the point is that no team can afford to have all good player course of finances... there is no team that could afford to have starting 5 - 150k/w, 120k/w, 80k/w, 40k/w, 40k/w... and couple of sub those would be equal to the starters... that in reality is possible...
Not true. those numbers are certainly possible. I would imagine managers wanting to risk smaller squads could operate with those sort of figure. Its more that the right players are few and far between to purchase at the moment.
Not much higher though :D
I reckon in less than 1 season you will see a starting 5 like this. (or lets say wage total $400k for starters)
