Disclosure - I own shares in Dybala, De Ligt, and A.Gomez

With Ligue 1 curtailed months ago and the Bundesliga already drawn to a close, only the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A remain as PB leagues still being played.

With 6/7 match days in the Premier League and La Liga remaining, Serie A stands out with 10 full match days remaining. With the provisional fixtures dates currently, Serie A teams will likely get 2 or 3 rounds of fixtures as the only PB earning teams in FI.

This is further compounded by the upcoming dividend increase on July 9th with which Serie A is set to gain an early advantage from 7 match days set to occur after the dividend rise. Compared to Premier League teams only benefitting from 4/5 match days of the remaining 19/20 season overlapping with the dividend increases, and La Liga teams only benefitting from a crossover of 3 or 4 matches.

The cherry on the top is that Serie A fixtures are so compacted for the remaining match days that you could buy shares in a player in the next few days and be eligible for IPDs for up to 9 match days.

Personally, I think this provides a fantastic opportunity to purchase Serie A players. Benefit from the natural moat of Serie A being the only PB league for 2/3 match days, receive the most short term benefit from the PB dividend increase, and finally benefit from the IPD 30 day blanket covering up to 9 match days.

That is HUGE.

The matching engine isn't a matching engine, its a buying engine. Matching requires two equally able sides. Until it is possible for sellers and buyers to dictate prices, it is not a matching engine.

Once they introduce the selling side, I think we'll see a tumultuous correction in prices as spreads reach their true market-dictated levels, not the current artificial spreads where sellers are handicapped.

So...how about those Adil Aouchiche shares ey

Fuck off you cunt!!!!

FI should've led with messaging of perspective, rather than £1bn market cap and so on. You can't blame people for being excited by FI's own messaging.

People ignoring the existence of FI dividends is frustrating. That is the simple but significant difference between FI and a ponzi scheme. It shouldn't be so hard to grasp, but apparently it is.

FI can't be 37.8343% ponzi scheme. It either is or it isn't. And, spoilers, it isn't.

Is it being banned for a "different opinion" or using the forum as a parasite for a rival company?

Making it sounds like he disagreed with the MB system, rather than constantly posting manipulative pro-FS/anti-FI drivel.

People are acting like football is attempting to leapfrog the lockdown process, when in reality all these discussions are focused on being prepared and ready to start up again IN LINE with the rest of their respective countries.

The respective leagues needs weeks or months to prepare, this is what is happening. I'm surprised so many people are against timely planning and preparation.

@chaps1988 said in BIRTHDAY BONUS BABY:

So how do people play this NBB promo? It's my first one. My understanding is its all well and good spending money, but then the day after the promo ends and people get their bonus, there will be a mass sell off so you could be stuck with players/even lose on a trade. So is it all worth it? Whats the strategy?

Nothing revelatory really. Work the promo around your long term strategy and not vice versa.

I'd be asking myself, would I be buying player x if the promo wasn't running?

If you're looking specifically to maximise from this promo, I would avoid players whose values are inflated due to the IDP promo, as bonus or not their values will drop come Oct 1st.

@wearing-louis said in Bruno Fernandes:

159 base score without a goal or and an assist last game. United loss also.

Priced nearly 2.50 below his peak, looks like a decent buy for this 8.25% bonus.

How many do you hold? ;)

Already noticed a market nudge based on what I can only assume is the change to FI's twitter pic and name - this crazy platform is hilarious, and I love it!

@DW said in Reason for our names being taken from trades?:

It could be to do with market maker's, might want to 'blend in' thier buying and selling.

If this is the case, its a good move from FI. The less visible the market makers are, the better.

Not sure why you're making the point about judging managers/systems, is anyone serious on FI doing this? Seems like an artificial separation. Judging a player should be shorthand for judging anything and everything positive or negative that the player either influences or is affected by.

Of course ppl take a manager in consideration when buying a player, youd be stupid not to. Some managers like Klopp and Nagelsmann play tactics that are condusive to good PB scores.

Others do not. That's why ppl dont tend to go mad for spurs players, because Mourinho is negative. If mourinho went to liverpool, trent would tank. If Klopp went to Chelsea, Chilwell would rocket.

Whenever Simeone leaves Atletico, there will be a collective intake of breath because wherever he goes, it will be seen as the kiss of death for that teams PB.

It's all about tactics, and these days, managers have a 'way of playing', and it's their trademark. If Simeone or Mourinho was at Liverpool, you wouldnt see TAA playing as a winger anymore and his scores would be negatively impacted.

Absolutely, don't think I worded that point very well. I meant the separation of player from manager or team or system is artificial, and that surely no-one is ignoring all of that context when judging players.

I feel sorry for new users who don't grasp these distinctions, they're chum for the sharks.

Yeah... well that's we were having separate conversation... because you wrote this

"Not sure why you're making the point about judging managers/systems, is anyone serious on FI doing this? "

When I think you meant to put "Is anyone NOT doing this"...

You - "We often forget that it's not really the player who wins us the PB. It's the managers system and his team."

Me - "Not sure why you're making the point about judging managers/systems, is anyone serious on FI doing this?"

I am sorry that you're too thick to carry a train of thought for more than one sentence. The question "is anyone serious on FI doing this?" referred to your point that people often forget... It wasn't written as clearly as it could've been, apologies for giving you too much credit. But I knew you didn't get what I meant further down the line, so I repeated the same point to make it easier to grasp to avoid embarrassment.

"The idea that people aren't judging players in terms of the context in which they exist as well as individually is crazy to me. I would assume anyone half-serious is doing this as a given, its extremely basic. It shouldn't be a revelation that judging players means more than individual focus."

But apparently even that isn't dumbed down enough. I look forward to another brainless response.

I'm honestly not sure why you're being so rude.

You missed a word out of your sentence that changed the meaning of it, which is why Mick responded to you in the way that he did.

When you wrote "Is anyone serious doing this", did you expect me to realise that you'd missed a word?

You made yourself sound like a newbie, and me thinking that you were one (based on your own words), I tried to explain the concept in an effort to help you out. Mick, basically called you stupid in his attempt to clue you up... I was being polite.

So why are you being a cock?

You're right, I should've clarified what I was saying in the very next comment, save all these tears. Oh, wait a second, I did that and now you're dragging it out like a baby.

Yeah, I'm dragging it out. I'm petty like that me when someone's being an ass for no reason, especially when I've only tried to help them.

You didn't explain that you'd made a mistake, so to anyone reading your second post, it just read as a contradiction. Made you sound confused about your own position.

What I don't get, is how you can admit that you were the one who caused the miscommunication, but yet you're still acting like I'm the asshole.

If I had the sky was green then the sky is orange in the next post, I'd agree, but it was a badly worded sentence that I clarified later on. You seem to be more interested in arguing the toss than moving the discussion on.

If you want to be a cry arse about it, carry on.

OK.

The 700% I made off of Henderson in that run, wasn't painful, nor was the £150 in divs from Fabinho upon his return but whatev.

I give up, we're having two different conversations. Please stop responding.
