Ability:
Injured players back for next game

Ability:
Half wages
Price:

Sally Reecut loves to save money. Utilise her talent to cut your wage bill in half every off-season. The better your squad, the more you save. In case of an odd number wage bill, you round up. Example: 61 million in normal wages will be 31 million in wages with Sally Reecut in your club (not 30,5 million as the minor bills are 1 million, and not 30 million as that would be rounding down).

Ability:
+1 player appeal
Price:
20M
Goldi Gerr knows everyone worth knowing in the world of football. If you invest in a good relationship with her, she will talk your club up and make it look even better than it actually is.

With him on board, your club can develop off the pitch quicker than everyone else by having one extra action – three in total – during the investment phase of every off-season for the rest of the game (Training, Scouting, Stadium, or Key staff – still not more than one of each every off-season).
Ability:
Double chemistry
Price:
60M
B. Friend can befriend anyone, but more importantly, he makes existing friendships within the squad even better. With B. Friend around, all chemistry stars you can fit into your starting 11 counts for two stars instead of just 1.
Ability:
Get Garibaldi for 60M on Deadline day
Price:
10M
Garibaldi Sr. was a fine player himself back in the days, but his son has taken the family legacy to a different level. It’s universally agreed that the young Garibaldi is currently the best player in the world, and there are constant rumours surrounding his future. Many believe that he will become available in a transfer window very soon. If that happens, a relationship with his father/agent for a small consulting gig might be a good idea.
If you hire Garibaldi Sr., he will make sure that you get to sign his son for 60M if he becomes available on Deadline day. It’s a big if, but it might be worth the small investment.
If Garibaldi has already signed for a club by the time Garibaldi Sr. comes along, there is no value in hiring him as a Key staff member.
Q&A – Key Staff
Key staff members can’t be sold to the bank. You have to fire them without compensation if you wish to hire a new Key staff member. You can sell them to another manager if the two of you can agree on a deal.
You can use one of your investments to hire key staff. These come with a variety of advantages that lasts throughout the game. The price of hiring them is found at the bottom of the card. If you want to hire key staff, pick 2 cards and hire 1 or none. Even if you end up not hiring any of them, you still spend one investment action.
You have three available slots for Key staff members. If you wish to hire an additional Key staff member but have already filled all three slots, you must first:
a) Fire one of your current Key staff members (without compensation), or
b) Sell one of them to another manager.
Yes. Remember to add the bonus at the appropriate time. If you forget, you can not go back in time to claim your bonus.
Which slot you place a Key staff member in is irrelevant. A Key staff member giving an attacking bonus can be placed in, for example, the middle slot. It’s up to you.
Key staff members are available in Superclub (Base game), Top Six expansion and Powerhouses expansion.
