# Players' value

The credit value assigned to each player increases or decreases after each Matchday. This variation is called Plusvalenza (or minusvalenza) and is calculated based on two factors:

1. The **obtained score**.
2. The **starting value**: with the same score, a player with a lower starting value will experience a greater plusvalenza compared to a player with a higher starting value.

This variation will increase or decrease your credit budget, thereby modifying your purchasing power.

**EXAMPLE**

My fantasy team has 100 credits. My player XY, whose value is 20.5cr, after a match achieves a very high score, and her value increases by +1.5cr, reaching 22cr. The value of my fantasy team then changes from 100 to 101.5cr, increasing my purchasing power because, if I sell the player, I can replace her with one worth 22cr (rather than the initial 20.5cr).

**TIPS FOR MAKING CAPITAL GAINS**

1. **Key Injuries:** If a high-value player gets injured, for each missed game, he/she will lose value (-0.1cr) and can be purchased upon return for a much lower price. It is advisable to sell him/her immediately after the injury to avoid losing value.
2. **Substitutes for Injured Starters:** If a high-value player gets injured and is replaced by a mid-range player, who, for a reduced price, ensures you good appearances and statistics.
3. **Breakout Players of the Year:** This is where the great scouts of VNL Fantasy come into play—discovering initially underrated talents at a low price, who will then score high points (and thus capital gains) throughout the year.
