I fear for Sancho holders, if he doesn't win PB tonight. He should be a good long term hold, but traders have had a habit recently of overreacting if a player puts in just one bad or average performance. Having said that, he's obviously the biggest name playing tonight, so could be in line for some MB.
I've gone with Cazorla for possible PB and of course IPDs. He's an old man, but a very good PB scorer (PB base 85 and five scores between 170 and 215 in 2019) given his price (50-60p).
Also if/ when you look to buy cheap players in future, always consider the spread in case you need to IS one day.
Anything more than 1p or 2p on a sub 50p player is too much, in my opinion.

"Buy Jordan Henderson"
😂 😂 😂
Who by the way is down from 53p to 50p in the last week!
If you had bought 3,500 as Dan recommended, then you’d be down £105 (5.6%) already.
Not sure I follow your logic. Starting games is generally a very strong clue that a player isn't being frozen out! Time will tell whether Zidane continues to start him, but I thought it was very interesting that the first wing-forward to be taken off on Saturday was Vinicius Junior, not Bale, which may be an indicator of their relative positions in the pecking order.
Plus don't forget that Bale is supported by the club president and it's quite possible he'll survive longer than Zidane at Real. Who do you think pulled the plug on his transfer deal to China, when they could have let him leave very easily?
In terms of comparing his price to CR7, Ronaldo is over four years older and plays for a lower profile club. Real are the biggest club in the world - they've won seven (yes 7) European Cups since Juventus last won one!
I’m not sure Hazard will provide much competition PB wise, because Neymar is way ahead of him in terms of PB base and PB average - although how much of that is due to the French league being easier than the Premiership I don’t know.
Neymar’s price dropped circa 60p-70p once the Barcelona rumours cropped up, so hopefully a Barca move is already factored into his current price. PB will definitely suffer alongside Messi, but there should be a MB uplift, as Barca attract more media than PSG. Plus his one name advantage gives him the edge over Messi in shared media articles - i.e. “Messi and Neymar both score hatricks in massive Barca win” will register for Neymar but not Messi (unless Lionel is used in the headline).
If / when he stays at PSG, I expect his price to boom back towards £8 though.
Yep, I agree and have invested too.
If he continues to start for Real, then he’ll begin returning dividends again and his price will rise.
I don't think Chiesa, Under and Oyarzabal are good picks at their current price. You could be waiting a long time for them to do anything noteworthy PB wise - just look at their modest PB averages and the long run of low scores they tend to deliver. Maybe they'll manage a big score once a season, but your capital is going to be tied up hoping for that one good game. They're all at comparatively small clubs too, so little or no MB potential. Plus if you look at their graphs, they've all peaked in price recently, so they are going to need to deliver consistently high PB winning scores or be linked with a move to the Premiership in January to achieve any significant further growth.
Odegaard has played one PB eligible game in his entire career. Yes, he scored 119 PB points, but 1 game is nothing for a 20 year old on FI. Again he's peaked in price recently, so now is probably not a great time to buy.
In contrast, J-Rod's price has fallen to a one-year low and his PB (and MB) potential is far greater than those players. His problem is obviously that he hasn't been playing regularly, but if he can force his way back into the Real side (probably not) or move to another large European club (much more likely) before the Sept window closes, then he could double in price more easily than the others.
I can't say it surprises me. Their lack of attention to detail is well known, so if any gambling company was going to make this mistake, there was always a chance it would be FI.
How do FI define what is and isn't football related though? If Neymar wasn't a high profile PSG and Brazilian footballer, then it's extremely unlikely those allegations would have been made against him.
Maybe FI would say that the stories need to have a direct link to something that's happened on the field. But it seems a bit of a grey area.
What happens if Pogba is racially abused again online on say Thursday, without any direct reference to his penalty miss?
