GUIDES
The finance screen is what keeps you in a job. It shows the club balance, the week’s bookings, a forecast for the coming week, and the season totals. Green is positive. Red is negative.
Every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday the game takes player wages and any loan instalments. It does this whether or not you play at home. Income on those days can include sponsorship, stadium receipts from a home match, friendly income, and cup or international prizes. If spending stays above income, the balance falls.
The forecast is an estimate of the coming week before the matchday is calculated. Open it before a transfer and before a contract. A fee you can afford on Monday can be a wage you cannot afford on Friday.
Around −500,000 you get a warning by email. At −3,000,000 you’re sacked for poor financial planning, and the club becomes free for another manager. The starting budget is about 4,500,000 in the first division, 3,000,000 in the second and 1,500,000 in the third.
You can also get sacked for being away, separate from the finances: 14 days without a login, after a warning at 7 days. A short visit that checks this screen counts. Both clocks are on how to start. The wider argument for why managers fail here, including the sports-betting prize of 500,000 for the season, is on club economy.
Premium does not change these numbers. Detailed statistics can help you pick a player. They do not pay the wage. Premium stays optional.
