@CBN Headline thinking such as :-

'Abraham showing he can be Chelsea's saviour'

'Foden shows exactly why Pep won't send him out on loan'

'Maddison shines in Italy as £60million transfer race hots up'

'Is Sessegnon the new Bale? Pocchetino thinks so as Spurs circle for Fulham star'

'Harvey Barnes proving his improved Leicester contract was just the beginning'

They aren't catchy headlines, I grant you, but for a few dividends I couldn't care less, lol. Not all have to be transfer related, given recent events.

It'll be interesting to see what sort of Media Buzz is drummed up after the England game(s). Especially if our boys live up to their expectation as one of the tournament favourites and progress to the Semis or even the final (I know, I know - England as one of the favourites doesn't bode well, lol)

As far as I can see only Ceballos has pulled in some MB points, which is surprising given Chiesa's brace. IF Maddison, Barnes, Foden, Abraham or even Calvert-Lewin had scored that goal, or a brace like Chiesa, I'd expect our journalists to be raving about them.

Maybe I'm going to be proven wrong, but with 5 media spots up for grabs and 10 of the 16 days thus far requiring a score of just 300 or so to bring home dividends (Maguire got 5th last night with just 180) I think there are U-21 payouts to be had soon.

Congratulations @Keegans-Bluff on the win. Truth be told both finalists and both of the 3rd and 4th placed runners deserve some major kudos. Great performances all-round really 👍

Absolutely fantastic work by @Advinculas-Index throughout. Haven't been commenting anywhere near as regularly after my Q/F exit, but I have looked at this thread almost everyday since it began. Top work bud, and thank you.

A very well deserved tip of the cap to @Misto too for donating the prizes. It's very generous of you sir.

Yeah, I have invested interest in this game @johnboywalker.

Zaniolo and Oyarzabal in the starting 11's, with Cutrone and Orsolini on the Italian bench.

That's interesting about Neymar's price, @Keegans-Bluff

£20.83 / 3 (SS) = £6.94333333

He's trading as of right now at £6.92.

All the "doom and gloom" about Pogba and Neymar dropping shows that it's actually more of a correction following their HUGE rises up to and immediately after the SS. Certainly in Neymar's case anyway - and that's with the rape allegations hanging over his head, and yet another injury.

My holdings that will be taking part in the U21 Euros are Gibbs-White, Maddison, Barnes, Skov, Cutrone, Orsolini, Oyarzabal and Bamba.

However, the one I want to highlight ala Ericali is Nicolo Zaniolo. Wasn't listed in the Italian U21 preliminary squad but has been named in their squad for the tournament.

Nicolo Zaniolo - Italy
Age - 19
Club - Roma
Current Price - £1.58

2018/19 season for Roma he started 20 games and came off the bench a further 7 times in Serie A, with 4 goals and 2 assists. He also started 4 of Roma's Champions League games and came off the bench 3 more times, scoring 2 goals.

He has also already represented the Italian senior side twice.

Beyond the Euros, Roma didn't make the Champions League places in Serie A this season, but managed a 6th placed finish - meaning Europa League football for 2019/20.

He has also been linked with Spurs on more than one occasion.

If CHO gets given more consistent opportunities to play next season by whomever is the Chelski manager, plays well during these games and gets into Southgate's squad for Euro 2020 then he's £5 before that tournament kicks off, easy.

Otherwise, and this all depends on how he heals from what can be a career threatening injury, he's rather bloody expensive for someone who was basically a Europa League back-up last season (Yes, he's young, English and full of promise I get that - but for every Raheem Sterling who makes the grade there are more examples of Ravel Morrison, Jermaine Pennant, Francis Jeffers, Jordan Ibe and Dominic Solanke types of players)

I hold a small amount in the hope that my first paragraph is correct, not my second one.

Just caught up on this whole thread.

Gutted for you @Andy-M. You've been a constant poster (apart from maybe a 12 hour break once when you deleted your forum account, lol) ever since I joined in January and are one of maybe a dozen or so users who's posts are usually sound and based on a decent thought process, rather than just pump-and-dump type shite. It's sad that things have gone this way.

I hope there is a way back for you in the future. Clearly FI is still growing (and learning) and if their 300% increase in advertising revenue is anything to go by then surely moving into other countries is just a matter of time, so I'll keep an eye out for your eventual return bud.

Take care Andy and thanks for your help here on the forums over the last 5 months.

This was my assumption too @Dan-The-Man, but didn't want to post "Nope, you're wrong" when I wasn't 100% sure myself. Thanks for replying.

Me and you don't agree on players all the time (I still hold Pogba and do not hold Pulisic) but on Maguire we do agree, at present.

@Dan-The-Man said in SELL YOUR NEYMAR:

• He has two high profile, single game matches that are PB eligible

Is this true? I keep seeing conflicting info on The Nations League. Some say they're PB and IPD eligible, some say just IPD.

FYI I hold a few Maguire and have done for a while (got him at 0.96p) so he's well out of the IPD window for me. However, with this being Summer Media Madness time and he's in the middle of a pull of war between Utd and Citeh I will keep my holding for a while yet so the answer to my question makes little difference to my strategy, I'm just after some clarification.
