It s a difficult call for FI, one that needs to keep all investors happy.
One idea would maybe expand the MB to three categories def-mid-striker and pay three places for each. 3p-2p-1p. giving 9 players per day dividends equalling 18p which matches the current payouts.

I'm not sure what ppl expect from FI. If a bank offered the possibility of a 30% increase on there money they'd be queuing round the block. They've introduced two new concepts TOTM and a goalie category which many ppl have been calling out for and increased PB to an acceptable level. I'd rather see FI continue to grow with sound financial prudence than over stretch themselves. I voted 9/10.

Just took a snap shot from todays Media list and if this was end of day the payouts for this this idea would be.

Def; 1st K Trippier 2nd S Umtiti 3rd D Dalot
Mid 1st B Fernandes. 2nd N Matic. 3rd P Pogba
Stk 1stC Ronaldo 2nd S Mane 3rd T Werner

The 9 places would be made up of 5 PL players and 2 from La Liga 1 Bundesliga and 1 Serie A
It would I think give as all a bit more interest in these difficult times

Whilst nobody likes to see their port dropping, everybody likes a bargain. So its a catch 22 situation. One is causing the other.

I set my port up for MB/PB several months ago and its value has been on a downward spiral ever since. There are times I think "shall I sell" but then I remember why I bought them. I know the market will always have dips so now is the time to hold firm, ride it out and reap the rewards.

So keep the faith, don"t sell cheap and all will come to those who held firm.

A slightly cheaper option than T Hazard and ticks all the boxes is Goretzka at £1.15 giving you 260 futures and he’s in the German squad.

I’ve not really bothered with the forum since the better posters left so would be delighted to join in with some decent thoughts and views. Thanks

Great post and congratulations on sticking with it. Great incite into all the ups and downs of FI. Good luck for future and update us when you’re out of the red.

@Martyn-B That’s a hard one to follow

Great thoughts and presentation.I hope FI take a look at this.
Agree the IPDs deadline should be brought in line to 2pm.
Only other thing I maybe suggest is a 2nd MB place of 1p on match days as its very frustrating sometimes when your player scores 1000 points plus and theres no reward for it.

@Fletch Looking at the other fixtures, this does look a very easy Silver payday. My only concern is Bayern resting players after travelling from their World team win.

The new incentive needs to be easy to understand and workout.

Many times I've had a cheap player score 200+ and receive no reward for it as one of the premium players has aced it. So I would like to propose a new reward scheme for all players who score more than 200 in a game.(not including the dividend winners).

If your player scores 200-225 you win 1p. 226-250 =2p Above 251 =3p

As all the scores are already in place, it wouldn't take FI much to workout.
This would give all players a chance of winning dividends every game.

@Fletch Excellent It’s actually nice to read a well constructed, thoughtful analysis of the current situation. Instead of all the end is nigh stuff.
Roll on 2021 and a brighter future for traders.

Excellent and very helpful. Thank you

Anybody know the reason for the drop in Jan Oblak?

Hi and welcome to FI and the forum.

My first advice to you is read the great thread called All things Football Index pinned to the top of the thread page. The more information you have the easier it is to work out how FI works. Some of the biggest mistakes made when starting out is over trading, lack of patience and understanding what makes a player go up and down. My advice would be to buy a single share in a few players and watch how they perform.
There are many ways to make money you just have to find out what your most comfortable with.
So good luck and enjoy
