[Football] 5 Subs to continue into 2020/21 season

[southstandandy]

I see Fifa have sanctioned the continuation of the 5 subs rule into next season per BBC sport website :

Teams will be able to make five substitutions in a match until the end of the 2020-21 season after Fifa chose to extend the use of the rule.

World football's governing body says it is now up to individual leagues and competitions to decide if they wish to continue allowing five substitutions.

Will this become the new norm?

Will the 4 quarters approach continue too?

I thought I over heard on last night match they said the drinks breaks are here to stay?

Rubbish decision that will help the top clubs. It will encourage them to buy more players as they will offer more game time and then play them all for 30 minutes.
What joy for a defender when you bring on Augero for the last 30 minutes

And more opportunity for young (British) players?

It gives more opportunities for youngsters to get game time here and there so I like it.

Champions/Europa League say no. Highly unlikely, therefore, PL will say yes.

Should work in our favour if we are still in the Prem. Promoted clubs will need more quality in depth than they might have envisaged, and as Fulham then Villa showed, that costs more than even they spent.

I can see this helping us against mid and lower league teams If we stay up..

Potter likes to use his full squad rather than a set 11, I think we have already benefited during this tough spell being able to bring on like for like players with similar experience. All having played pre lockdown bar MacAlister and Lamptey

I guess if you're trying to break into the first team the manager may blood a few new faces into the matchday squad , but it must help those teams with exceptional players as if they need more help so I'm on the fence , surely all clubs will get a vote , it will be interesting to see the results of that .

And I thought I'd heard or read the exact opposite?

 

[MJsGhost]

It makes it harder to work out who to pick for my fantasy premier league team...

...for that reason, I am OUT!

And I thought I'd heard or read the exact opposite?

Most reports I've seen said drinks breaks will be ending, it's just the 5 subs that they are carrying over to next season.

This.

It absolutely benefits the richest clubs, no question about it.

If they’re not playing well and/or the scoreline not going their way, they bring on half an outfield team of world class players.

Giving youth a chance is a smokescreen.

Its up to the individual leagues. Water breaks are only here because playing in humid weather can be seriously dangerous and cab lead to dehydration.

I still think there should be a requirement that at least 2 of these 5 changes must be U21's otherwise you only get 3.

 

[Shooting Star]

What is the rationale for this?

 

[Weststander]

That was a clear pen.

Bmuff’s oath put studs into the striker’s foot, no attempt to play the ball.

Carragher and the commentator called it correctly

Clear and obvious to anyone but a corrupt mate of the ref.

If this goes ahead I will be giving my local county club my money. Trying to watch a game that could stop10 times for subs in the second half, many tactical to break up the flow and waste time
... what a load of old s__t

Agree that's what they are supposed to be meant for during the end of this season, but if they did carry on and we change from 2 halves to a 4 quarters approach then I can see the TV companies seeing this as a great opportunity to slip in another TV advertisement. I really hope we don't have the 4 quarters style next season as IMO it breaks up the games too much.

The ex pro’s on TV/radio all laughingly call the mid half breaks “Tactics breaks”. The game now split into four quarters. Definitely affecting games eg we gained after being poor in the first 22 minutes at Carrow Road, then excellent.

In our temperate climate, there’s no need in autumn/winter/spring for ‘drinks’ after 22 minutes.
