Lord Azzy wrote:Good morning candidates, and welcome to your second task.
The online football stock market "Football Index" has been making waves in the last 12 months, increasing their users and presumably making a packet in the process. For those unfamiliar with the premise, users buy and sell shares in real-life football players, and trade those shares based on the market prices, which goo up and down depending on a variety of factors.
Your task is to submit a team of eleven players you believe would see the biggest increase on Football Index over the next 12 months. You must use a 4-3-3 formation, and must include a minimum of four different nationalities amongst our team. I will be the sole judge of your submission and so you must both familiarize yourself with Football Index's system, and make your case for each player accordingly.
The deadline for your submissions is Thursday 20 June 2019 at 11:59 and from the losing team, at least one of you will be fired.
I am going to change the teams up:
Team Unicorn: Dolph, Nadz, Renege (one of you three must be Team Leader), BamBam (cannot be Team Leader)

Gaston Pereiro has gone up 16% too, I should’ve invested when I went through it

Happy for any to be eliminated or added to, but we really need to make a decision today if we're going to have something written up for the submission tomorrow lunchtime
Maignan
Lirola/Porro
Kabak
Saliba
Firpo
Sangare
Tonali
Havertz
Lozano
Bamba
Dolberg
I have included Lozano as it looks like he is close to joining Napoli. And Dolberg could be a good investment as last year there was a lot of hype around him and it looks like he has been overshadowed by De Ligt and De Jong at Ajax so could be the best time to pick him up.

My picks would all be based on low cost high quantity to get big % gains at lower risk of a tumble. Don’t get buying guys who are very close to top of charts already
Cragno - 28p, in latest Italy squad, best per whoscored in Europe. Linked away. Best keepers only seem to be about 50p
Lirola - young, small club, most fb assists in Italy
Stark - Same as above and linked with move
Hermoso - Linked away
DiMarco - Bossed left side for Italy u21s against Spain
Lobotka- Could get move
Bennacer - Same but Empoli relegates so likely to move
Rafinha - Likely to move. Could be next Andre Gomes if he moves to Prem
Correa - Could get more hype this season, very highly rated in Argentina and still more to come from him
Florinel Coman - Wildcard but Romania u21s started brilliantly and he’s one of stars. Could get hype if they do well, Foden Ikone got big rises today on back of u21s
J.Cordoba - Long term investment based on his age, Bundesliga 2 form and big money moves in past

Why don't we mix up the two approaches? That way we've got everyone's input, and the best chance of impressing Azzy with the breadth of thought that's gone into it?
Think it's ultimately Nads call, but that's what I would do

You are the expert at footballindex bam so I understand where you are coming from with those low risk players above. A mixture of those 2 approaches is a good idea. I will leave it to you lot to finalise the final team as I won't be on in the morning so if one of you can submit the task in I'd appreciate it. Good luck lads.

- Submission:
- This is Team Unicorn's submission for Task 2 of the Azzrentice.
Our general approach was to avoid focusing on players who already have a ton of media hype and buzz, who have already seen substantial price rises the past season. We think there is a strong possibility that these players have already seen the bulk of their price rises, and will now either level off or even drop in price as the next big thing comes to mind next season.
We've tried to pick players who are at the bottom of their respective position's prices, but have strong potential for growth, either because they are decent possibilities for moves away or because we think their performances will lead to performance dividends, which will subsequently drive price growth from the more analytical Football Index trader
We've ended up with a decent mix of relatively unknown players as above, and those who have previously been very strongly hyped but may have slightly stalled in their progress. Traders on the index are very reactionary to the next big thing, and these players are often undervalued, but people will be quick to jump back on if these players show their undoubted talents early next season.
We've very much enjoyed the task, and look forward to your questions
GK - Alessio Cragno - Current Price - 28p
Currently in latest Italy squad, best per whoscored in Europe. Has been strongly linked to a move away. The best goalkeepers seem to be priced at around 50p, so we've chosen someone with the potential to get to that level rather than someone more established who has limited potential for price growth
RB - Pol Lirola - Current Price - 49p
Recently linked with a move to Arsenal, Lirola is the type of young, currently at a small club, top 5 league player who often picks up a lot of buzz on Football Index under the radar. The fact he had the most fb assists in Italy this season is an added bonus
CB - Niklas Stark - Current Price - 40p
Similar profile to Lirola, young and at a smaller club. He's been linked to big moves in the past, and we think there is plenty of room for him to grow in price and be linked with a move to the PL. As he was unfortunately injured at the end of last season, his price levelled off from the growth it was seeing. We'd expect that to continue with a successful return
CB - Dayot Upamecano - Current Price - £1.12
Upamecano is our pick to be next season's big moving defender. This season we've seen the likes of Lucas Hernandez, Eder Militao and shortly Matthijs De Ligt grow massively in price off the back of being linked and completing moves to the biggest clubs in the world. Upamecano fits that profile to a tee, he's already proven himself in one of the big leagues, and is getting the exposure this summer with the U21 tournament. At the very least we think he could perform as Militao did, with a 100% price rise from the start of last season to now
LB - Federico DiMarco - Current Price - 40p
Another youngster with huge potential, he's already on the books at Inter Milan, who with the upmost respect for Kwadwo Asamoah, are hardly the strongest at left back. With Conte coming in, a well rounded left back who can fit the LWB role like DiMarco has shown the potential to is a pretty strong shout for future price growth. He showed what he can do by bossing the left side for Italy u21s against a Spain side fielding the highly rated Aguirregabiria and Soler on that side
DM - Sandro Tonali - Current Price - £1.12
£1.12 seems a pretty strong price for a youngster who has been playing in Serie B this season, but the potential here is massive for the "New Andrea Pirlo". We think he'll either get a move this summer, and be linked to all of the biggest clubs in Italy, or he'll show his enormous talent throughout the 2019/20 season, and be heavily linked to all the biggest clubs in Europe. Either way, he's one of the ones to watch next season and we think his FI price will reflect that
CM - Stanislav Lobotka - Current Price - 49p
Lobotka saw an increase in price recently when the rumours of a move to West Ham were floating around. That didn't come to fruition, and his price has reset, we think there is potential there for a move to be done this summer, as he's a very talented player. We see him as being the type of player to get a move to a higher profile club this summer, then really show his talents and be strongly linked to another move next year.
CM - Ibrahim Sangare - Current Price - 89p
Barcelona, Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton - these are just some of the clubs that the "new Yaya Toure" has been linked to over the past few months. We see him as being the next Ndombele from a Football Index point of view. Our very own BamBam has made over 200% return on Ndombele since October, and we think Sangare has the potential to do similar, especially if he gets a move this summer. There is a long standing tradition of producing dominant central midfield players in Ligue 1, all of whom have moved for big money - one of our favourite picks
FWD - Federico Chiesa - Current Price - £1.81
Chiesa has a famous name and is more than living up to it. He's been a favourite of the v2 fantasy leagues since his breakthrough, and we tend not to be too far wrong. Its almost inevitable he'll move to Juventus at some point, so we aren't necessarily thinking of media buzz driving his price, we think his performances will lead to goal contributions and performance dividends. If he wants that move to happen sooner rather than later, he needs to really carry Fiorentina this season. Bold proclamations by the chairman of not even selling him for 100m euros will also help get him noticed
FWD -Angel Correa - Current price - 53p
Correa is at a crucial point of his career. Griezmann is probably off, while the next big thing in Joao Felix is going to come into the side this season. We think there is an opportunity for Correa to make waves at the start of the season, while Felix acclimatises himself to the demanding setup at Atletico. Correa could have a big impact early on, and then be linked to transfers throughout the season, while still being a valuable member of the attack. The playing time will always be there, with Felix being young and Costa being ever volatile
FWD - Leon Bailey - Current Price - £1.32
12 months ago, Bailey was 20p higher priced than Kai Havertz - the youngster has gone on to have a storming season and shot up to over £3 on the index. Bailey is an amazing talent, the links to Chelsea and other PL clubs won't go away, and he has the opportunity of showing his skills in the CL next season. We think he'll prove his ability, and once again be one of the most talked about wingers in Europe, with a price rise to go along with it
This is the best I've got, can't really do much more given I've only been involved for a day. Feel free to change whatever you think needs doing, otherwise I'll submit at lunchtime

Very well put together Bam, I like it
Cant believe the other team have put Aribo in it, didn’t think players moving to Scotland would get any hype!

I've said for a long time that with the knowledge we have on here there is a hell of a lot of money to be made
I went for the most obvious players and have returned 85%, imagine what a bit of thought would have done

You think we should have a v2 setup? Each of us put £10 into a pot?
