Boosts Before Games
Boosts Before Games
In Football Tycoon, Boosts give your team an extra edge right before a match. Whether you’re facing a tough opponent, battling for promotion, or just want to ensure victory, using boosts at the right time can make all the difference. Knowing when and how to deploy them strategically is a key part of becoming a top-tier manager.
⚡ What Are Boosts?
Boosts are temporary advantages you can purchase and apply before a match begins. They increase your team’s performance, giving you a better chance to win matches, especially when you’re up against stronger rivals.
There are different types of boosts available depending on whether you’re playing a home game or an away game.
🏟️ Boosts for Home Games
Home games give you three boost options:
- Motivate Team
- Gives a fitness boost to your entire squad.
- Useful if your team’s fitness isn’t maxed out before the match.
- Increase Fan Support
- Boosts fan happiness by improving your home crowd’s reaction.
- Can result in better attendance and more stadium facility revenue.
- Hire a Mascot
- Adds a small bonus to match performance, making your team play better.
- Perfect for tight matches where every advantage counts.
🚍 Boosts for Away Games
Away games have three different boosts, focusing on team morale and reducing the disadvantages of playing on the road:
- Motivate Team
- Just like in home games, this boosts player fitness before the match.
- Luxury Bus
- Improves team morale by ensuring a comfortable trip.
- Can slightly increase your chance of winning by keeping players fresh and happy.
- Extra Security
- Reduces stress and distractions from hostile away crowds.
- Helps maintain focus and performance, giving you a small but meaningful advantage.
💰 How Much Do Boosts Cost?
Boost prices vary depending on the league you’re in and the level of your team.
- Boost costs are proportional to the stakes of the match and the league’s difficulty.
- The higher your league, the more expensive boosts become—but their impact is more valuable, especially when promotion or survival is on the line.
Spending money on boosts is often worth it for critical matches, like:
- A game that could secure promotion.
- Matches against rival teams close to you on the league table.
- Cup finals where trophies and fan boosts are at stake.
🎯 When Should You Use Boosts?
Not every match requires boosts—you’ll want to use them strategically, such as:
- When your team’s fitness isn’t 100%, and you need a quick edge.
- In promotion battles, where a win can secure a top-three finish.
- During Cup Competitions, where a single loss eliminates you.
- If you’re on a losing streak and need to break the cycle to restore fan happiness.
🧠 Strategic Boost Combinations
For home games, combining Motivate Team + Increase Fan Support often works well:
- Win the game AND boost fan happiness for long-term growth.
For away games, using Luxury Bus + Extra Security can neutralize away disadvantages, giving your team a calm, focused mindset to perform better.
🔥 Pro Tips for Boost Efficiency
- Save boosts for matches that really matter, rather than using them on weaker opponents.
- If your team’s fitness is maxed, prioritize morale-boosting options like Luxury Bus or Fan Support.
- Monitor your finances: Don’t overspend on boosts if it prevents you from upgrading players or facilities!
- Use boosts to create win streaks, which increase fan happiness and unlock better sponsorships.
- Plan boosts ahead of key matches by checking your league standings and upcoming fixtures.
✅ Why Boosts Matter
Boosts are a smart investment when used wisely. They offer that extra edge you need to win key matches, maintain fan momentum, and stay ahead of tough competition in higher leagues. Used at the right moments, boosts can help turn a good team into a championship contender.
