Today The Football League Announced That As of This Season..

Teams Will Only Be Allowed 5 Subs.

Gus Poyet said that some of the younger players who are the future of the club will not get a chance next season because of it.

Poor decision imo, Won't get to see some of the up and coming talent.

Do you agree with it?

Link?

No, it's annoying on FM, when you can only have 5 players on the bench

They announced this last week...

He was speaking on SSN.

Did it have anything to do with football league sides overloading there squads

Good for FM, can never be arsed puttting in the extra 2 subs.



But I agree with Poyet.

In Australia teams are only allowed 4 subs and 1 must be a keeper, leaves you with 3 subs, and it's difficult you don't get depth from positions and such, so no I don't agree with it, thought 7 subs was the perfect balance from the amount of players you could have on the bench.

This was announced AAAAAAGES ago. We all talked about it for a while in the thread last week.

But yes it's a daft decision.

SS slow as usual then.

What was it before? 7?

They reported it last week, the interview with Gus would of been new.

Bad move, gives youth less chance to get on the bench so they won't get as many minutes.

Really don't know why they did it

Its alright for us as we don't have any subs atm.

I think the reasoning is because of some clubs not being able to fill their benches

Stick a couple of youth players in there then...

I don't agree with it either, it's a stupid change.

When you consider the backup keeper this is really only 4 subs, very lame

I honestly don't give a fuck.
