When's the squad values going to change? As the new season starts tomorrow, and the draft will be going on well past that point.
Might as well keep them for this draft seeing as the draft started this season and not the next. Change values after this draft.

Congrats BR
Will change for the Birmingham draft. @green_smiley usually does the squad values at the beginning of each season.
S16 squad will likely have Mbappe and Stones in.
That isnt ok....

Gonna be one interesting season.
First squad still looks amazing
Cup Round 1 against Crewe, Shield Round 1 against Exeter. Good draw
Got a stadium increase though, so will have FFP minus one
Got a stadium increase though, so will have FFP minus one
Spurs with the biggest seat increase from 44130 to 90000
The following clubs have stadium capacity increased
Div 1
AFC Bournemouth
Barnsley
Birmingham
Darlington
MKD
Plymouth
Southend Utd
Spurs
Div 2
Bury
Hereford
Div 1
AFC Bournemouth
Barnsley
Birmingham
Darlington
MKD
Plymouth
Southend Utd
Spurs
Div 2
Bury
Hereford
Top six will do. Squad needs major surgery which will take at least a season or two.
Great youth players, though.
The sudden increase of Spurs stadium capacity has messed up the FFP calculation
All the while Damien has the largest stadium
All the while Damien has the largest stadium
With this, almost everyone will have increase in FFP quota, except Spurs of course
Bruma, Hazard, Embolo and Ake all available for loans.
Mental
New FFP (S15)

Everyone, give a big thanks to @Big-Red
Reminder:
Loan Cap
Loan Cap
- Applies to unmanaged clubs only
- 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)
- Only players with rating 75 and/or above are allowed to be loaned out
- Duration - until Turn 2 every season. After Turn 2, it is free-for-all
Once the new Spurs stadium is completed in season 2018-19, FFP calculation will revert to previous state
When did my stadium get bigger ffs. I'll sort it out.
@green_smiley, I think the FFP is wrong for Barnsley. I have gone from 55 to 56 going in to div 1 and last time I was there I had 53. Was expecting it to be 52 this season...
There is nothing wrong. It is relative to the biggest stadium, and this has changed from Utd (76000+) to Spurs (90000)
Big-Red getting a 90k stadium has increased everyone else's FFP by about 3.
Today, and take your time
This season your Chairman expects you to mount a serious title challenge.
League Cup R1: Milton Keynes Dons (a) ffs
League Shield R1: Bradford City (h) meh
pre-season fixtures:
Forest (a)
Sunderland (h)
Norwich City (h)
Charity Shield: Sunderland (n)
Preston North End (h)
Pretty happy with that. All three pre-season games before the CS against Division 1 opposition so I can see how bad I am without Messi.

@RedRazor
Wonderful!
Quality in the middle has dipped, but hey ho.
FFS - promoted twice and no stadium increase. Beyond the joke.
I think it is the same for Hereford - 1st stadium increase after a season at Div 2
And in good news for me Chelsea stadium rebuild has been postponed till around 2024
The new Fossetts Farm stadium for Southend has been delayed, but capacity is only 21000 and mine is now way over that
