POPULARITY
Why is Popularity so important in GoalTycoon?
Popularity is an extremely important factor in GoalTycoon.
As your popularity level becomes higher, so will your incomes, becoming
substantial. A higher popularity entails more ticket paying fans that will come
to your team’s games. Therefore, your club will be making more money. The
number of ticket paying supporters coming to the Stadium is determined by your
club’s popularity, and the popularity of the opposing club. Thus, for each home
game, the presence of supporters will be calculated using the following
formula:

opposing Club) / 2.
The Popularity decreases when your team loses matches and
when the supporters are not pleased with the Stadium’s conditions, they do not
have enough seats. Also, Popularity increases depending on the League your team
is in and depending on the facilities of your Club Park, the parking places,
the administrative building and the League your team is in, the commodities of
the Stadium, meaning the quality of the Pitch, of the Roof, of the Nocturnals.

THE CLUB PARK ELEMENTS
THE STADIUM
The Stadium is the place where your football team proves the
abilities gained during training. The maximum capacity of the Stadium is
100.000 seats. The presence of spectators at your team’s games is an extremely
important factor of your Club’s finances. The number of ticket-paying
supporters is determined by the Popularity of your club, but also by the
Popularity of your opposing club. In a market study an approximation has been
made regarding the supporters placing in the Stadium: chairs – about 60% of all
supporters attending the game, the armchairs – 30% and Lodge – 10%.
Stadium capacity will be determined according to the upgrade
as follows:
upgrade 1 – 1 up to 20 000 places;

club. Thus, for each home game, the presence of supporters will be calculated

Basic Tips
* Check before you buy core shares for 55 cents that there
aren’t cheaper ones on offer from players, there’s often many at 54 cents and
sometimes some for 53 and lower (most were bought at 35 cents and have paid a
dividend so anything above 35 cents is profit to many).
* Unless you’re going to invest money in early you may be
limited to which formations you can field an effective team with, all players
have a preferred position and if they are not in they play at for example 75%
efficiency.
* Wouldn’t advise being an idiot like me and activating the
xfer license, save your euros.
I’ve transferred a fair bit of money from Market Glory to
GT, I didn’t spend a huge amount on the club, most going on cheap shares,
however I did buy a fairly expensive coach (passing, thought the midfield was
awful in this regard) plus quite a few lvl 2 ones, plus a few lvl 3 youths and
a bunch of lvl 2 ones, not built any buildings yet though gathering the
resources, oh I also spent 100 gold on placement in the top league by accident,
my vague strategy I thought on the first few days was to invest in shares then
put dividend money into the club however at both dividend payments there were
shares at decent prices to buy.
