Loan Cap (S14 and onwards)
  1. Applies to unmanaged clubs only
  2. Loan cap = FFP minus 40, first come first serve (e.g. if your FFP aka squad limit is 50, your loan cap = 50 - 40 = 10, which means you can only loan 10 players out to unmanaged clubs)
  3. Only players with rating 75 and/or above are allowed to be loaned out
  4. Duration - until Turn 2 every season. After Turn 2, it is free-for-all

Leicester city.

I've only been in charge for 3 games but we managed to move up 2 places so got a little bit more spending money.

8m in bank after all is said and done.

Targets for next season.

Division 2 title or at least promotion.

And a decent cup run.

WOLVERHAMPTON WONDERERS -

Not a bad season overall, achieved survival comfortably in the end.

Have to aim for top 10 next season and a better run in the cups, feel like it will be achievable with a kind draw and the squad depth I'm building.

On a side note I wish they would hurry up and finish Italy already.

:eek: Seems it slowed down. In 2 seasons, he will have cash reserves same as my squad value.
Maybe 5-6
Yeah, I'm basically reliant on prize money to make a profit. My squad is worth around £750M so the club as a whole is worth over £1B

Loan status:

Hazard - Leeds
Tielemans - Ipswich
Zappacosta - Barnsley
Hendrix - Leicester

Available:

88s: Silva, Bruma, Torres
87s: Bazoer, Barbosa, Embolo, Ramirez
86: Ake

Rest are 85 n below.

I'll not be loaning out anyone below 80 to help the lower clubs get more loans in. Wouldn't loan out anyone at all to unmanaged clubs but don't want to risk shitty concerns with the 80s guys. Couple of cnuts in the 70s still managed to pick concerns last season though :lol:

Yeah, I played Merino in 2 games in the league (1 start, 1 sub) when he had a level 1 concern and he still rose in concern. Entitled 82 rated players these days... I'm not going to loan him out but if he gets to a level 4 concern I'll do like what JB has seemingly done with Vazquez.

I'm not as involved in the game as before so I didn't bother but such deals aren't in the spirit of the game imo as it's just circumventing ffp. Ditto with some other deals that have been happening of late.

I agree on the whole - definitely with players in the 90s - and I wouldn't have that sort of deal for one of my 90+ rated players. With a player like Merino who gets an inexplicable concern I don't see the issue as much but I wouldn't be making a habit of it.

City and MK Dons are the worst for players with concerns. I manage to control mine fine on the whole.
