⚽OINK Soccer

A low-grind soccer manager mini-game that utilises assets from OOYC collections. We wanted to create an experience that all holders can enjoy and benefit from without the need for constant activity and check-ins. Set your team once and let the strategy play out.

How to play

1: Select your team

Go to https://www.thelostpigs.com/oink-soccer/squad to select your 5 starting players and your desired formation. There are 4 formations to choose from - defensive, balanced, direct and attacking.

This action requires you to sign an authentication transaction. This is a one-time action per device. A session token will be created so you don't need to sign for every update to your team.

2: Play matches

Leagues are made up of 20 teams. Each team will play every other team twice - home and away. A season is therefore 38 games and teams play once per day. You do not need to be online to play - the matches are fully automated - simply set your team in step 1 and let your strategy unfold.

You can play highlights of matches on the match player here: https://www.thelostpigs.com/oink-soccer/match. These highlights will also be pushed into discord in the relevant leagues channels.

3: View league tables

You can view league tables in the "Leagues" view here: https://www.thelostpigs.com/oink-soccer/league. Select the "Scores & Fixtures" tab to view previous results and fixtures for all leagues.

4: Upgrade your team in the transfer market

The transfer market shows marketplace listings linked to player attributes. We currently only support rand but will be adding more marketplaces in future. https://www.thelostpigs.com/oink-soccer/shop

5. Upgrade your team by renting a player

Oink Soccer supports P2P player rentals using custom smart contracts. This brings additional utility for holding bots and pigs whilst giving smaller holders the chance to beef up their team and compete in the big leagues.

6: Using items to boost chances of winning

You can consume items to boost chances of winning a match. Items typically boost player attributes over a defined period which is subject to change. You can purchase items on the squad page: https://www.thelostpigs.com/oink-soccer/squad

You can then use and purchase items from the items shop.

Implicit Boosts

Form

Your team will receive a boost based on previous results. The maximum boost is 10% which is achieved by winning the 5 previous league matches. If your team loses 5 matches then the boost is -10%. The algorithm starts at 1 then adds 0.02 for a win and subtracts 0.02 for a loss. Then uses the result as a team boost (all attributes are boosted). For example

1 + 5 * 0.02 = 1.1 (10%)

Home advantage

A fixed 5% team boost is applied to home teams for league matches only.

Injuries

Players can become injured when playing in an Oink Soccer match. When a player becomes injured, they can still play but their stats will be reduced by 5-15%, depending on the severity of the injury. Injured players will be visible from the squad selection screen.
