No....
I'd just take the average investment for the week. ie. this week it is $19,909.

[Bazinga]

Really how is the average relevant to any of us on FF. I doubt any of us invest the average. We are all concerned about the next level we want to reach

When you compare the average to that from last week and come up with a percentage, it gives an accurate guide to how much each academy is rising / falling.

The study i have been undertaking based on academies has shown a 1600k drop in level, investment for Sri Lanka, i assume it is similar for Scotland and other nations which is good for those investing in academies

When you say that that your study has shown a 1.6k drop in level, it means absolutely nothing because you are not comparing it to anything.

Is this what you wanted then fletch. For seniors

When you convert these numbers into a percentage they will all be exactly the same. These numbers are 100% affected by and realted to the change in Weekly Average Investment, that is why the weekly average investment should be used when comparing rises/drops in academy investment.

Different countries different investments and for me the average investment is pointless as to working out whether i am saving money or not for the particular level i am working towards. How does the average investment allow you to know if you are starting to save money or not?

For you sid how is the average relevant when you are investing much higher than the average. It just shows you how much the average has dropped but in other words how much the on average was invested in Scotland

Sort of Cookie, but why not just take the change in the AWI like BAz and Sid just mentioned...

Here is the % change in the list you just gave me

0   0   0.00% 2979   -15   -0.50% 5959   -28   -0.47% 9932   -47   -0.47% 18870   -90   -0.48% 23836   -114   -0.48% 34760   -166   -0.48% 44692   -214   -0.48% 54623   -261   -0.48% 65548   -313   -0.48% 79452   -380   -0.48% 19863   -95   -0.48%

This just confirms what Baz just said, so just take the AWI, you're just wasting your time doing the aggregate

[Bazinga]

Exactly Fletch. The required investment for each level is determined by the Average Weekly Investment for that academy.

[cookie311993]

well when baz menitoned the average weekly investment dropped

This week ...
Seniors decreased by 0.33% (19,909 this week down from 19,975 last week)
Youths increased by 0.49% (22,239 this week up from 22,133 last week)

Do any of the results i find that you worked out the percentage for show a decrease of 0.33% as Baz suggested. Any at all.

So in which case Sri Lanka is cheaper for academies


and I have a superior senior academy and to maintain it at this level i need to invest $354 more than i would have had to invest in week 4 of this season

That wasn't his point though Cookie.

Just because the % in Scotland drops by 0.33% and in Sri Lanka it drops by 0.48%, doesn't mean it's cheaper...

For instance - I buy a TV in Sri Lanka for $1,000, but then the price drops 10% - thus it is $900 now, but in India their price drops by only 9%, but the price may have been $900 there, so now it is $819 - still cheaper in India, depsite a smaller % decrease.

My point above is just stating that the Sri Lankan AWI in academies might have been greater and therefore the % decrease this week is catching up with the Scottish AWI. In other words the Sri Lankan academies could be inflated....

[cookie311993]

How when each week the average investment required in sri lanka has remained lower than that of Scotland?

[cookie311993]

The numbers in sri lanka are lower than that of Scotland and with the larger percentage drop the gap is getting bigger

[AFEV]

How when each week the average investment required in sri lanka has remained lower than that of Scotland?

This is all hypothetical to prove a point...

[Fletch74]

Do you know that?

Well, if so, then that could mean that there is higher investment in academies by Scottish teams, which could mean your point may be correct, but not necessarily.

If it is correct, it would only be very marginally.

Seniors
Scotland               Sri Lanka      Difference       %
19,999                19,954                   45              0.22
19,975                19,958                   17              0.085
19,909                19,863                   46              0.23

It is only small but the % has gone back up

[Fletch74]

Marginal to the extreme....

[cookie311993]

Bangladesh from memory was even lower than Sri Lanka
Still shows that i was correct with what i was saying. Look at it whatever way you want, i like my way so i can see when the cheapest time was to invest and the price variation
