The FPL players who have been performing well in Football Index over Xmas


Sponsored by Football Index


The busy festive period is a tricky time for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

Get it right, and big hauls await. Get it wrong, and blanks abound, with this year’s Covid-based postponements meaning failures are more common than ever.

But is this the case for Football Index players as well?

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.

The Match Day Dividends (MDD) – the FI payouts based on individual Gameweek performances – frequently line up with the bigger FPL hauls some players bring in.

Over the Christmas period (Gameweeks 14 to 17), that has been the case, to a degree.

Where the similarities between the two games is even more marked is when we also factor in Media Dividends – those payouts based on the amount of coverage a player earns based on both their current performances and other factors such as transfer gossip.

So big Christmas performers such as Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who raked in 35 FPL points over those three matches, also did well on FI.

He earned nothing extra in MMD, but two first places in FI’s daily Media Dividends tables brought in 10p per Share for his owners.

That lack of MMD returns seems a touch strange, particularly considering he brought in a season’s best 17 points from the 6-2 win over Leeds in Gameweek 14.

But he was eclipsed on that day by Aston Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi, who scored 16 points in FPL as his side beat West Brom 3-0 – enough for him to take home the star player award in FI, which involved a massive 14p per share.

If either player had been bought by an FI Trader, however, they would have earned them extra money again from In-Play Dividends.

These are handed out to Traders for every goal, assist and clean sheet etc that their players produce during the first 30 days of ownership.

That’s a great way of earning rewards during a really busy time such as Christmas in the Premier League.

In fact, festive investment in the English domestic game is a particularly good idea as many of the other major European leagues that FI also features for Dividend payouts are currently on their Christmas breaks.

A quick look at the last ten days of MMD awards backs this up.

Five star awards and six best forward wins have gone to Premier League players. Even more recently, the last four defender and goalkeeper payouts have involved England-based assets.

Timing, however, is everything.

One of the best performers over the festive period has been Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka, who has accrued an impressive 19 FPL points from the two post-Christmas matches alone.

That has helped his FI Share Price push up from a mid-December low of around 90p to a New Year peak around the £1.50 level.

He’s also produced solid In-Play Dividends from a goal and two assists in those two matches.

Positive coverage in the press also saw him fall just short of winning Media Dividends on Wednesday.

There should be plenty more starring roles for the up-and-coming winger on the pitch in the future – and some back-page headlines to go with it.

    With Spurs not playing and only Salah (C) left to play, I can see that green arrow I had from yesterday's games turn to orange already.

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah (c) is plenty left

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I seriously hope.

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

      Yep, and what makes it worse is that the only reason people have Robertson and TAA is because they don't have Kane.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It’s a choice

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True.

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

        Not true.
        Have Salah/Bruno/Son and Kane with Robbo

    3. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wish I had Salah (C) left. Just regular ol' Salah with Kane (C).

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who's your vice?

        1. Konstaapeli
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Bruno

          1. Podge
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Not awful

            1. Konstaapeli
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah. Not great either.

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not bad. Salah scored lesser than Bruno last GW. Can happen again.

      Totally agree.

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

      So Mr. Clever Cloggs, how did you know the Spurs and City games would be postponed due to Covid. Was there an algorithm?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        There is but you wouldn’t understand it.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh I see, it's written in horse language.

    Difference between a casual and an experienced FPL manager when choosing a Leeds defender up to 4.5m

    A. Who scored last week? Alioski? Ok I’m bringing him in

    B. Alioski is far more nailed and it is only a matter of time when he plays as a fullback and gets attacking returns.

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B. Was meant to read Ayling. Haha!!

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        The difference between a casual and experienced poster right there 😉

    1. Top 210 Club

    Just opened a decent red wine to celebrate being able to field 10 players, and to get a little buzz on 🙂

    TAA, Robbo and Salah (C) lets go!

    Only second GW this season as a Salah owner. Feels much better than being a non-owner too 😀

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      aren't you posting for the first time ever?

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Let me enjoy the evening, please 🙂
        Your team looks great for next GW, and you'll still be ahead of me after those hauls from Robbo and TAA tonight 😉

    2. Rupert The Horse

          • 11 Years

          Gorgeous. A little light for me but how has that been sat around for so long?

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You might consider a name change

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Haha!
        Could be the time to change 😉

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't drink too much. You might end up taking a -48.

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'll most definitely not be making any transfers until around 1 hour before the deadline in the next many GW's 😀

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          10 minutes would be wiser.

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yes 😉 But then I would be scared of too much traffic on the site making it shut down or something 😀

            1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Wise

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Come on TAA Robo and Mane punish us Son and Kane owners.

  16. Tomm
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thank god I had banford as vc
    Shame son wasn't playing green arrow

  17. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like the average will be pushing 50 after autosubs.

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s pretty incredible isn’t it given the carnage

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

      crazy. leeds and saints cs points i guess...

  18. Salalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Castagne or Justin? Assuming both are nailed

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Justin is cheaper

      1. Salalalalah
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who gets more points though?

        1. ivantys
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not enough sample size to judge Castagne as he only played a few games.

  19. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So close to KDB and Douglas to Robertson and Raphinha. Already down 8 pts from not pulling the trigger. Written in the stars for Robbo to now haul

  20. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wilson haul incoming as I sold him for Wood..

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That a euphemism? 😉

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I need Wilson haul SOOO bad

  21. Homer21
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What a backline for Wilson to have a go at 😉

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Look at me, I have a new hat.

  22. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Those planning to FH in 18 are the biggest winners as they don't own any spurs, city players...

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        And now if they add more fixtures into 18, it's only gonna benefit those free hitters more so annoying.

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Imagine Salah score hattie tonight.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      that is red arrow even if he is your captain since mana taa robbo bobby will be part of those goals

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have TAA and 50 points already. No chance for red arrows.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Grey

    3. acidicleo
      • 7 Years

  27. Tomm
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Atleast Wilson playing tonight might get some lucky points from my bench

  28. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How' doesTAA vs Robbo EO compare?
    Can TAA owners punish Robbo owners badly?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Trent around 5% Robbo 25

  29. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Difference between a casual and an experienced FPL manager when choosing a Leeds defender up to 4.5m

    A. Who scored last week? Alioski? Ok I’m bringing him in

    B. Ayling is far more nailed and it is only a matter of time when he plays as a fullback and gets attacking returns.

    Question-

    Which camp are you in?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I remember comparing Ayling and Dallas in my gw5 wildcard, was not much between them and went with Ayling.

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        There still isn’t much between them once Ayling returns to his regular fullback position

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is it double up on Dallas?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I don’t have Dallas mate. Can’t afford him

    3. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Dallas, all day long

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Can’t afford Dallas

  30. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lewis cameo would be huge

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1pt is not huge! (owner!)

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It is this week

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Need exactly rhat. Newcastle 5 - 0 down with Salah hat trick. Lewis comes for 30 seconds and gets 1 point. 1 point is massive this GW.
