Any chance you lot could set up your own forum and leave everyone else to talk normally?😆

Daft question but I'm guessing at the moment FI make money through IPOs, the 2% when we sell shares and when we have to buy more shares from them because there are none in the sell queue?

So a shake up like the GK must have made them a mint, but it makes me realise they profit from shaking things up, not by us sitting on our shares for 3 years!

@speedloafer calling out bullying by calling someone a nonce? way to claim the moral high ground!

You'd have thought this forum was full of idiotic teenagers sometimes, but that's a disservice to many teenagers...

If FI is to grow surely it needs new customers as well as existing ones?

I can't see why Goalkeepers shouldn't have been separated initially, it makes the market more rounded, especially to new investors

Likewise TOTM, it rewards good players who might miss out on PB because a Silva or Banega put in a worldie! It
actually removes a bit of the uncertainty around buying expensive players

I think in the long run it will help the top end and the bottom end (which was always GK!)

Imagine if a new trader put money into FI now;

GK, DEF, MID & FOR all can win PB dividends and not just the expensive players win them

There is a team of the month for top players that might not win PB so their value stays

The top players or top performers win MB (usually)

I have IPDs as a bonus in the first 30 days of owning any player

There are regular promotions

I mean really, what isn't there to like and get excited about?! I have made about 10% back in dividends alone in my first 6 months, where the hell else am I (with no real knowledge of the stock market etc) going to do that?!

I love FI!! I'm not Adam Cole...:)

Think about it this way, sell at a loss and then you have to make that loss back as well as hopefully profit from what you buy!

It's a 3 year bet, if you're happy with what you have, stick with it, don't chase profit!😄

Surely if the Index keeps growing, there's no reason why consistently good players who aren't approaching 30 won't keep going up in price?
Look at Sancho, a year ago he was £5 odd, he's now £14, as long as he keeps doing what he's doing then people will keep buying him?!

@Gregolocky I get your point, however it is down to us to manage who we buy, it's like we are investing in FI but gambling on the players we buy?

Difficult to say I guess, looking at this year once we're through the tsunamis and zombie apocalypse...😁
I've been on 6 months and have invested £1350 over that time, have made £215 in CA and £105 in Divs so just shy of 24% in 6 months...
I mean I don't for one second believe I'll make 50% a year, because if I compound that with future deposits, in 10 years I'll be paying the mortgage off...🤣🤑

@Coleyscrooge I've heard that's what strip clubs show up as on bank statements...😆

@Sav2000 no multiplier for the French league though, and the semi finals of the European cups happen before the 21st cut off date!😄

@TotalPunt are any players except those who get to the semis of the two European cups going to have 3 fixtures?!

Maybe they should have gotten him to sign a new contract before buying Ake!😆

@Erased-Citizen So I'm guessing as he managed more goals and assists this season at the age of 20 than Ribery and Robben did for Bayern that you think they were bang average as well?

@Chris-J I get you, but surely people would be better off looking ahead over 3 years? If people really believe players like Sancho will be worth less than they are now then they have little or no faith in FI to grow?

@Coriolanus How do you know he won't be earning anything, in your post above you said he could be better or worse?

He could move to Man U and bang in 50 goals or 5 goals in a season, I'm not saying he isn't overpriced, but what he is, is earning more divs than anyone else at the moment, and that has value!

And yes that may not continue, but it might, thats the nature of gambling...

@Coriolanus You can say that about any player on here, thats why it's gambling, but its a 3 year bet!

Okay so let's say he gets 10 or 20 days of 8p a day media, can you tell me if any English 20yr old got 20 days of top forward in a row people wouldn't be going crazy?

Greenwood is £9.40 off the back of 15p of media divs?!

I'm not saying he's worth £15, I'm just saying he is earning divs everyday, more so than most players!

@Coriolanus Rashford was £4 a year ago, £7.30 now, are you suggesting he is going to be worth £7.30 in 3 years?

@Coriolanus you can't have much faith in FI if you think a 20yr old English player who has 17 goals and 16 assists in 32 games this season, who will eventually move to Man U and go to the Euros and WC will be worth £5 in 3 years time?!🤷‍♂️
