invest after that dip is over.

In that case it might be better to slowly incrementally add them to market over days as to not help cause a panic. This would benefit you and the market which you all hold a big stake in even if you are withdrawing.

In conclusion remember that patience is key and with the fact that Fi have publicly and clearly stated they are tripling their market budget then I think we will have a lot of new users coming in soon so there is no need to panic if there is a drop.

Also don't take my word as gospel, make you're own evaluations. I don't wanna tell anyone what to do with their own money but if I was selling up, this is what I would do. I'm reinvesting tho for sure.

Also remember to opt in. Not too late.

That thread may have wondered over the line, lesson learnt, won't happen again, it's one in a million... literally a million. This place is rammed and we're doing our best.

And our best has been to help thousands of new users coming over from football indexs rubbish onboarding process having no idea how it works. Honestly the amount of work we do for you is obscene. And you can't have a thread admonishing us for some poor jokes if your not gonna praise us for anything else.

You either care about what goes on in here or you don't.

I think you should care. This is the official football index forum after all and is where most new users come and should come. Compared to twitter we are singing choirboys.
The place for people to learn about about the index is on here not on the 280 character pump zone that is twitter. Threads go on for thousands of comments instead of 5 before someone blocks someone with opposing views.
The insults are a lot milder on here and the analysis is much better yet we get nothing. In fact we get less than nothing one of the people with the most reputation gets kicked off the forum.

When I say I want praise I don't mean a pat on the back I mean I'd like it in the form of forum upgrades so you can make the job we do for you easier for us.

So as you've pinned this thread we may as well make it as important as the last pinned one the forum made for you.

These are the upgrades I would like.

• Some users to have modding powers.

• The ability to run Polls.

• A search system that actually works.

• For football index to make notifications here not just on twitter.

• For you to actually reply...Seriously what's stopping you?

This post is a call to arms. Everyone should post the upgrades they would like we aren't gonna have a better chance than this to get ourselves heard. @kristiang85 @everyone say the upgrades you would like.

I would've left Fi if it wasn't for the forum tbh. It's a great place. But it's also such garbage. Please can you make it better... or at least say you have plans too. False hope is better than no hope. Any communication would be nice tbh @DANFI @administrators or we'll have to get the ironing boards out again until you respond.

Edit*

• The ability to have group chats.

• Be able to put in youtube videos and gifs.

• For tags to be made compulsory so everyone just started using them.

Ever wanted to know what a players Pb scores were? How many divs he’s won in the past year? How much his IPD yield could be? How many games he’s played? When he’s coming back from injury?

Well step right this way children all the answers to your questions can be answered easily if you own a data membership to somewhere like Indexgain a data site for Fi.

(There's been a few rumblings of interest on the forum recently so thought i'd post a nice breakdown of some of the main features for people thinking about buying.)

Call me crazy but let's just say hypothetically that the season is rapidly approaching and you want to find out the Pb suitability of your port for the upcoming season.

Simply Go to the player screener and it has all the information you need.

Here you can see the stats of a random selection of players. Stats like Pb averages, gametime, some of the main pb scoring factors, how many times they’ve scored over 175 and even a stat that shows implied yield.

You can set parameters for age, teams, price and the rest which makes it easy to dive into more detail or find the answer to pesky forum questions like who’s the best youth prospect under 40p?
#kaylenHinds

There’s an idea that floats about that data products are only useful for the hardcore users that have plenty of time. This is a completely misguided notion. With tables like this you can quickly compare every single player on the index at the same time. It makes purchases obvious, easy and super quick.

The nerds who want more detail can get their fix also. From the green screen you can easily dive into more detail if you do want to and see individual match scores and more stats and info like price history.

(Hmm Alonso seems a bargain^)[subliminal messaging]

Or if you’re more into IPD there is a table specifically for that.

Again this saves more time than jan oblak saves shots and means you don’t have to do any tricky calculations or google searches because it’s all right here.

If you were to combine this with the match difficulty report you can see who looks like they have an easy run of fixtures coming up. Eg arsenal.

Not that arsenal do well against easy opposition but that’s for another thread.

And there are countless other features online at indexgain from lists of penalty takers to price tracking graphs to form analysis and lists of currently injured players and estimated return dates and lists of transfer rumors and their relative strength.

Link is here https://indexgain.co.uk/buzzpro/ if you wanna learn about more of the features and to see how you can make better quicker, more informed and all round better purchases.

Features don’t stop there tho.

[This post is quickly becoming longer than expected🙄]

Once you have made some sweet buys u can use their other features to track your new and improved portfolio.
If you download slack a free online forum and home notification hub thingymajig. You can get daily updates on how your port is doing.
Simply add your players and watch them rise.

Port tracking made easy. No more excel and no more watchlists (which means you have more time to watch as much porn as you want)

You can also setup notifications so when a player you are watching has a quick shift in price or has an article link him with a transfer you will be notified and can react quicker than anyone else.

No need to watch Montpellier vs Some other farmers to learn if 'the next big thing' (that you and everyone else knows is shit) scores or gets injured cause you’ll get notified as soon as the massive shift in price begins. and you can hop on.

e.g.
Just the other day I was about to leave the house to get my bus and got shot a notification that Javier Hernandez’s price was moving.

I pumped my spare cash in and ended up getting an uber home instead of bus. It’s the small things that matter.

Slack is also home to a thriving community with detailed Fi discussions, the ability to run polls! and almost as good bant as the forum.

With a data product like IG you are actually able to ‘do your own research’.

There is something for everyone here... from stuff for the people who want to perfectly predict pb yields @MickTurbo to stuff for IPD wheeler dealers @Tom77 and even stuff for the people who don't really don't really give a fuck about divs and just want Cap app @Vespasian32 , stuff for the people who want/need to have better pumps @Zola25 and stuff for people who need to stop getting caught out by pumps @Misto #rookie and a thing for people who want to get addicted to another forum @Lualua.

React the fastest, predict the furthest ahead. Never have to google player stats again lol

Less than 1% of the Fi market currently have a data product. Honestly, that 1% have a massive advantage. I have doubled my average monthly profits since joining. It’s only £8.49 a month. I would think if you have a portfolio over £350 its so worth it. There are so many easy ways to make that subscription fee back.

Playing Fi without a data product is like gambling without being given odds.

use the code FIG2020 to get 50% off the 1st month.

To anyone listing players it's not a great idea for one the queue's are probably longer than normal as not many people are investing at the moment. Listing will only drop prices and ward off potential investors and in fact may cause a few numpties to IS which is the last thing you want. Just sit tight. trust your investments and trust the market. Listing probably won't do you any good.
That is all. Now lets all go root for barca to thrash Liverpool.

As a trader who found the forum and the index while in hospital i can honestly say its been a ray of light in my life.
The point of the forum?
The forum is a great place for people to seek and share help (I can't tell you how much money this site has saved and made me. I almost put all my money in idrissa gueye the first week 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
Its a place for people to have a good feisty fun funny debate,
It's a place to embolden belief in the platform in times of uncertainty,
A place where years of knowledge and funny trade stories can be shared
Its a place where people can celebrate great trades together
Its a place where people can moan about pogbas new haircut stealing mb again
It's a place where the community can feel involved in the growth of a company they have great belief for and can share that enthusiasm with each other

I think the benefits of the forum are clear and I can't advocate for this place enough. I advise you to go and enjoy it. Sorry to get sentimental but i think this place is pretty great.

The one troll you've mentioned seems like an isolated example that's never happened before.

As for 'pumping' I don't think anyone comes onto the forum saying look over here I have an overvalued player that you should all buy. It's always sharing an asset that is undervalued and helping out people and friends. If you don't wanna read it you don't have too.

As for fearmongering I think its easy to feel that comments are just fearmongering when you hold a player whose being talked down. Our brains are psychologically risk averse and are more scared of potential loss than we are of potential gain so negative comments echo louder than positive ones but you have to remember that most of the time its just people giving their honest opinion, why would anyone not? and that's all you can ask for. And what you really want after all. If bale is a bad investment I'd rather be told, even if it means selling at a loss. At least i learnt that before all the people who don't use the forum.

To sum up i think you should all buy jean phillipe mateta and robert skov both great investments 🤣🤣.

You said in another thread that you've held jovic for a year. You have seen a 400% increase. What are you whining about? This thread is the joke, not Fi.

@NewUser49569 said in Jovic price drops massively when he joins the biggest club in the world?!! wtf:

I found out yesterday that Luca Jovic a player I've had in my portfolio for over a year now has joined Real Madrid.

People explained it you then in that thread. I'm confused as to why you're still surprised 13 days later.

Everyone should talk in percentages for many reasons

• Percentage renders context irrelevant. - Unless you fully tell us about your deposits you bank account and withdrawals saying you are '200 pound up this week' means nothing. You could have 100,000 invested or you could have 10 pound invested.

• Less information needed means posts are easier to read and understand and thus reply too.

• Stops people from being able to make this forum a dickswinging wallet contest.

• More helpful and less daunting to new users.

• Looks more professional.

*No-one has to worry about converting any different currencies

Think that's it.

Mic drop 😂😂

I won't be researching all them but i love that they're in price descending order. Extremely aesthetically pleasing. An upvote for you.

Media buzz
Media will be paid out to top 5 players over summer. 3 2 1 1 1P

The promotion. 1st section has already started so don't sell now.
Basically if you buy 100£ worth of players and then sell 50£ worth of players your net spend will be £50 this net figure will be divided by 10 and that money (£5) will be paid into your account.

The second stint starts on first of may
If you spend £100 again then sell £50 your net spend will again be £50 this time your net spend will be divided by twenty and that amount will be paid into your account so £2.50

So basically in the coming months its all about having a positive net spend. You can get a cash bonus of £1000 in the first stint and £2000 in the second stint. You'd need to have a net spend of £10,000 and then another net spend of £40,000 for the second one.

If you are worried about a massive sell off then don't be. There won't be a big sell off after the first stint as people won't want to damage their net spend bonus for the second one and everyone will be putting in their bonus money. And if you read the message they are having another big marketing push so after the second stint a lot of new users will be coming in and itll be the start of the new season.
So lots of cash for us.

It's better explained here.

Watch the vid. Read the rules. OPT IN. Then get spending.
I reccomend bruno fernandes.

Please at least calculate how much you're losing.
Remember that commission is 2%
The spread is 2% minimum and in the sub £1 pound category there are some outrageous spreads of up to 10%
These spreads will all naturally increase as people sell.

If you were to sell now think about how much you'd be losing. Minimum 5%. That's the whole weeks growth. If you were all to just wait ten days you could just sell to market.

Lingard and andreas aren't gonna be able to hold that position for long is my suspicion.

Whoever is on should just do it
Rotate etc

Thanks for the warning.

I remember there being a bit of buzz about whether tolisso could get back in the team.

To describe my competition i would say I've headed out swinging solely for homeruns and in the process i've missed the ball and accidentally let go of my bat and thrown it out the park.

The inevitable Wilshere crash currently occurring.
Didn't even take an injury.

@Ralph-Wiggum
Indexgain or indexedge will sort you out.

Is everyones price a cycle?

@Tom77 said in United strikers:

@janner73 said in United strikers:

@Tom77 All I'm saying is he is not under-priced based on Utd last season. Look how quickly the market turned on him once the Ole-hyped start came to an end.
Everyone's hyped going into the season but it'll quickly turn on Martial again if he doesn't deliver again.

The drop was when utd got knocked out of Europe and we effectively had nothing to play for and people then piled money into the champions league and europa league players who were left and transfer targets.

He was steadily rising all season and I expect he will again, when you know all the patterns its very easy to predict.
Martial will only drop heavily from a high price this season towards the end of the season (providing he has no chance of Euro’s).
He might have mini dips but overall he has at least 4-5 months of growth in him.
IF Utd get to the latter stages of Europa even better he will be £4 by then.

This man is clever

@Ringers
I think its a good thing you didn't specify which sunday!

@Ringers
I think you got sacked after you said there was IPD value in Jonny evans.
