Trying to sell two of my underperforming wonderkids, Lucas Paqueta and Diego Lainez.

Good news - there is no queue as they started selling right away on Friday.

Bad news - I am selling, on average, 3 futures a day 😴😴😴😴

Are you worried about Paqueta joining a non PB league?

@Westy

Good article and site looking good.

I broke my own rules and made a 15k deposit yesterday (my last deposit was October and meant to be my last) and had a 30 minute spending spree. Spent the lot on PB players, plus one cheap promotion hopeful, and not an out and out MB player amongst them.

So much value in the PB players. Short term with 8.25% bonus, mid term most should see at least 25% CA in the next 6 months and long term with Euro 21 and a winter World Cup 22.

Keep up the good work...

I saw you on the ticker at that time and was nodding in appreciation at your choices of players as I own a fair few. Good luck with your investment.

Same spread as Ndicka who was included in the pump and dump screenshot conversation.

@Dan-w thanks mate. I just went off Index Gain.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I can finally access the forum through the new website now as I had some technical issues that FI have fixed.

I actually think centre backs are ideal for the new promotion. Rotated and substituted less than other players for example.

I have topped up some more on Skriniar, Tah, Diego Carlos and Kimpembe as they all have 7 games in February and the fixtures don't look too bad. No point buying for a quick flip but worthwhile as part of a longer term purchase.

I have been looking for value after the transfer window. The obvious risers will be Champions League, Europa and Euro 2020. Hopefully you will be on those players already. Longer term my recommendation is centre backs for the following reasons:

1. As the season draws on and games become more important I can see full backs not being as attacking. That will help negate the overpowered crosses on the current matrix.

2. Recent games have started to see more centre back goals which have been lacking this season. Van Dijk and Lejeune spring to mind. Diego Carlos at Seville scored back to back goals recently. Varane got a brace for Real Madrid recently and won dividends too.

3. I have looked at defender yields this season and whilst there are more full backs in the top 28 defenders on index gain it is surprisingly even. Players over 50p is 15 FB to 13 CB so nearly half. At players over £1 it is still 15 FB to 12 CB. I didn’t scroll down any further. I am happy to provide screenshots.

4. Centre Backs have largely remained unchanged in price all season and some quality internationals such as Tah, Akanji and Marquinhos are down. This is due to the revised matrix this season. Quality Centre Backs in PB leagues still involved in European competition and Euro 2020 can be bought for less than £1.

5. Football Index have been suggesting team of the week or month bonuses .Adam Cole certainly mentioned it regarding rewarding long term performance. Whilst the format is unknown this weeks team of the week contained 2 centre backs so with 4 defenders potentially winning dividends then there is a better chance for centre backs to win.

6. The feeling with the current matrix is that crosses are to important which is why full backs have gone up so much. My gut feeling is that the matrix will be tweaked after Euro 2020 in good time for the new season and that it will be beneficial for centre backs and goals scorers such as Haaland, Aguero and Acardi who don’t get to involved in build up play. FI love volatility and a new PB matrix will help.

@FIGenesis you still think fekir is a decent investment? Holding at a big loss and was expecting him to do well at betis...but has had no rise as of yet.

I got excited when he scored a GWG last game and he got a PB of 190 but no movement. Hopefully the players who moved clubs are starting to settle (Skov last night) and we will see some big scores soon.

I sold Zaniolo as he doesn't seem to cut it with the new PB matrix. He has been nowhere near winning it despite getting GWG recently.

I hold the other 3 and Pulgar seems the best at getting top PB scores currently.

Hasn't he missed the highest amount of big chances in Europe's top 5 leagues which will hurt his PB. I suppose you could say he could convert those 1 game and win a 16p dividend but his PB performance has always been poor and Athletico aren't exactly known as a PB team I'm afraid so not for me.
