Transferred Captains
When a Captain is transferred between clubs, he will take a percentage of his Captains Games with him, dependent upon his age. This is presently marked at 2% per year x age, which means a 20 year-old will take a maximum of 40% of his Games with him, while a 33 year-old will carry 66% of them. Though this is not much of a disparity between the younger and older players, you will usually find that not many 20 year-olds have many games under their belts, while the aged Captains may have played upwards of two hundred games, and therefore gain a far greater benefit. A newly acquired Captain must be designated as such on your next set of orders; otherwise he will not play as such.
Note that if a Captain is placed in the Auction but remains unsold, he will lose some of his influence on returning to the team in exactly the same manner, due in some part to his disillusionment at being offered up for sale!
