Tip:

Battrick is really a financial management simulator - the teams that manage their money better than their opponents can afford better players.

Expenditure

There are a number of different costs you must meet to keep your club running:

  • Ground maintenance
  • Player wages
  • Overdraft interest
  • Miscellaneous costs
  • Staff costs
  • Youth Academy costs

It is vital that you try not to spend unnecessarily in any of these areas - every dollar is hard to earn and easy to spend!

Ground maintenance Don't build too big too fast.
Player wages High wages can kill your club completely.
Overdraft interest Don't drop below $0, ever.
Miscellaneous costs Don't buy players you don't need.
5% tax payable on every player sale.
Staff costs Don't hire too many.
Don't hire and fire unnecessarily.
Newer clubs don't need many!
Youth Academy Don't start this in your first season or two.
