01

Two clocks, one schedule

Ageing and development use an accelerated game clock: one real day advances six game days. Manager-facing deadlines and kickoffs remain ordinary calendar times, shown in Bucharest time.

02

A normal week

The timeline on Club home is assembled from the live world schedule and your stored fixtures. It distinguishes completed, current and future days and links each real event to its destination.

What a season means for a player

A complete season lasts 15 weeks, or 105 real days. At six game days per real day, every active Senior, Youth and free-agent player ages by exactly 630 game days — about 1.73 player years — during one complete season. Age and club tenure advance seven days a week, and age-based skill deterioration starts at exact age 28 and also runs daily; only training sessions stop at the weekend.

Player profiles show completed whole years, while the career clock keeps the exact hidden day count. Depending on how close he was to his next birthday at the start, the displayed age can therefore rise by one or two years during the same season.

At this pace, moving from age 15 to 21 takes about 3.5 seasons, while reaching age 33 from 15 takes about 10.4 seasons. The accelerated clock keeps development and squad renewal moving even though one real season lasts only 15 weeks.

04

The season clock

A league season spans 15 weeks: 13 round-robin rounds, a transition window and the season break. Cup paths have their own rounds, but all completed competitions and club records are frozen into history rather than rebuilt from today's squad.
