Great work, Damo! Can you also do a manager level trophy count if that's not too much work?

Loans need to be discussed for fairness

@Damien

Loans need to be discussed for fairness

What do you mean? Changing the minimum rating allowed to be loaned out or what?

 

[TheReligion]

What do you mean? Changing the minimum rating allowed to be loaned out or what?

Yes. And perhaps place a max limit on how many loans you can have outgoing so everyone gets a fair shake at it.

 

[Damien]

Yes. And perhaps place a max limit on how many loans you can have outgoing so everyone gets a fair shake at it.

We already have that, though its only for the first two turns.

https://www.redcafe.net/threads/the...ted-win-the-league-again.349538/post-29489000

Later today I'll post the stadium and FFP updates then will do a poll on if people want the loan ratings changed, a suggested new hard minimum or a sliding scale (75 D5, 76 D4, 77 D3, 78 D2, 79 D1 etc). Think the latter would be better for the clubs starting in the bottom division rather than being hamstrung by a new minimum of 80 or whatever.

 

[harshad]

FFP getting updated for the new season?

Edit: Just noticed your post @Damien . Cheers!

 

[Damien]

I think the following clubs have stadium capacity increased

Div 1
Southend United: 43921 -> 44139 (now a larger capacity than Everton)
Leyton Orient: 37912 -> 42362
Hereford: 40231 -> 42268

Div 2
Gillingham: 21660 -> 22134

@Springfield WildCats has until the end of the month to get his FFP in order

 

[Damien]

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. Duration for the above - until Turn 2 every season. After Turn 2, it is free-for-all
4. HARD RULE: Only players with rating 75 and/or above are allowed to be loaned out - if you spot someone breaking this, tell them to recall the player

@coolredwine you ignored this post, loaning out more players instead. You can only loan out players rated 75 or higher (and no more than 12 of them), please recall from loan the players that are rated lower than 75 so others get a chance to loan some of their players out. If you refuse to do this, it will be a FFP ban.

Great work, Damo! Can you also do a manager level trophy count if that's not too much work?

Here you go, you're close to taking third outright (not done this season's so far but that just adds another 2 to my count anyway):

Thanks! Your trophy count is obscene ffs

Mostly about rebuilding at the right times and the likes of yourself, RS, The Stain and Trionz changing clubs when you did as I have no doubt at least one of you would be knocking on 20. I think Everton is the club with the most managers winning trophies while there - all 4 (@TheReligion, @The Stain, @Dom Gill and @Mciahel Goodman).

With my imminent problems at CB, LB and attack, it's a good time for other clubs to step up like Southend, Newcastle, Villa and Arsenal. I think you four have the depth and no possible imminent age problems like Middlesbrough have with their three highest rated.
