About the Club

Loans

Loans allow the club to raise additional funds for investments, transfers or day-to-day operations. Taking a loan credits the club balance in the "Other" category, and every repaid installment debits the same category.

Loan rules:

  • The club can take a loan at any time, provided it has no other active loan.
  • The standard interest rate is 5% per week, while the first loan in the club's history benefits from a promotional 3% weekly rate.
  • The interest rate is fixed for the entire term - it does not grow week by week, and the total interest cost grows linearly with the number of weeks.
  • When taking a loan, the player chooses the amount and the number of weekly installments (from 1 to 15 weeks).
  • Installments are repaid automatically every Monday at 08:00.
  • A club may hold only one active loan at a time - a new one can be taken only after the previous one has been fully repaid.
  • Loans cannot be prepaid nor repaid faster than the weekly schedule.
  • Once all installments have been paid, the loan is automatically closed on Monday at 09:00.

Athletes

Athletes represent the club in competitions and develop their skills through training sessions. Each athlete has physical attributes (strength, stamina, agility), mental attributes (reflexes, bravery, composure, concentration) and technical attributes (technique, experience). Condition, fitness, health, fatigue, form and morale affect the athlete's current performance.

Staff

Each club can employ staff to support the team:

  • Analyst - analyzes match and training data, providing insights that support strategic decisions.
  • Doctor - diagnoses player injuries and ensures their recovery to full fitness.
  • Marketing - builds the club's image, runs campaigns, and increases fan engagement.
  • Nutritionist - creates nutrition plans that improve player performance and recovery.
  • Physiotherapist - assists players in rehabilitation and helps prevent injuries.
  • Press Officer - publishes club information and maintains media relations.
  • Psychologist - supports players in building confidence, motivation, and mental stability.
  • Scout - discovers and evaluates new players, recommending potential transfers.
  • Trainer - conducts training sessions and develops player abilities to enhance performance.
