@Vespasian32 said in Nicolas Pepe to premier league:

ive sold at their first peak and can avoid all the drama of the ups and downs. It does leave me a bit shorthanded in my port tho!

Glad I'm not the only one taking this sort of approach. Had started to think I was being abit hasty by jumping out "early". I got rid of my AWB and Daniel James holdings at well over 100% ROI and also made a tidy profit on my Ben Chilwells when the rumours were at their height. It's not all been perfect timing though, sold my Longstaff's off the back of his recent rise from 75pps to £1.05ps, only to see him jump as high as £1.25 the very next morning with the Man Utd rumours 🤦‍♂️

Holding my Maguire's and Zaha's as I expect these stories to rumble on for a while.

Like you, I feel abit light atm, but have withdrawn the above mentioned profits as my first phase of de-risking, with the initial deposits for these players now waiting in my FI balance ready to re-invest.

Are you having trouble finding the right player(s) to jump onto atm, or is that just me?

@Andy-M Perhaps it was just coincidental timing then. He maybe always had the plan to lump 20k+ on Rashford and this morning was that morning.

OR, the listing of the story from a second source made him make his move. Story came out on TalkSport website at just after 11am, almost 4am on The Mirror website - according to FI timings.

Who knows?! Can't say I mind either way though. He's my largest hold in terms of £££

He took Rashford from £3.60 to £3.69 all on his own @Andy-M. Fresh from the TalkSport article coming out about contract talks being put on hold by him until he sees how OGS rebuilds.

@Dan-The-Man said in Here we go again - market manipulation?:

@Vespasian32

Have any of the reclassifieds increased in price?

I can tell you the one I hold that went up is Milot Rashica. 82p yesterday, 95p now.

Could also be a touch of panic setting in. Users log in, see Kimmich and Hazard plummeting and being to start selling off other big boys.

Think I'll log out and come back tomorrow.

@NewUser49569 said in FI is a Joke. Luca Jovic to Real Madrid.:

Made more money on Jovic scoring against Chelsea than I have done on having 75 shares in him for over a year. Its a joke mate, if you work for talk sport you could be a millionaire using this site. If you don't then it's just random punting.

You've created a thread moaning about FI and praising Bet365 for 75 shares?!

He's dropped 17p today according to the "£ Decrease" list. 22p if you base all this from his 24-hour high of £2.60 to his lowest at £2.38. At worst you've lost £16.50.

Quick, someone create a GoFundMe for this user!

Only one I own is Milot Rashica. Lovely rise in him this morning after his reclassification. Softens the blow of selling my Longstaff holding yesterday before the rise today off the back of the Utd rumours. (BS rumours imho but that's another topic)

I was definitely going to be adding Kimmich to my portfolio over the summer though ahead of next season. Think I'll hold off now and see how the lands lies after the new season starts.

@Dan-The-Man Personally, I'd pick TAA over KW at RB. Probably Gomez over Stones too, assuming he's fit to start (which he should be in 2+ weeks time). But other than those two I can't really argue with you. Rashford in-place of Kane as the obvious choice upfront if the Captain isn't fit.

Just a thought, as I honestly can't remember how the price of CHO reacted, but now that the initial drop seems to have finished do we expect another drop of sorts when the actual injury and anticipated recovery period is officially announced from Chelski?

Having been reading this thread for a while now over the course of a few days the first thing I have to say is y'all need to chill out and show each other some respect. There any many users here with many different players in their portfolios bought at different times for different prices for different reasons. Just because User A thinks selling Player A for Price A is a good idea, doesn't mean that fits with User B's strategy. It's great that such a lengthy thread is on-going, but let's not behave like children in the playground please. I'm here to make money, talk football and occasionally have some banter. There are a few in here who have crossed the line in my personal opinion.

@Dan-The-Man and @Ericali I have no complaints with your theories and it's great to see people using evidence and maths to back-up their opinions. Your tactic is your tactic and it's clearly worked out well for you both - especially where Kane is concerned Dan. I think anyone who DOESN'T have Kane in their portfolio is missing a trick personally, but each to their own (I even said so in this comment here dated 12th April https://forums.footballindex.co.uk/topic/7341/kane/52 )

Personally, I hold 5 times as many Kane as I do Pogba. I'm 91pps up on Pogba in cap-app alone, and 83pps up on Kane in cap-app alone. Seeing as though pretty much every transfer market/window in the world other than ours doesn't open for another 2 weeks, I won't be selling Pogba just yet. I do have an exit strategy in place though 👍
