Gerrard was owned by nearly 30,000 teams - if only 2000 have sold him so far it would mean his value could plummet to zero if evryone sold him . Personally , I can't see that situation being allowed to happen given that they have said price changes will not be overly dramaticSpencer4 wrote:I'd have thought he'd have left maybe 2,000 teams at most.andye wrote:How many net transfers do you reckon it takes to push a players price up or down a million ?
10,000 maybe ?
That would mean 10,000 people sold Gerrard before last Thursday and 5,000 in the last week
Any thoughts ?

Re: Player values
But if that theory is correct it means there have been significant net-buys of the likes of Gerrard and Ronaldo in the last 7 days?Not So Special One wrote:Today's price changes have to reflect net transfers for the whole season, as they are the first to be published officially.
The price changes you saw last week were for the whole season up to then, but since they were made public by accident and quickly withdrawn, transfers in and out continued to be made using the values from before the season began.

Re: Player values
What you quoted isn't theory but fact, right? What part of it is not fact? The theories are whatever explanations and conclusions we may come up with to try to make sense of the facts.
It will be interesting to see how often price changes are posted - daily or weekly - and what they amount to, now the first, abnormal set of changes is out of the way.

Re: Player values
But the suggestion from AndyE above was that the price changes last night reflected net transfers in the last 7 days (as per his email from clever TV/GFF). Though, of course, the email could be read as suggesting that normally price changes will be net transfers in the last 7 days (since the last round of price changes) but this initial round of changes was from the beginning of the season.Not So Special One wrote:What you quoted isn't theory but fact, right?

If last week's mistakenly publised stats were an accurate reflection of the prices at that point in time then I do find it surprising that Ronaldo and Gerrard have been net-purchased since the publication of those stats. Perhaps it was an algorithm which they subsequently refined?

Apart from this (spurious) logic, you haven't offered any argument as to why these price changes reflect the whole season (not that I can see anyhow).
Given that... a) we know that price changes will usually reflect transfer activity in the last 7 days (from the website),
b) The Saint's perfectly reasonable questioning as to why anyone would ship in Ronaldo in the last week (Gerrard might be more explainable, since there have been rumours about him starting on Sat - people hoping to get him (back) before his price falls?)...
The onus would fall on you to demonstrate why the 7 day 'theory' can't be correct. I think it was Spencer4 who questioned why anyone would make transfers this week: well, because of the price rises kicking in. Whether or not it will prove to be a 'waste', as you suggest, is yet to be seen, but I made a series of transfers last night, to improve my team while taking advantage of the likely risers (and Not So Special One has stated that he did the same). I'd imagine a fair amount of people did the same.

Think my team is currently about 15 mil under budget but still performing fairly well.

Re: Player values
Torres falls by another 0.4M this week despite being back from injury and scoring again Surely people will start buying now or at least stop selling?

Re: Player values
The irrationality of this market continues to frustrate me. I prudently ditch the injured Huth and Nosworthy but their prices continue to rise
I'm also rather amused about the Guardian's/cleve tv claim in an email to me that price rises would be 'modest'. Zaki has now risen by 2.8M in only a few weeks. It has not been unusual for players to rise or fall by a million in a week.

Re: Player values
Am I right in thinking the player values haven't changed yet this week? I thought they changed in the early hours of Thursday morning?

Re: Player values
So did they just not bother to update the prices this week? Or maybe it's just all my players stayed the same.
Strange.

Yet again values haven't been updated when they said they would. It is getting pretty annoying now.

Re: Player values
I have no reply to my email on the subject. If they are changing the time of the increases to Sunday night/Monday morning or to a random when they feel like it they should make that clear.

It is run by Not-very-Clever TV.
Its stock in trade seems to be making nothing clear.
