Have never really fully got into IPD chasing. Tried it a few times and feels like I got burnt like traditional betting on a couple (at least my whole stake wasn't lost!). Most annoying was that I was right about Morata's return from injury and him going to bang all the goals in, but in my 30 days he scored once, the next 30 he scored about 8! So now I'm back to just seeing them as a bonus or possible cashback on a mid/long term buy.
I think the next few pay day boosts will still be PB stars orientated as agreed by those on the FIGpodcast @The-FIG chat 'in the pub' episode. There is still a lot of value to be had in the pedigree PB players, even after their rises. With further rumors of a future reward to be added in about long term performance, this could be PB based, or maybe rewarding players that just don't suit the matrix, but do score highly in other rankings e.g. sofascore or whoever the website is where it looks like FI are now working with- it will add even more value.
So looking at topping up/buying players (even ones I've previously held and sold before!) now before the pay day rises. Especially with a few dips, from the IPO onslaught and the international break, on some pedigree PB players. And which ones might be playing lots of games to hopefully give some cashback from IPDs.
Looked at whether there were any fixture advantages and can share this below. Hope it's useful:
S= Single game days D= Double game days (Rest are triple).
If you buy tonight:
Dortmund = 8 games, 3S, 2D
Bayern = 8 games, 3D
Hoffenheim = 8 games, 3S
RB Leipzig = 8 games, 1S, 2D
Etienne = 8 games
Wolfsburg = 8 games
Lyon = 8 games, 4D
Arsenal = 8 games, 2S
Man City = 8 games, 3D
Leverkusen = 8 games, 3D
Barcelona = 8 games, 3D
Lille = 8 games, 2S, 4D
PSG = 8 games, 1s, 3D
Wolves= 8 games, 1D
Metz = 8 games, 1D
Rennes = 8 games, 1D
If you buy tomorrow: (most, if not all of the above are still in the window too)
Frankfurt = 8 games, 1S, 3D
Chelsea = 8 games, 4D
Real Mad = 8 games, 4D
Man Utd = 8 games, 2D
Spurs = 8 games, 4D
Monaco = 8 games, 4D
And just slightly further ahead (I don't know if games can still be moved...but):
Buy on the 28th Nov and get 9 games (4D) for Man Utd.
So looking at that- who do you buy? For PB? For just IPD?
