@Gregolocky hummels scored quite high too -clearly conceding 3 isn't so bad if you score eh?

Weigl was completely at fault for the 2nd goal, my nan runs quicker to get her milk

Good stuff lads

Hi mate welcome to the forum and to FI

I joined just under 1 month ago and the forums have been a treasure trove of advice and any questions have been answered kindly and with sound logic. I too have only started off with a very small deposit just so I could try a few things, I have got burnt a few times and a few things have turned out decent.

Dont go hunting about on twitter and taking too much notice of the big whales portfolio pics because they will seriously put you off, seeing people with thousands of shares in the best players when they were a fraction of their current price just makes you want to close the door and walk away. Like a mate of mine did. What you need to understand is those prices were a reflection of how big the index was at that time, and the prices currently reflect were it is now....and in a few months after the massive marketing push coming who knows we might see our very first £10+ player

My honest recommendation is to grab some premier league players for the winter fixture congestion and take advantage of some in-play-dividends so you get more chances at returns for 30 days - might get lucky and get some capital increase as well and be able to sell at a profit. (The dream)

I've only been here a short time, but I have already witnessed a massive crash with Ibra releasing the hammarby instagram post - and also bruno fernandes committing to a new contract. I held small amounts in both players as I was testing out what sort of increase I would see if they got a january move.

Dont spend what you cant afford to lose mate and go have some fun.

If you want to send me a PM I can pretty much tell you what worked for me with my first 200 invested on the Flex and what I hold at the moment and why.

If villa go down you would imagine he would have a few folks knocking on his agents door from the PL

He already walks Into the united team easily better than anything we have in the centre of the park

Just bought him too as my first premium hold. Can only afford 50 quid each month so seems a sensible long term hold

Hey folks - been hearing about FI alot over the past few months. Mostly when down the pub watching my £10 wonder-retirement acca beaten by the early kick-off.

Why not invest that money in player shares some bloke said...showed me his 'portfolio' told me about a few young players he hopes will break into the bigger leagues

Flip I'm hooked - for a week solid I've been reading blogs, listening to podcasts - browsing on the forums -plenty of friendly folks around have to say

Added a few players to the portfolio over the weekend there and just taking it slow and testing the water.

Here's the question - based on the new PB matrix, does anyone see a risk taking a splurge on N'golo Kantè? Hes an odd goal in him, likes a tackle, interceptions, Carries the ball well enough. I guess the question is does he slot in beside jorginho in Lampard's system?

Hes currently 90p and looking back a year he was roughly the same so hes had no growth despite being imo one of the best in his position. I was just hoping a more experienced head could offer an opinion as to why hes not a decent shout? Hes due to play for france in the euros, age is against him granted at 29/28ish off the top of my head, but compared to similar midfielders I think hes undervalued by at least 30p

But then I'm just in the door lol

Advice appreciated

Cheers folks

Yesterday was a silver day mate

I literally came on here to ask about his rise because I just couldn't understand it. I'm concerned of a drop because theres just so much money dipping in and out of players at the moment but I bought him with a long term hold view in mind so going to hold until at least the euros to see if he gets in the spain squad

I hold jota as well - think wolves should do ok in the europa

@janner73 seria A should be a bigger priority mate as they are very much in the mix for qualifying next season. Shouldnt put all their eggs in one basket tho, but I guess simeone inzaghi will know the depth of his squad - I agree if they went out I dont think they would be too bothered

I hear you buddy

@FINorth excellent question I was wondering the exact same thing and the answers here so far have been very informative - thanks guys

I hold moutinho, payet and gomez

Adama to £3 if he bosses Robertson today and nabs a cheeky goal or assist?

We watch and we wait...

@Gazz127 me too bud.

Maybe folks lifting some cash out for last minute shopping :) lot of your players look long term holds - wouldn't worry january should hopefully see some rises

I dont hold many prem players so my ports a bit stagnant too

Pierre Lees Melou - 55p

Team - Nice
Age - 26yrs old
Position -Can play left, Mid or right of midfield
Came into good form in last 5 games - 2g 3a

@ScoutScout we have too many (albeit not great) CBs already and having a youth prospect like tuanzebe already knocking on the door I cant see it happening myself

Maguire, lindelof, tuanzebe, baily, Rojo, Jones and smalling still out on loan

Who knows tho eh? Not like united have a logical approach to transfers

He was first linked to milan the day after he played against inter

If hes that good surely a loan with a view to replace pique in the next few seasons makes sense?

What a game - brandts really flourishing in his temporary position isn't he

When I first joined the platform a name that kept popping up was sabitzer for being a good PB player, he had a poor game at the weekend against dusseldorf and he wasnt really involved again last night. 2 games isn't a fair indication but I was hoping to see more from him before jumping in
