Reminder:

Loan Cap
  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

My loan players for S16:

Agreed clubs (let me know if any of you have changed your mind)
Andreas Christensen (21/89): Hereford FC (@RedSky)
Kurt Zouma (23/88): Bristol City (@harshad)
Arkadiusz Milik (24/88): Bristol City (harshad)
Nico Elvedi (21/87): Kidderminster Harriers (@gaz1185)

Still available
Luke Shaw (22/88 D,DM(L))
Calum Chambers (23/87 D(RC),DM(C))
Denis Zakaria (21/87 D,DM,M(C))
Santi Mina (22/87 AM,F(RLC))

I'd say there is a good chance that all of Christensen, Zakaria, Mina and Elvedi will rise in May. If anyone is interested, put loan bid in now and I'll accept tomorrow.

Ffp reduced with promotion?

Already out of the shield in round 1 as I drew everton
Bye week in the cup

Also unexpected surprise I'm still in Europe. I guess for winning the league shield last season.
Chairman expects top half finish and so do I.

Could the the loan cap be extended longer than turn 2? Would give a chance for others to get some loans in. Unless you were up all night it was impossible to get your loans in.

Wow! Didn't even notice they knocked that stand down to build a new one.

Should help quite a bit! 30% increase on revenue for home games if they all turn up.
