HOUSE RULES


Scouting
Players must come mostly from countries where you would expect a La Liga team to recruit players from. First and foremost, Hispanophone countries or players from such countries will be given preference. Secondly, players from the Portuguese speaking world. After those two priorities, preference will be given to players from southern Europe, France and Africa. Obviously, there have been instances of northern and eastern Europeans joining Liga sides, but I’m not going to have a squad that’s half English players.

Players must be A) scouted through the GTN or B) performing in a league and/or competition that would realistically garner attention. For example, a Spanish 17-year-old in the MLS would not garner attention and therefore unless I had a scout in the U.S., I cannot sign that player. If said Spanish 17-year-old was the top scorer in the Europa League regardless of what club he is playing for, I can sign that player as media attention would be heaped on that player.

Youth academy scouting must follow the same rules as the above rule about where players should come from. Most of the club’s youth academy should be and will be Spanish and/or Spanish-speaking with a secondary preference given to French-speaking and/or Portuguese-speaking countries.

As to which youth academy players are selected, any Spanish player with a 90+ MAXIMUM potential (i.e. 69-93) in their first month of being scouted must be signed. If their potential drops, I can’t release them from the club until they are 17 and/or demand to be signed to the first team. If there is a demand to be signed to the first team and their potential high at the time is 83+, they must be signed to the first team.

Players from the preference countries must be scouted a minimum of 3 months and their MINIMUM potential has to be 80+ before I can sign them to my youth academy. Players from other countries (i.e. the U.S., England, Germany, Croatia, etc.) must be scouted a minimum of 5 months and their MINIMUM potential has to be 85+ before I can them to my youth academy. This is to A) simulate that a club would only want the best of the best from another country out of their normal scouting sphere and B) increase the chance of players being poached as I have to wait on them longer.

Contracts
A wage structure must be maintained at all times.

Players will be put into the tiered squad roles as follows: 4 crucial first team players, 9 important first team players, 15 squad rotation players, unlimited number of any player below squad rotation.

Every player in a tier must make the same amount per week. Each tier down must make 35 percent less than the tier above. For example, if crucial first team players make 150,000 a week, important first team players must make 115,000 a week and so on.

The numbers are hard caps. If I bring in a crucial first team player, a crucial first team player has to leave or take a pay cut. If a crucial first team player accepts a pay cut, an important first team player must leave or take a pay cut and so on.

If a player demands a raise to the next tier up and there is no room for them, they must be sold in the next possible window. No exceptions.

The wage structure will be enacted after the first season to allow for the players initially on the roster to be fit into it.

Transfers In
At no point will I use sites like sofifa, FUTWiz, etc.

As stated above in the scouting portion, players who are bought must fit into the categories above. No exceptions.

During player negotiations, players who are 22 and under and who are scouted as “high potential” players and not expected to be in the club’s regular rotation, must have 20% added to their transfer value. For example, if player X is 10 million, I must offer the club 12 million. Counter offers of a higher value can be negotiated in any manner I see fit as long as the 20% increase is maintained.

Players who are 22 and under and who are scouted as “high potential” players and who are expected to be part of the club’s regular rotation, must have 40% added to their transfer value. Players who are expected to be a part of the regular first team must have 100% added to their transfer value. The transfer market is outrageous these days. I shouldn’t be signing 18-year-old world beating first team regulars for 10 million.

I can only sign one player per season on a free contract in January. However, the player must either be A) under the average overall of the players at that position or B) a crucial first team player.
I can sign players for bargains in the final season of their contract. This extends to players under 22, but the percentage increase must be accounted for.

Any player signed must fit into the wage structure of the club. If a player breaks the wage structure, it must be adjusted to match (i.e. players getting raises to match new high). However, the player quotas cannot be changed and as such, sales must be made to balance.

Transfers Out
Wage structure rules apply.

I can only force crucial and important first team players to stay by pricing them out of a move.

I can haggle with squad rotation players’ prices, but I cannot price them out of a move.

If a bid comes in above 50 percent of a player under squad rotation’s value, I must sell them. No exceptions.

Player Exchanges
Player exchange transfers will be kept to a minimum.

If a young player is transferred as part of a player exchange and I would like to bring them back, I can at 150% of their value.

Financial Fair Play
Every effort will be made to not exceed 30 million in debt at the end of the transfer window. If 30 million is exceed, sales must be made to balance by the end of the following year’s window (i.e. if in violation in Summer 2017 then by Summer 2018, the debt must be cleared).

Prize money, shirt sales, etc. can be used to balance debt.

This list is a living document and may be added to.
