But without further ado, let's present our pre-transfers squad. I'll have an availability post soon ish, some history because we're onto our 4th year in ManGame already. No clue how to throw in middle mountain stuff so just imagine it's there.

So basically, at first glance it seems like we freed up a big portion of wage, but with Ayuso returning after his loan it evens it out pretty much. I was surprised to be able to pull both Reis' and Powless' wage down after last season but I'm certainly not complaining.

Now for our availability I guess, cash is king in most cases. For any rider I didn't specify in the table it's whatever happens really. A convincing bid could pry them from my cold stubborn hands but if our value for them isn't satisfied I won't cry about keeping them. Ofcourse, everything can change with how the market develops. Riders like Powless and El Sabbahi are our most important riders in that category and so will need to command a decently big offer to consider, even if I don't specify them staying. I like having fun transfers and tinkering with a squad so it's on the cards. Ayuso is staying. There's about 5,000,000 possible scenario's at every stage of transfer season and only 1 will warrant me selling him.

My fun little band of regionals and exotics will likely stay but there's always a chance to be convinced to let them depart. I'm aware I've not been as regionally focused as I should be ideally, with only having three Sammarinese riders. It's a process, where you try to find your identity I suppose, and I feel like it's almost complete. We've primarily focused on the Mediterranean area in the last few years, with a big chunk of our leaders coming from the general area. Morocco and Portugal have played a big role, and with our Inquisitor Ayuso developing nicely Spain is added into the mix. It feels right, and most importantly fun to me, so that's what I will continue to do. Don't be afraid to contact me either here through DMs or on Discord, I shall entertain most if not all offers at my convencience.

Good luck, and see you on the battlefield everyone.

With Reis on his way out we needed a replacement, capable of getting as much points as possible to keep our chances of survival up. Ayuso was sold to the Crazy Chicken Brothers to make space for our sexy Mexican, and with that Ryan Eastman makes his way into the team!
