The overall is an average of the players key stats for his primary position. E.g a CBs average will be based on mainly defensive stats.

There is processing every 3 hours, but some days are done together. Saturday is processed by itself, Sun and Monday together,  Tuesday and Wednesday together, Thursday and Friday together

How do we get sponsorships and how do we increase our fanbase here?

As you have a low class team, you only get normal shirt sponsorship at the moment and you'll get offered a new deal when the current one is ending.

global fanbase increases when your team plays against overseas clubs.  for now, don't worry about that - global fanbase is more about how much the top clubs get for their merchandising income at the end of the season.

really you just need to concentrate on improving your squad and getting your club up the divisions

And what exactly is the difference between Class and Overall?

Class is like a rating for the players progression in football. The more games he plays in and the better the club, the higher it will go. It is limited by the class of the club he is playing for. In normal circumstances it can't go up more than 200 above the clubs class.

Overall, as said before is an average of key attributes only. There's no link between overall and class.

Scandalous that one team has exploited an owner getting rid of two teams and bought all of their best players.

I would say it is more opportunistic no? I have money to spend, but the only good players realistically available to buy are ones that are from unowned clubs, as the majority of top owned clubs either need to keep their best players, or don’t need money at all and therefore may as well keep them for squad depth. So when I search for any available players to try and improve my own squads I am obviously going to send out offers to as many as i can afford, it just happened that no one else noticed so I came out on top.

It's a bit depressing, but I don't think it's at all scandalous.  We all have different amounts of time to spend in the game at different moments.  I have been very busy recently so missed this latest round, but there have been various moments over the course of Rooq's games where the economy has become the element which is least true to 'real life'.  Anyone who has had teams sitting in the top half dozen or so of a league or two for more than a couple of seasons will inevitably have a lot of cash to spend, more than they can ever part with (my Caldas for instance, effectively cannot make any more money as our cash in hand is capped at 1bn and I have been sitting at that for the past few seasons).  Games like this will attract this sort of opportunism, and it is fair enough as it is within the rules.  Do I find it slightly depressing?  Yes. (especially as Brazil is a place I look for my Portuguese side).  Does it dent my enthusiasm/energy for the game?  Yes (as the top sides already had a monopoly on the last round of elite players, and this moment has hoovered up the only chances of a counter attack).  Do I have a problem with it?  No (it is legal, I was too busy to be in game much, if someone else had time on their hands at the right moment then good luck to them, and no sim retains its level playing field for long, it is what it is.)

I think it's 100% ridiculous and it has annoyed me as a player who has been on the game since BETA with a comfortable and semi successful team never mind someone who is new to the game or someone who is trying to build still. Each to their own and if that is how people want to play then so be it. It probably won't stop me from playing the game but the fact the game can delve so far from realism and in my opinion fairness dampens my enthusiasm. 

Problem is when real money has been invested  (fairly due to the amount of effort put into the game) by players it is tough to feel short changed and exploited by something like this. 

Is what it is I suppose and I am sure others feel differently from me but the fact I have aired this opinion should say a lot as I rarely post or complain.

Call it what you want. I noticed and bid for 1 player as it seemed fair and in the spirit of the game. I expected that several reams might have noticed and the better players spread between several teams. 
Play how you want, I just want there to be a fair crack and a level of realism to the game. I don´t even mind if one team dominates the league. I have found it fun trying to chase down Darlington and have managed to get close a couple of times using different recruitment strategies. What I don't like is one person profiting because another player has left the game.

Sjw1989 I have been playing this game for almost as long as you (19 seasons rather than 21), and haven’t put a single £ of real money into the game. All the money I have has come from time, effort, winning leagues and progressing far in cups. And now my reward from that effort is that I have money to spend and improve my club when possible. 
Obviously I don’t think it is the most realistic situation ever,  but it isn’t really a comparable scenario is it? How often does it happen in real football that a top team owner “disappears”? Even imagining that suddenly the owners of PSG for example left, and the team was in a scramble, essentially leaving the players open to go anywhere. The successful rich teams such as Manchester City or Madrid would jump at the opportunity to snatch up Mbappe, Dembele and Donnaruma, likely coming out on top over smaller teams. Would this disappoint and worry rival teams’ fans? Understandably yes. But would it be viewed as unsporting or unexpected? Not in the slightest. 
Play how you want, but I personally won’t ever go easy on other players and risk losing out more players again to FatalityMCO or Kamelkaze just to assure that I don’t offend other competitors. Unfortunately the economy is as it is and opportunistic advantages must be seized upon to progress.

I don't think that the length of time one has played a game has any bearing.  I have played every iteration of Rooq's boxing game and have been with this game since the start.  I still only get my own opinion, same as everyone else, and that is as it should be.  If you want to limit your transfer activity owing to some sense of fair play then that is entirely up to you, but does not mean that others will or should play the same way.  I personally prefer to have most of my squad come from the team's home country.  That has unquestionably cost me some results, but does not lead me to think others should do the same.  

I don't see it as either ridiculous or unfair.  Rooq is taking some steps currently to rebalance the game economy, but there are bound to be deviations from reality.  Accusing players who benefit from the economy - within the rules of the game - of being unfair is, for me, far more offputting.  It is simply not a reasonable position.

If you want to put artificial boundaries in place around your own gameplay, go for it.  But you're verging on accusing others of cheating, which personally I find much more offputting than another player signing players.

I think some players had a discord but I never used it and don't know if it's still in use

Hello. I was thinking managers could provide us owners with some suggestions for signings, and we could be the people who confirm those transfers. I understand that scouts kinda do that, but having a manager who helps us owners make the right transfers for the club would be key for future seasons ahead. Maybe to avoid signing wide players for a club whose manager prefers to play a narrow formation.
