  • Episode 40: Marketing, ROI, New Managers & World Cup Inflation With FI Profit Hunter

    First up, Profit hunter talks us through his Football Index journey. What were his best and worst trades? What strategies did he use to exit his best trades?

    Next, we discuss in depth FI's current and future marketing plans. What are his thoughts on the upcoming seasons' Sky Sports ads? Was the Sweepstake the best use of £100k? How would he have used the money if he was head of marketing?

    You may remember Ep. 36. with Tom from WGTA where we discussed how useful FPL knowledge is for FI, and this time we talked about Football Manager. Does it help to unearth some hidden gems? We then go on to talk about the impact new managers could have on PB. How will Sarri, Emery and Ancelotti fair when it comes to Football Index?

    After that we talked all about the market post-World Cup, is it inflated? Or have the price of average players just increased? James talks us through his thoughts!

    Next, we talk about ROI...are we getting less bang for our buck? Or are the opportunities still there?

    We then go on to talk about newbies and give some great advice. What's the best strategy to take on when first starting out?

    Finally, I ask James what price rises and declines have surprised him the most recently!

  • Episode 39: How to Value Players Featuring AgatelloFI

    First up we talk about Agatello's index journey. What makes the forum so great? Why did he start analysing IPO players?

    Next, I asked how he's going about picking PB players for next season. What variables are at play that one should weight up when purchasing/selling a player?

    This led us on to talk about how to value a player. Is it via comparable value? Or against dividend yield? Either way this conversation actually got us talking about Paulo Dybala as we profiled him!

    I then went on to ask Agatello if there are any world cup tips that went for/against him? I also asked if there were any IPO players that he would like to be seen promoted!

    One great topic of conversation was how we'd change the IPO system to make it fairer....this created a really interesting discussion!

  • Episode 38: World Cup Comp Winner FootyIndex102 Talks Average Prices, Mbappe & PB for Next Season

    First up, we go through Alex's journey and more importantly why his name changed from Footyindex 101 to...102? What did he do to move up a notch! He gives us an idea of what mistakes he made and how that made him a better trader.

    Next up, we discuss average prices and why they don't really matter all too much. Conversely we then discuss why some traders 'encourage' drops in a player! This then leads us on to talk about a few different buying/selling techniques!

    Last week we talked about the 'young player bubble' so we talked about the most expensive young player on the index; Kylian Mbappe. Where will his price go from here? Why is he currently so attractive for investors?

    Now it'd be rude not to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo's potential move to Juventus and what impact that would have so we discussed the potential implications for his personal returns, how much better/worse Juventus as a team could be with him and finally what happens to Real Madrid from a PB standpoint.

    Finally, we talked about picking players for PB next season. I asked Alex what his research techniques are, and what thesis he comes to which then encourages him to buy players that suit that thesis.

  • Episode 37: Football Index Info (Chris) Talks Upcoming Market Cycles, Youngsters & Could Neymar hit £20?

    First up, we talk about upcoming market cycles. We're going to have 20 days (yes 20!) of triple media between the 15th July and the 10th of August, so are transfer linked players going to see some big action? With the Premier league and Ligue 1 start on the 11th of August, La Liga starting on the 18th of August, and Serie A and Bundesliga beginning on the 19th and 24th of August respectively- when will PB players take over? Are people Sleeping on the Champions league and Europa League that start in mid september? Considering the massive rises we saw in the likes of Koke and Ronaldo last season, Chris thinks so....

    Next up we talk about the 'Young Player Bubble'.....why are some young players so high in price? Chris and I try and put some logic into the equation...

    Afterwards we get down and dirty with some maths, what price could Neymar eventually get to? Could we ever see a £20 Neymar?

    Finally, we talk about other indices...could Football Index be NFL/NBA index in the future? Chris and I discuss future possibilities...

  • Episode 36: Tom From WGTA Talks Being a FI Newbie

    Tom and I start talking about being a newbie on the index. What does it look like from the outside in? What did Tom enjoy or dislike about the onboarding process? We discuss how FI may have a job on their hands in regards to a) getting customers on to the platform and b) keeping them on it. I asked him what he'd change, and this led to a deep dive into none other than the PB scoring matrix! Always a polarising subject.....

    Next, we talk about his profession in spread betting and how that's helped him on the index. I also ask him to critique the FI business model in comparison to his experience in the finance industry.

    We talk about the goal oriented nature of FI, and how it's quite different from FPL. We indexers don't really celebrate clean sheets or assists as much as FPL lovers, but is that a good thing or not? Tom and I discuss this at great length and it led to a great discussion!

    Lastly, we had a question from twitter about the research in FPL and how it compares to FI when it comes to finding gems....Tom gives a great cross examination!

  • Episode 35: Football Index King Talks Share Split, Spreads & Order Books

    Football Index King and I talked about the 3 things on everyone's minds:

    • Order Books: What are they? How will they work? Will it be positive or negative for the platform?
    • Spreads: Why are they currently how they are? Are they necessary? Have Football Index got the balance between trade volume and potential liability?
    • Share Split: Now King and I were at polar opposites of the the spectrum about the share split, but we kind of met in the middle after a while! One thing is for certain however, the debate will rage on forever about whether or not another share split should happen!

      • Episode 34: Matthew Santangelo Joins for a World Cup Preview

        First up, Matt and I discuss who the surprise packages at the World Cup, both teams and players. Could Croatia and Senegal cause upsets? Who's going to be the 'James Rodriguez' of this tournament? On the other hand- who's going to fail to deliver? Will France and Belgium crumble under the pressure?

        Next up, will Belgium be the next Spain, or the next England? With so many individual talents, the pressure on Belgium is high- but can they find the cohesion and chemistry to take them far into the tournament? Matt and I have our say!

        Neymar is most certainly going to be talk of the tournament, but will this be his World Cup? Will he lead Brazil to glory and finally stamp his name in history? Or will Brazil flatter to decieve. Their squad is most certainly stronger this time around, but will we see them finally replicate the winning mentality their 2002 squad have?

        It would be a shame if Matt came on the pod and didn't discuss Serie A players, so I asked him what Serie A players will be stars at the World Cup. We discuss Luca Torreira, Arkadiusz Milik and various other italian based players who could have a great impact on the tournament.

        Next, we talk about Leroy Sane and how he was left out of the World Cup final 23! The PFA young player of the year was dropped from the Germany squad, and we discuss why this may have happened- and whether or not Germany could regret it.

        Finally, we had to talk about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Who will have the better tournament? Who will lead their team to glory? Find out what Matt had to say about the two best players on the earth at the moment.
