[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be interesting. Will likely spread to any youth teams that have sub limits as well.

"Teams will be able to make up to five substitutions under a Fifa proposal to help players cope with fixture congestion amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The substitutions will be allowed in a maximum of three in-play slots and at half-time to avoid unnecessary stoppages but are being proposed in recognition of the long layoff and anticipated high volume of matches if and when games resume"

It's heretical, but substitution limits are the single dumbest thing in the sport, just like antiquated rules in baseball, especially in games where penalties must resolve ties.[/quote]

Five moments is fine but the game is meant to stress endurance plus stamina. Adding more subs turns a passing, tactical games into a fast break track meet. [/quote]

We should all support this change!  Having only 13 field players during a regular timed match doesn't allow for best overall development for a team of 23ish.[/quote]
