Sports Psychologists & Team Confidence

• Team Confidence changes during the weekly economic update
• It usually moves towards the starting point of mid-level decent
• If you hire many Sports Psychologists it will drop more slowly or rise more quickly than if you had none

• This table shows the average Team Confidence after the economic update for each combination of Sports Psychologists and TC before the update
• Mid level decent is level 4.50. Darker text means that more data points were available for that combination (light grey indicates 1 or 2 data points, dark grey indicates 3 or 4 and black indicates 5 or more).
• If you know of a similar study please either comment below or HT-Mail me in game.
• If you would like access to the raw data just send me a message - I'm always very happy to colaborate!
• Part of the data was taken from a previous German study while the rest was collected by users in the Hattrick Library from research threads in the Scottish and English Hattrick forums. A big thank you to all you contributed!
  

How Many Economists Should I Hire?

Update: As of 12th September 2008 "Economists" have been renamed "Accountants". They still function as described below, only their name is different.

The simple answer for 99 out of 100 Hattrick teams will be none - Economists are only useful in very specific financial circumstances.

Economists effect interest payments when in debt and interest receipts when in the black. However as with spokespersons the most important factor is not maximising income, it is maximising profit. For this reason you don't need to hire even one economist until you are either €270,000 in debt or have at least €4,800,000 in the bank.

More detailed information is of course available on the Hattrick Wiki, but as you can see very few Hattrick clubs should even think about hiring economists.

How Many Spokespersons Should I Hire?

There are few variables in Hattrick for which there will always be a single 'best' option for your team. Spokespersons is one of them.

Spokespersons are very simple: the more of them you hire the more income you will receive from your sponsors each week. Fairly straightforward, but as ever you shouldn't be worried about maximising sponsorship income - you should be more concerned with maximising sponsorship profit.

To maximise profit there is an optimum number of spokespersons for each combination of fanclub size and league level. If you have fewer than the optimum then you aren't maximising income. If you have more, then you arent maximising profit.

The easiest way to calculate your optimum number of spokespersons is by using this free online tool from HattriX-Ray.
