underlined the GW when I owned him

only got 3 assists from him in 10 gws, and four 1p-CS, for a 3.3ppg
I had 2FT before GW23, and had thought about selling him before he fell in price below my last purchase price,
but I couldn't resolve who to replace him with, so let the saved FT go to waste, and lost 0.1m
because FFS always project him amongst the top gw scorers
-28k NTI today already
FPLS and FFFix predict him as a sure faller tonite (oddly not CTC yet)

Early reports suggest six weeks. Should have a more definitive timescale on Friday morning, apparently.

I'm hoping any subsequent fall comes after the weekend when we finally know what is happening with dgws.

Re: Do you think it is time to drop De Bruyne
Yep, above posts spot on.
So can still drop, but less likely to drop tonight that he was when the flag was yellow. Not sure if the price change sites have taken this into account yet - as per liquid, FFIX look like they have.
Extra detail: No price protection. I believe the current understanding is that the Net Transfer balance will also remain, but the drop targets will be adjusted to a larger multiplier (for a red flag something like 2.5x the usual number of transfers out required for a drop, compared to something like 1.25x for the yellow flag).LAMPS27 wrote:Does this mean his price is protected or will he fall tonight?liquidfootball2 wrote:Red flagged now

Re: Do you think it is time to drop De Bruyne
Yes that drop from minus 138 to minus 82 seems to be overestimating the percentage a little as it was dropping at around four % per hour. Would have expected it to go back to around minus 72.
-138 - 4 = -142, 142/2 =71 so -82 seems a little high

If his price drop percentage is overstated at 82%, are you saying that realistically he's probably on 72% so he has some going to change tonight?
Currently at 2.80% p/hour so 8 odd hours to 2am = 22%.
If it really is 72% then he will just miss a drop?
I'm guessing that per hour % change will probably go up though. Not sure I want to move him out now just in case but his next drop hurts me.

Re: Do you think it is time to drop De Bruyne
no, the threshold is represented by a 100% target
if his Net Transfers were beyond the threshold, but then the threshold gets increased, suddenly the same amount of Net Transfers falls inside the threshold
FFFix reports the hourly rate, wich can be rather volatile
currently I see him at -82.1% with a trend of -2.80%/h and a prediction of "tonite"
given there are 5-6hrs before the nightly update, IF he keeps the current rate he might lose a further 14-17%, which would leave him just short of 100%
maybe the changes time occurs a bit later this season? I thought 1am gmt, could be 2am
of course the selling rate might increase around or after dinner time, but maybe it can't be sustained till the wee hours
FPLS still has him at -109.0%
CTC had -62% this afternoon, and -10% now with -50k NTI today (but CTC widely differs from the other two sites in the handling of thresholds and resets indeed)
imho it's "possible" that he won't fall tonite, but it's "likely" he will

Re: Do you think it is time to drop De Bruyne
I bought him at 10m, so I can luckily absorb one more drop before it further dents my selling price. Hopefully tonight/tomorrow will be the last time he drops before the weekends cup games are done, as I won't be moving him on until then.

Indeed. I threw him in as potentially rewarding at the start of the new year, literally minutes before he scored against Liverpool. Now would be the time to live up to my words and get him in.

If it hadn't happened last night it definitely would tonight and we're unlikely to know anything more today.
