£8.5k wage budget is terrible. You should be able to renegotiate some players' contracts to cut the current bill down a bit, though. Most players at that level will accept a £50/75 p/w cut from their wage demands, which isn't much individually but soon adds up across a squad of twenty or more players.
Good call starting Psy, by the way. Pace is incredibly important in the lower levels, and a speedy player, especially one with a good dribbling stat can be very effective. Plus, like you say, mental stats are easier to develop than physical, so while this Saunders guy will probably never get any faster, Paul can easily improve the mental side of his game.
EDIT: Nice photo. I can imagine the half time bollockings already. xD
EDIT 2: Just realised the Under 18's should have been called The Newbies. Is it too late for that now?
