Systems and methods for optimizing gameplay on an electronic social gaming platform

A computer implemented method for optimizing gameplay on an electronic social gaming platform, the optimization based on the number of active accounts on the electronic social gaming platform, and stage of gameplay, the computer implemented method comprising:

• obtaining a first value for a game unit for a plurality of game units that are acquirable on the electronic social gaming platform;
• updating the first value based on a value algorithm comprising the following variables:
• game unit ownership percentage, game unit past performance relative to past expected performance, and game unit projected performance;
• changing a first weighting of variables in the value algorithm based on the number of active accounts on the electronic social gaming platform to generate a second value algorithm, wherein as the number of active accounts increases, the weighting of game unit ownership percentage is increased relative to the weighting of at least one of game unit past performance relative to past expected performance and game unit projected performance;
• change a second weighting of variables in the second value algorithm based on the stage of gameplay on the electronic social gaming platform to generate a third value algorithm, wherein as the stage of gameplay progresses, the weighting of game unit ownership percentage is increased relative to the weighting of at least one of game unit past performance relative to past expected performance and game unit projected performance;
• calculate a second value for the game unit by applying the third value algorithm;
• enabling a user associated with an account to transact with a game unit based on the second value of the game unit;
• enabling a user to play with a plurality of transacted game units with any plurality of other users within the electronic social gaming platform, regardless of whether the plurality of users are in a league with each other.
