What is Fan Valuation?

Your fan valuation is our assessment of your contribution to the footytube community. It is a monetary value calculated from all of your activities around the site, and in the forums. Activities can include updating your profile, adding photos, taking part in quizzes and fantasy league, making a positive contribution in the forums, helping the moderators out with special requests, and even just surfing the site and watching videos.

How is it calculated?

Our system uses some special algorithms that are far too geeky and technical to go into much detail about. But, you can be sure that if you are making a positive contribution to the site, your fan valuation will increase.

When do you work out new valuations?

Your fan valuation is calculated at Midnight (GMT) every evening. League promotion / relegation happens every Sunday at Midnight (GMT).

When and why does it decrease?

Your valuation can decrease for a number of reasons, including less activity / long periods of being absent from the site, negative feedback from the community (such as getting posts deleted in the forums), and simply because competition from other fans in your league is heating up! One of the easiest ways to screw up your valuation is by breaking the community guidelines (which are so simple to follow most people won't even need to read them). However, some people do break them without thinking, so it is always a good idea to give them a quick read. If you end up getting a Yellow Card, expect a big devaulation. If you get a Red and are supsended or banned from the site, you will be thrown out of the league altogether.

Do the moderators have a say in valuation?

Generally the moderators leave the system to caluclate valuations, but they do have the power to award / penalise users if they see the need. Moderators will never, ever be biased towards particular users - just like your Mum and Dad, although we do secretly have our favourite footytube offspring, that doesn't mean we will be giving you more pocket money! So, there is no point sucking up to the mods, or trying to curry favour in the forums, if anything, you would be more likely to be docked points for such cringe worthy behaviour!

How does the league system work - when will I get promoted / relegated?

There are 4 valuation leagues:- Premier, Champ, League One and League Two. Which league you are in is dependent on your overall fan valuation position in the community. There are currently 25 fans in each of the four leagues. Every Sunday there is a promotion round, which will see fans promoted / relegated depending on their position at the end of the week.

What can I use my earnings for?

Your earnings go toward your Fantasy League bonus budget. Everybody starts with £100m when they create a fantasy league team, but those users with additional valuation earnings, will be able to spend that money on extra/better players during the fantasy league transfer windows.

What happens if my valuation goes down during the transfer window?

If your earnings go down prior to a transfer window opening, and you have spent all your budget on players, you will go into the red. If you stay in the red, you will need to sell one of your players to make up the deficit.

Is there an earnings cap?

No. But there is a cap on dreamfooty budgets. The most a standard user can earn is around the £150m mark to spend on their team. However, users who upgrade to a PRO+ Account can go over this cap

I'm new to the site, will I get penalised?

There is a small penalty for very new members, but as you prove yourself and contribute to the community, you will quickly earn money and your rank will increase. It doesn't take long to be competing on an equal footing with the rest of the community..

Some people have a lot of posts in the forums, can I ever catch up?

One of the most important factors to remember on footytube is that post count DOES NOT equal post quality. If you consistently make quality posts that engage the rest of the community, then post count quickly becomes irrelevant. Naturally, you will need to prove yourself by making a fair number of quality posts before we can assess your valuation, but there is absolutely no need to be put off by those users with 1000's of posts - just look at the valuation leaderboard, those users on top are not the members that have most posts.

How can I get more money to buy the player?

Just go down to post a reply at the bottom of the web page

Can we answer in french? Does it work?

Yes it is rather difficult for French to communicate. The simplest is to use a translator
That this (works) very well

I do not understand how his fan calculates evaluation. Yesterday I had 20 million -> 10 million today? It is possible to lose 10 million a day. I log every day, I work every day! ! ! I do not really thank you for an explication

Ok this was good to read, now I know what to do to earn more money for the upcoming transfer season!

Mr. Lee, I'm just want to know if I didn't manage the start of the season(august), than I have to wait till the next year or what? Thanks

Yesterday my fan valuation was 1, 6 million and today is up to 13 million, I am so happy right now because I think I worked hard for it but the question is should I get penalize by using it without making sure that it's real and not a mistake?

Cool! That's a relief.... Thank you for the reply

How do I start my fan valuation?

Is there a rate or something?  After how many contributions does it increase or is it just random?

I'm sorry wrong forum   Link: www.footytube.com/forums/new-user-faqs/fan-valuati...

Hi guys i've been quite busy on the site over the last few days but my fan evaluation has not changed, is this due to the transfer window opening?

This is more of a general interest of how the system works than anything else.

Is the ranking system based upon valuation (E. G. £50m = somewhere in the Premier league) or is it vice versa? As in, is there a finite amount of valuation spanned across all users or is it possible (though highly unlikely) that more than 100 users could achieve around the 50 million cap and mess with the league tables?

Hope that makes sense
