Southampton Weekly Salaries (Update FM 2016 beta database)

A slightly updated version of this post can be found here.

The beta version of Football Manager 2016 has been released.  As always, I have taken the opportunity to shamelessly crib from their database for my blog.

Once again, I have listed the weekly salaries of Southampton players below.  I do not know whether these numbers will change in the official release.  If they do, I will publish an update.

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 when totaled fairly closely corresponded to the information released by the club for the total players’ salaries.
I have left the last two sets of numbers in so it is easy to see the changes.  The salaries are in thousands of pounds per week.

Gazzaniga                        18                           14                           14
K. Davis                            16                           16                           16

Reed                                 10                           10                           10
Targett                             10                           2
Everyone else is listed as making £4K or less a week so I will stop here.
According to this FM 2016 ,Southampton’s total weekly pay has increased £40K since February 1, 2015.  However, that includes the £5K per week drop in Long’s pay which almost certainly did not happen.  Presumably, the wizards at FM decided that they overstated his salary last year which would mean an actual increase of £45K per week.
