Football INDEX: Manchester City star becoming more valuable

Football INDEX is the world’s first football stock market where you can buy and sell shares in footballers with real money. Football INDEX offers fans a chance to bet on the future success of football players compared to the short-lived outcome of betting on football results.

Intrigued by what Football INDEX has to offer, but unsure whether to gamble your money? For a special time only, Football INDEX are now offering an improved 7-day risk free period where they will refund any deposits made within the first seven days of the first deposit. Usually, this is up to a total of £500, but by using the promocode ‘WHOSCOREDFI’ it will be £1000! Think of it as a trial period where you will effectively have up to £1000 to play with during your first week of trading.

Still undecided what footballers to add to your portfolio? Football INDEX even provides users with a handy tool to help you make informed decisions on trending players, located at the top right hand side of the home page. Share prices tend to fluctuate, but they aren’t just determined by player performance. Share prices can also increase based on the media attention a player receives on any given day of trading.

Everyday, Football INDEX highlights the five biggest market moves over a 24-hour period. Here are the current five:

1. MYKYTA BURDA (DYNAMO KYIV)

Dynamo Kyiv pulled off a shock 2-2 draw away to Lazio in the first leg of their Europa League knockout contest and are now in a strong position to eliminate the Serie A side.

22-year-old defender Mykyta Burda made his first appearance in Europe in the first leg and is expected to retain his starting berth when the Ukrainian side welcome Lazio this Thursday.

As a result, his Football INDEX share price has increased 37.48% in the last 24 hours of trading, making him the biggest market mover in that period. However, his share price is already starting to fall and it would be a mistake to add him to your portfolio now.

2. JONJO SHELVEY (NEWCASTLE)

Fresh from Newcastle’s 3-0 win over Southampton, there has been a lot of activity on Football INDEX surrounding Jonjo Shelvey.

The former Liverpool midfielder set up two of Newcastle’s three goals against Saint Mary’s and his Football INDEX share price has increased 33.43% to £0.74 a share as a result.

Shelvey has been in good form of late and that culminated against Southampton, where he notched his first assists of the season.

The Magpies have an affordable run-in and Shelvey will have to play an important part in those matches if they are to beat the drop, so it might be worth adding his shares to your Football INDEX portfolio.

3. MAXWEL CORNET (LYON)

With Nabil Fekir sidelined for the next few weeks, Maxwel Cornet will hope to benefit with a run in the Lyon first-team.

The 21-year-old has dropped down the pecking order since Bertrand Traore’s return from injury, but will hope for playing time in Lyon’s next few matches.

Cornet has been limited to just 17 starts in all competitions this season, but may have to settle for more time on the bench with Lyon expected to revert to a 4-3-3 formation in Fekir’s absence.

His Football INDEX share price has increased 10.81% in the last 24 hours though he might be worth swerving on this occasion.

4. DAVID SILVA (MANCHESTER CITY)

David Silva turned in another huge performance for Manchester City on Monday night as Pep Guardiola’s side moved even closer to securing the Premier League title.

The Spain international finished Monday’s action as the media buzz winner, top scoring midfielder and overall point scorer and his Football INDEX share price has only increased as a result.

Up 7.54% in the last 24 hours, Silva’s share price currently stands at £2.51 and it might be worth adding the 32-year-old to your portfolios for the rest of the season.

Silva has scored or assisted in each of his last four appearances, playing a direct hand in five goals in that time (four goals, one assist). In fact, that is as many as his previous 13 matches combined.

5. SANDRO WAGNER (BAYERN MUNICH)

With Robert Lewandowksi a yellow card away from a one-match ban in the Champions League, Jupp Heynckes may look to rest his star striker when Bayern Munich take on Besiktas on Wednesday in the second leg of their last 16 tie.

Bayern are already 5-0 up from the first leg and there is no reason to risk losing Lewandowski for the next round, which should pave the way for Sandro Wagner to start in midweek.

The 30-year-old averages a Bundesliga goal every 93.3 minutes for Bayern and will be looking to notch his first Champions League goal for the club if given the chance against Besiktas.

His Football INDEX share price has increased 7.53% in the last 24 hours and is worth jumping on ahead of their next match.
