Summary
- Floor of $8m
- Ceiling of $12m
- No more GAM/TAM. Instead, you get bonuses applied to your cieling and you can trade excess cap space as $$$.
In our case that means Insigne and Bernadeschi don’t count against the cap. And all our young guys don’t count against our cap for the duration of their career so long as they don’t transfer out permanently.
If we qualify for CCL or finish last the usual GAM bonus money temporarily raises our cap cieling.
The opposite, (I.e 3rd DP tax) can apply as a penalty which lowers the cieling.
By allowing clubs to trade their cap space, everyone - other clubs, fans, players - is always aware of the amount of tradeable cash on hand. In this case, technically, you have $4m to trade and play around with.
