Simple!
A player or club
increases their performance
or popularity,
their price goes up.
They don't, their price drops.
Buy Low and Sell High
Each user begins with
$10,000
in virtual money.
Invest in the correct stocks and you will see your portfolio rise in value.
If you have a hunch on a player or club, buy low and sell when you think their value can't rise much higher.
Stock Prices
The basis on how prices are evaluated is as follows:
Performance Value
Only home & away
and
finals
matches count towards the performance value of
a player or club.
-
Players:
Based on their performances in their most recent matches,
with each more recent match having a higher
influence on their share price.
How the player performs compared to the rest
of the competition will have a large bearing on their share price.
-
Clubs:
Based on recent matches played, with each more recent match having
a much higher influence on their share price.
Popularity
The more popular the player and clubs are among users,
the higher the share price is driven.
If investors jump off the wagon of a particular stock,
the price will be sent spiralling downwards.
Experience
A player's experience has a bearing on their
share price. The more experienced a player is,
the higher the price can get.
Draftees
The higher the draft pick, the more valuable the stock.
Rookies and any draft players' initial values are based
on what number they got picked up in the drafts.
Stock Limits
You can buy as many
different stocks as you wish.
The maximum number of shares in any one particular
player or club that you can own is
1,000.
Stock Lockouts
When a match is in progress, players and clubs
participating in that match are locked out -
you cannot buy or sell them.
Lockouts begin just before the match starts
and end shortly after a match has finished.
The performance values - and hence the
price - of players and clubs will be
updated before a lockout ends.
Transaction Fees
A
Seller Fee
applies when selling a stock.
This is an extremely small fee
which stops investors from buying
a stock then selling it as soon
as the stock's price has risen due to its increase
in popularity.
There are no transaction fees when buying a stock.
