As is the case with any traditional stock market, the prices on Football INDEX are determined by supply and demand.
It’s therefore unsurprising that the likes of Neymar (£15.77 per share) and Lionel Messi (£14.08 per share) are the most costly players on Football INDEX. Messi is the highest WhoScored rated player in Europe’s top five leagues this season (8.41), while Neymar is the third (8.22).
Conversely, share prices will fall if traders sell stock in a player. For example, at the time of writing, Lazio midfielder Luis Alberto’s Football INDEX share price has decreased the most (-£0.09).
The 26-year-old scored 11 goals and provided 14 assists in 34 league games last season but has failed to rediscover that form this time around.
Alberto has only returned one goal in seven league games so far this season and his WhoScored rating is only 6.86, compared to 7.69 last term. Understandably, traders are distancing themselves from Alberto, resulting in a share price drop.
Share prices are also impacted by Match Day performance and Media attention. Match Day rankings are based on player performance on a given day across the top leagues in Europe, the Champions League and Europa League and other eligible competitions, such as the World Cup.
Using the Football INDEX Scoring matrix, a top performing defender, midfielder and attacker will be awarded at the end of the day, as well as a star player, which comes from one of the aforementioned categories.
It’s important to note you have to purchase shares in a player before 14:00 to be eligible to win dividends on that day. Dividend pay-outs will then be awarded and the total fee will depend on how many shares you have.
Media rankings are curated across all UK online football news, where the most talked about players will be ranked. The top three will be eligible for dividend pay-outs, as high as £0.08 a share.
