Anyone bothered about the 2% commission on bids coming in July?

@Daniel ah nice. He didn't have an instant sell when I looked the other day. Thanks.

I have Federico Fernandez for Newcastle. Never watched him play I think around 30 and I only bought for the super match day points which didn't work out well.

Also Mattia caldara and Miguel Guerrero also cheapies that look a bit shit now.

I agree with most on here that the simple fact is that they have changed the bet. Before they offered instant sell and now they don't. All everyone kept telling me was "sell up" if you don't like it. So I tried and managed to sell my bigger holds and from my 32k portfolio I now only have 3k invested in some donkeys that I can't shift (which I bought because of the super match points) and my trusty Ruben loftus Cheek, gundogan and silvan widmer (the last three I won't sell).

Covid was the real spoiler because fi weren't planning to roll out order books for months and we could have sold our smaller holdings fine but them shutting off instant sell immediately buggered us with smaller holds. Many people keep saying that they protected out ports but the reality is they protected themselves and I get it but people saying that we knew order books were coming in didn't know for nearly 2 years and to rush a matching engine isn't fair. Also the 2% commission on matched bids is another massive hit to our ports and unless I'm wrong that wasn't mentioned anywhere in the build up to orderbooks? That is enough for me to realise they can do what they like whenever they like.

FI keep changing the rules and it's very hard to plan your ports accordingly. If they open up the media worldwide this will change values, if they increase divs things change. The idea of a 3 year bet is very hard to forsee when we don't know what they have planned 2 weeks ahead let alone 3 years ahead.

I used to get that when I had battery saver on my phone. Turn it off if you have it on and you should be fine.

Does anybody think they should scrap the points for a game winning goal. I'm not sure I would give it the recognition that the matrix does personally.

@Spot-the-value. I think some people's portfolios will have lost more than 15%. Some people will be trading down the lower end of the market will have there 40p player having very bids about 13p. Not saying it's not there fault before I get lynched but it's the truth.

@Frank-Mole-Pepys I think we can only value them on the instant sell price -2% commission. Also when they bring in the 2% for buying the same thing will happen in terms of the spreads widening a lot. Our ports sadly lost a lot of value the moment the matching engine was put in place. When full order books come in people will realise how much they will have lost from there old portfolio values as prices will go down on a lot of players.

@Thatguy it will be interesting to see the chaos when this happens. I am buying some players with 50% off there market price knowing full well there isn't a lot of value in the price I bought at let alone market price! I am judging my port on my buy price not the current market "value"

@Dan-w she is very good.
