@Moukoko I hope it’s another promotion! Maybe for every 3.89 shares purchased at under £1.81 who score exactly 67 PB on two game day’s in a 9 day period receive 1,000,672 Awesome points.

For every 3,007,810 awesome points earned in what’s remains of the month an extra share worth in between £1.09 and £1.11 can be purchased and for those shares that score MB of 230+ on the 3rd Wednesday of the next month will get a 1p div for every player in the port who’s first name as at least 4 vowels but no more than 3 consonants in the surname.

If you wanted an accurate poll maybe you should have had the balls to add yourself 🤔.

It’s unlisting once one big account(s) do it the prices start to rise others get the notifications worry they’re missing something and unlist like sheep like they list too.

This is a cycle like any other, the doom and gloom lasts 1-2 weeks normally then we stabilise for a few weeks then we rise. Coming into gold days for EL/CL throughout August, the start up of leagues and transfers we’ll all be fine.

Media revamp will cause a little instability whilst people throw their toys out the pram and threaten to leave, others will adjust their ports.

Sell orders will arrive some prices will drop then recover.

And before we know it it will be December and we’ll all be demanding a new dividend increase as we’ve hit market cap for the shit we got 2 weeks ago.

If people don’t have the stomach for the ups and downs to come I suggest they sell up so they aren’t so anxious all the time, it’s not good for your health.

The rest of us will enjoy the ride 🤪

@NewUser311263 you sound like a man that wants lower spreads and IS back so you can sell up.

I’m happy for them to remain until football is back, FI are being sensible and protecting my “gambled” money.

It is bullying plain and simple, that’s said the other side could do a lot to help themselves.

I’m not going to take sides on this one as I’ve posted many times that the forum isn’t the place for this petty disagreements.

Stop referencing FS would be a start.
Stop name calling would help
Stop goading each other would be lovely
Stop derailing threads would be awesome
Actually just sod off to Twitter and let the rest of us try to help and support each other and new users and I’d be over the moon.

So Vesp gets banned for talking (rightly or wrongly) about another platform, yet people who have bullied forum members from here remain!

Some people on here need to take a fucking long hard look in the mirror, we’re all supposed to be over 18 how about we act like it?

I’m not defending anything Vesp posted I’ve not agreed with the way he has come across About FS and he’s probably done more harm than good, Mr White whilst I like conversing with you on Slack and the other forum you need to tone it down; but some of the comments and insults on here is becoming embarrassing.

How about we talk football, making money and helping each other out?

It was very clear to anyone who deals with people on the edge of crisis that Mr White was having a tough time with whatever he has going on outside FI/FS.

Whilst I don’t agree with much of what he wrote nor the way he might have put his point across, some of you should be ashamed of your behaviour to a fellow human being. I am by no means a snow flake and I can handle my own, but I’m fully aware not everyone can deal with things in the same way.

In the last month I’ve seen a great colleague take his own life leaving a wife and 2 kids under 10; we had no idea it was coming and for me highlighted the need to be mindful of how others might be feeling in this difficulty times for many.

I expect the usual suspects to come out and berate me for this post, as appearances for some mean more than being a decent person; I just hope some of what has been said by a few here sinks in and we start to have a much more civil place to converse.

@GDS why should we know the terms of their private contract? You don’t go into John Lewis and expect to know what margin they make on the Bosch washing machine you’re looking to buy.

The rules of market makers is in the T&Cs that’s all we have to be and should be told.

Rather the get it right before launch than it break and everyone whinges

Let’s not have multi threads on here, if we keep it on one place FI are likely to have less of an issue.

Imo it’s good for both platforms if we have decent cross over but FS has its own community so we don’t need to turn these forums into a place for lots of FS chat

@trig said in Rolling matchday thread: 11/8/20:

My question is, unless you were getting someone at really stupid ME price why would you buy anyone that is still not in Europe or Ligue 1 as IPD x 5 and media run to the end of Sept??????????

Many will already be setting their ports up for the next leagues to restart, it’s not all about IPDs but about the higher prices others will pay to potentially earn those IPDs.

There are many ways to make money on FI if we all did it the same way no one would make much money.

@howsthebacon we’re certainly not at nail in the coffin stage far from it, but for those here a longer period time it’s tougher than it ever was.

I’ve been here 12 months now (god is it August already), took me 6 months to fully understand the platform and then we hit COVID19! I’ve made 20% profit during this period mainly by pure luck that my port was set up for the guys that hit decent MB during lock down and before the FOMO Sancho train arrived.

Those here longer it’s clear we’re making excellent returns, able to take a punt where it either made them loads or they could cash out with very little loss; those days are gone. I completely understand the frustration those players feel as it came without much warning, and the warning they gave was when IS was suspended due to COVID19 and they couldn’t change their strategy anyway.

This frustration has led to bitterness and resentment and a fair few people have either sold up and left or taken their capital out and are now playing with profit only therefore reducing their risk.

For anyone joining now you are in a much better place than those here before, you might not have a big port with massive dividend and profit figures but you no know the new game rules and structure.

We’ve all got to play what’s in front of us and those who can adapt will make good returns (unlikely to be the 100% people were getting before) but it will take patience’s and spotting opportunities.

The community (the vocal ones) are currently spilt, it’s for that reason I hope those unhappy can get out with profit and leave; I’ve been very critical of FI since true IS was removed but from a long term business point of view I understand the moves they’ve made so far which is what gives me confidence to continue here and not withdraw.

I firmly believe once we’re out of the current pandemic (second spike or not) we’ll see a decent dividend increase and massive growth. FI aren’t skint but they are being prudent to ensure they can survive the next 6-12 months if the worse case scenario happens; and that is good for all of us.

But I still want people to hold FI and their decisions to account, they’ll be more bumps along the way and people should speak up; for me it’s how they do that and what their real agenda is. Life ain’t all roses and champagne on other platforms I’ll tell you that much (I’m on 2 others), but they are newer and shinier and to be fair their customer service is bloody awesome so people will bang the drum loudly trying to get everyone else to come over so they make more money.

Anyway it’s 3am and I’m rambling because is can’t sleep in this heat but I’ll stop there I think.

@Dr-Jan-Itor no issues with that mate, today was the straw that broke the camels back; I’ve defended the said person for months but after the crap on Twitter and yet another dig at a platform he so vocal dislikes I snapped.

I’m happy to apologise to the community if that’s how it’s been taken, but my post breaks no forum rules nor is it insulting, degrading or harmful and contained no offensive content.

I pride myself on being fairly reasonable and level headed but I feel occasionally people should be able to call others out (as you and Dan have with me tonight) and as adults on a gambling platform that should be perfectly acceptable.

Should FI contact me to tell me that my post broke some sort of rule, then of course I’ll take an punishment on the chin like the big boy I am.

@Coleyscrooge said in How bad are spreads really?:

@Ddr yeah I considered that, but I think the instant rise in player prices (which would be huge in some cases) followed by a similarly quick “crash” would be a terrible look for the platform. Too many people wouldn’t understand what is going on and I can already imagine the horror stories on Twitter.

I had hoped they’d clear the queues when ME landed as I think many who have listed would reconsider when they saw what their shares could be worth.

It will be interesting to see how people react when that does happen, I have no doubt it will go one of two ways; a roller coaster for us all.

@Dan-The-Man take your point mate but in the last week the stuff on Twitter from him has become far to much; I have decent money in FI and I’m sick of the crap.

But as I said I take your point, I won’t converse any further with him as @Black-Wolf pointed our best not too.

@Metropolis that’s it exactly I have those I no longer want listed and when they sell they sell; sometimes you get surprised like tonight listed Declan Rice and he started selling straightaway.

@MrWh1te no you weren’t you were moaning that you have all your players listed to sell (and they haven’t) and further moaning that you would have to unlist to check the IS price!

I’m now going to take advantage of the block function as I have done with you on Twitter and removed myself from Westy’s forum so I no longer have to read your posts.

Just listed Declan Rice and he started selling in minutes!! To think I was planning on ISing him earlier!

@MrWh1te I am targeting those who constantly post negative stuff and offer nothing else to the forum; you can report this if you like but I’m not being rude, not questioning any disability (seen or unseen), not questioning race or religion in fact I’m simply pointing out that you moaning about you port not selling no longer interest me. I think you’ll find I’m allow to have that opinion unless FI wish to tell me otherwise.

@MrWh1te no you miss understand I no longer care about your port! Other people’s yep and happy to chat and discuss things you my former friend can simply do one....and I now expect a comment about bullying!! Which this isn’t just pointing out you bore me 🤪
