Understanding Player Valuations and Wages

Player Valuations and Wages

Every player has a calculated valuation and weekly wage that affects your club's finances.

How Valuations Work

Player valuations are calculated from:

• Real-world performance ratings - Better performers are worth more
• Age - Younger players carry a premium
• Position scarcity - Rare positions command higher prices
• Recent form - In-form players see valuation increases
• Match fitness - Consistently available players are valued higher

Wages

• Every player has a weekly wage based on their quality
• Wages are deducted from your budget each week
• Total wage bill is shown on the Finances page
• High-wage players can strain your budget even if they're great performers

Managing Your Wage Budget

• Keep an eye on your total wage bill vs income
• Selling high-wage players you don't use is good financial management
• New signings add to your wage bill - factor this into transfer decisions
• Wage budgets are not capped, but overspending will drain your balance

Valuation Updates

Valuations update regularly based on real-world data syncs. A player who goes on a great run of form in real life will see their WLM valuation increase.
