You can also see a more detailed breakdown by selecting the Contract view on your Squad screen to display basic details of each playerвЂ™s contract, and then ordering by the Squad Status column. The Wages tab on the Finances screen summarises the amounts paid for each squad status group as discussed above. You should also consider your ambitions for your clubвЂ™s future improvement and success, which may require you to spend more on wages but could also bring in the additional income to finance this extra expenditure if success is achieved.Д«efore you can implement your own wage structure however, you will first need to establish what sort of structure is currently in place.

You should therefore give each player a squad status that accurately reflects his importance, and then decide on an appropriate average wage for players with each squad status, taking into account your wage budget and overall financial situation. Implementing a wage structure means paying each player a wage that reflects his importance to the team. This will help you to avoid paying high wages to a player who is no longer good enough to justify them. The easiest way to check when your playersвЂ™ contracts are due to expire is to use the Contract view on your Squad screen and order by the Expires column.ДЇor older players who are closer to the end of their careers it is best to offer new contracts later and you should negotiate shorter term deals, possibly with one-year extension clauses included. For a player who is surplus to your requirements, you will want to sell him before his potential value falls as his contract nears expiry.

For an important player who you want to keep, renewing his contract early will help secure his future with your club and ward off interest from elsewhere which could cause him to increase his contract demands or even consider his future. It is important to have a system in place where you decide on a playerвЂ™s future at your club at a certain point before his contract expires. Over time, this will enable you to afford to keep players with higher and higher reputations and so increase the stature of your club. By having a transfer policy that focuses on signing and developing cheap young players with good potential ability and selling players on for a profit you will be able to lower your net transfer spending, and therefore increase the amount that you can afford to pay on wages.
