What's the current minimum squad size? It always seems to change, last I remember it was 21?

Weird ratings...

Diop who's been starting every game for Toulouse doesn't rise and sits at 85. Anguissa who's been a bit part player for Marseille gets a +4 to 84. :confused:

Presume it's a harsh rating cap for them? SM go full muppet in some leagues and as tight as an arse in others

Option 1:

Division 1 = 3
Division 2 = 6
Division 3 = 9
Division 4 = 12
Division 5 = 15

*First come, first serve. Just ensure that you don't go over your loan out cap (for unmanaged clubs).

Option 2:

Your loan cap is basically your FFP minus 40 (could be changed to any number). So if you have a 49 FFP cap, then you can loan out 9 players to unmanaged clubs. If you're 53 FFP then you can loan out 13. Again first come, first serve.

Neither Option is ideal, but you never win get an ideal scenario as clubs can be taken over at any point or managers leave and it would upset the Loan Cap all over again.

Think we all said Option 2 seemed good when we discussed it. Check the posts around this quote for a bit more detail.

Tomorrow the top three should finally be reviewed, hopefully. Just need Mbappe to get a hat-trick tonight to ensure a +3 to 89 while Jesus gets a +2 to 90.

Without having read the relevant discussion, I do think option two is right. Option one is too restrictive, op 2 at least works in tandem with the structure already in place.

I agree. Teams at the bottom of a division would be at a huge disadvantage to the teams at the top of the division using option 1.
