Just had a look on twitter and seeing several comments about how the div increase is tiny compared to the rise in the footie. The funny thing is that its the same people who were shouting that the footie isnt a reliable measure anymore as they dont see how it can go down.
Making no bones, today has been a disappointment, but some people are just incapable of expressing a balanced view
@Advinculas-Index he did have very briefly a minute or 2 ago
@johnboywalker yeh hes flew past him now. Bastard. Oh well, I topped up the other day sk small amount of IPD from him and Martial.
I knew it was gone when they said 5 mins stoppage time
I'll be gutted if RdP is pipped by Banega here buy it's looking like it's on the cards 😫

@Dan-The-Man this TOTM, I dunno if u or anyone else can nail this. Is it or is it not like IPD's.
For example, I'm a big Kimmich holder and have been since last month. As I've said, absolute no brainer around a PB announcement.
So I fancy his chances of being in this TOTM at least 90% of the time, and probably top spot 50-60% of the time.
Will those shares which I've held since 30/6, become ineligible on 30/7, or is this team of the month a long term dividend like PB/MB
My understanding (which could easily be wrong), is that once you have the shares, they are always eligible. The announcement said that all of our current holdings are eligible.
Kimmich is not a bad shout mate but I don't think he'll win it as often as that. I've not had a chance to run the data for June properly but Jonas Hofman would have had a higher score than him... he might have made the team though.
I don't swim in the that end of the pool but if I were gonna stick £5,000+ into a £5.37 player... the GOAT himself is 20p cheaper, won PB more than twice as often this season and could very well be in every TOTM, not to mention still has fixtures this season.
Been out for a walk with the mrs so not gonna catch up on the whole spread but have spotted this. Yeh maybe I was being a little optimistic there but with Bayern winning most weeks, virtually assured to be in, and go deep in, the CL with the multiplier, and with him routinely posting the scores he does, then I do think hes gonna be in there more than all barring messi.
One thing I have thought, and looking at the immediate, but not huge drops in Depay and Dybala, is that perception will be that 2 of those forward spots are gone. Messi and Neymar, leaving only 1 place up for grabs which will be fought for by those 2 as well as Ronny, dare I say it, Gnabry, and anybody else who has a hot streak of goals in a given month.
You may have seen my attempt at reasoning out the TAA drop earlier
If I was right on that, and right on this, then it would seem the market is very much buying into TOTM which has to be a good thing. Buf of course I could be talking twaddle. I dont think I am though. The drops in TAA Depay and Dybala specifically, make me think I'm right
Nice little start to this new dividend for Rodrigo de Paul. Not gonna lie, I saw they played rock bottom team tonight on div increase day and thought wow, theres prime spike material. Saw an opportunity to flip.
Obviously the div announcement has split opinions and few outfield players have really prospered yet, but even if De Paul had shot upto £3 tonight, which was my definite sell price, I think I'd have continued to hold because of the TOTM.
Same again Kimmich. I was gonna skim a bit of anticipated profit there, but haven't sold a single future because they are now gold dust.
Once the dust settles I think this will bring greatly increased liquidity to players of actual substance every time they score a big PB even without scooping the match day dividend
@Lillychar1216 said in Pogba:
Nice black lives matter logo cut into his hair. Hopefully that will help him win PB tomorrow aswell as today!
Now that really would be a cause for concern 😉
@MrWh1te fair play to you for clarifying that. Have you spoke to them directly or something?
