Football Index

Which FPL players have performed well in Football Index over the last year?


Sponsored by Football Index


It’s been a difficult year for all of us, but there’s always something to be found that can help lift the gloom.

And in the case of Football Index (FI), that something often involves two words: Bruno and Fernandes.

Football Index is a kind of stock market where people use real money to bet on football.

You buy shares in individual players whose value can rise or fall depending on their performance both on and off the field.

I’m actively using FI this season with more than a nod to FPL, seeing which aspects of each game marry up, and which don’t.

Looking at the performance of certain key players over the past 12 months, it’s fair to say that FI and FPL don’t always plough the same furrow.

But in Bruno Fernandes, the two share a poster boy.

Since joining Manchester United in January from Sporting Lisbon, the midfielder has been exceptional, racking up 219 points from 2,220 minutes of FPL action.

That’s roughly a point earned every 10 minutes, which compares very favourably to the 11.1 average of FPL’s highest scorer last season, Man City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, or the ever-consistent Mohamed Salah’s 12.3.

But while all three are FPL high-fliers, Fernandes’ performance is on another level over at FI.

He’s currently trading at around £6.11 per share, which represents a 139% increase over the year.

Even compared to one of football’s biggest ever stars, Lionel Messi, Fernandes is a cut above right now – the Barcelona man’s price is down 14% over the last 12 months despite a big jump in his share value when news that he could be leaving Spain kicked in over the summer.

But on FI, it’s not all about share price, with a variety of Match Day and Media Dividends providing traders with other opportunities.

Fernandes has proved to be a strong bet when it comes to Dividends, bringing in £2.88 in total Dividends per share – a whopping 103% year-on-year rise.

That gives him an overall Trading Performance (TP) figure of 242%, which is the highest of any player on FI.

Compare that to De Bruyne and Salah, whose TP totals for the year are -20% and -44% respectively.

Andy Robertson is another who has had a positive 12 months, enjoying upturns in Dividends (44%) and price (9%), leading to a very tidy +53% Trading Performance boost.

Robertson’s price is still lower than that of Trent Alexander-Arnold (£2.11 versus £2.91), who he has outperformed in Football Index this year.

As mentioned, Fernandes has FI’s best TP figure for the last 12 months.

But there are two other Premier League players in the top ten and they are, perhaps, surprising ones.

Coming in in seventh place, with a TP increase of 148% this year, is Aston Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez.

And in ninth, Chelsea stopper Edouard Mendy (+131%).

One of the major reasons for the pair’s excellent year is that goalkeepers in FI generally have a low share price – Martinez currently sits at around £0.42, Mendy at £0.65 – so a small rise in that value (relative to the likes of Fernandes) has a proportionally more dramatic effect.

It’s a great reminder that FI gains can be made from the lower-priced squad players, not exclusively in the Top 200 footballers with the likes of Bruno Fernandes.

    More possible to happen?
    A) Leeds keeping more than 1 CS till gw20
    B)Burnley keeping more than 2 CS till gw20

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years

      A

  2. The White Pele

    Thoughts about Martial?

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Great option in form he can match Rashford still DCL Bamford better value for money than Martial

      1. The White Pele
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Have DCl & Bam already. Thinking Chilwell & Watkins to Dallas & Martial for free.

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah it's great. Martial can be a long term hold imo with some great fixtures even after the DGW19

        2. Mufc202020
          • 4 Years

          Good transfers

        3. Bielsa Murderball

    Price rises pre dead line???
    I'm WCing in GW16 and keeping a close eye on price rises for my target players before the GW15 deadline... With my preferred BB squad I'll have 0.0 in the bank after the WC in GW16.
    Do you expect most people have transferred in their GW15 players already?
    Will most people switch off now between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day?
    Or could there still be a lot more transfer activity to come?

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Most people will do their moves Friday Saturday as always so they will be some price rises/falls for sure imo

    2. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      IMO there will always be a surge of transfers on the day or two before the deadline. Lots of players don't check the website in the middle of the gap, they do it until the scores are updated and then around the deadline.

      1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        If you're right and a lot of transfers are made on 26th pre deadline, that would be fine, I could WC in my BB team the same day, before price rises, I guess I'm hoping most people will have either made transfers already (to catch price rises) or will now wait until 26th.

  5. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who to bench, pick one:

    1. Coufal (BHA)
    2. Soucek (BHA)
    3. Dallas (BUR)

    Thanks

    1. The White Pele
      • 6 Years

      B

    2. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2, 1, 3. But it's close... Soucek has decent betting odds to score anytime, don't be put of his chance of attacking returns by his low price.

    3. Mufc202020

      no1

      1. fusen
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        From the league's they are a member of, I reckon they would probably consider themselves a casual

    2. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It makes me wonder if they have knowingly changed the way they play at all, or they are just doing what they have done every season and this year they've had the rub of the green.

      Not that it takes away from needing knowledge to successfully do consistently well at FPL, but shows a bad year can just be a bad year, the same a very good year can just be a very good year.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        There is hope for us all.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Not this season!

  7. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How many pts do you want from your Triple Captain to be satisfied?
    I can see Salah scoring around 18 pts in DGW19 but not sure yet if it's better than Bench Boost

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Assuming you have 4 BB players, that's 2x8 which is 16 merely through playing more than 60 minutes in DGW fixtures. Add returns to that and that should far outscore an 18 pointer from Salah, so IMO BB has far higher potential than TC.

      1. Abra Dubravka
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This. Good logic

      2. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        If the bench is Johnstone Dallas Taylor Soucek and also with a hit taken before it's too close to call...

        1. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          And remember Leeds defenders can always get negative points

        2. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          That's an individual issue, my comment was in general.

  8. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best option;

    A) Play Justin - home to Man Utd

    B) Coady to Coufal (-4)

    Thanks.

    1. Abra Dubravka
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A

  9. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Who should I start and who should I bench?

    Cancelo or Zouma?

    1. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one! I would look to get both in my team. But cancelo if I had to pick and zouma first sub

  10. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Apologies if this is been mentioned before but do we think that man united will now play in BGW18 due to the EFL cup???

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I haven't seen anyone mention this

    2. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This has been mentioned on here a lot over the last 24hrs but no official announcement yet. Likely to be mentioned this week if it's happening.

  11. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Some help/advice would be great please tia.

    Mcc Forster*
    Diaz Matip Coufal Targett Dallas
    Grealish Son Salah KDB Bruno
    Bamford Watkins* Brewster*
    0FT 0Itb

      1. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years

  18. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    I should know this, but haven't really been interested in going near Everton defence. Has Coleman been injured or just lost his spot to Godfrey?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Has been injured alongside Digne (that's the latest I know)

  19. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Really want to get TAA is by getting rid of Dias so worth doing this?

    Chillwell and Dias to TAA and Dallas for free?

    1. Werner Bremen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No, wouldnt ditch Dias

  20. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is KdB to Son in GW 16 worth two transfers, if I want KdB back for GW20. (Essentialy -4x2 because I wil need two hits in this period)

    GW15. GW16. GW17. GW18 GW19 GW20
    Son. Wolves Fulh. Leeds. FH. ShU. Liv
    KdB. New. Eve. Che. FH. Leic WestB

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That turner out wrong:
      Son: Ful, Leeds and ShU over KdB: EVE, Che and CryP for -8.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Jesus Christ.....turner= turned.

    2. I Member

      I'm doing it.

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      im planning the same but for Kane and wondering if its worth the -8 or not

      Im going to watch them this weekend and if spurs look sluggish like they did vs Leicester I might hold Kdb

  21. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    any updates on Chilwell? if i sell him it will be hard to get him back in....

    1. Tonyawesome69

      Expected to be out for at least two weeks (3GWs).

    Fellow BB19 managers, how many SGW players are you playing and who are they?

    1. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      prob Martinez, Son, Kane
      maybe DCL

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Getting Son in and keeping during 19. Dias and Grealish are also staying and no backup GK because I can't be faffed wasting transfers on that slot. So I guess 3? This is without WC

    3. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Martinez and Son.

  23. Dr Van Nostrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Quick query if we have 2 free transfers GW18 and play free hit. Do we drop to 1 in GW19?

    1. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bastids cheers

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Also be aware you lose a transfer going into 18 as well, if you want to make a transfer and also play FH it wont make the transfer so do any moves in 17.

  24. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Which for the double?
    A) Matip, Mane and Grealish
    B) Robertson, KDB and Raphinha

    1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B - because of KDB fixtures GW20+

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      B

  25. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Getting now and would be in BB in DGW19:

    A) Rodrigo (have Raphinha)
    B) Adams

    Stats and fixtures lean to Rodrigo, but would rather triple up with Raph, Bamford & Dallas... thoughts?

  26. Mika-eel
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Going without KDB in 18 if you not planning to FH?.

    Other option is swapping out Salah/Bruno and bringing him back for 19.

    Think I'll just have to trust one of the Spurs guys

  27. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Doubling up WHU Def with Balbuena along with Coufal instead of Taylor Dallas ?

  28. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is Balbuena Coufal double up with one being rotated with Taylor a good combo till DGW19?
