JordanMilly Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 You're basically paying too much in wages, more than you were allowed. You'll either get a fine or a 5 point deduction for the next season if you fail that part of FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladoo Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 But my wage total is way under what the board have allowed, how much am I over do you know from that that photo? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scass Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 One of the many things that is difficult to fathom, or at least keep track of. I've had innumerable occasions when it's telling me I'm over on PL wage rules, then next time I look, I'm back on track, without anything having changed. I now ignore it for PL, as all you get is a fine for wages. If they're going to introduce something like this, then they need to put a more manageable way of keeping track of it - with wage increases especially, it's impossible to know if you're within the limit for increases. Or maybe it's just one the many things that's there to look like you have buttons to press. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Under Premier League rules, you're only allowed to increase your wage bill by a certain amount each season - normally £7m, or about £134k per week - unless you've successfully increased certain revenue streams e.g. ticket sales to cover it, or had a very low wage bill to start with. You've increased it by more than this, so you're on course to be fined. The fine is 10% of the amount you overspent by - so at the moment, on course to be £2.9m. The board are letting you spend that much because they'd rather pay that fine than hamper the club's chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes a lot more sense, thanks a lot so I'm okay to continue spending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if who you brought in are costing more than the ones you sold in wages, then it's right. But it would be better if they gave you a way of keeping track of it.

Although i thought the players who left was on high ish wages to cover it. That's why im so confused Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold a player on 10k, sent some youth out on loans for which I was paid 100% wages. End if the window - it's in the red again. I'd say I was disappointed, but really, I'm not - it's the kind of sloppy, shabby approach which makes most of the information in this game meaningless.
