The Football Academy only goes up as far as level 6, which is also known as TC level 16. 

Let Santa take you on a mystery tour behind the scenes of the inner workings of Rocking Soccer. For one day only, as long as you believe in Santa you are now able to build FA levels 7, 8, 9 and 10. 

How much will it all cost?  

Fortunately the elves working at the North Pole have discovered the secret sauce behind the numbers. The good - and most surprising - news is that FA 10 is free. At least it's free to build it. Unfortunately you would still need very deep pockets as it will cost you over $7 billion per season in running costs. 

FA Level 7

• Construction cost $ 4 718 592 000
• Daily maintenance cost $ 24 903 105 
• Training effectiveness 204 xp times "talent" per day

FA Level 8

• Construction cost $ 6 291 456 000
• Daily maintenance cost $ 45 157 631  
• Training effectiveness 216 xp times "talent" per day

FA Level 9

• Construction cost $ 6 291 456 000 (same as FA 8)
• Daily maintenance cost $ 80 752 469 
• Training effectiveness 228 xp times "talent" per day

FA Level 10

• Construction cost $ 0 (Free to build)
• Daily maintenance cost $ 142 804 367
• Training effectiveness 240 xp times "talent" per day

For elves only ...

Starting from FA 1, the construction costs at each level have the following multipliers:

• 16/9, 14/8, 12/7, 10/6, 8/5, 6/4, 4/3, 2/2, 0/1

The last one being zero, which is why FA 10 is free.

Starting from FA 1, the daily running costs at each level have the following multipliers:

• 40/15, 56/25, 72/35, 88/45, 104/55, 120/65, 136/75, 152/85, 168/95

Merry Christmas to everyone from the North Pole.

The FA Level 10 would drain me of all my finances in one season. That's all it would take to make me go broke.

Maybe you should go for Youth Academy 10 instead then Peter.

The running costs for YA 10 are going to be cheaper than for FA 10 at a little under $6 billion per season. Although unlike FA10 it's not free to build it.

Unfortunately the construction costs for YA 10 are a staggeringly eye-watering $150 billion! 

With the Christmas rush over Santa's elves have been hard at work reverse engineering the numbers for the youth system. It turns out that the Youth Academy levels continue with exactly the same pattern used for the Youth Centre. 

The offer to build FA levels 7, 8, 9 and 10 has now been extended to include YA levels 7, 8, 9 and 10. But you'll have to rush for these bargains before they are all sold out. 

YA Level 7

• Construction cost $  12 265 300 831
• Daily maintenance cost $  19 430 325  
• Maximum Talent 7.10 

YA Level 8

• Construction cost $  28 210 087 912
• Daily maintenance cost $  34 974 585   
• Maximum Talent 7.40 

YA Level 9

• Construction cost $  64 883 098 198 
• Daily maintenance cost $  62 954 253    
• Maximum Talent 7.70 

YA Level 10

• Construction cost $  149 231 021 855  
• Daily maintenance cost $  113 317 655     
• Maximum Talent 8.00 

For elves only ...

The construction costs for each youth centre/academy level are:

•  $20 000 * (2.3^n + 4)  [where n = Level - 1]

The daily running costs at each level are: 

• $1600 * 1.8^n [where n = Level - 1]

Has any team in RS ever had 28 billions in account? :D My limit has been less than 2B mostly around 1.5-1.6 on last seasons so i could afford one academy level 4 but then have to sell my best players to have some comfort zone to buy in new generation soon. 

Peter >> četvrtak decembar 28 - 20:37

I have 8bill and could reach 28 if I wanted to

Numpty >> petak decembar 29 - 11:12

How long would that take you Peter? Another 5 or 10 years maybe? :D

Peter >> subota decembar 30 - 22:00

@Numpty it would take me 5.7 years assuming I continue making $500 million minimum per season.

Obviously I don't plan on doing that, saving up money is only worth it if you build new facilities or buy players (I'd pick facilities).

That will be in the year 2029 ... nothing of much interest happens ...

• William V is awaiting his coronation following the recent demise of Charles III
• Harry publishes his latest book "Spare V"
• Nikki Haley is inaugurated for a second term as the 47th President
• US society has become increasingly divided and is on the brink of civil war
• Suella Braverman becomes the UK Prime Minister - appoints Boris Johnson as Foreign Secretary
• Russia has invaded 3 more countries
• After bitter infighting Hungary is kicked out of the EU
• Turkey gets kicked out of NATO
• The Middle East is in flames
• Syria remains a failed state, the civil war dramatically escalates and Damascus is in ruins
• A rag tag group of rogue nations and militias fight over the spoils
• Armageddon seems like it could be just around the corner

Nothing to worry about - it's just my tongue-in-cheek imagination ...

Meanwhile the good ship Rocking Soccer sails serenely on without the Captain.
