No, CLUB is not ‘Pay to Win,’ and here’s why:

Football is unpredictable: In real-life Premier League matches, any team can beat another on their day. Injuries, red cards, substitutions, or just a poor performance can impact a game - no matter how highly rated a player is. In CLUB, ratings don’t guarantee success. Top players can underperform, while Bronze-level players often outperform their Platinum counterparts, regularly earning spots in our 'Team of the Week.'

Balanced matchmaking: Our world-class matchmaking system ensures that all club owners - whether they choose to pay for progression or not - play in a competitive and fun environment. You'll be matched against opponents of similar levels to keep the game fair and enjoyable, and this system will continue to evolve as CLUB grows.

Strategic gameplay: To prevent players from stacking their squads with the most expensive players right from the start, we’ve implemented a Salary Cap system, similar to the financial rules that clubs have to follow in real life. Going over budget will result in points penalties, so you’ll need to manage your team wisely. In addition, the short head-to-head league format in CLUB amplifies the importance of each fixture, meaning every decision you make - whether to focus on the next few matches or plan for the long term - can change your season.

Ultimately, CLUB is about using your football knowledge strategically while embracing the unpredictable nature of the game - just like managing a real-life club! Paying can help you progress faster, but it won’t guarantee victory. After all, in fantasy football, even the best players can have an off day (or season!).
