Southampton Weekly Salaries (Update final FM 2016 database)

The final Football Manager 2016 update has been released. I have listed the weekly salaries of Southampton players below.

As I stated in my priors FM based salary lists, I have no idea how accurate these figures are and they do not take into account performance bonuses.  On the other hand, during the summer of 2014 when I was considering Financial Fair Play issues FM’s base salaries fairly closely corresponded to the information released by the club for the players’ salaries as a whole.

The only changes since the last update are the addition of Charlie Austin and a reduction in Ramirez’s salary from 55 to 40 per week.  I assume that there has been no actual change in his salary but simply a change in the official opinion of Football Manager.  Also, Caulker is gone.

I have left the last three sets of numbers in so it is easy to see the changes.  The salaries are in thousands of pounds per week.

Targett                                 10                           10                           2

Everyone else is listed as making £5K or less a week so I will stop here.

According to this FM 2016 Southampton’s total weekly pay has stayed exactly the same since the last update.  The reduction in Ramirez and the removal of Caulker exactly balances the addition of Austin.  I leave it as an exercise for the reader to evaluate the likelihood that is correct.
