Yeah, likewise I'm surprised that there haven't been any massive price crashes a couple of minutes after midnight. Prices are dipping a bit, but nothing major.

@Dan-w

It is possible to make money with a quick match-day flip.

I bought Andrea Petagna an hour after he scored a goal for 92p per future, held him passed midnight (so I should receive 2p per future at the start of November) and sold him the following afternoon for 102p per future.

It can be done, although the profit margins are not massive, unless you spend all day watching matches and buy the very second someone scores.

@Tom77

Yeah, I think that FI have made a massive rod for their own back. How on earth are they going to track all player purchases pre-midnight, the number of goals and assists for each player, and all player sales post midnight?

FI has a host of annoying technical / IT problems that remain unsolved, so I would be amazed if there aren't problems come 1st November.

@StefanL

You only need to hold until midnight to earn Jovic’s 10p promo dividend from this evening’s game. Although the promo dividend isn’t paid until start of November!

Some people will sell up shortly after midnight and his price will drop. In doing so, they’ll probably miss out on his normal 6p PB dividend, because you need to hold until that’s paid (usually by 1 am).

A lot of people are going to get burnt over the coming days with all of the confusing deadlines and market volatility!

For MB and PB, you actually need to hold until those dividends are paid, not just until midnight.

The midnight hold is purely for this latest promo dividend.

Now watch Luca Jovic’s price absolutely tank 1 minute after midnight!

The Index has gone mental.

Doesn't fit my current strategy, but I see that Yerry Mina is finally ready to play for Everton.

It will be interesting to see if he's as dangerous when attacking corners in the Premier League, as he was at the World Cup.

Sounds like a good trade, buy at 8.61 and sell at 14.33. I wish my trades where always that profitable!

Although some have questioned why you're selling Hazard now, I think you're doing the right thing. If you want to sell, then sell when others are still buying.

If you wait until a player peaks in price and begins to drop, your futures can be stuck in the sell queue for days or worse you end up having to instant sell (which will cost you another circa 5% with the spread).

After the recent uplift in striker values, Danny Welbeck is looking cheap at £1.16.

Regular starter in Arsenal's Europa League matches and makes some appearances in the Premier League too, albeit he's behind Aubameyang and Lacazette in the pecking order.

As Arsenal play Monday & Thursday next week, he's nailed on to start one of those matches.

Plus the website crashed, so some users could see what was written and others couldn't. Not good enough really.

It doesn't take a genius to realise that your website traffic will increase significantly when an announcement like this is made.
