Retiring Players
Any player deemed surplus to requirements in your squad can be retired by following the on-line retiring process.
Players may become surplus to requirements due to many reasons. Older players (32+), those with high disciplinary points, lack of international prospects or if they are injury prone. Consider these options carefully, but remember holding on to players for the sake of it is not a good move long term.
You have the choice of receiving cash of youth points for players of skill 5 and under. While skill 5 and above players can be retired for skill points, placed onto another player to increase their skill.
| Skill | Youth Points | Game Money | Skill Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | £10,000 | - |
| 2 | 2 | £20,000 | - |
| 3 | 3 | £50,000 | - |
| 4 | 4 | £100,000 | - |

Strict rules for retiring skill points on other players exist, please be ensure you have players eligible for the skill points in your squad before retiring a player as errors cannot be rectified.
- High skill players can only be retired if they are over 27 years of age or have reached the plateau of 24 Disciplinary points in their career. This is to ensure good young players are not needlessly retired.
- Player receiving skill point must be lower skill than player retiring.
- No more than 2 skill points can be retired on to a player in any one retiral.
- Players cannot rise above the skill level of the retiring player.
- A goalkeeper can only receive skill points from another goalkeeper.
- Players who are retired onto will receive the lower of their current WACS or the WACS of the player being retired.
- Each player will now only be allowed to be retired onto 3 times in their career. Once they have their third retiral point added they can receive no more.
