Premier League

Hidden somewhere yesterday amongst them playing a game abroad was also the fact that next year they can now have 7 subs on the bench.

So looks like the lower club can be getting  fucked over again. Dont think we would of cox for example if they were allowed 7 on the bench this year do you

[Colin Todd]

I dont think it makes much difference.

All the european leagues allow 7, as do the european cometitions. It might allow a few youngsters to have more of a chance of getting a game if their team are winning convincingly

In the case of Cox, I doubt it would have made any difference either. He'd be just as dis-illusioned sitting on the bench and not playing as he would have been playing for Reading reserves.

But I think the point is that premier will have bigger squads to handle 7 subs and they won't be releasing players on loan to lower league clubs as they will want them to sit on the bench

it's a great idea because when playing FM it gives you far more choice of subs.

i always like to have one keeper two fullbacks (pref. one who can play centreback too), one defensive midfielder, one winger, one attacking midfielder and one striker.

But premier league clubs already have big squads, made up of senior players, not yoofs

not all do, some have been forced to fill the bench up with youths

This would be good if the FA forced each team to have both of the 2 extra subs as english players/youngsters tbh

Isn't there something in EU employment law that prevents that though?

Would be a shame if there was...

So why the fuck cant I  get work permits for the players that I want on FM then?

Because you're outside the EU.
