Payments to Homegrown players are now outside the cap, so Cacace, Singh, Rufer, Elliot are able to be out outside the Salary cap.
[Edit: I wrongly thought Sail, Fenton & Doyle if re-signed would count but I think its only u23 players]
So we can pay the 4 most expensive of Cacace/Singh/Rufer/Elliot/Sail outside the cap.
If we re-sign Doyle, 30% of his wages can be outside the cap & if Durante re-signs, 50% of his wages can be outside the cap. Fenton doesn't qualify for a loyalty allowance because he left the club for that 1 season.
This all depends on WelNix's willingness to use all available cap exceptions tho, they haven't shown that much willingness to do so in the past.
