Where Your Money Comes From
Your main income sources: home games (tickets, bratwurst, fan shop items), a main investor (pays weekly), a media partner, and transfer proceeds. Per home game the till rings three times: ticket sales, food & drinks, and merchandise. The amount depends on your stadium size, ticket prices, and fan satisfaction.
Your Investors — Backers with Expectations
Every team has two backers by default: a main investor and a media partner. The main investor can have different bonus models — some only pay the base weekly amount, others offer win bonuses or a fat target bonus if you reach a certain table position. After each season you get new offers — the financial advisor rates them for you.
An investor with a high weekly amount and good win bonuses pays off especially when you win often. An investor with a target bonus pushes you to reach a certain ranking. Choose based on your playing strength!
Where Your Money Goes
Every day, player salaries, staff salaries, and building maintenance are debited. One-time expenses: stadium expansion, building upgrades, auction fees, and player purchases. The biggest ongoing burden is player salaries — they rise with your stars' performance. Keep your roster lean and efficient.
A negative balance makes management difficult. You can barely invest anymore. Watch for a healthy balance between income and expenses!
