What Moves Prices

Just like a real stock exchange, prices react to real-world events and market activity.

Match Events

Goals, assists and clean sheets trigger instant buy pressure. Red cards and own goals cause sell-offs.

⚽ Goal🅰️ Assist🟥 Red Card

News Sentiment

Transfer rumours, injuries and praise in the press feed the market's news-sentiment engine, nudging prices up or down.

📈 Positive📉 Negative

Other Traders

When demand outstrips supply the price rises. Spot the trend early and profit from the wave.

Market Activity

Volume spikes, order-book depth and trade momentum all influence where prices settle between matchdays.

Trading Tips

Diversify

Spread your cash across tiers and positions — don't bet everything on a single player.

Buy the Dip

A red card or bad match can tank a price short-term. If the player is quality, buy the dip.

Watch the News

Transfer rumours and injury updates move prices fast — stay ahead of the market.

Use Limit Orders

Set the price you want to pay and wait. Patience often beats chasing market orders.

Spot Under-valued Gems

Tier 3 and Tier 4 players can explode in value if they break into the first team.

Weekly League

Weekly League
Every Monday a fresh competition starts. Your portfolio value is recorded and the highest value by Sunday wins. Fully automatic — just trade as normal and your results are tracked.

Player Tiers

Players are grouped into four tiers based on their real-world profile. The IPO (listing) price sets the starting point — the market decides from there.

TierIPO PriceExamples
T1 — Elite£25.00Salah, Haaland, Palmer
T2 — Established£10.00Saka, Watkins, Gordon
T3 — Emerging£3.00Wharton, Nkunku, Isak
