Erling Haaland (21/94) Dortmund ---> Manchester City
Congrats. Not looked but don't think any of my players have moves agreed. Mbappe is like 80/20 to head to Real Madrid and I can make guesses on other moves like Eriksen to somewhere, Kounde to Chelsea and Mina to prison but nothing concrete.

How are the squad maximum limits with FFP made?
It's a formula based roughly on the maximum earnings if everyone was in Division 1. Here's a quick explanation I gave to someone else a while back (you'll have to expand the quote)
The formula from the spreadsheet is ROUNDDOWN((MAX(D:D)-D15)/3,0)+42+((C15-1)*2)

Substituting the numbers in for you

ROUNDDOWN((81-51)/3,0)+42+((1-1)*2)
ROUNDDOWN(30/3,0)+42+(0)
ROUNDDOWN(10+42)
ROUNDDOWN(52)

52.

C15 is the league you're in, so if you're in Division 2 it would be 54 etc.
The first part is based on your finances compared to others, which you can see a snippet of here. The finances are based on league alone not including wages so it is fair and consistent across the board.

So in words the overall formula is

((richest club's earnings in millions - your earnings in millions)/3) + 42 + ((league you're in - 1) * 2)

I don’t really follow but okay. Just wasn’t sure why Liverpool and Chelsea can have more players than WHU when the former are both bigger and more lucrative.

Stadium capacity.

West Ham United - 60k
Liverpool - 54k
Chelsea - 44k

Only three clubs in Division 1 have a higher capacity than West Ham.

Who is Kidderminster? Sticking their nose in my transfer business with undisclosed bids. Don’t make an enemy of me. I’ll run your club out of town.

No wonder they need to steal in for bids.

Glad they got some justice from the Red Army

Induction to the league is fully complete now.

Also Germany review in progress. Don't forget to add your guesses for rises. Will do mine later today
I have only one, he's just been updated - Sosa goes to 88.

1:1 draw against Nottingham Forest last night, ruling out Trent through injury for such crucial games as Hereford, Everton and Newcastle United. I hope beyond hope that his fitness is back up for the game against Aston Villa as, if it isn't I'll be battling to keep a spot in the top half.
