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?
Yes. The most a user can earn is around the £50m mark.
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.
It doesn't say above HOW you convert points or fan valuation into money.... I have 65 points which gives me nothing. If you say 1 point = $1000, I understand....
You are free to post in french to your comment walls, and other french supporters walls, but at the moment the main forums are english. Next year there will be french / italian versions of footytube, so stay tuned
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
10 million loss in one day seems a bit much, we'll look into it.
Bear in mind fan valuation is still very much beta.
It works perfectly for all those people that are consistent in their posting style. Well thought out, intelligent comments, with good grammar and spelling will be rewarded.
Hasty, and short one word answers containing TXT or L33t speak are heavily penalised.
So, if you were to logon, and make 50 small posts, with bad spelling, and don't add much to the conversation, our system will pick up on this and amend your valuation.
Those people that face no problems with valuation, are users that post consistent, in-depth comments that get people thinking and talking
Thank you for your answer. I love this site and fan valuation is very amusing. Only English is not my language and it is a shame to be penalized because we do a lot of French attempt To integrate the forum in English. That is sad to lose 10 million in one day after much attempt To make money hi hi hi soon the transfer happen lol. Good day
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?
You won't get penalised, don't worry. The system is fully automated so it gives you a value based on what it thinks your value should be. We leave it alone to do its magic
It increases if you do what the footytube creators think of as contributing as a genuine football fan to the website. So just do whatever you want to, but try to stay polite and constructive
Just to confirm though, it is all automatic. Every night the code checks what you've done on the site the day before, so if you've made a few good, well spelled and decently long posts, it will reward that. However if your posts are full of swear words, text or leet speak, or if you spam the forums with the same post everywhere, the system punishes that.
Nah' we've got a few issues at the moment. Working on them. I'd say leave off making any transfers while we fix. I would expect your valuation to go up by Wednesday (hopefully fix the issues fully tomorrow)
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?
I think he means how much you can earn at once, if I'm right. But I can't promise that I'm right about the earnings cap, you'd be better off asking Lee or Matt
