# Player Value and Capital Gains

The value in credits assigned to a player can fluctuate from one Matchday (G) to the next.

The change in a player’s credit value is called a **capital gain** (*plusvalenza*, if it increases) or a **capital loss** (*minusvalenza*, if it decreases).

Capital gains and losses take into account **two parameters**:

* The **score obtained by the player**
* The **starting value of the player**: for the same score, a player with a lower starting value will generate a **larger capital gain** compared to a player with a higher value.
