does a players income remain the same during the whole season?, so now it depends on what skills went up to calculate the new wages? some could go up pretty high?

i bought(bid) a few trash players lvl 16, salary less then 1000, to replace as I find,,,,,, just now checking that scale of highest skill, most of them have as a 5, the scale says it will be $2400, will they likely bump up to that wage?,,,,, best to cut them and re buy other 16's after the rollover?, or just wait and see how the wages turn out? , by adding up what i think my wages next season will be, from highest non physical skill chart, about 72000, so should t be to bad huh?

I'm in a bit of trouble financially as I miscalculated having to cover off season without a match this weekend.

I have just had a bankruptcy warning and I am -$522k in debt now with +$534 prize money due ... but of course I'm getting hit again for salaries next Weds so it's going to be close.

Q1: Do I have to have a minimum number of players on my roster? i.e. can I sack a whole bunch of them to survive?

Q2: When do we get to sign up with a new sponsor (do they come with a lump sum up front as I can't remember?

Cheers (I'm nervous)
