Individual performances within a season can generate prize money too, with leading goal scorers and the best defenders gaining income for the club. The top goal scorer in each division will win his team £100k for his club, along with the benefits of losing just 10% of his skill levels through ageing, rather than suffering the normal adverse effects. The top goal scorer in the whole League is named Golden Boot and will earn an additional 250K for his side.
The team with the best defensive record in each Division will also win 100K and their oldest, highest non-star skilled defender or sweeper (Not a DF/A) will be chosen as their `best defensive player’. All these players and the leading goal scorers, gain an additional benefit when the effects of ageing set in at season end. Rather than lose the normal amount of skill levels associated with their current age, they will drop only10% of their total. This can be of great benefit if they are older players, who might otherwise become useless next season, but is not so hot when these players are perhaps very young.
Please note that these bonuses cannot be passed on to other players, and that only the leading goal scorers and best defenders (that is, a player with DF or SW as his recorded playing position!) can gain the associated benefits.
Also up for grabs are The Fair Play Award, for the team in the league that has the least Disciplinary points, and the GM’s Award, which is given to the team that the GM thinks has made the most improvements, best contribution to the season, or whatever he decided is the outstanding reason for a side deserving a boost to their finances. Both of these prizes will be worth 250K.
