@Misto

Arrrgh Misto (and others), can you please stop repeating that the Footie is a measure of the money invested in the Top 200. It’s not.

It’s a measure of the money invested in all players on the Index (Top 200 and Squad players). FI have confirmed this to me.

I appreciate that the FI FAQ section says Top 200, but that is outdated information that relates to pre Autumn 2017, when only the Top 200 players where tradable. The FAQs just need updating.

The Footie has increased nearly 10 fold since then, but the top players have only increased in value by circa 4 fold. The expansion of FI to include the squad players and the mass IPOs in 2017/18 has accounted for the difference in growth.

This is why it’s better to buy in days before an announcement. The website / app often crashes when everyone is trying to buy at the same time!

Excellent decision by FI to increase dividends by on average 28%. This will unlock a lot more growth in the index.

Also I like the sensible way they’ve explained opening up MB to the whole market.

I’m happy I bought and held the likes of Balotelli and Kepa now. They’re not suddenly going to take over MB, but they will return some dividends when they do something controversial from time to time.

I don't think J Rod holders are happy with that substitution 😬, lucky for us Alberto holders.

I knew that substitution was coming as soon as Bayern scored their 6th. Seriously annoying, but a welcome return to form for J Rod, who is getting back towards last season’s big PB scores.

Nothing for me yet. Hopefully they’ll be sorted today.

33 players, 4300 futures, £17k invested

@Chris-J

I completely agree and have topped up on VJ. Once he returns from injury, he's unlikely to be less than £10 per future for many years to come. Even if Zidane doesn't rate him or play him much (which I doubt), his price will rise regardless as he approaches full fitness.

I did a similar thing when Kane got injured in January. I bought him at £9 per future and now he's worth £11+.

@Andy-M

I wouldn't buy him personally, but the sell queue will be very short for any player that has increased by 80p in 24 hours!

It's really easy (and quick) to sell any mid to high value player via the sell queue, providing that their price is rising (or has just risen). It's selling in a falling market that is the problem and leads to long queue times.

Personally I would sell now via the queue and reinvest, because the risk of further falls in Ronaldo's price are probably greater than the benefits of further PB & MB wins this season. Just my opinion though.

@NewUser198049

I bought 100 Pogba at £13. He almost immediately tanked down to £11, causing horrific losses in my portfolio, then Mourinho was sacked, Pogba starting winning PB and he shot up to £20+!

I’ve since sold at a massive profit.

I hold you’re right. My portfolio has been as flat as a pancake for a couple of weeks now.
