Fame
Fame reflects a club’s sporting results over its last three played seasons. More recent results carry more weight, and the resulting figure is used by the National Cup, Stadium attendance, horizontal rotation and the Top Clubs (Fame) leaderboard.
What it is#
Every club has one fame figure. It is not a currency and cannot be spent. A new club starts from a base of 50, then its weighted competitive results are added; the final figure cannot fall below zero.
How a match earns it#
Every competitive match changes each club's fame by the result points — 3 for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss — multiplied by the coefficient of the competition, plus 0.01 for every goal scored and minus 0.005 for every goal conceded. A 3-0 win in Elite is worth 3.03; a 1-4 defeat in the Champions League is worth 0.01 minus 0.02, a small loss. Friendlies do not affect fame.
| Competition | Coefficient |
|---|---|
| Champions League | 1.3 |
| Contenders League | 1.2 |
| Challengers League | 1.1 |
| National Cup | 1.1 |
| National Championship, Elite | 1.0 |
| National Championship, Pro | 0.9 |
| National Championship, Amateur | 0.8 |
| Rookie League | 0.7 |
| Promotion and relegation play-offs | Each club's own division coefficient |
A result keeps the coefficient that applied when the match was played, so later changes do not recalculate past fame. The same coefficients weight union points and, together with the stage, attendance.
The three-season window#
Your fame uses the last three seasons in which your club has played a competitive match. The most recent played season counts in full, the previous one at 0.75 and the third at 0.5; older seasons do not count. The base of 50 is then added. A season enters the window only when the club records a result in it, so an inactive season with no result does not displace a played one. The Top Clubs (Fame) leaderboard shows the three season contributions and their weights.
What fame decides#
| System | How fame is used |
|---|---|
| National Cup entry and seeding | Each country’s 98 eligible Amateur, Pro and Elite clubs are ranked by fame. The bottom two do not enter, the next 64 play qualification and the top 32 enter at the Round of 64 |
| National Cup hosting | Higher fame hosts in qualification. At the Round of 64, a club entering at that stage hosts its qualifier. From the Round of 32 onward, higher current fame hosts; equal fame is settled by the better original seed. The final is neutral |
| Attendance | Fame above the base of 50 fills the ground on a logarithmic scale, from 10 (no effect) to 144 (the full effect), before importance and price are applied. A famous club fills a big stadium; a new one plays to the base 28 to 32% |
| Horizontal rotation | When divisions are rebuilt after vertical movement, clubs entering a tier are ordered by fame, split across strength bands and distributed among the available divisions |
| Leaderboard | The Top Clubs (Fame) ranking, including the season-by-season breakdown |
Why it matters to you#
Fame lets sustained results shape more than the current table. It can secure National Cup entry and a home tie, help fill a larger Stadium and influence how clubs arriving in a tier are distributed for the next season. Stronger competitions award more for the same result — a Champions League win is worth 3.9 before goal adjustments, against 2.1 in the Rookie League — while the three-season weighting makes recent form more influential than older success. Fame does not decide promotion, ordinary championship pairings or the final league table.
