Anyone seen Simmonds play this season? There was a fair bit of hype around his ability at such a young age. Wondered how he’s progressing…

Out of interest, do PL2 matches count towards this '3+2' rule?

I’m pretty certain they don’t count (or they didn’t at least) because PL2 is not considered a senior tournament.

I know we are going back a few seasons but Anders Dreyer played a couple of PL2 games before going on loan to Heerenveen. We then recalled him in January and loaned him out to Midtjylland for the second half of the season. Obviously this wouldn’t be possible If the PL2 competition counted towards the 3+2 rule.

Which made the fact the EFL trophy games were considered senior appearances for the academy teams even more baffling. At least that’s been changed now.
