My port has become stagnant, probably like many I'm in limbo, can't do anything. Can't even sell up without a big loss. Many of us reshaped when the matching engine was introduced, and the effect of COVID. I got all my players 15-20p under what was then their market values. Since then most players have tanked with players stuck in sell queues, IS spreads are huge so it is impossible to sell unless you want big losses, even at Market sell, no one wants to buy a full priced player. How are order books going to help that? Forgive me if I have missed something, as I haven't been staying focused (lost interest) with developments. Are in play dividends going to be enough for people to go and buy a full priced player, don't think so, surely other incentives need to be added. When will prices recover? It's fine for anyone just coming into FI, until the next evolution of the platform. Right now i can't see how order books alone will change my position.

Yes echoing a lot of traders thoughts here. They will have to do a net buy bonus when sell orders come I think. But yes overall they've screwed existing portfolios up with gk introduction. Putting an article out soon on how I've traded since the announcement.
Be interesting to read that. They keep moving the goalposts. How and when are they going to help long established traders? Do we try and sell up and restart, or wait for order books and then cut losses? I'm keeping off until something is done, or I'll just quit and move what's left elsewhere 😉.
90% of my port is up for sale with a mind to removing all deposits and some profit and then have a small gk port with a few outfield era kept too. As it stands I see no point holding a lot of my port, there's no room for growth on many and too much fear of a no sell later down the line on the rest.
I fear the same. If there is no outlet to purchase players at market value all orders books will do is drive the market down.
Like others have said list to market and keep your fingers crossed something happens to entice someone to buy. My port is made up of a lot of £1 ish players that I thought were good buys at the time. If you need the money quick I’m sorry but I can’t see you getting it anytime soon. I’m confident I’ll get out by Christmas 😂
Something up with the index forum?
Yeh been closed for about 16 hours now. Maintenance apparently... I'd imagine some rules being put in place and maybe some new features or they needed to clear some space etc.
Cheers. just had the media review email. It’s not really going to affect my port but could devalue Bruno etc.

Yeh not sure I trust their statement that removing "United" doesn't affect utd players much lol.
Still no sign of the forum opening😂 It doesn’t give me much confidence for going forward if they can’t leave the forum open. Anyone shifted players lately?
Mandi, Guerreiro, Geubells, Paulinho all gone or nearly gone. Might try and buy back Guerreiro though.
