Obviously I'm not aware of what kind of lifestyle his wife and two kids are used to, but I am aware of what salary he was on. For the three years he was at Man Utd he was on £7,800,000 a year. Obviously 45% of that is lost in income tax, and he has an agent to pay and suchlike. But prior to Man Utd he'd been playing senior football at the top level for 12 years, so you'd think he'd have earned a few quid over the years too (I really can't be bothered to find out his salary over the course of his career, but let's agree it's reasonably high?). And he's still currently on a reported gross salary of €3.5 million at Wolfsburg. So all in all, unless his family are accustomed to eating Salt Bae's Golden Tomahawk steak every meal you'd have to think they aren't going to be poor if Erikssen decided to retire now especially as you'd hope he might have made some long-term financial plans after his first health scare surely?

Absolutely. I'm not saying it's a rational fear, just that that might be the motivation behind him continuing to play, rather than selfishness, necessarily.

The game does seem to love a shit Southampton or Watford side. I seem to roll an inordinate amount of those. Also confused about how far back the squads go, 90% of the time it's from 2015 onwards, yet I have had one as early as 1994.

I managed to get 1992 QPR at one point!

If you look at the scrollbar before you start drafting you can select which PL seasons you want to use
