Rayzor Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The rankings for richest clubs by turnover is not even close to accurate. According to Deloitte (which does not include the mega rich clubs in China), as of year 2014/2015, and heavily dependent on strength of currency, calculated estimates are: According to FM2016, version 16.0.1, small database, top leagues in England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy (not Turkey), game start England 1st July 2015 we have: What conversion rate does FM2016 use for euro to sterling? What is the base currency that is used? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 To start with you'll have to refer back to Deloitte's 2015 report, the 2016 report came out long after the database was locked, that being said the FM figures do not match because FM does not offer a full suite of accounting tools to absolutely match real life finances. Edit: To find out the exchange rate just place a £1m asking price on a player & then see what the value is when you change the currency to the one of your choice, £1:€1.40 btw.

Rayzor Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 No need to use the 2015 report. The 2013/14 stats are shown. They are not recalculated even if previously undeclared revenue streams are later found. But here is it anyway : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marassi Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I think that FM isn't only considering revenue when reporting on richest clubs. I think it also includes the value of the squad, cash balance in the bank, and probably debt levels too. So Madrid may be #1 in revenue, but they also have significant debt, and may not have as large of a cash balance as PSG, for example Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Well apparently FM calculates turnover as cumulative since the start of the season, and doesn't seed the first season (2015/16) with last season's financials. So it would only be fair to compare against Deloitte's stats right at the end of a season for each club, and even then it would be subject to circumstances that developed in your season. However, the numbers should still be reasonably close, if anyone has such a game saved. Also apparently only teams in playable leagues are included in the rankings.

Rayzor Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Here is one of mine close to end of just an English premier league season, but before the prize money is handed out. Its much closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What Welshace means is that Turnover =/= Revenue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 For all intents and purposes here, turnover == revenue. We're not talking about inventory turnover or receivables turnover. Would be nice to see a rankings list from a savegame after a year with more playable leagues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
