A maximum of 25 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers. There are a minimum of eight places reserved exclusively for 'locally trained players'. If a club have fewer than eight locally trained players in their squad, then the maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.
What's a 'locally trained player'?
There are two categories:
1. Club-trained players – players who were on a club's books for three years between the ages of 15 and 21;
2. Association-trained players – players who were on another club's books in the same association for three years between the ages of 15 and 21. No club can have more than four association-trained players among their eight 'local' nominees on List A.
It’s two keepers minimum and we can have up to 25 players, last year we had 21 players registered in the A list for champions league squad - so no it isn’t one in one out.
Our problem last year was that we couldn’t fill the maximum of 8 locally trained players - Kane is an addition to that number so we are ok.
This is wrong. Of the 8 locally trained 4 HAVE to be club trained. We currently have 22 first team players and only 1 is club trained. We cannot add any to the CL squad A list unless 1 drops off. For every non club trained player your squad size gets reducedA maximum of 25 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers.

It very much is. Fyi, I'm not trying to have a spat or anything, it is well intended pointing out.
The 4 spaces as per your category 1, don't need filled. You can register less. Same with your category 2, but once you fill the 4, all other association trained take up one of the 17.
We have filled our 17 with 15 and 2 from category 2. And our 4 association trained. We can't fut any more to either of those. We can fit in club trained, but only from our own academy.
So while we can, and have done, and will again, register a smaller squad, we can't register anyone else that isn't from your category 1. As the other two are at maximum capacity. This one in one out/omitted.
The issue to a smaller squad is we do not have enough club trained players.
Stephen Hawking would have struggled with it.Yeah, no slight taken, the rules are as clear as mud - I’ve now read the article of regulation for the champions league and your right - despite how many other ways I have read it over the last two years.
Thanks buddy - I actually understand that shit now !
Well done pmslThe level of response I expected from someone who thinks Joao Cancelo could replace Fernandinho in midfield.
Does the title of this thread read “Txiki Blinders” or “Txiki Blunders”?
Only if we keep playing Mendy :)if we dont land a world class striker then the second one mate! especially if laporte and bernardo leave the squad as well and only grealish (who i am delighted to have!) coming in, the squad is weaker and we will struggle to win the title imo.
Being in LA I have 8 extra hours and still sweet FA…I waited forlornly all day and i even have 5 extra hours !
