I know the rule has only just come in but hand on heart I feel it will be a matter of time before there is problems with this rule. Take into account the mid table to lower end teams. For them it will be a nightmare. Take Everton into account last season they missed at times 7-9 players due to injuries or bans on certain weeks. How are those other teams going to be able rely on there youth set up which would not be the standard of Evertons. I feel any team this season within the top 4 get a bad run of injuires they will highlight the rule as stupid and not worth having within the game. So it means in some cases playing kids that are either not ready to play or simply not good enough to play in the league. Also with the English football tough seasons it means less of players getting rested during the season as to normal. I cant wait to see how the league react to when 1 of the so called top 4 have a injury crisis this season and wheater they will bend the rules for them or not.
