Well that's definitely happened before but you really shouldn't believe everything you read. People do either lie, exaggerate or jump to conclusions and end up being wrong.

I'd suggest it's actually the other way. What if the poster read somewhere that a deal had been done and they were only repeating that. They're just as much a victim of the lie as you but now they are banned from the forum. Then next on a deal that has been done, someone says he'll be a £2 player by the end of the day. If that doesn't end up happening should they be banned? Then someone says X player is a good hold but they don't turn out to be, should they be banned?

That's the slippery slope for me and would end with no discussion being allowed on the forum. You shouldn't trust anything people post or anything in the papers without doing your own research.

Palace probably saw last night's game and rang Man Utd back saying actually about that offer you put in...

@RickYNWA surprised you say that. Going off username thought your mantra would be "next year will be the year" 😉

@Jamie he's got the 16th highest average PB on the index. If he can repeat his performance of last season he will win divs, there are a lot of players priced higher with a lot worst chances of winning

@Ericali said in Time to invest:

The negativity will disperse with those who choose to go.

Hope so! It's really getting boring now having every other thread about the downturn. Especially all these "treating it like a real stock market, long term investor" types who are selling up on the first sustained dip.

I think 50% off merchandise is exactly the shot in the arm that the index needed right now.

If only they could follow this up with maybe changing the colour of the buy and sell buttons then it's going to be rockets!!

Don't know if anyone has mentioned him but I'm hoping Goretzka can have a good season and cement his place for the euros

I think the lower the spread the more stable the player is? So if no-one is selling the two will be close, the more volatility in a player the higher the spread will go. That's why if you see someone dropping fast the spread will get huge.

I think that's right anyway, if anyone knows better please say.

@janner73 said in The Wednesday Sell-Off:

Well it's a less than a month after a 57% dividend increase and twitter is already starting to go into meltdown. Seriously I have no idea what some people expect from FI other than to keep handing them free money.
This platform is only gonna go one way in January - the next month is just a case of topping up and riding it out :)

Always the same cycle. Maybe more extreme on twitter but this place will be going the same way soon enough.

If ports keep dropping you'll see more and more posts referencing how people are losing profits they made since divs announcement then after a week or so it'll be people saying they're going to leave the platform unless FI do something...

Then an announcement will come which creates some green and the posts will be back to how much return can I expect, such and such a player is rocketing! etc. Until another dip begins and we're back to square one.

I don't know what the answer is to avoid this but hopefully whatever they have planned is going to encourage some new users to get involved and we can have a smooth ride until the Euros in summer, fingers crossed!

How do you know the score has been corrected? We can't see the full list of scores after midnight has passed can we?

@Geronimo159387 yeah I know yours are good. I was on about people buying now as you said

"I get that but if he wins mid PB, 211 at half time, that's another 4p, star man would add another 4p (albeit the goat is in action later) but even 6p on a 71p, now 73p price is probably a better return than 90% of the EPL"

People know if they bought on the goals they wouldn't see that extra 8p regardless of what happens

@Geronimo159387 it's too late to get the PB if buying now. Deadline has passed

@Tom7471 said in How much are FI making?:

There may be a situation with the matching engine where some players won't be selling for anywhere near the market sell price. Say someone who is at 80p market sell value but people may only be buying him for 40p FI will only receive the commission on that 40p which much be an issue.

They were previously only making comission the sale not the buy. Now they are (or going to after this into period) take 2% on the seller side and the buyer side so no worse off in your example and will be better off if the player is sold anything about 50% market value

@ScouseSte said in Random thought about using player names:

Could play havoc 😂

I'm sure a lot of players are aware of their ratings on FIFA and could say I'm an 88 you're only 79 or whatever but doubt it's really going to have an impact on a professional player's performance.

They've got to have pretty thick skins, there's a lot worse stick they get from the crowd!

@Coopobot said in Patrick Van Aarnholt:

@Splurger_Dan yes i am aware of his current IS price. But if you own shares in a player, and click on the IS price, then if someone has offered more through the matching engine then a new offer comes up. It is that potential new offer that i cannot see without cancelling my place in the sell queue.

Hope that makes sense.

This is correct and not sure why people are suggesting otherwise, but unfortunately unable to help as I don't own any of his futures. Intrigued as to why he's shot up though? Palace have a good run of fixtures?

The price that is shows is for one share tho. As you increase the number it will move until you get to 300 theb it'll match the average

IS is the offered price. I think the average of the top offers for 300 futures?

It doesn't go higher when you click to sell unless you have less than 300. So for example if there were two bids of 150 each one priced at £1 and one priced at £2 then the average would be £1.50 which you'd see in the box. If you only had 100 to sell you could then sell them all at £2.

Think I'm right here?

I'd say Fred probably overpriced but man Utd players always skew higher.

Goretzka is undervalued for me in comparison to similar players. He's a mainstay of Bayern team so lots of league wins, lots of champions league games plus Euros and world cup for Germany before your 3 year hold is up at which point he may just be coming into his prime at 28ish

@LittleFish said in Fashion for the elite and not much else.:

The trend toward the top players could accelerate if any hint of dividend increase is made tomorrow.

What's happening tomorrow?
