@Gregolocky said in Wan Bassaka - Done Deal:

Imagine the price of Cafu and Roberto Carlos today

Cafu was beyond belief man, one of my favourite players ever. I remember seeing Brazil go 2-1 down in a world cup group match '98 I think, against some Scandinavian side, and from right back, cafu utterly dominated the match and Brazil won 4-2 iirc. Every club in the world would want him and his price tag would be enormous.

@mog9 players like banega, rudiger, pjanic aguero who are getting on a bit all tend to get quite considerable rises from about June time onwards, peaking around september/October. Then theres a hell of a lot of profit taking goes on and come November they are back to their pre-rise price.

The beauty of these players is that they post consistently good PB scores and can be picked up cheaply if you time it right. They've pretty much all started to rise a bit now but theres profit left in just about every one of them.

As I said, I've taken my profits now, so this isn't a pump but click on any one of those mentioned, or Ramos, select their 1 year graph, and you will quickly get the picture.

There are loads of them

@Kelly18 since none of those are likely to be MB magnets any time soon I'd check out their PB potential before you buy. Dont get me wrong, it might be very impressive, but all that's provided in the post is his usual 'great prospect' tripe

That would be an absolute mammoth task for me

I'd have to agree with @Abaalan on goretzka. Yes hes had a good rise but I'm hoping it's the start of him being recognized as a premium PB player like thiago so I'm definitely not getting twitchy. Other than that 1k would buy you over 300 havertz who is only 19 and could definitely be a top 3 player in a year or 2 so equivalent of holding 300 pogba now maybe.

@mike778 that's always been my approach, not chasing the divs and chasing the cap app instead but it would be nice to regularly wake up to free money so now that I've got a reasonable sized port I've decided now the time. I horsed 2k in at the start of bonus 3 and loaded up on players with the banega style 1 year graphs. I've since flipped them having made really good profit on all of them, even though I know there was undoubtedly more growth in them but I've took the profits and started reinvesting in the higher end because I expect big rises between now and the end of the month and then again nearer to the new season and didnt want yo be priced out of the market. Loading up on MB returnees whilst keeping the younger PB players like pulgar etc, and will again buy into the banegas come about November when they are back at mors or less their bottom prices

Good responses fellas. Thanks. To pick up on what @Martyn-B said, at the minute I'm kind of doing something similar but targeting 300/150. Although there are a couple at the bottom end of the top 200 that I have 300 in but they've cap apped their way to the top 200 since I bought.

I'm at a lower level of investment though, I've put in about £3300 since joining in Feb and am sitting at £4240 ish. Like you I will be making monthly deposits but it will vary from month to month, probably never less than £300, some months considerably more.

Every penny between now and the euros will be going into my higher end players who I have only started with this week and most of whom are at a single share. Although I've already got 150 of dembele havertz and ziyech and then the very last thing I did after buying my single shares was press buy max on rashford which gave me 39.

@Wiillaah I couldn't bare the random numbers 😂😂

Here's a question that might get different perspectives dependant on how big a fish you are, but all views are appreciated.

I've spent a lot of time and money buying up good holds in PB players, from the really cheap to the likes of Tah, Alcantara etc.

As I've said previously, I like to hold 300 of a player. But I'm now starting to diversify, at last starting to put money into some of the higher priced MB players. I wont touch pogba or neymar and have not yet touched mbappe but wouldn't rule him out.

I'm in the very very early stages of building holds in basically most of the top England players, barring kane, and a few yet to make their full debut like Brewster and foden, as well as a few others like havertz, ziyech and ousmane dembele.

Obviously it's a hell of a lot easier to hold 300 pulgar, orsolini, elvedi or goretzka than it is to hold 300 sancho, sterling, rashford or CHO; unless of course you've got 5 figure sums to throw at it.

I mean id get there eventually but it will take a long time. Would most of you content yourselves with say half the amount of sterlings than you would pulgar or would you maybe hold fewer of the big hitters in order that you can have larger holds?

@LittleFish I wouldn't panic on bale. Whether or not a move happens, we havent heard the last of the talk which means probable divs plus people jumping on, be if in the hope of a move happening or just seeing a flip opportunity. Therefore, even if you do end up biting the bullet at a loss, the time will come in the not too distant future where it will sting a bit less

@Munchie63 yeh fair play it wasnt the hard sell. We've seen what a goal can do for a price already tonight 😂😂
